View Full Version : a really big inn in a really big cave (I'm a dragon, ok?)for anyone and everyone!!!
"For only thus could it be brought
Under our submission,
Then our road will be less frought
With dangers for this mission!"
They knew what had to be done
But it wasn't easy at all
The beast was sure it had won
And it seemed so strong and tall
But the maiden was brave
Dragon courageous
Their skills did them save
And helped them beat the dangers

In a blazing fury
D drew up and flew
Soon the beast was sorry
For it had turned to stew
"Hurah!" the maiden cried
"You did it! Now we're free!
I knew he hadn't lied,
When he said to count on thee!"
Dragon stood confused
Who was this of she spoke?
Then D felt sorely used
And leaned against an oak.

"Of whom does she speak?" Dragon thought
"And where does she wants me to send?
If our road with so many dangers is fraught
What is waiting for me in its end?"
Alright then, Gladriel:) But feel free to join in when ever you like;)

"Of whom does she speak?" Dragon thought

"Do not look so down cast,
My fare and noble friend,
For it was told long past
That you would comprehend
"The fate that you awaits.
It cannot be shrugged off.
So come let's make good haste,
The road and long and rough!"

Dragon tried worried to be not
As they continued their road
Neither of them spoke a lot
But both thought of their home

ah.... I wish I could add on, but I'm brain dead right now.... urgh
It's ok D:) But start thinkin already!:p;)
You know, guys, when we first started this thing I didn't think that it would be just ely and me...the way I understood it, it was supposed to be a 'group' thing...it takes more than two to make a group, ya know;)
So get cracking!!
p.s.
ely, good work buddy *thumbs up*!:)

Then finally, one morning bright
They came upon their goal;
A castle great, of dazzling hight,
White flag upon a pole.
Well, I try to do my best. :) Thanks

Then finally, one morning bright
They came upon their goal;
A castle great, of dazzling hight,
White flag upon a pole.
The castle made of stone so white
One tower reaching heaven
Its windows shining in sunlight
And doors were open seven
Its towers gleaming silver
Its stairs were made of gold
The spears with sparkling jewels
The royal guards did hold

"Therein lies our master
Who sent me long ago,
Because I was much faster
Than his evil foe
Who wished to indeed slay you
So you counldn't do this task.
Since Master did then save you
Do as he may ask."

Dragon nodded and entered
The castle so beautiful and fair
Inside she heard a voice gentle
That was talking to her
She turned her head to look
And saw a figure that stood
Holding a dusty old book
Face covered with dark hood

Then he bobbed his head
With almost a menacing leer.
For a brief moment D felt,
a nameless feeling within her heart.
Like a memory, a shadow of excruciating pain,
that as sudden as it had come, disappeared again.
But she had no time to wonder,
for the maiden 'fore her stood,
and spoke "I have returned, by thunder.
You thought I never would!"
"And see, my Lord whom I have brought:
the mighty Dragon, beside whom I've fought...
"Yes, yes." the cloaked Lord broke in.
"Let us tarry no longer, we must soon begin!"
Surprised by his rudeness, the two at him glared.
As the figure made his way up the grand stairs.
Without a word, they slowly did follow.
But they felt deep inside, a fear cold and hollow.
s'up!
they are nice poems!
Thanks, celebdraug! Feel free to join us if you like!!! :p :D ;)
*Waves hand* Hey Celeb! Pull up a boulder and join us, will yah?:D
We could do with a bit of fresh blood right now;)

Up the stairs they went, into a dark room
And behind them the door itself closed
Dragon felt that near was somebody's doom
As she saw another figure rose.
Another voice spoke - it was cold but calm
It said: "You are late but now we begin."
Dragon had a strong feeling of alarm
She tried to see more but the place was dim.

The cold voice was coming from a candle so small,
it's faint light glowing in the dark gloomy hall.
Amazed, the moved closer,
it seemed like a joke.
But sure enough they dicovered, 'twas the candle that spoke.
"Greetings, dear dragon." it flickered and veered.
"You came not too late, as I had feared.
There's no time to explain, I ask for your trust!
Go with the fire. Follow it, you must."
Just then the candle-light shrunk and quenched.
And suddenly the floor gave a horrible wrench.
The wall around them trembled, the whole castle shook.
They fell into darkness, which the silence then took.
Piercing was the darkness
That seemed to consume all.
Shattering was the silence
That made their own skin crawl.
“Dragon?” came the whimper,
Shaky with appeal.
“Yes?” came back the whisper,
That all could clearly hear.
“What has just befallen
Our fair and noble land?
Is this is end that’s spoken
Of by him who’s in command?”

"This is not the end
But the end is near,"
Said darkness around them
Then no more did they hear.
"Follow the fire," the candle had said
But there was no fire, all was black
Suddenly Dragon lifted her head
And forward stretched her neck.
"I see a light, it's weak but it's there,"
Said dragon and started to walk
"It could be dangerous, so be aware!"
She heard the maiden behind her talk.
********************************
Oh, I'm not so good with rhymes.
I like free verse much better, and
I usually write in that. But I guess
it would be weird if I started writing
non-rhymed in this poem... so yeah... :)

She heard the maiden behind her talk.
As Dragon went on, the light seemed to move
It was always ahead but out of their reach
The maiden understood its essence quite soon
And to Dragon she gave this speech:
"I think this is the light we must follow
That will guide us to the right place
This darkness is not at all so hollow
And many dangers again we may face."
Dragon nodded and on they went
After walking hours three or four
She looked beside her in amazement
The maiden was there no more.
I thought it's time to post once again the whole thing :p It's long...
A Poem About A Bar In A Cave
until someone suggests a better title
Once upon a time
In a land afar
There was a cavern wide
And in that cave a bar
Many flocked to drink
And laugh and socialize
But none would ever think
That in that bar there lies
a dragon that was so kind and fun
and a group to match her wit.
there was fun always, rain or sun
and all were glad the dragon fit.
Long they talked and laughed
and had a merry time
but soon the day had passed
when suddenly great slime
it came through the door, and over rocks,
it said hello and began to dance
it said i am oliver, yes i am, and i want to box,
so come on down if anyone thinks they have a chance!
People screamed and ran
but One boasted great pride
"Beat it, scum! and scram!
I will not run to hide!"
so up the dragon stood
uncurling all her length
because none other would
she unleashed her mighty strength
"Aha!" the slime yelled out
"You will not beat me yet!
For I will win this bout
And make you then my pet!"
out she let a spout of flame
it sizzled olivers' eyebrows
"never this dragon will you tame!"
and they began to....roughhouse
long they fought and battled
and as the moon did rise
oliver cried " lets stop this fiddle faddle"
i am burn and congealed! and he began to cry.
"So you admit defeat?
you foul and evil slime!"
oliver had been beat
so he slinked out of this rhyme
People peeped and peared
Then they drew on nigh
All came back and cheered
And the Dragon lifted high
Dragon very happy was too
and gave them all a free drink
that was so sweet and cool
and made their cheeks turn pink.
Dawn appeared at last
And all slunked back to bed
With weariness by cast
D laid down her head
But she couldn't sleep for long
Cause a maiden opened the door
She looked as she came from an ancient song
And long dark robes she wore.
"Gentle beast ye are,
Yet strong and mighty be,
I've travelled from afar,
To have a word with thee"
"A word? alas,
but I've fought a battle yet!"
but she sighed and took out a glass
she decided not to fret
"Come ye must with me,
I have for ye a task,
It is not quite easy
In danger it doth bask"
"I'd still like to rest
but with you will come I
for I wish you all the best.
I guess to leave it is time."
The maiden turned away
And left the stone cavern.
The dawn of a newborn day
Lit up the nearby fern.
They travelled months and weeks and days
Dragon flying high, maiden riding beneath her
Many times danger and worry came their way
And finally they could not go any further.
They took shelter in a forest
But they did not know
That there would be no time to rest
That they should up and go!
Deep in the forest, where nobody goes
There has been something hidden for long
What is it exactly, no one that knows
It isn't mentioned in any story or song.
It it was beastly, it was foul,
None who saw it lived.
With a horrid, chilling howl
Through the trees came swift
it ran on two legs,
haunched in the back
and covered in fur,
searching for a snack
as it approached with horns stout
it's fangs shining fierce
they looked for a way out
for those fangs were ready to pierce
It's eyes glowing red,
claws raking the ground,
the beast raised it's head,
and made a terrible sound.
For miles it spread fear,
echoing through the trees,
and all those who could hear,
swiftly turned to flee.
It lunged towards the twain,
but they were too quick,
for the monster in pain,
on a pebble did slip.
The poor beast was daft,
and in a prickle-bush did fall,
then the Dragon with a laugh,
roasted beast, bush and all.
"The job's far from done,"
The maiden did warn
"There will be more where that one came from."
Just as she had spoke
There was a deafening cry
From the trees there broke
The mother of the babe D fried
Fearsome, huge and vile
She sniffed at the carcass fried
Then glared at the two a while
As they ran to hide
They could ran but couldn't hide
And that they knew quite well
Soon she did them find
In her eyes burning flames from hell
"Quickly!" Yelled the maiden fare,
And ducked beneath a rock.
"We must destroy this creatures' hair
And send it into shock!
"For only thus could it be brought
Under our submission,
Then our road will be less frought
With dangers for this mission!"
They knew what had to be done
But it wasn't easy at all
The beast was sure it had won
And it seemed so strong and tall
But the maiden was brave
Dragon courageous
Their skills did them save
And helped them beat the dangers
In a blazing fury
D drew up and flew
Soon the beast was sorry
For it had turned to stew

And leaned against an oak.

That you would comprehend

exactly! if there's one place I would spend most of my time, it would be in a really big inn in a really big cave with a really big (no offense :D ) dragon and a bunch of other really wonderfully cool people, writing really great poetry!
(really :D who needs a life anyhow? we got every thing we need right here :] except chunky chocolate-chip cookies >.< we could really use some more of those...I think I ate all of them. sorry.)
Don't forget the milk;)
You know what, why don't we begin writing a story based on the content of our poem? We'll take it in short bits. e.g. someone takes the first verse and begins writing the first paragraph of the story. The someone else picks up where the other leaves off and does the second paragraph, and so on and so forth. Each person can write only one paragraph each time, and anyone can do it.

that's a great idea :] we could continue with the poem as well, since we don't really have an ending yet, and it would be a pity to abandon such a lovely piece of art :) Or do you mean we continue writing as a story? Either way sounds fine to me...
...hmm....er....I don't know... let's take a vote and see what turns up. But I like the latter idea. Continuing the poem would be more fun and less repetitive:p Didn't think of that one;)
reem
Hmm... what's wrong with continuing the poem the way we have done so far? Except the fact that lately I seem to be the only one doing that. Are you just tired of writing that poem? We could always continue it in free verse, drop the rhyme... I should have started it in free verse, but it just seemed to me that people expect a poem to have rhyme. :rolleyes:
About the story... I don't know... I guess we could continue the poem as a story (and when we grew tired of that, change it back to poetry). But then someone else should go first (or give me some ideas, I'm quite out of ideas). So, choosing between those two options, I'm in favour of the second one. ;) :) :p
No, I think that rhyming poetry sounds better, but I only suggested the story thing because it seemed that only the three of us were actually posting. I thought this might sort of interest fresh blood. Ah well. Whatever you guys decide;)
reem
There's nothing wrong with only three of us participating in the poem-writing. But I cannot write it alone. And I just thought that poem is better because it takes less time to add one verse or so, but then again it's sometimes hard to find a rhyme and you can't say all you wanted to say. So if anyone wants to continue it as a story, then they should do it. Otherwise we just discuss forever whether we want a story or a poem. If anyone wants to continue it as a poem, then please do that. I'm just out of ideas how to continue the storyline at the moment.
I haven't slept in......since 8 am yesterday....I can't think....will post later when brain activity returns.....

Dragon nodded and on they went

The maiden was there no more.
"Where are you?" Dragon cried
Her voice was eaten by darkness
The flames ahead had not died
But they lighted the place less and less.
*******************************
You can carry on as you like. But I have to tell that I won't be here much for the next month. Have to study for exams. :( :rolleyes: :p
Now that exams are over (Yay!!!) and I'm back here, I notice that no one has said anything for over a month already. Is it because you are all still very busy or just idealess? I suppose that if we don't have any ideas how to continue the poem, maybe we want to start re-writing it as a story then? And perhaps we should also change the title for it's not about a bar in a cave any more... or maybe that just makes it more interesting.
So, anyone out there? :rolleyes:
Erch:( I'm a bit of both, really. But probably more busy than idealess :rolleyes: You'd think now that I'm on my summer vacation I'd have more time on my hands!:(
Anyway, you can start something and I'll try my best to join in, ely:) Thou art not alone;)

(how about "The Neverending Poem" -.O eh, or not...) I still think we should continue this as a poem, we've come this far and it will work as long as we (especially myself) try... anyway:
Just as she thought her strength was drained,
the darkness around her waned,
revealing a hall that had no ceiling,
the loftiness gave her a sinking feeling.
Beneath her talons was ancient stone,
laid there by a people long gone,
Forming a ring, ten dragonwings wide,
the round walls smooth, rising high on all sides.
From above came soft sunlight,
so gazing upwards, she prepared for flight,
spread her wings, leapt off the ground,
climbed through the cold air of the shaft round.
After I was told to start the story, I did that, stared some moments at what I had written and then deleted it. :p So I'm very much for the idea of continuing the poem. :D But not at the moment, it's late and I'm tired... But I like what you wrote :)

why thankee :] (hope nobody minds me writing another paragraph..)
Heartbeat, wingbeat,
memories of dreams.
Sudden heat, cold creeping
into soul screaming.
Through darkness race,
quicken pace,
flee from the hungry eyes.
Free! flying high in open sky.
All fear breathed out in sigh.
"You passed the test" a voice whispered,
carried on the wind.
"your soul we pierced, your heart we heard,
the dark you braved and won."
"You passed the test" a voice whispered,
carried on the wind.
"your soul we pierced, your heart we heard,
the dark you braved and won."
The maiden was there, a smile on her face
Softly landed Dragon on green grass beside her
Warm sunshine from clear sky them did embrace
And for a moment they both enthralled were.
Then maiden sadly lowered her head
"This was only a test that you passed
The hardest part of our mission is still ahead
Our mission, it could be the last."
"Alone in the darkness I was
Not a soul around me to hear
All the terrors of worlds I flew past
And now our mission I don't fear."
This doesn't seem to go very well, hah... If we are in this so non-poetry mood then we could just drop the poem for a while. But just for a while. This poem is too beautiful and too long to be without an ending. We could just talk about something else for a while. So, what have you been up to this summer? :)
Oh, and anyone who comes across this thread, you are very welcomed to join and continue our little ( :p ) poem. Most of the poem is here (http://www.thetolkienforum.com/showpost.php?p=410821&postcount=274) but the last 10 stanzas are on this page. So read it and join in if you want. :D
But if you're also in a non-poetry mood then just come in and talk about whatever you want to talk about. :D :p ;)

Now that I've got a bit more free time on my hands, I'll try posting something to get it going again:)
reem
That's good news! :D
Ithilin has been also very nice and posted some bright new ideas... :p
And I hoped that posting our precious poem to "The Prancing Pony" will attract others to continue it, so that I could sit back for a while and just read it... :rolleyes: Oh, well... I guess I'll go on describing things and adding weird things to it, until I have some bright ideas myself.
:D :p ;)

This looks interesting. This is just general? I think I'll stay here.
Yay! We got some fresh blood! :p
Welcome, trolls' bane!!!
I hope you like it here! :)
And if you're fond of poetry then you're more than welcome to continue our poem HERE (http://www.thetolkienforum.com/showthread.php?t=16052). It would really need some new participants and new ideas. :D
But if you're not in the mood for poetry, just hang out here and talk about whatever you feel like. :)
Indeed:) Welcome to the Inn, TB:) How've you found the boards so far?

we should start talking..about something. Like how we don't talk anymore? or just continue the poem like before.
Can we ditch the rhyme in our poem? It's getting kind of hard for me to write something sensible, interesting and also rhyming. :rolleyes:
People! And all the other creatures! Get back here! Please... :)

Sorry..been busy with..stuff. Life can be so time-consuming >.<
Sooo, how's christmassyness with you guys, hm? Any special wishes? (I could really use a water canon...)
*Walks in from long bathroom break*
Water cannon, eh? That could be fun:) Personally I'd like a new guitar. ...prefferably an accoustic, coz mine is starting to look pretty beat up:p
*Looks around*
Hmm...You know what? I think we should put up some Christmas decoration to liven this place up a bit. Bring in a new band, have a little shindig, get things moving again. Could invite a few friends from around the boards. It would be fun:)
I don't know. It gets harder and harder to think out something I want for Christmas. I have everything I need: a warm nice home, loving parents, many siblings, relatively good health, my Tolkien books of course and some good friends. But I never reject any candles. Or books.
Ithilin

*cANDLES!!!* lovelyness =) Good thinking...perhaps we can post an invitation - to invite people over at a certain time and date. Maybe sing carols. Or make up our own! Or just talk...
But I never reject any candles. Or books.
Hear hear! But make those 'scented' candles and books:)
As to the festivities, when would you like to start?
I bought a lot of candles today. Now my Christmas presents shopping is done. ;) Oh, candles are the best, me thinks. They're nice and they're also practical, you can just look at them and then you can burn them and THEN look at them. Candle-light is so pretty. :p
Lol:p You just reminded me of when I first moved here (here being the U.A.E) and I gave a few of my friends scented candles for presents:p 'Bemused' is the word that I would use to describe their faces! heh! Aparently candles are considered as things you'd buy when shopping for toilet paper and light bulbs :rolleyes: No class I tell you, no class *shakes head*.
It snowed. :D I hate snow if I have to go out there because it makes roads so slippery and dangerous and it tooks me forever to get from one place to another alive and well; besides, it's also cold. But now that I'm on my holidays and don't have to go outside, it's a pretty sight. It's nice to have snow on Christmas, otherwise it's kind of sad and grey. :D :D :D
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
:D :) :D :) :D
*Applaud*
Nicely said:D
But I must beg to differ! Snow freezes your toes and fingers, gets in your boots and wets your socks, and burns your muscles with the effort of walking through it. But let us not forget: with snow comes ice...and slippery incidents...I know from experience, painful to both to my person and my pride *grimace*
Otherwise, 'tis pretty to look at if you're bundled at home and sipping hot cocoa:)
Hot cocoa rocks! :cool:
Another thing I remembered with all the talk about snow and cold, it might be quite amusing. Or maybe not. :rolleyes:
When it's cold here outside then the heat is turned up (we have central heating, so it's not turned up by us) and it's quite warm inside. But when it's not so cold outside, some five or ten degrees Celsius, the heat is turned down because it's warmer outside. And then comes the wind. If it blows from south, I can't sleep because my nose is freezing and the temperature of my room goes down to 16...17 degrees Celsius. I try to sleep under four blankets but it's still cold. :rolleyes: But if it were colder outside we would be warmer inside because that's how it's done. Kind of ironic.
Fortunately it's not like this now, but... Grrr! I hate this stupid cold country.
~*~*~*~*~
OK, back to happier things. :) What kind of candles do you like best?
Heh:p Trust me, I know what you mean! Which is why I'm very grateful that we moved to a warmer climate:)
Candles: Must be scented! Otherwise they're useless:) There's this one that I bought a few months ago that smells really good, I think it was Green Tea or something like that. I love the way the scent mingles with the burnt wax smell when you finally put it out.
I prefer my candles to be thin, because I hate it when you get a fat one and the wick only melts the middle part and then you end up with extra candle wax that you can't do anything with. But I've recently discovered how to make my own wicks and will be melting the candle leftovers (which are aplenty, stuffed in every nook and cranny in my desk drawers :p) and reuse them! Tada! Free candles!
What about you?
I like those that aren't scented, too. I love these semi-transparent gel ones a lot, they have little bubbles in them and are very cute. I once saw a candle painted as the Earth, I liked that a lot. Then I like candles with interesting shapes and colour patterns. I guess I like pretty much all candles. Except maybe those shape like some animal because it feels sad to burn them, but again, they're beautiful to look at. My Mom has this little farm-house that you can put a tea-candle into and then it looks so beautiful with light-filled windows. :)

You think it's sad to burn an animal, but burning the world is just fine and dandy? ^.^ Kidding. (Animals are much nicer than alot of people, anyway.)
Speaking of candles - you should see the beautiful "snow lights" around here at night! Little Igloo-type housies with candles inside =)

Well, it feels kind of less... sad. For some reason. :p Maybe you can take it as symbolizing a new beginning or such.
On the other hand, sometimes you do get so angry at the world... :rolleyes: :p ;)

It is! We also made an ice-castle, about knee-highth, and then put candles inside. Looks especially neat with little "glass" windows, made out of thin sheets of ice =)
That's sounds beautiful:D Any pictures?
Merry Christmas you two;)
Merry Christmas, reem and Ithilin, and everybody else who happens to come here! :) :D :) :D :)

I guess now it's time to get ready to wave the year bye-bye. I think it was a good year. For me, not for the world. But for me (selfish, aren't I? :p ) it was better than the last, that's for sure! :cool:
Anyway, I remember a joke about it. When asked on New Year's Eve about the ending year (how good was it), the answer was: "It was quite an average year - better than the last one, but worst than the coming." :p
But I hope the new year will be better. Mostly for me, of course. ;) (See how selfish I am? :p )
Nah, I hope it will be a good year for you, too. :D
Hey people! What have you been up lately? Any news? Any ideas? And if you happen to be in the creative mood, then we happen to have an unfinished poem here (http://www.thetolkienforum.com/showthread.php?t=16052). ;) :p :cool: :) :D

Hello......just decided to drop in and have a visit if you don't mind. I'm kinda in the process of finishing my homework, but I couldn't resist. Well, this is my first time dropping by here. I'm a hobbit, if you haven't figured that out yet.
Well, just came in to say hi, and to look around the place of course.
Smiles!:)
Hobbit-queen
Hello Hobbit-queen and welcome! Don't just visit, stay and have a drink and talk a little. Everybody seems so busy these days. But you have to relax once in a while. :)
Do you like writing poetry, Hobbit-queen? Just a question. You're not obliged to do anything. Just stay here and have fun. :)
Hobbit-queen
02-11-2005, 03:05 AM
Yes, I am a poet. My teachers treat my work like gold. They say it's pretty special stuff. I'm also an artist. I sketch LotR characters, and do a fantastic job if I say so myself. Well, it's pretty nice here. I might stay. What do you serve here? Well, if it is alright for me to ask....could I have a rootbeer float. We can talk about poetry in the mean time.
Wow! You're really talented then. :) I write for my own pleasure and I don't think I'm that good at it. Sometimes I really love my poems, and sometimes I don't like them that much.
Rootbeer float? Sure we have it. I think. *disappears for a moment but comes back soon and places the requested drink in front of Hobbit-queen.* Here you are! :)
Anyway, I wish I could draw, too.
We started this poem (http://www.thetolkienforum.com/showthread.php?t=16052) some time ago and now it's really long but not finished and we have run out of ideas. *sigh* If you are interested, you can take a look at it, maybe even add something.
My poems usually don't rhyme. I think that rhyme has to come naturally and if you need to work really hard on it then better leave it out. I consider it more important how the poem sounds. :) And how it makes you feel.
Hobbit-queen
02-12-2005, 03:46 AM
Well, I added a bit to that poem.....it's kind of dismal but it works. Did it in about ten minutes. I really like it, it's pretty cool. I'll probably add on to it every once in a while when I have time. Gotta go!

Dark Lord Sauron Owner of the Christian cup? I never thought I'd hear something like this. :p But, as they say, the world is full of surprises. *smiles*
Non-alcholic wine? Sure we have it. We have everything. It's a large cave, you see. ;)
Now, would you like red or white? Or perhaps blue? I think it's not poisonous.*laughs*
Hobbit-queen
02-18-2005, 02:40 AM
I think.....the man would have the red wine. I know him well enough. Me and the Dark Lord.......well, we are partners in crime......we can see eachother's thoughts....read eachother's minds....:cool:
Okay, I'm crazy!:rolleyes: We are accustomed to eachother's strange ways, even though he will not admit it. Mmwha,ha,haaa,heh,heh,heh,haaaaaaaa! :D I followed the Dark Lord here on my trusty black pony. The black riders wouldn't take him.....I wonder why....? Nice place, I've been here before. I'm a drifter....yeah. Who is that.....in the corner? :confused: Please don't tell me "Strider" because this isn't Bree, and we aren't in the Prancing Pony. Curious....very curious..... That tattoo is unlike any I've ever seen. Hmmm...
No need to get suspicious. Just rest and relax. And even if there is something more to that *thoughtful pause* then we'll deal with it when time comes. And no, she is not Strider. Not that Strider anyway.
Red wine it is. Non-alcoholic, I remember. *Brings Dark Lord Sauron a glass of red wine.* If you don't like it, don't blame me.
*Goes back to Hobbit-queen* Read each other's minds, heh? Glad you don't read mine. *Shivers.* Would you like anything yourself?
Hobbit-queen
02-21-2005, 03:28 AM
Hmmm....lets see, what would a mind-reading hobbit want? Ah! I'll have a glass of your finest ginger ale and a lovely seed cake, if it isn't too much trouble of course.;) I'm a drifter around here..... I walk alone. Hmmm...that reminds me of a song. I will not sing, for I have not the gift. I'd as Pippin to sing Boulevard of Broken Dreams but he is busy serving the Gondorian Army! He's really got a voice. Wonder if he's ever sang a Greenday song? Ah well. :D
Lord Sauron
02-21-2005, 04:44 AM
Well she was right about the read wine. But i she cann't read my mknd all the time
That's the best way, isn't it? Sometimes you really need someone who can understand you and know what you're thinking, but some thoughts are better kept secret. ;)
*Brings Hobbit-queen a big glass of ginger ale and a seed cake.* Bon appetit!
A lonely drifter, eh? Who walks alone but follows Dark Lord Sauron. :)
Hobbit-queen
02-22-2005, 01:45 AM
The Dark Lord could always use a little service (which includes advice, death threats, and plenty of dicipline....heh..). I walk alone.....but it always helps to have a little company.:D
You're probably right. Death threats? Do you mean you threathen him with death or you threathen others with death instead of him?
Discipline... hmm... you're the person, I suppose, who tells him that he's doing something really stupid when he's doing something really stupid? It's always good to have someone like that around. :p
Hobbit-queen
02-23-2005, 02:19 AM
The Dark Lord doesn't always make the correct decisions. There are still flaws in his mighty plan to rule Middle Earth. He still thinks he can get Frodo and the Ring....I've told him that hobbits are tricky little critters, you can never know what one will do next. :)
Yes, you would know it since you're a hobbit yourself. I don't think the Ring was ever such a good idea - it's small and easily lost. Anyway, does the Dark Lord listen to you when you point out his mistakes?
Hobbit-queen
02-25-2005, 03:02 AM
Not at first....he gets a little defensive of his plans. Then I explain what he is doing wrong and what he can do better. He listens but I don't think he wholy believes me. Lord Sauron is a really cool guy. I think he knows what he's talking about.....but he could always use a little push every now and then. Well, could I have a tall glass of milk and some cookies? I would really appreciate it. Oh my! My song's on! Gotta go!

Ah, hullo there, Madam Hobbit. There appears to be some sort of vortex spewing frost from the ice-giant lairs of the north into this dwelling; otherwise I would judge it a well place indeed to spend time. Is the barkeep here actually a dragon?
*comes to Hammersmith and Hobbit-queen*
Oh yes, she is a dragon. But she isn't here right now and I'm taking care of this place until she returns.
*Brings Hobbit-queen a glass of ice-cold cave water*
Here you go, we have plenty of it in case you want some more. :)

Good grief...well, we all have to be proud of our ancestry. I'll have a beer if that's alright. My currency is good and the hobbit here will doubtless affirm that I am no rabble rouser.
(Weakly) A dragon...oh dear...
Hobbit-queen
03-06-2005, 03:25 AM
Dragons.....curious creatures. I've heard stories. Bilbo told of a dragon and a mountain of gold found at the heart of the Lonely Mountain. I thought the old man was bluffing at first. Then with all the strange things happening around Hobbiton, I began to realize even the most insane ideas could be possible. I've never met a dragon, but without a doubt I would love to meet one!
This cave water is superb! I feel like more cave food. Hmmmm....what is there to eat in a cave......MUSHROOMS! If it is possible, could I have a plate of mushrooms and a few fried bat's wings please? I've never tasted bat and am quite curious of what one would taste like.
Hammersmith
03-06-2005, 06:15 AM
Stories? Oh, no, dragons are real enough. In fact in the bad old days they were some of the most auspicious foes and brought in great prestige for successful adventurers. Er...is it true that dragons have long memories? :(

Soz but i couldn't help overhear your convesation, i was intrigued, I know quite a lot about Dragons, and yes it is true that dragons have long memories, your common garden variety has a memory of over 300 years. (not saying that dragons are common or anything like that!)

Hobbit-queen
03-07-2005, 01:58 AM
Yeah, you're right. Had a bit of memory loss there for a minute. Don't really know what I was thinkin'. I had a long day and probably wasn't thinking clearly. It could've been that devil of an air conditioner blocking my brain waves.....dunno what got into me.... Well, I'm pretty hungry.....and still waiting for my hot, fresh bat wings.
*begins to whistle impatiently and stares at the stalagtites hanging on the bat covered celing* *drool....*
*wakes from her thoughs*
Oh my! I'm so sorry. I just let my mind wander for a moment, and then... I'm really sorry! You'll get your mushrooms and bat wings in a second.
*rushes out*
*moments pass*
*rushes in*
I guess it took a little more than one second. Here's your mushrooms and bat wings. They're fresh, don't you worry. And eat as much as you want!
And don't blame the air conditioning for everything. You don't know what it would be in this cave without it. Neither do I because it's kind of stuck here :p
Dragons... yes, I suppose that some of them were a pain in the neck, but others were really nice. Like the dragon who's inn it is. She was really sweet. Took good care of her customers. And everybody behaved because if they didn't... well, you don't want to anger a dragon, do you? Even if she's really nice. Even nice people get angry sometimes, but dragon's anger... can be a little bigger. But that didn't happen much. She was in good mood most of the time.

MMmmmmmmmmm....thats good. Food....a hobbit's best friend. Well, thank you good friend. This is wonderful.
Its good to know that this dragon doesn't get mad that often. I've never actually met one in person, but this one sounds nice.
Hammersmith
03-09-2005, 05:47 AM
N...no, I suppose if dragons have such long memories, I had better have never met a dragon either. Still, this is a most agreeable place. I shall have to come again. I have business in the neighbourhood that will take me to Lord Sauron's tavern, but I shall return.
Good bye, my friend. May thy paths be green and the breeze on thy back and may it be that thou will find thy way back here one fine day. :)

Yes, thank you. So, tell me of this place. Why would a *checks behind him, lowers voice* dragon open an inn in a cave?
Well, a house would be too small for her! *laughs*
I suppose she lived in this cave but got a little lonely. So she decided to have a inn, so people would come and visit it and then she wouldn't be alone.
You can get pretty lonely when people fear you... that's sad actually... not all dragons are bad but people tend to be afraid of all of them... it's hard to find friends in such situation.

Fantabulous! The bat wings are exquisite....as everything is here!:cool: Hmm....wish I could help you out bro, but hobbits don't get out much. We enjoy staying home and tending to our garden. Maybe Hammersmith could tell ya, he seems like the traveling type.

*Perks up after chasing the bat wings suspiciously around the plate*
Dol Amroth? Hm...I have never travelled there myself, but my companion on the last road claimed to have lived there. I did not believe him; he proved untrustworthy in more ways than one. He will not tell you his tales, but before he died he did swear by the gods that it lay south of here. Dangerous lands down south, and I can testify to that. Used to be dragon territory. I slew my first serp....but that's not important. If I were you I'd find company if you are set on travelling that way.
Still...all I can tell you for sure is that it isn't east. Oh, no indeed. Not east. And if it's a civilised sort of place (and I've heard tell it is) then it won't be north. Sorry I couldn't be more help, friend.
Oh, and...Ely, was your name? My thanks for the - uh - wings. Could I impose on the hospitality here for another beer?
Of course. :)
*Brings Hammersmith a beer*
You seem to have travelled a lot. Then you must have some interesting stories of your adventures to share with us. I'd love to hear one. Or two. Or three. Or ten. Or more. :p

*e.Blackstar wakes up from where she's been sleeping in the corner* (ooc:heh, I forgot for the last 25 pages that I'd posted in here. :o )
'Nother root beer, please. And some toast, if you will.
Right away!
*brings her root beer and toast*
So, what did you dream about? ;)

"This really weird little hairy person who had magic gold ring."
Hmm, that does sound strange. But that's the thing about dreams, they are unreal. :p
*looks around*
Is everybody comfortable? Anyone want anything?

Oh, Oh! Me!
Hmmmm.....do you have some mushrooms? I'm pretty hungry. Mushrooms..... they remind me of the cool spring mornings that I spent in the Shire, searching for the delicious treats growing near old logs and decaying leaves. I haven't been back to the Shire for some time now. I'm a bit curious and like to venture off from the well trodden paths.......it must be the Took in me. :p

Hi Gilthoniel!
So, Hammersmith, when's that tale a'comin'?

Scawgruntahemwhat?
So sorry, must have nodded off. Well, I could tell you the terrible and violent history of the troublesome imps who persisted on waking up the weary traveller in the Dragon Inn, but I'm sure you know how that one turns out :D
If there's to be a tale, then new drinks, all round!
This is a true tale, and one that befell me - oh, several years ago now, it must be. I was on the road to the old and cruel kingdom in the land of Cee, following the Spice Road east. Not two crusts did I have to rub together, but you didn't ask for a tale about an old wayfarer's misfortunes, did you? Or perhaps you did.
Anyhow, it is of little import, but it was on this road that I met my faithless companion, aye, him as I told you of. He told me that he had been a slave, a story that his clipped ear upheld. Before that he was a hunter, or so he said, and I offered him what he could offer me; companionship on the road. We hunted together awhiles, moving too slow for the merchants that we followed.
Out that way the towns and villages are scarce. The game is scrawny and lean, and missing an inn by the darkness may be the difference between life and death. Mind, the people can be none too friendly. My companion told me that they were of the Easterling descent...Tarhtarra he named them. When we came upon a village I would tell tales and sing for them, my companion would aid them about their tasks, be it herding their starving cattle or hauling dry and splitting timber to build up their shameless hovels.
Where was I? Yes, that's right. Like I said, Easterlings these Tarhtarra were, though pleasant and honest, hardworking folk. It was in a small village - maybe forty feet from end to end, skins draped over stick frames circled by a hedge of dead thorn trees to keep away the wolves and bandits - that we came upon our great adventure that you youngsters clamour to hear, calling me away from my sleep and beer.
We arrived with a team of hunters that we had met on the road. In their halting tongue, horribly mangled and accented, they told us not to travel on to the next village. Too far, they said. The wolves would have our bones, they said. Well, we were just pleased to have an invitation from them, though looking back I wish we would have pressed on. Maybe we would have perished, maybe not. Maybe it would have been better. I sang them a song that night, not my own. A story of Ancient Troas, if my memory serves me correctly. They were polite, and they fed us the best of their sparse larder. I helped them about their hunt the following two or three days, I and my companion. The game was poor, and I doubt if we helped enough to balance our stay.
Nonetheless, they would not hear of us leaving. Not until the Solstice, for we were then but a few nights from Midwinter's Eve. Daring no slight upon their hospitality, we agreed. On the Solstice night, we followed them up from the village with the menfolk and the boys that had seen their tenth summer. A motley array it must have seemed, but they marched with the utmost solemnity, to a cave in the hillside, wherein they lit fires and stood with their backs to the inner chambers. We shivered and offered each other glances - it was colder in the east than here - and they did not shift until the moon had set. At that time, the sky which had been overcast parted, and the stars shone through upon the sun browned, thick veined skin of those strange sad people. They cried and raised their hands, and the cry was echoed from the distant village where their women waited.
My companion was unimpressed, but then I pointed and he saw what had frozen me in awe and fear. Across the vale we could see a grey column of men, six thousands at least. Their helms were crested and they seemed to be arrayed like the Romulean hordes that our grandfathers sing about. As they steadily tramped east, a horseman rode up. Both I and my companion made the sign against evil behind our backs, but he showed us little interest. Instead he planted his spear firmly by the village chieftain's side and fled on the tail of the ghastly army. It was a fiercly ornamented weapon, with a pommel designed not unlike a wingless bird, though so corroded with age and use as to prove almost unrecognisable.
What? No, you may laugh. It was an awe inspiring night, though we scarce though it such as we rubbed stiffness from our legs and trudged grumpily in the footsteps of the village's suddenly aloof and unfriendly people. We left the next day, on Midwinter, and never again have I desired the east. Oh, we saw Cee, and it was marvellous. But on returning I made sure to seek out an easier route in the south. Someday I may tell you of it, but now my throat is dry and my tongue is sore from appeasing you tale hungry young ruffians. Another beer would soothe it wonderfully.
*brings everybody their drinks*
That was a story indeed and worth risking with your grumpiness for being woke up. :p But here's your beer, traveller. Perhaps some day we will hear another story from you.
Yes, it's nice to hear such stories in the warm and cozy inn but to be there when they take place is something completely else.

Oh yes. The troublesome imps cleaned the weary traveller's clock (since he is, after all, weary) and bought a round of drinks for all the other customers after the traveller was dragged off to his room bleeding and in pain. ;)

Fine, fine. What think you of this marvelous establishment?
Nice to hear that! :)
You mean this inn? Since I am pretty much running it these days, my opinion could be just a little biased. ;) But I think you agree it's a nice place to relax, have a drink and chat a little. :p :) ;)
