View Full Version : RP 33: The Return of Smaug
This is my first RPG, so go easy...(it's based off the hobbit, so not much lord of the rings stuff)
Bilbo gazed across the small town of Hobbiton. It had been 2 years since he had come home from his adventure with the Dwarves, and he longed to go on another one. He had made up his mind. He would leave again tomorrow morning, for something important was brewing in the west. With the help of Gandalf, he would travel to places that were unknown to him. In the morning, four dwarves arrived at Bilbo's house on Bag End.
'At your service, Master Bilbo!' the first two dwarves cried as they came through the door rudely. Their names were Glin and Dwoin
Two more dwarves, Thédic and Gìdyon came strolling in. Gandalf was last, and he came in fashionfully with his staff. He then explained that this was to be with a little group in which would be called 'The Voice of Mithrandir'. Bilbo did not know who or what Mithrandir was, but he went along with the plan. So the Dwarves stayed with Bilbo for a fortnight, then the company started off along the road.
But Bilbo had brought something that no one know about--The One Ring.

As they walked down the path, suddenly Courtney, a tall hobbit with a bag full of waffles, stands in front of them. "Who are you?" they ask warily.
"oh, no one important," she says. "I was just wondering if I could come with you on your journey?"

Another young hobbit woman pokes her head through the doorway. "Going on an adventure Courtney? Fine, but the waffles STAY!"
She looks around and realizes that Bilbo has company so she tips her feathered beret and bows politely.
"Friends of yours, Mr. Baggins? Pleased to meet all of you. Excuse my barging in, but we have a waffle thief in our midst. I am Eika. That'll be Miss Eika if you want to be gentlemen."

"I am not a waffle theif!" Courtney exclaims. "They are my waffles. I always make a bunch of waffles before setting off on an adventure! You can have some if you want. Or you can come with us on our journey and have some every day for breakfast!"

Kit comes in, and stares at Bilbo in surprise, not expecting to see his cousin, or the dwarves.
"Bilbo!" he exclaims. "It's good to see you!" he pauses. "Are we going on an adventure?" Kit asks hopefully.
Bilbo readies the supplies and sets off with the dwarves and the newfound members. After traveling about a league, they settle down. But Bilbo notices something different about the atmosphere. It seemed...almost...magical! But alas, he fell into an uneasy sleep beside Kit and Gandalf.
He was roused by Gandalf. Gandalf appeared to be in a great hurry, and a look of anxiety was upon his face. "Get up, get up Bilbo! A mountain troll is amoung us! Let us take our leave!" But right as the last words out of his mouth were being spoken, a loud rumbling could be heard behind them.
Keep it going! :D

Courtney quickly stands up with her sword ready. She notices that the writing on her arm is still a dull color. She breathes a sigh of relief.
Just then, they hear the sound of the troll off to their left. "I thought the trolls were right behind us..." Courtney whispers.
Four huge trolls step into the clearing at the same time. "Oh no! We are surrounded!" Courtney shouts. They each turn to face a different troll, all the while knowing that fighting is hopeless.

Just then a tall, dark haired man named Mormegil steps out from the trees behind on of the trolls. He carries a black sword with him, which he plunges into the head of the nearest troll.
The Troll falls to the floor dead, and fighting breaks out
Courtney is acidentally wounded in the crossfire, but, she gets up and begins to fight again. After around ~20 minutes of fighting, two trolls lay dead on the floor, a third wounded, and the fourth escaped. The wounded troll crawled away in agony, but that wasn't the last the company would see of him. Mormegil introduces himself to the company with a slight bow, and they let him join.
"Oh my! This company is growing bigger by the minute!" Bilbo states, but no one seems to notice him. They set off again, and after traveling around a 2 leagues decide to take a break. A sudden screech in the sky seems to blacken it around them. It was the cry of the Nazgûl approaching. "Hurry" Gandalf cries "We must get under cover!" The company, slightly confused, hurries after him wondering where Gandalf is leading them.

"What's happening?" Kit yells. "What are those things?"
Mormegil

Mormegil, who has dealt with Nazgul in the past, tells kit to be quiet and follow Gandalf towards cover.
"It is unwise to draw attention to yourself in the prescence of a Nazgul", he whispers.
The group follow Gandalf to a sheltered spot in a river valley surrounded by trees. The Nazgul seems to have gone.
Mormegil asks the group about their adventure so far, and tells them that he would like to accompany them. "There is safety in numbers in these dark times", he says.

Nearby the company, a bush rustles. Eve emerges from the bush to see all of them with their swords drawn. Holding up her hands as a sign of peace she says: "I am sorry if I have caused trouble, but I was wandering through the woods when I saw the dead trolls. I heard my friend, Mormegil's, voice and I recogized the trolls as his work." Lowering her hands she walks over to Kit and Mormegil. "My friends as you know the Nazgul are out, but did you know that there is a band of trolls ahead of us? Before I met up with you, I decided to do a little scouting and I saw them. There are at least five, maybe more if they meet up with others."
It seemed that the company would never stop growing. To the Company's amazement, an Ent popped out from behind a nearby tree. "What's that?" Bilbo inquired. Mormegil replied,
"'Tis an Ent. We don't see these often, for they are some of the oldest creatures of Middle-Earth" The Ent came to them and introduced himself.
"Orcs are coming" he growled, "And Trolls too. There is no way to fight them all, but we might have to if they come too near. Let us go". So, with that, they set off to the North.
AND no, this Ent is NOT me. :D (Like my map?)

It's beautiful!!! Eve draws Vulcan from its scabbard (is that the word?) and is prepared for any orc that may come.
They travel on for about a fortnight. The Ent (whose name is Snowborn) tells them of a place where they can meet men of Gondor that might be able to help them against the orcs they know are coming. After about 5 days, they come upon a small colony of men, who agree to help them fight against the orcs. A few nights later, after living in the colony for a little while, they hear the murmur of voices in the distance and the rumbling of footsteps.
Orcs flood them. Being badly outnumbered, and flanked, the Company retreats to the protection of the hills, where they have a small army of Men (from Gondor) waiting to attack the oncoming orcs. Little does the army know that the orcs are much more than they think...
Oh...my map is messed up... :mad:

"The hunt is on! Elbereth Gilthoniel!" Cries a clear Elven-voice. A arrow shoots into the clearing, followed by a grey-clad Elven-Lady with a red star they later recognized as a bow. "Yrch! Elbereth!"

"Hello there!!!" cries Eve. "And how are you?"
Tarien

"As well as ever. It's not like my age is slowing me down." she replies. "Okay, someone laugh, that was my attempt at humor."
Arrows fly by. The Company dives into the undergrowth. "We must avoid the Orcs for now!" Gandalf cries. So they stay hidden in the undergrowth for some time, and finally the arrows stop coming. They stand up, and encounter a few left over orcs. After easily desposing of the orcs, the Company starts to leave. "Wait!" cries Tarien, "Can I come with you?" The company gladly agrees and are on their way. After a while they stop at a random inn called 'The Hideaway'. They take their seats and order a drink. "Wait," Gandalf says, "I need to explain this ordeal to you". Well, that's all so far! Continue to role play!

Eve, as usual, has ordered a pint:D. She takes a sip and waits for Gandalf to continue.
Tarien

Tarien politely avoids drinking anything but the occasional sip from a water-filled flask. "So, what is this merry little venture all about. I count at 3 hobbits, if no others are hiding, and that in of itself is unusual, not to mention the rest of this company."
