RP 35 & 35A: Discussion

[Snaga]

You can post any discussion about 35 and 35A here, rather than clutter the RPG with ooc stuff!

A good example is Yaygollum's admiration of the Gollum statue at the Crossroads in Ithilien. :rolleyes: Glad you liked it though Yay :)Originally posted by YayGollum
Sorry for messing up the great story you've got going here, but I just had to thank snaga1 for making a statue of Gollum! Would have never happened if not for you! Yay Snaga! I'm sure you're too busy with this great story to bother with the Gollum Fan Club, though. Just had to say thanks!

Just so y'all know Elessar has posted into 'Hope?' Hi, Elessar! Welcome to the RPG!:D I had to swiftly edit the thread to cram a few hundred miles of travel in.:cool: Just so you don't get confused, we're now just entering Rohan! And the horses must be totally knackered!

Don't be shy of doing whatever you like with the plot BTW - I won't mind some help with narrating!!!!

Anyway I hope you like it so far!

[¤-Elessar-¤]

yes, I have joined. I would like you all not to just burst out and attack me, if it isn't too much trouble. Just feed me some b-s and i'll join you.

[YayGollum]

Yay! Not cluttering up his RPG's! I have to say, YAAAAAAAAAY! again! What a great idea! A statue all for Gollum because he's the hero!

[Mormegil]

Elessar, are you joining as 'Elessar', or as a different character?

[YayGollum]

I also have a question for this Elessar person! Dude, you said you looked suspicious! Okay? Leave me alone! I also said that I whispered, so pretend to not hear! Sheesh!

[Azog]

Sorry about the gollum statue (RPG#30)

[Snaga]

Azog I'm more bothered by your post of the 35A thread. It would be good if you could delete it!

[Snaga]

Oh also....

I've PM'ed Mithers to ask him to post himself in a bit more 'artfully' than that strange sudden appearence. Assume he's not there until he enters with a bit more... erm... grace.:)

[¤-Elessar-¤]

sorry, yes I am joining as Elessar, and that part about elvishness, it is the amazing elven hearing, you see.

[Azog]

Sorry snaga

[Azog]

Some one should still destroy that statue

[Kit Baggins]

Watch out Azog. You don't want to anger the Great and Almighty YayGollum :p .

~kit :p

[YayGollum]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No one will destroy the Gollum statue! I don't think I can really get the good guys in the Hope place to help me out with that! Argh! We're heading there in the Gollum RPG though. Doesn't matter. oh well. Argh! Evil elf ears!

[Khamul]

Haha, someone destroyed the Gollum statue..:p

[Azog]

in rpg 30:


My Precious did the worst job on that gollum statue. I had to laugh.

[Snaga]

I've just posted a profile for Lark in the profiles thread. It will hopefully stop everyone assuming she about 16!:rolleyes: She's in her forties, Elessar!!:D

[Khamul]

Good job Azog, the statue, even made by snaga, is still a portrait of the ME politician Mr./Mrs.? Gollum.

[YayGollum]

What are you talking about Mr./Mrs. Gollum? Poor Smeagol. Nice statue. I guess this thread could be for talking about any RPG since we're messing it up with Gollum's RPG.

[Snaga]

"My dear, The site of the burial place of Turin Turambar and Morwen, his mother, escaped the drowning of Beleriand. It stands now as an island, named Tol-Morwen, in the seas off of the coast of Middle Earth."

Probably the moorlands of the Wold wouldn't suit as a place to discuss this. Is this from another RPG? A most unlikely story! :rolleyes: Makes no difference though! :D:D

[YayGollum]

Ummmmmm......Snaga, I think the evil Mormegil is telling the truth this time. I think it's in the Sil somewhere, but I haven't memorized that yet.

[Mormegil]

Not an unlikely story. From Prof. Tolkien's own pen....

"as after indeed befell, and still Tol Morwen stands alone in the water beyond the new coasts that were made in the days of the wrath of the Valar" (The Silmarillion, Of The Ruin Of Doriath)

" Tol Morwen- Island in the sea after the drowning of Beleriand, on which stood the memorial stone of Turin, Nienor and Morwen." (The Silmarillion, Index)

[¤-Elessar-¤]

yes, many small islands withstood the drowning of Beleriand, I visited them after the downfall of Arandor.

[Snaga]

I only said unlikely, not untrue... * beats hasty retreat while covering tracks as well as possible *

So you've been dishonouring the grave of your ancestors Elessar? You get creepier and creepier!:D

[¤-Elessar-¤]

not dishonoring it! I have more honor for it than any! It was the Necromancer, he dug up the grave to retreive the sword, I found it in a mess and replaced it.

[Snaga]

Only playin'! OK just so I understand this... has Lorien got the sword, or did you put it back?

[¤-Elessar-¤]

yes, Lorien is a actual character in the forum. He isn't participating in the rp35, but he laid claim to the sword officially, it is in his RP profile. He lives in Angmar as a necromancer under Naz and a governor of Arnor.

[Snaga]

As this is all ooc stuff can I just say I know Snaga has had you arrested in one thread, and Lark has stormed off after falling out with you, but... nothing personal OK?!:D

[¤-Elessar-¤]

let me just warn you of something, if you want to keep in your lords good graces I would ask him before aresting one of his best allies. I knew and was invited to the senate long before anyone (save telchar), and Dengen wasn't exactly pleased with your treatment of myself. I was talking to him on AIM and had to insist that I didn't mind the treatment...

[Snaga]

Indeed? All the guards did was to politely request that you confirm your accreditation. I don't know why you saw fit to behave like that if all was well.

[¤-Elessar-¤]

because the guards removed me from the room, before I could. And, I am sorry if this sounds too proud, no one, and no one mind you, puts the Heir of Aragorn into the streets.

[Snaga]

If you re-read it you will see you are quite mistaken.

[Snaga]

Sting

I just moved things on in 'Despair' cos I was worried that it was slipping behind 'Hope' as far as time-line is concerned. Its now more or less caught it up which is good.:)

But reading your last post, you might have been building up to something?? Let me know if you want me to edit Gihnarl back in.;)

******

BTW can I just take this chance to fish for some general comments. How does everyone think its going? (Both threads) :)

[Snaga]

Quick editorial note on 'Hope?'.

I've assumed that Valar rode south into Rohan to try to get permission for the group to enter, and met King Eomer there. Therefore King Eomer's comments are just to Valar, and then Valar returns to pass this message to the group.

Hopefully that ties it all up OK!:)

BTW Thanks for your Royal contribution King E!:)

[Khamul]

Um.....Well.....dont worry about it. I will just go on with what you said. We are pretty far behind arent we?

[Valar]

I think this is going well, i get to post good quallity parts, instead of the usual, *Valar carrys on* or something!
The naratoring is REALLY good it keeps the story going and adds good depth,well done.
PS, vote me in the supporting role, i've been trying hard in a lot of rps

[chrysophalax]

A dwarf fighting a troll in "HOPE". This was in daylight I presume
if so, uummm, wouldn't he be stone?? A la The Hobbit?

[¤-Elessar-¤]

was it in the day? I didn't think it was... plus, were there not trolls at the last battle of the war of the ring? And that happened in the day.

[YayGollum]

But it was super dark there, wasn't it? Well, looks like you found a way to participate in 35 finally. :rolleyes: Some crazy dwarf.

[Snaga]

Definitely a night battle - everyone asleep, waking up, arrows, Valars running through the woods in the dark, trolls lovin' it! Until Eve bag him!

[chrysophalax]

Snaga, since your your PM box is full......didn't mean to throw you
for a loop,just needed sustenance after that long a journey, OK?;)

[Snaga]

No worries...

Whoops! Sorry to everyone who had a PM bounced back! I've deleted a load now so it should be OK!

[Snaga]

Afterglow... you got one Joseph Conrad reference. Have you got the other one yet??!:)

[YayGollum]

Hope I'm not the only one here who thinks it's interesting to not always have the good guys agree on everything. Gots to have some variety, right?

[EverEve]

Right Yay!!!

Wait, Snaga, what did I do?

....valar running in the dark, trolls lovin it! until Eve bag him!!!

You would think I'd know, but apperently thats not the case:p

[Snaga]

You're right Eve, it was Morm that bagged the troll, with lightning attack! But you softened him up!!!:D

BTW...Yay I agree it is interesting! I genuinely don't know what Lark is going to do or say next. This is a tough decision for her. She thinks you are all making a bad call, but she doesn't want to leave you... What will she decide?? It will come to me soon!

[Mormegil]

I think me and Eve can claim a duel kill on that Troll. Great teamwork.

[EverEve]

*high fives Morm* We are the Teamo Supremo;) But, if ya didnt help me out there Morm, there would be no more Eve, and everybody would be sad:( right? Er, RIGHT?!:p

[YayGollum]

Argh! Evil Elessar! Argh! Evil unanimous vote! Argh! I wish I had been here for the fight! About the bad guy 35, hey! I just noticed! Thank you Sting for mentioning Gollum! Something like a simple hobbit destroyed Sauron's empire or something like that. Yay Gollum!

[Valar]

Snagna, can you decide what to do next, because you are the only one who knows whats really going on, just decide for us!

[YayGollum]

Hey! Everybody! Your little profile thingys in the RP profile thread aren't good enough! I want to be able to draw all of us when I'm bored in Chemistry! I only know how to draw me and my mom! Argh!

[YayGollum]

Augh! Scary dragon! Augh! It's my mom! Augh! I have no magic! Augh! Won't be much help!

[chrysophalax]

WHOA, Valar! You are vicious! Nice to know I have that effect!

[Snaga]

IMO Valar is cross 'cos I dissed his horse!

[Valar]

Na not at all!!
Any way this RP is GREAT snaga, i mean really good. And its basiclly because of you narrating, i like it when you add in my parts and when i do it myself. So cool.
Well done, keep up the good work:D

[Snaga]

Thanks Valar! *Walks tall*

Your bits are good too!

BTW Where's Kit?

[Mormegil]

Kit's not online at the moment. She did start a thread telling everyone and asking them to continue her parts in the RPG's.

[Snaga]

Ermmmm... * shuffles awkwardly *

Lets check I got this right. Kit ooc is a she, but Kit ic is a he, right?

I hope that's right since I might have to do some editting of posts otherwise! Plus the oscar judges might need to be alerted!:D

This is the sort of thing that causes BIG problems! People get cross about this sort of thing!

Please be right! Please be right! Please be right!

[Mormegil]

I'm 99% sure that Kit in real life is a girl. But in the RPG's, her character is a guy.

[Snaga]

Phew! That's a relief! :D

[Valar]

Is there going to be a great battle at the VERY end of this Rp when both sides come together? I would really like to take on sting or snaga!

[Snaga]

That would be telling!:D:D:D

[EverEve]

awww, come on! at least give us a hint!:D :p

[Snaga]

The whole RP's littered with hints all over the place! You just have to look for them!

BTW Elessar that was a nice move to break out of jail. How did you do that? I thought you were a silver wizard, and might do something clever to the conveniently metal chair you were sitting in!

[Khamul]

I know something that will happen.......

But Drygo is silent....

[chrysophalax]

Just tell me I get to eat somebody!!:D

[¤-Elessar-¤]

No, I was expelled from the silver wizards, and you know more of that power than anyone else, so dont ask again please.

[YayGollum]

Woah! Cool! Who's this King Beorn dude? Is that the name of some king of Minas Tirith, because that would be weird. Would people call my dad Beorn a king? Would he be in charge of Isengard? Didn't think so. Just a huge coincidence that these two people have the same name?

[Valar]

chrysophalax, i just want to let you know that i will get my rengance for you murdering the fair horses of Rohan.

[chrysophalax]

Chrysophalax is far too even tempered for the actions of which you speak Human. It is Magnus with whom you have your quarrel and who shall also be the engine of your destruction should you continue in
this vein. Not your wisest course of action....

[Valar]

Then Magnus, dragons are all powerful and to an intelligent mind just as easilly defeated as an orc

[chrysophalax]

Indeed? Then I take it you speak not from personal experience but
from base theory, for perception and reality can be QUITE different
things!

[Khamul]

Beorn is Mike B's new name.....

[YayGollum]

I know Beorn is Mike B's new name! But that's not what I'm talking about! I'm talking about in Hope! What, you never look in to see what the good guys are doing?

[Khamul]

Not really.....

[YayGollum]

evil Mandark laugh--->Ahaha! Ahahahaha! Your overconfidence is your weakness! I heard that somewhere.

[Khamul]

Evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.

Guess where I got this from....:D

[¤-Elessar-¤]

Hey, in hope I kindof specified which kind of castle we were dealing with. It is through a passage in a mountain, this passage comes to the top of the otherwise unscalable mountain and there resides the infamous black tower. If this is a problem tell me and I will delete it.

[chrysophalax]

Houston, we have a problem.....Snaga has been banned from the forum!

[Khamul]

He happened to use the same computer as Harad, or something of the sort.....And they considered it another one of Harad's accounts....

[chrysophalax]

Is anyone, Dengen, you, going to take over or are we all toast?

[Mormegil]

When did Snaga get banned? And where is confirmation of it?

[EverEve]

SNAGA GOT BANNED!?!?!?! CAN WE GET A MOD TO CONFIRM THIS FOR ME PLEASE?:mad: WHAT DID SNAGA DO??????

[ReadWryt]

I don't know what all the crazy hair pulling hysteria is all about...I don't know if anyone noticed that when a member is banned the word "BANNED" appears below their name...

Cool your jets kids, the guy isn't banned. Don't let rumor and presumption get the better of your judgement...:)

[Snaga]

Hey!!!!!!! I can post again!!!!!!! :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Something strange and mysterious has happened! I feel like Han Solo, or Gandalf... no not that damn wizard... I feel like Sauron, when he just got back from Numenor! Remember... when Sauron returned from Numenor, he could no longer appear in a guise that was fair? Well that's me!! No more nice agreeable Snaga! Its time to get nasty!!!:mad: :mad: :mad:

No winks, or smiles, or big cheesy grins! Just savage blades, and dragon fire, fear and death!

[Mormegil]

PHEW! What a relief!
I thought we lost you there Snaga. Welcome back.

[YayGollum]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY Snaga!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chrysophalax]

Greetings Snaga! Let us be about our business shall we??

[~Emerald Took~]

wow! your back!:)

[Khamul]

Well, how exactly did this happen? But anyways, back to the rpgs?

[¤-Elessar-¤]

....snagga....what is going on, why is no one posting in 35A anymore?

[Valar]

Yeah lets don't stop now, its going so well!
I will post something soon, but i want to make a dramatic entrance back in!

[YayGollum]

Yeah, I'm waiting for Snaga (with one g).

[Snaga]

Well... about the delay... Snaga apologises to noone!

Especially when he could point the finger elsewhere if he chose...

Just now Snaga is busy with loftier matters and needs to reflect on all that has happened. The next posts need to be good ones, and I am not a hasty orc, whatever muddier minds might think.

And Tarien... can you stop shimmering, and teleporting, and talking in peoples ears! Especially when you keep telling Elessar things like 'find your people' and 'go west'. Its not helping anything, and I'm not an especially patient orc! Dire are the consequences of the wroth of Snaga! Golug sha nurulûk ishi bagronk!

[EverEve]

*whispers in Snaga's ear: "I think you mean wrath"* I would have posted by now, but I really dont have anything important to say.

[Mormegil]

That Tarien thing is really annoying. Snaga, can't you get a Mod to delete those Tarien posts?

I would post, but I don't know what to do next with regards to the storyline.

[YayGollum]

Augh! Snaga is even scarier! I mean, yay snaga!

[Snaga]

OK... hopefully I've got things moving now... at least in 'Hope?'

As far as Tarien goes... I'm inclined to agree. I know that my orcish temperament is perhaps more ruthless than you faint-hearts. If anyone thinks I'd be wrong to get those posts removed, let me know ASAP. PMs might be best.

BTW the rest of y'all, I don't want anyone thinking I'm not happy with how this RPG is going. I am!

[Snaga]

A quick reminder to keep as many of the ooc's here as possible.

Don't worry about the Lorien/ Black Sword thing. I'm bearing in mind what Elessar says, but you know what the press say 'Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.'

BTW Tarien did get permission from me. Its just, well, the posts aren't what I anticipated. Since I've not been inundated on this point, let us all bear with her for a while, and see if it starts to make sense. Anyway, at least, she's keeping you company on your plotline Elessar!

[chrysophalax]

Should I be posting in HOPE for awhile?

[Mormegil]

Responding to Valar's ooc in Hope concerning magical powers.

We started RPG 35a with wizard powers. I believe that it would make sense for us to retain our wizard powers for the remainder of the RPG.
It just makes the story flow better and saves going back through to edit out previous uses of magic.
The story would suffer if we suddenly just lost our magic.

Anyway, who says that the White Council are the only ones to use magic? Just because they want to be elitist. What's stopping any of us setting up our own Magic Council and retaining our magic.
Just because a few people say, "We are the wizards and you lot aren't allowed to do magic. Only we are." doesn't mean we have to listen to them. That just seems a bit unfair and elitist to me.

[Valar]

I don't think it is wrong.
Just because they are wizards it doesnt mean they are more powerful than anyone else. Just that they use different abilities to us.
People abused there powers and used harry potter style powers.
Wizard is a word mortal humans used to explain there abitlties, i mean what is magic.
6 wizards is more fathomable than 60.
It doesn't mean they can kick our a$$'s just that there different.
And anyway its more fun not using magic.

[chrysophalax]

Magnus DEFINITELY agrees! *my poor,poor,scales*

[Mormegil]

Eve, Valar. This thread was specifically set up so that we wouldn't clutter up the RPG's with ooc's. The flow of the story has been destroyed.
Please can we keep ooc's on this thread.

[EverEve]

SORRY!!! Geez, we werent that bad. But I was very confuzed and I want in the mood to leave and look for this thread.

Alritey, so let me get this straight: The White Council has decided they are the only ones that can use magic, and the rest of us wizards are to be forgotten about? Is that about whats happening? When was this announced? Im feeling confuzzled.:(

[¤-Elessar-¤]

Really, it would be beter not to contest the power of the white council. If you feel you still want powers join a dark legion guild. No one will accept or allow magic outside of the legion and the council in their RPs.

[EverEve]

I wasnt going against the council, I just would like to no when, and why they are doing it. If I find out there reasons to support this action, perhaps I will change my mind and support it as well. But until that time, I think ya'll know where I stand.

[Snaga]

OK I'll make a judgement on this, and I hope Cir / Mithers / everyone can accept this.

We will keep this RPG internally consistent. Therefore since various of the characters have already declared magical powers, they may continue to use them. So we will treat this RPG as operating under an amnesty from Mithers judgement.

We will abide by the spirit of Mithers ruling which is, we will avoid excessive use of these powers, and use them for the good of the story not to overpower it. This is clearly declared at the start of the RPG, so its not news.

Is that OK with everyone???

Aside from this

- can everyone go and delete their ooc posts. Without looking that's Valar, Elessar and Evereve! Thanks

- AG ... sorry, but can you revise your post. Its doesn't make sense. Your at the bottom of the tower, Eve's at the top LOL!

- Can I just congratulate Elessar and Mormegil particularly for some top quality posts. Morm I was so glad when you had the Ents catch you... that was exactly what I was thinking of!

[Mormegil]

Snaga,
It was the only way I could see of saving my ass. Other than dying and getting reincarnated like Gandalf.
Hey that's an idea. Maybe I could have come back as the WhiteSword. LOL

Anyway, can I just say how great I think this RPG is. And now we have had our first interaction between 'Despair' and 'Hope' it has got even better. Well done everyone.:)

[Snaga]

Well I have to give some credit to Telchar who suggested that Snaga come this way to pay him a visit. After that it kinda fell into place!

[Kit Baggins]

OK guys I've been away and now I don't know what's going on in either part of the RP, so can someone fill mne in please?

~Kit :)

[Mormegil]

Kit, it's probably best if you just read through the threads.

[Afterglow]

Well I *suppose* I could revise the post. ::grins::

[¤-Elessar-¤]

Okay, I have been trying to read up on the events in 35, and I must say that I have no clue what is going on. Snaga was riding the dragon, I think, when it scared Mormegil down the tower, unless the "black tower" he spoke of was the black tower that Elessar is at, in that case I would like to know who he is spitting fire at. And also, what is the deal with the orcish armies, are they moving in a certain direction?

[chrysophalax]

Orthanc was the tower upon which I vented my wrath (by way of clarification..):D

[¤-Elessar-¤]

thank you:D

[Snaga]

Yep the orcish armies are going north to Mt Gundabad, because Snaga has been invited to take leadership of the orcs of the north.

There are lots of loose ends, which I hope will all neatly tie up in the end. Some of them I know how they will end up, some of them I don't... some of them I think I know but it depends what happens.

The bit with you and Tarien is a bit of a wildcard! And I don't know what's happened to Valar. But Valar does I think...

I'm enjoying this because its got so much happening in it. If I'm having difficulty keeping track of it all, I don't know about the rest of you!!! I like it when you guys throw in something new and novel... It keeps me on my toes trying to make it all make sense.

[chrysophalax]

Snaga, please clean out your PM box.

[Mormegil]

Eve,
Your last post on 'Hope' doesn't make sense. The group have already gone down from the tower. You might want to go back and edit it.

[Snaga]

Originally posted by chrysophalax

Whoops... done!

[Valar]

Right i'm back in the RP, snaga you can add in any bit you want with me in now.

[Snaga]

OK thanks Valar. I struggled a bit to follow the route you took, but I'm assuming you went from the west edge of Fangorn, a little way north of Isengard, and went east and then south to comwe out on the south side of Fangorn, where you met your men. Then you headed towards Isengard.

I'll work out a timing for that - looks like about a day's travel in all. So that should work.

I have to say, I think that your men will find it hard to do much about the fire for now. Buckets of water on a forest fire are hard to do, and I wouldn't want to contemplate back-burning in Fangorn.

Other things: i'm thinking of closing off Despair for the time being. For the most part the rest of the journey north will be straightforward, unless I concoct lots of events. All it will take is time. Also most of the bad guys have mysteriously stopped posting. Sting has gone to be a moderator on another forum, and will not be back very often. This is a shame, but might end up as a good thing, because it will make things easier to follow. If things change, it can be revived.

Opinions please!

[EverEve]

Sting left???????

[chrysophalax]

Where do I post then?? In HOPE?

[Khamul]

Sting left?

[Valar]

Thank god stings gone, he's SOOOOO anoying! :D :D
Only j/k

[EverEve]

LOL! That was a good one!

[Snaga]

LMAO! I only said Sting wouldn't be here 'very often'!

[Khamul]

Dont worry, I will still be here, but the rpg is in a middle point, and I am waiting for the final destination....

[Snaga]

OK that's good news.

I think what I will do is a concluding post to 'Despair' and then in the fullness of time I will start 'Mt Gundabad: the Depths of Despair' or something like that.

I'll PM everyone in 'Despair' about what is to follow.

In the meantime the bad guys will essentially be in 'holding pattern' and the focus will be on 'Hope'. There is a lot to resolve and a lot to discover.

[Khamul]

Ok, that works...

[Mormegil]

What's happening now in Hope?
I can't do anything cause I'm on the verge of death.

[Snaga]

Just posted! Your feeling a bit better...

[Snaga]

Hey Elessar, just a bit confused now. Those guys aren't nazgul I hope. Since this is the Fourth Age, and the Nazgul are gone? PM me if you prefer!

[¤-Elessar-¤]

Souls of evil numenorians, I think. Wraths of some sort, although definetally not ringwraths. Might be like wraths that have evil magic or something, I was trying to leave it a bit open.

[Snaga]

OK. Cool. I can live with a bit of uncertainty.

[Mormegil]

Hey I'm back.
But I don't feel whole.
:(

Anyway. Lets get the RPG started again.

[Snaga]

Agreed Mormegil Jnr!

I'm gonna post tomorrow. I've written half of it, and then got stuck!

[Mormegil]

Cool.

I want my Custom Title back!:mad:

[EverEve]

*pats Mor on the shoulder* It could be worse, it could be worse. Don't know how, but it could be.

[YayGollum]

Yay! What a great name! Mormegil is Junior from now on! :D

[Mormegil]

Shut up Yay.

Thankyou for your sympathy Eve. And don't worry, I'll be the 'Sword of Darkness' again soon.

[YayGollum]

Shut up? What a nice thing to say to the dude who was defending you at that other place! :rolleyes: Anyways, I'll only call you that when you're evil, just like Sting is camel.

[Mormegil]

:p @ Yay

[Khamul]

Truor=tuna.....

[YayGollum]

Do what!?!

[EverEve]

*laughs hysterically because she is pretty sure she gets it* That was good! Mor, I think you should stick with the 'Sword of Darkness'. It works for you.

[Snaga]

Hey guys ... how do you like the picture of Lark I posted in the 'pictures of your characters' thread?

[Snaga]

BTW - Can everyone assume that Elessar is still in the tower. ie ignore the eagle rescue please. I'm asking Ciryaher to delete that bit.

Sorry Tarien but this is because:
- Main reason = Its better for the story this way
- An eagle can't carry two people at the same time, let alone heavily armed & armoured people. Not even Gwaihir could have done so
- I'm not too keen on the idea that you after being unconscious for a day could wake up and suddenly summon a large cat AND an eagle so quickly. Please keep your powers in proportion!

Hope thats OK!

[EverEve]

Ok, I am almost in Fangorn, but where were we before we split up?

[Snaga]

Here's a map that show what's been going on...

The red line = the main route taken.
The purple line = Elessar's travels/capture
The yellow line = Valar's route through Fangorn
The small black line is Eve, Lark, Afterglow, Tarien and Kit heading to Fangorn
The thick blue line is the orc army approaching the point where Valar, Mormegil and Truor are standing around chatting!!!

[EverEve]

Very helpful, thankyou. I am suppose to go north to the tower/fortress right?

[Snaga]

'You are full of courtesy today' as Legolas once said to Merry/Pippin!

... Have some sugar Eve! I think that's the real you!

[EverEve]

um.....Thanks!

[Snaga]

;) Your very welcome!

Oh yes, we're going to the fortress, hoping it is mostly emptied of bad guys, trying to find Elessar.

[Snaga]

Just so y'all know... I intend to start the thread for the next part of the bad guys side of the story fairly soon... so look out for it! And PM me / reply to this if you want to be part of that.

[Khamul]

Ok, you probably already assumed this, but I will want to join it.......

[EverEve]

Sting...........Damn it, I forgot what I was gonna say, so, uh....Hi!


lol, sry.

[Khamul]

Ummm ok, pm me if you remember.

[Snaga]

Thanks Sting.

Eve LOL I love it when you do your scatty thing!:D

[Snaga]

Tarien: The reason why your sword is bloodstained is that Elessar borrowed it, ran around slaughtering loads of bad guys and then gave it back to you.

[YayGollum]

Argh! Why do people pick on me? Calling me whatsisname! Making my sword fall on my toe! What did I do to you? My sword has a nice sheath and I never use it, so why would I be holding it? oh well.

[Snaga]

Poor old Yay! You'll have forgive Lark. She was delirious!

[¤-Elessar-¤]

Sorry! I thought it would add a bit of comedy to that perticular part of the RP...

[Snaga]

It made me laugh!:D

[YayGollum]

Don't even worry about it. I'll cry later. :rolleyes: Argh! Evil Elessar! You could have let the evil Mormegil drop his sword! oh well. Glad I could make people laugh. :rolleyes:

[Snaga]

OK I've started RP35B, the next installment of the bad guys side... let me know if you want in!

[Mormegil]

The 'evil Mormegil' would never drop his sword.:D

[Snaga]

I need opinions please. Basically the problem is that I've got exams over the next few weeks and need to put some work in.:( :eek:

Hope? is at a convenient place to break for a while, since everyone's been rescued and you need time to recover from your toils and injuries.

I wondered how you feel about leaving it as it is, perhaps for 3 weeks. How would everyone feel about that? Potentially it could restart as Book IV. This seems to have worked well for Despair which now has a refreshed cast list!:) Otherwise it will have to go at a much slower rate for a time.

Whaddya think?

[¤-Elessar-¤]

would work great, it is a good place to have a break, we can forget about me and work on the real plot (what was it again, I seem to have forgotten...I remember a song, and the black sword, and a numenorian....)

[EverEve]

*giggle* thats all i remember too....and i was there for the beggining...

[Snaga]

Oh dear... so noone's worked out what's going on? That's bad news for Middle Earth! Who can save us now???!

Sounds like another good reason for a break.

Then when we start up again, we can have a 'Council of Elrond' type session, where someone older and wiser can put you all in the picture, point you in the right direction, before sending you on your merry way!

[¤-Elessar-¤]

Ok... even though that makes us sound like children. It all had something to do with that damn song, although it must tie into the orc-muster in the north, somehow...

[YayGollum]

*oblivious to the real discussion* Yay for feasts! :rolleyes:

[Valar]

Sorry i haven't posted in a while i've been so busy

[Snaga]

Valar: worry not. We are taking a break for a while. I hope you have a bit more time soon.

Elessar: sorry 'bout that!:D Just joking! Its not supposed to be that clear yet. The plot would be less interesting if you knew everything straight out. And OK I admit it... there are still some loose ends I've got to work out myself.

The biggest hints are parts with Radagast here (http://www.thetolkienforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3221&perpage=15&pagenumber=5) and with the loremasters of Minas Tirith at Isengard here (http://www.thetolkienforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3221&perpage=15&pagenumber=14)

[¤-Elessar-¤]

oh, right, the two parts I was too busy to read...

[YayGollum]

Yay for fish! What a great way to end an RPG! For now... <---Ooh! Notice the dots! *ominous music in the background*

[Mormegil]

A break sounds good to me. I haven't been able to post much because I've been so busy with assignments and exams for my university course.
3 weeks sounds OK to me. I'll be on holiday by then, with 4 glorious months to look foreward to before I return to Uni.:D

[EverEve]

*sniff* if its alright with everyone else, its alright with me. so sad!:D

[Snaga]

OK guys I think you must have killed each of those 6 orcs twice each! I'm impressed!

[Snaga]

Nain

This is the place for ooc's. Sorry if the rpg is a bit slow for you at the moment but I've got little time for it this week. I have exams:(

[Khamul]

He angrily tore the body free from the swords and started uttering words in a dark tongue. Slowly a whining noise came into being and a black hole appeared in the air with green light spewing out of it. It moved rapidly over a group of orcs and as it grew in size it sucked them into its vortex. Lorien satisfied rushed into the melee with his swords swinging.

Uhhhhh, necromancers can make black holes? It would compress the air, and all around would die.....



The 5 orcs stood and laughed to see the dwarf. They stopped when Nain shot a dark mist at one orc and devoured him. 3 ran at Nain, but Nain just waved his hand and a wall of black formed in front of him, the 3 orc ran through it, but they did not know it would destroy them which it did. He waved his hand again and the wall was gone.

Seems pretty easy doesnt it?

Sorry if I sound rude, but this just doesnt seem like powers of necromancers. Im sorry if I am wrong.....

[Snaga]

Sting,

I will ask Lorien as head of necromancers to comment, since he is arbiter of the necromancer powers. I too felt uneasy about this.

[Lorien]

That wasn't a 'black hole' Sting. I just wanted to say that a hole seemed to appear in the air. Its a standard planar spell.
I've asked Nain to edit his post. That was way too much magic to be using in one post (given his physical condition in the RP).

[¤-Elessar-¤]

are we ever gonna start the good guys again? I'm bored.

[Snaga]

I'll start it at the weekend. I have an exam tomorrow, and then my last one isn't for a week so I will have some time again. Yayyyyyy!

[Kit Baggins]

What kind of exams are they?

I have exams too right now :( . But... next week is a holiday! NO MORE EXAMS FOR A WHOLE WEEK :D !!

~Kit :)

[Snaga]

Uni exams, first year.... One to go... :)

[Snaga]

Ok I know I didn't quite manage to restart the good guys thread. Sorry about that, but things got a bit confusing for a while, but I think I got them straightened out. So it shouldn't be too long now!:)

As with the bad guys thread I will be taking the opportunity to let the cast change. So people who don't want to continue can call it a day at Lothlorien, and people who want to join can PM me, and assuming all's well I will let them join.

[Mormegil]

I can't wait for the goodguy thread to get going again.
Snaga, I would like to continue my role.

[Kit Baggins]

Me too :) .

~Kit :)

[YayGollum]

Oh, yeah. I guess I should say that I want back in, too.

[Snaga]

OK good I'm glad so many of you want to continue. Things are just taking longer than I expected to straighten out in my head. It all comes down to a bit of history, that I can't get worked out yet!

Just now I had to work out how I was going to handle the fact that Lorien has decided to defect from the Dark Legion. A tricky little puzzle, but one that will help the RP in the end.

The new cleaner whiter Lorien will be joining the good guys thread, which I WILL be starting soon, just as soon as I have got it together.

Thanks for bearing with me!:)

[¤-Elessar-¤]

yea, I am in if you didn't already know

Uh... lord of the necromancers white? Something awfully funny about that...

[Lorien]

I've already made an entrance into the Celebration thread Elessar. I suggest you read the Dark Sciences thread. All will be explained then.
Snaga you make me sound like an advertisement for a washing powder (cleaner, whiter.....):D

[chrysophalax]

Excuse me, but where does this leave me as Artos? I am a tad confused here!

[YayGollum]

I was just wondering if I could have a brother in this RPG? Somebody expressed some interest in joining.

[Snaga]

You can of course have a brother Yay. 'Somebody' needs to get in touch with me to join the rp.:)

Artos can't come with Lorien in this instance, since this is a bit of retrospective work to ensure everything stays consistent. Lorien diced with death, on the Dark Sciences thread, and had a major life change and so can't really stay as he is in the rp.

Basically, everyone in the DoD thread carry on, and Snaga will return shortly.:) Let me know if its not left in a good place to post from, cos I can post it into better position if needed. I just needed to get through that difficulty.

[chrysophalax]

It would help if Lorien gave Artos his walking papers...

[YayGollum]

It looks like my bro has said something to you in a PM. Yay! Can't wait! Someone to talk to now while you serious people contemplate how to save Middle Earth! :rolleyes: <---I was kidding. Of course I'll save the world! :D

[Snaga]

Yes he has...

Further delays ... just trying to straighten things out. I need to hear from Afterglow, Mormegil and Valar!

BTW in Depths of Despair I will now principally be playing Rashdug for the time being at least. He is much nastier than Snaga!;)

[Mormegil]

Snaga,
Your PM box is full, so I'll post my reply here.
I would like to continue my role in RP35-Hope.

[Snaga]

:D:D:D:D:D

Yayyyyy!

I finally got my act together. The good guys are back!

[chrysophalax]

RRRRRRRRR! Good! Somone's due a toasting!!

[YayGollum]

It looks like the Snaga dude needs to clean out his PM box again. Whoops!

[¤-Elessar-¤]

hello, anyone planning on posting in 35C? How about you reveal this mystery character.

[YayGollum]

I posted! Am waiting for interest to show up again!

[Snaga]

Dangit! The guy who was supposed to be playing the mystery character is AWOL! If he doesn't show soon I will step in...

[Snaga]

OK I posted the first part of the council into Where Lies Hope. Thinorn has more to say in due course, but the post was getting long enough!

[¤-Elessar-¤]

*rubbs his temples

now let me get this right... you made up a brother to Elwe? Elmo? Isn't Elmo the little fuzzy guy from whatever-street? The one that they made all of the toys after? Elwe had only one brother I know of, and that is Olwe of Alqualonde... Now, many of Olwe's sons and his daughter came back to ME, but none were said to have children of their own, save Galadriel, the daughter, who gave birth to Celebrain (wife of Elrond Half-Elven); who in turn gave birth to Arwen, wife of Aragorn Elessar. Where, pray tell, does Mormegil fit in? Or Elmo, or what's-his-name-in-the-Numenorian-language? Just a tad bit confused....

[Snaga]

Nope I didn't make him up. I dont really go for the name: but who am I to argue with JRRT. You need to look in Unfinished Tales for the references, but for now if you follow this link it will at least show I am not totally inventing.

Elmo (http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/e/elmo.html)

The truth is that the relationships between various Sindarin elves are not clear, and different texts describe things differently. But I have done my research carefully and havent written anything demonstrably wrong.

Anyway I have to apologise for the historical ramblings... it has proven necessary to resolve some of the conundrums in the plot that were still hanging around. Not least the Numenorean wraith!:)

[Mormegil]

I am rather pleased with snaga's story of my ancestor's. It is also written in agreat style.
Well done Snaga, you sure have done a lot of research.

I'm just glad we found something to go on that scroll. When I 'found' it I didn't have a clue what would be contained on it.

[Snaga]

Thanks Morm!:D It did take some research... but I enjoyed doing it!

[YayGollum]

Did you also enjoy corrupting the greatest of all wizards? Poor Radagast! He was the only one in the books that nothing bad happened to and you have to bring him into your RPG just to make him become evil! Why is that? Just to have an original idea? Very evil idea! just my opinion. Too bad there's no way to stop this. Am I the only one who cares? ignore me if you think it's the greatest idea ever. :rolleyes:

Oo! Just found this ---> In the council of Elrond, Gandalf describes him as "...a worthy wizard, a master of shapes and changes of hue; and he has much lore of herbs and beasts, and birds especially are his friends." He then affirms the wizard's loyalty with another statement:

" 'At first I feared, as Saruman no doubt intended, that Radagast had also fallen. Yet I caught no hint of anything wrong in his voice or his eye at our meeting. If I had, I should never have gone to Isengard, or I should have gone more warily. So Saruman guessed, and he had concealed his mind and deceived his messenger. It would have been useless to try and win over the honest Radagast to treachery. He sought me in good faith and so persuaded me.' "

Argh! Why is Radagast evil?

[¤-Elessar-¤]

um... you're not talking to me, are you? Cause I didn't say anything about Radagast. And I didn't see where Snaga said anything, although I thought I remembered him mentioning him....

*Confused :confused:

[YayGollum]

In Despair. Very evil. I'll defend Radagast almost as much as Gollum! Argh! oh well. :rolleyes:

[¤-Elessar-¤]

oh, well, in that case. I agree with Yay. Radagast may not have done his duty in ME, but that does not mean he turned from the light as did Saruman. He styayed true to Yavanna and her bunch, and Yavanna is a sworn enimy of Morgoth and his evil offspring. Radagast would deffinitally not be helping orcs, or doing evils (for all evils are inspired by the lingering malice of Melkor Morgoth).

[Snaga]

I agree. At the time of Lord of the Rings, Radagast had not turned to evil.

Of course, this is a Fourth Age RP... so who knows what may have happened...;)

[Mormegil]

Yeah, I'm ok with Radagast being evil. Anything could have happened in the 500+ years between LOTR and RP35 which turned Radagast evil.

Has Valar left RP35? He hasn't posted anything relevant to it for a while.

[YayGollum]

Argh! Yes, it is a good plot twist, but Argh! again! Why would Radagast have become evil in the fourth age? There's no reason for him to want any more power! Also, don't know about Valar. I PMed him and he said that he forgot about it and that he'd get to it, but that was a while ago.

[Snaga]

Valar definitely said he wanted to be in... but no posts:(

We will have to leave Lothlorien fairly soon, so if he doesn't post soon I will post something about an messenger arriving from Gondor where urgent matters have arisen or somesuch reason for his absence. If he gets more time, we can always write him back in. His contribution will be missed.

[Lorien]

Elessar you seem to have made a mistake in your last post on RP#35C.
I was never the governor of Dol Guldur. I'm still the governor of Angmar.

[Kit Baggins]

Sorry I haven't posted in 35B/C recently- I've been at work ;) . I am still in the RP (although I'm not really sure what's happeneing in 35B, so could Snaga please post something for Khazak there, so I know what's happening :) )?

~Kit :)

[¤-Elessar-¤]

hmm... I thought you moved in when Naz left? Oh well, hope the rest of my post makes enough sense...

Yea, Valar is having trouble finding time to get on these days.

[Lorien]

I must've held Dol Guldur for two days (rl) at the most. Then Naz moved to Rhun giving me Angmar and giving Adeilya Dol Guldur.

[¤-Elessar-¤]

oh, ok. Thanks for the information.

[Snaga]

YAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

The good guys are leaving Lothlorien! Woohooo!

I thought we would never stop talking! LOL! Sorry about that... my fault! We'll try and pick up the pace now...:D

[Eomer Dinmention]

Hey Snaga i guess this is a little late to ask

But would it be ok if i joined in

I tried to pm you, but your pm box is full

[Snaga]

No problem at all Eomer... we'd love to have you in! I've posted you your cue to join. Hopefully no one's randomly attacked the horseman that is approaching by the time you read this... seeing as its you!:D

[¤-Elessar-¤]

I am now pushing myself from all RPs and RP associated threads. I am sorry. You may have a mod delete my posts, or change my characters name and make him useable to all participators, so as to not loose what he has contributed so far. 'Tis your choice, I will do nothing about it.

[YayGollum]

Yikes! Got a reason?

[Snaga]

Elessar

I am sorry to hear of this decision. We have had BIG differences in the War threads, councils etc... but in this RP I have welcomed your contribution, and enjoyed your posts. They are always written in a great style, and have helped make this RP the success that it is.:) You will be missed.

Snaga

[chrysophalax]

Nain, if you read my last post, you'll see I'm in no position to do anything right now!!

[chrysophalax]

RRRRRRRRR! I see Jardhur just disappeared! No Dragon snack!

[chrysophalax]

LOL! Do dwarves even SAY "Geez"?

[Ecthelion]

Good, question.................Well I guess they do now!:p

[chrysophalax]

Man, you're quick! I think I'll nominate you next time for Best Comic Relief!

[Ecthelion]

YEAH I am quick! GO me! I can be funny if I want to, actually really funny. MUAHAHAHAHHAH! Jeez is a cool word also just so you know.

[chrysophalax]

Um, if you WANT to?:rolleyes:

[Ecthelion]

Yes if I want to be funny I can but if not I don't like in Serious Rp's I try to hide the funny, but in lighthearted Rp's I release the funny

[Snaga]

Lorien - your PM box is full.

Your idea is great! I'll try to catch you on MSN to talk it over.:)

[Snaga]

OK guys... getting slightly nervous!!

I need Serewing and Artos to post their next scene together, because it sounds as though it will be a great development of both characters!:)

But after that I will post something to get the show on the road again. It doesn't feel as though it is all very purposeful! I hope I can give it some direction *crosses fingers!*

[Ciryaher]

*ahem* Chryso, how exactly are either Jahrdur or Ervurkea pinned by Magnus? They are camped within a great pile of boulders, and I have not seen where wolves found them and somehow drove them out in any of your posts.

[chrysophalax]

Post #178, Page 12 Carcaroth found you! Tag! You're it!

[Lorien]

*Cough* I'm going to be unable to get online for a couple of days. I should probably be able to post by the 27th, so until then if it is necessary anyone in 35C can take over Lorien for a bit.

[YayGollum]

Ummm...yeah. C-Ya Lorien person. Anyways :rolleyes: , Yay me! I won the poll for best comedy relief! I'm sure you all voted for me. :rolleyes: Can't wait to make some acceptance speech at some thread for the Oscars. :D

[Ciryaher]

Jahrdur and Ervurkea are NOT IN THE WOODS! They are inside a pile of boulders for crying out loud, and I've posted that at least 5 times! In the name of Eru, do pay attention!!

[chrysophalax]

I believe I have altered every single offensive post I could find, Ciryaher! Hopefully my supreme stupidity and lack of vision will not be quite so evident in future...should you see fit to insult me again, do so in private.

Besides, when was teleportation ever used by Tolkien?

[Ciryaher]

As I said before, read closer and you'll see that he didn't teleport.

At any rate, both characters are relatively out of the RP until a time deemed by Snaga.

[Ecthelion]

Just thought you guys would like to know that since I'm not a Necromancer anymore, I'm not sure how your going to raise the dead army of Angmar. Hopefully you'll find something out.
