RP 36: Redemption: Discussion

[chrysophalax]

OK! This is mainly for those of us who either can't reach each other any other way, or for good old fussing and griping through story-lines! Have fun and play nice!

[Lillyaundra]

you come up with everything dont you????

[Snaga]

Hey... its all gone quiet!

[Maedhros]

Not anymore. Sorry people, but it takes me a while from post to post.

[chrysophalax]

The action is just getting started!!

[lotr_fairy]

Um...I am new here and I just thought to drop in and say hey so...Hey! How is everything going? Anyone going to start a new thread for me to join? lol...that's the bad thing about being new...it's hard to find a new thread...so is anyone??

[Úlairi]

May I join?

[Snaga]

Hi & welcome. You need to find a RPG you'd like to join and send a private message (PM) to the thread starter asking if you can join. Oh and you need to post a character profile on the Profile thread.

[Maedhros]

Patience, the next post is almost ready.;)

[chrysophalax]

OK guys! We're back on track! Hopefully we won't have any more big lulls! Great work!

[chrysophalax]

People! Don't you think it's time we had a rating on this thread??

[Snaga]

Well I suppose you mean on the RP itself? I gave it a 1 star muhahaha! Well actually not... the posts are really good - from everyone. Its just you have to wait for them!

[EverEve]

Im still waiting until I can show up :(

[chrysophalax]

Eve! Fear not ! We're alomost to you! I think I had somebody bail on me though and I'm waiting for confirmation....

[Úlairi]

Well, chyrosophalax has instated me in this thread. Our first topic for discussion is...?

[Zale]

Chrysophalax, if you're referring to me, then I didn't 'bail', I just haven't been on in a while. Now, I'm back & I'm waiting for a cue...

[Úlairi]

OUR FIRST TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION IS...?

[chrysophalax]

Ulairi, Chill dude! This is not a true "discussion" thread as threads are in the other forums. This thread basically serves as a message board and a place to hash things out. If anyone feels they disagree with any point in the plot or think things would be better served going in a different direction and want everyone to know it, this is the place for that. If however, you wish to discuss certain aspects of REDEMPTION, by all means, go for it! I can see you are going to add more than a bit of spice to this thing!:D

Well, I was mistaken as the name of the thread was a little misleading. I have checked out your 'Redemption' thread and if I were you chrysophalax, I'd keep a position open as I am considering joining. :D

[chrysophalax]

That's MAGNUS to you, Sir Nazgul! And I should hope so as you already have an assigned role!!

[Úlairi]

"Excellent" (said whilst drumming my fingers together).

I am so sorry MAGNUS! *whispers silently*chrysophalax)*whispers silently* :p

[chrysophalax]

Whoa! Ulairi, you know how to make friends! Extremely cool. Magnus is NOT happy, he'll be gunning for you!

[Maedhros]

Ulairi, i want to know what THE HELL you posted in the RPG. Have you read anything.

[chrysophalax]

Thanks to everybody! At last ! Some real conflict! Um, Ulairi? A little delusional perhaps???

[Maedhros]

I will wait before posting. I want this thing fixed.

[Úlairi]

I am an Elf. I know this. Here is a quote from the Sil to clean things up for you people:

...he looked upon the Children of Iluvatar that sat at the feet of the Mighty, and hatred filled him;...

I was one of those Elves, yet, at the darkening of Valinor I fled, and I was ensnared by Melkor. Before he marred me, making me one of his orcs, I pleaded for mercy, he did not grant me mercy, but pardon from the suffering for he saw great power in me and he turned me to evil and made me a commander of one of his armies. I fought in the Last Battle and was slain, and went to the Halls of Mandos, there the Valar granted me pardon from the Halls if I taught an Elf from ME and brought him/her to glory then and only then could I return to the Blessed Realm, that is my story. I was named Herugurth by Melkor but Anglith for my hair was a grey as ash before I was captured by Melkor. I hope that clears things up for you Maehdros. The reason I said that you said that I was greater than you was because of my military status in Melkor's army. Our test of strength would be unpredictable, you thought that I was Maia in the post that I made and I was going to clear that up by returning and saying to you that I was a mere Elf and that I was going to post my story.

[chrysophalax]

Really guys, Magnus isn't coming. Not yet. He's off plotting!:D

[Úlairi]

Oh, that one caught me off guard Magnus. I was expecting you to post something along the lines of: *Ulairi, you are incomprehensibly brilliant, and the post you have just made explains it all.* :p :D

[Maedhros]

STOP PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH. Please.

[Snaga]

Maedhros, that is just bang out of order frankly. Ulairi gave your character one line of dialogue, which was merely saying that we'd seen the dragon. If you think there's a problem with that, I can't see it. And whatever your problem is, flaming people is not the answer.

Magnus, can you PM me when everyone's stopped throwing their toys out of the pram, and I'll come back to this.

[chrysophalax]

People, PEOPLE!! Are we not able to handle our differences through PM's?? I want no bloodshed on the forum walls!!

[Maedhros]

Maedhros, that is just bang out of order frankly.
Well, it's not out of order, because I have spent a lot of time thinking between my post and the begining of the story to make it as historically "viable and logically related to the Silmarillion" to have this new out of place ideas.
I apologize to Ulairi for Flamining him. I have pm him and will continue to do so.
Magnus can you PM me when everyone's stopped throwing their toys out of the pram, and I'll come back to this.
Well, the fact that i had stop posting didn't stop you, so i don't see why you need an alert now.

[Maedhros]

I would like to apologize publicly to Ulairi and Snaga1. I behaved as a total jerk and i accepted it. Sometimes, your mind at work can translate to other activities as it happened here. I'm truly sorry for being so obnoxious to you both. My anger got the better of me. I know this was not an excuse, yet I'm hoping that you will come back to the RPG.
Sometimes, the worth of a man is measured not by his achivements, but by his ability to grant pardon to those that have afflicted them.

Maedhros.

[Grond]

If making Ulari mad is a part of the RPG.... can I join????

LOL

Seriously, I want to join and hopefully Ulari will return as Grond will again prove that his intellect isn't as great as he pretends. :)

[Snaga]

Hmmm I'm not sure about your motives there Grond.;)

Maedhros, apology accepted.

[chrysophalax]

Ulairi, your PM box is full! Come, be reconciled that we might continue.

[Úlairi]

Grond, when I saw your pic I jumped to the conclusion that you weren't as intelligent as I thought you were! So, I guess you'll have to prove it to me once more!!! LOL, just kidding. As you have said before, I am merely your apprentice, learning from your every word. But, the apprentice can become greater than the master can he not? Actually, once I read the Letters of JRRT you'll find me a lot harder to deal with then I already am!!! But, I have PM'd you chryo and I do not wish to participate as I feel as though I am not really wanted there. If you wish to know why, just read the kind words of Maehdros who can't hold his tongue. I got mad yes, and it has subsided a little, but I no longer wish to participate unless I am given an extremely good reason to stay (not saying that Grond joining isn't). Grond, may I suggest you get yourself another CUT, as I have always admired them. Especially the Melkor's Moderating Mace one. You could change it to Melkor's Mighty Mace and it would still be as effective in my opinion.

[EverEve]

Ulairi, i personally think you should stay, but the final desicion is your's alone.

[Úlairi]

Reason being EverEve???

[chrysophalax]

ENOUGH! So be it!

[Úlairi]

Someone doesn't like seeing her RPG being flushed down the toilet do they?

[Grond]

Okay! The Grondster has arrived. Let's get this RPG crackin'! If Ulari has bowed out, I will fill his role. Chryso, brief me and then let's get cruisn'!!!

[Úlairi]

Took my advice on the CUT I see. I am considering re-joining under my part if Grond is going to steal it. And, I would like to go head to head with him. So, I think I will change my mind. Maehdros's apology was sincere enough, therefore, count me back in chyro.

[chrysophalax]

This is an RPG, not WWF, Ulairi! If you don't mind, delete your last post in Redemption.

[Úlairi]

Wrestling of the mind is not wrong IMO Magnus. What was wrong with my other post?

[chrysophalax]

The one where you announced you were leaving didn't belong in the RPG itself. It belonged here. Thanks for removing it!

[Úlairi]

No problem Magnus almighty one!

[chrysophalax]

Ulairi! ACK!! Your PM box is full! I have a counter offer for you that you may enjoy....

[Grond]

I have assumed Ulari's role (sorry Ulari) and made my first post. Please continue. I will try to monitor from Las Vegas next week. In the meantime, Chryso will post in my stead. :)

[chrysophalax]

Everyone! It is now safe to post! Continue!

[Úlairi]

What in the hell happens to me then? Btw, Magnus, my PM Box is empty, it just won't receive any messages!!! I don't know why! :confused: :mad:

[Grond]

Apparently things are not worked out here. I will be back in town in 9 days. I will be more than happy to participate in an RPG with you and Maedhros, dear Magnus. Let me know what you wish and I will seek to deliver it to you.

Peace to all of you.

By the way Ulari, it is very immature to storm off a RPG and then come back and demand your place back when the RPG leader has already replaced you. You should have tried to work things out before leaving in a huff. Shame on you! :(

[Talierin]

Ulairi, make sure you clean out your "sent items" box too....

[Úlairi]

My apologies Grond. But, as you may or may not have deducted from a few of my posts, my PM box is full in which I did not discover the on-goings in the RPG. Therefore, I wasn't expecting my place to be taken. I was taken aback, that is all. Btw, Tal, you should write a book titled: 'The Tolkien Forum for the Computer Illiterate', because, I cannot access my Sent Items folder. Perhaps you could tell me how?

[Talierin]

Hehehe, maybe I should.....

Okay, go to your pm box, and somewheres along the top of it is a little flip-down menu. On it are three options, "Inbox", "Sent Items", and "Message Tracking". Choose the Sent Items one and click go, and you should get there!:)

[Úlairi]

Sorry Tal, I was being sarcastic. I already knew that and trust me when I say this, I am far from being Computer illeterate. However, I still think you shoudl write the book. ;)

[Talierin]

Hehehe, I knew you were! ;)

[Úlairi]

Phew, I got myself out of that one!

[chrysophalax]

Ulairi, will you please keep your discussions/comments here instead of in the RPG?? I had a proposal for you. If you still want to participate,PM me at the Lotronline forum where hopefully your PM box works! I am Tindomerel there. I had thought everything finished. Please let's not delay everything further! And please delete ALL of your posts as you can see we've tried to start over.

[Grond]

Lions and Tigers and Bears... Oh MY!!!

It appears that the RPG#36 - Redemption has disappeared. What happened?

[Ice Man]

I don't know. What was this topic about in first place?

[Grond]

Okay, I've found the RPG but now I don't have time to repost. Chrys will have to begin my character and I will pick him up in a week. Sorry but I'm on my way out the door right now. Peace to all and as the greatest actor of all time said in his monumental blockboster of a movie...."I'll be back!!!" :);)

[Úlairi]

Looks like I've been left out in the cold. :(

[Zale]

Glad I missed all that, really!
So is the RP back in working order now, then?

[chrysophalax]

Yes Zale, post away! Ulairi, read my last post!

[Úlairi]

I just did and I will accept your proposal. As for my PM Box here, all is well, it is up and running efficiently once more so you can PM away!!! Do I get to be a bad guy? Do I, do I, do I, do I???

[chrysophalax]

Yay! Grond is back! I now release Herugurth into his capable hands!

[Grond]

Grond.... ready, willing and able... reporting for duty. :)

[Úlairi]

I am also ready willing and able. Grond, why won't you post in my thread?

[EverEve]

Maybe I missed it, cuz i havent checked the RPG yet, but who are ya gonna be Ulairi?

[chrysophalax]

He's going to be your worst nightmare! Other than Magnus, of course!:D

[Snaga]

Question: what year in the Third Age is the RP taking place in? Important to know I would say!:)

[Úlairi]

I personally believe that it is set in the SA.

[Snaga]

I hope not. That will blow my post referring to Gil-Galad. That's the sort of thing we need to know, or we will all confuse the hell out of each other. Eriador changes a lot through the Second and Third Ages.

[chrysophalax]

Third Age shortly before The Hobbit. Thanks Snaga, for the nice comments on this RP in Entmoot!!

[chrysophalax]

Um, NIL? 30? DANG!!

[Úlairi]

Ah! So it is the TA!

[chrysophalax]

Am loving the posts! You guys are the best! Many thanks to Grond for giving the RP a much needed shot in the arm!

[Úlairi]

Chyro, want me to post?

[chrysophalax]

Zale, please read my last post and compare it with your last one. thanks!

[chrysophalax]

OK, this is going to be getting complicated folks, so PLEASE read each others posts, I beseech you!

[chrysophalax]

Can we start moving East? Staying North of the Shire if at all possible...

[Úlairi]

And it has finally happened, I'm out of the RPG. *sigh* Oh well, no big deal.

[chrysophalax]

HeloooOOOOooo? Anybody out there?

[Elfarmari]

I see Ulairi has left the RPG, and as he was thinking about a character for me to play, I am wondering who I should ask now. Could anyone help me?

[Maedhros]

Yep, ask chrysophalax.

[Úlairi]

Haven't seen you for a while Maehdros!

[Snaga]

Just a quick note about location and travelling etc...

I personally get really disorientated when we pay no attention to where we are, whether we are moving or not etc. It bugs the hell out of me in fact!

We have a lot of travelling to do, and I like doing descriptions of places so I'll try to post that sort of thing.

Here is a rough 'travel plan'... but a lot can happen along the way of course so I don't expect us to stick to this.

Day 1 - we are passing through the hills of Evendim, camp in the hills
Day 2 - descend to the Lake of Evendim
Day 3 - reach Annuminas (meet Dunedain?)
Day 4,5,6 follow R. Brandywine
Day 7,8 continue East, reach Fornost
Day 8,9,10 travel south to Bree - acquire horses?

From Bree it is 14 days on foot, or 7 on horse-back to Rivendell.

I will move everything right along to the next point where something interesting is about to happen... I will rely on our esteemed co-authors to let me know where that is!:D Or equally if someone wants to divert from this basic plan, let me know.

Hope thats OK with everyone.

[chrysophalax]

Excellent summation Snaga! My thanks! As to the Dunedain, you are correct! They will be your next "stop on the tour" so to speak!

[chrysophalax]

Elessar and Elfarmari will be joining us as Rangers for a time! Yay!

[Elfarmari]

Hi! I just posted my rp profile; I will be Barahir Glingal Galaddur.

[chrysophalax]

Greetings, most noble Barahir!

[Zale]

OK. I'm sorry for my lengthy absence folks; I have no excuse and I beg and grovel shamelessly for your most merciful forgiveness.
I'll be posting again from now on:cool: .

[chrysophalax]

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

[Úlairi]

LOL Magnus. Zale, I forgive you.

[Zale]

*still grovelling* thank you,thank you!

[chrysophalax]

More that forgiven my friend!:D

[Elfarmari]

When do I come in? After tomorrow afternoon I won't be back until saturday night (I'm doing a service project thing), so if I miss my first appearance, feel free to use my character.

[Snaga]

Quite soon I think, since we are nearing Annuminas now. :)

[¤-Elessar-¤]

Yes, I am with her, and need to know how to make my first post. (I usually put quite a bit of work into the first one :D) Shall we meet you outside of the city, or pull you into an allyway or something? I am fairly sure I can work with just about anything.

[chrysophalax]

Ah, Elessar! I can see we can expect great things! If you can manage to catch one of my Elves at unawares, feel free to grab and question him/her but expect confrontation in any case! Basically they're just passing through so don't go too hard on them, unless you want mire than you bargained for! Some of them tend to be more than a little confrontational! Safe passage to Bree would seem to be the order of the day, although that may not be entirely possible...good luck!

[¤-Elessar-¤]

um... was gonna reply, but now am a bit confused. If you came from the undying lands wouldn't you know that Galadriel was there? Instead of on ME? Or is this like a 3rd age RP? Need to know the age, and why you are looking for Galadriel, before I can post.

[chrysophalax]

Definitely 3rd Age! About 50 years before The Hobbit". Not looking for Galadriel...Maedhros is on a quest to find the lost sons of Dior and return them to their kin.

[Zale]

I didn't know we were in the 3rd age....Well, I do now.
I'm going on holiday from the 28th June till the 14th July; I give leave to anyone who can write well (all of you on this RP) to take control of my character while I'm away; I'll leave it to Magnus to decide who.

[Snaga]

Hey that makes it the year 2891, and Bilbo Baggins is about 9 months old!

An alternative, more interesting year to choose potentially is 2911 which was the Fell Winter. I don't know if that would add anything to the plot, bearing in mind its summer at present. I will leave that to our esteemed co-authors to ponder.

But the 'lie of the land' is that:
- Smaug is in possession of Erebor
- The north kingdom has ended nearly 1000 years ago
- The Necromancer is still in Dol Guldur, and a shadow hangs over the surrounding lands
- Orcs from the Misty Mountains are a recurrent menace in Eriador
- The Old Took is 101 years old!
- Ecthelion father of Denethor is steward of Gondor. The White Tree of Minas Tirith has been dead for 40 years.

[Úlairi]

True snaga1, true.

[¤-Elessar-¤]

hmm.... alright. My character will be basically my regular RP character, except for the whole "Heir of Isildur" thingy. And all other titles, of course. I will simply be a Ranger who was fathered by the mysterious Maglor, to spice things up...

[chrysophalax]

Ok Zale...let's see, that still gived you 2 weeks to post in right?

Snaga, step into my office please....

[Zale]

That's right; there's no immediate worry, I just thought I'd tell you all in advance so you could sort things out.

[Úlairi]

Into your office?

[Ice Man]

The PM office. :D

[Úlairi]

I see now. Cheers Arc.:D

[chrysophalax]

Arcajoooooooo! Wherefore art thou?

[Elfarmari]

I will be leaving tomorrow morning for a retreat, and will not be back until sunday night; so I won't be able to post until monday at the earliest.

[chrysophalax]

Thanks, Elf! I've got your back!

[chrysophalax]

Look alive people! You're about to lose your first member!

All Elves and newbies can relax!

[Turgon]

Elessar what's with the crazy weapon? Can we at least try to keep this RP true to the spirit of Tolkien's ME?

As for the brigands wetting their pants... I'm afraid Turig's never even heard of you. Sorry fella!

[Elfarmari]

I agree with Turgon. Maybe this is just me, but I doubt Rangers would carry weapons like that. Also, unless Elessar's character has two names, the elves already know his name: Alfirin.

[¤-Elessar-¤]

How could they already know my name? Oh well. And the weapons really aren't that far off, just like curved swords, but I'll get rid of 'em if you wan't me to.

[Elfarmari]

I pm'd you asking your name,and told them your name was Alfirin.

[chrysophalax]

I am desperately hoping that some else (Maedhros) will post before I have my snack!!

Thanks to Turgon, Elf and Snaga for defending the integrity of Redemption!

[Maedhros]

Well, I have not replied because I don't know exactly what to say? I'm still thinking and i have lost my internet con. at home (temporarily), so i can only post at work now.

[chrysophalax]

Ah. Rats! *resorts to Plan B*

[¤-Elessar-¤]

ok, yea. I remember now. I had forgotten what I told you :D I wish I could remember what that name meant...

anyways, um... in Magnus' last post, our horses ran, but were we currently riding them? And if so, where, pray tell, did we go.

[chrysophalax]

Post edited Elessar! And Elfarmari, that's the funniest post I've read in awhile! Alfirin didn't see how Henrick died??? I'll try to be MUCH more obvious next time!!

[Elfarmari]

I meant in what manner Henrick died; not how he was killed.

[chrysophalax]

Has anyone seen and/or heard from Eve or Zale?? Need to make some decisions here....

[Turgon]

Okay I guess we should head to Annuminas - it's not that far and the rangers keep small shallow-drafted boats there for journeys across Lake Evendim and so on... what the Ranger didn't tell you about the boats? those sneaky no-good... anyway they will speed our journey along quite nicely.

[Ecthelion]

Hope you don't mind, but I joined this Rp.:D

[chrysophalax]

OK...somebody stop me.....WHAT in HADES is GOING ON HERE?????

I declare this RPG CLOSED, until somebody tells me how the Rangers let THIS happen!!!!!!!!

Even Ulairi couldn't shut Redemption down......I canNOT BELIEVE this!

[Maedhros]

Nain, why don't you explain yourself. You could have pm chrysophalax with your desire to join, and the proper preparations would have been made.

[¤-Elessar-¤]

...what did I let happen?!?!?! wait, maybe I should go and check the RP... yea...

[¤-Elessar-¤]

ok...um...personnaly, I don't see nain joining as something to yell about, if you do not want him here you can just have a mod delete the post... really, it's not like life and death or anything.

And, dang it, I thought we were past Annuminas... I thought we were somewhere between there and Fornost. oh well, it's not like I knew about the boats anyways...

[Elfarmari]

I'm confused:confused:
What did the rangers let happen? I didn't know we had boats, and I didn't know nain was joining.

[Ecthelion]

I feel so hated, all Tom wanted to do was have some adventure.......:( Fine if you guys are that mad at me how about I go kill myself in that thread, does that sound good to you? Or do you want me to live? Go ahead tell me I am at your disposal.

[Maedhros]

Nain, I'm not mad at you. Really. It's just that you surprised Chry. when you appeared spontaneously. I'm glad that you want to participate in this rpg.

[Ecthelion]

I'm glad someone thinks that;)

[Turgon]

Turig sat on a rock, tapping his fingers impatiently on the haft of his spear... he was quite pleased with the black sheen the dragon-fire had burned into the wood. Mmm... when this quest is over I think I'll start a little bandit crew of my own. Turig Blackheart and the Bad Boys? No, no, that won't do at all! Turig Blackspear and the Blackhearts? Maybe... What's the hold up anyway? Let's just throw that confusticated hobbit in the river and have done with it... that's what we would have done in the old days. Ah, the old days! Turig drifted off into a happy dream of dark deeds, an evil smile playing across his lips...

[chrysophalax]

I have sent PM's to both Ciryaher and Talierin. With any luck, REDEMPTION resumes on the morrow!

[chrysophalax]

TO ME, my Most Excellent Cast! REDEMPTION LIVES!!

[chrysophalax]

Um, Elessar? Are these guys Rangers?

[¤-Elessar-¤]

yea, I thought the whole 'ranger safehouse' thing would had caught on, sorry.

[chrysophalax]

No problem! Snaga talked me through it!

[Snaga]

You are no longer in the undying lands, sickness will be a factor from now on.A small point here I guess. But I don't think that elves are subject to this sort of illness as a rule. I suppose it might be possible, but elves dont get ill very often. Just my opinion. I guess it would be handy if some learned person could tell me if I'm right!:)

[Maedhros]

But I don't think that elves are subject to this sort of illness as a rule. I suppose it might be possible, but elves dont get ill very often. Just my opinion.
You're right Snaga1. The fear of the elves is very strong and tought the hroar of the elves is subject to the weariness of ME, for them to be sick is highly unilkely. I can't seem to remember the case of a sick elf in ME. (I can only think of Aredhel, but she was poisoned by Eol.)

[Snaga]

That's what I thought too. No edit is required though, as its only a characters opinion.:)

[¤-Elessar-¤]

hmm... I always thought that they could, but I guess I was wrong. Oh well, I was just trying to paint a grim picture of the ruins and the lands.

[chrysophalax]

Slight problem people, Maedhros is gone for 2 weeks and Nil is moving to Japan! Help! We to re-structure and do it quick! There appear to be 4-5 consistent posters here and we have 9 roles....suggestions?

[¤-Elessar-¤]

uh, a bit off of you'r subject, but...

You may know that I am pushing myself away from all RPs, but this one shall be an eception, at least for a while. I will continue the camio roll, but will not stay in for the whole story. Once the company is safely out of Eraidor I will leave it.

[chrysophalax]

Elessar, my thanks to you for all your fine posts. I'm not sure what triggered this, but whatever the reason, I really appreciate the time you've had with us. We will miss you. MAGNUS

[Khamul]

I am taking over Zale's role as Caimare. I already have permission, and am looking forward to participating.

[chrysophalax]

With all these cast changes let's have an update shall we?


Turgon: Turig

Sting: Herugurth (until further notice)

Snaga: Earitila, Eve (until further notice)

Elessar: Alfirin

Elfarmari: Barahir (hopefully)

Chrysophalax: Magnus, (Nil, Maedhros, until further notice)

[¤-Elessar-¤]

welcome, Sting. Look foreward to RPing with you :)

[Khamul]

Thanks Elessar. Chryss you sure are busy with the rpg.:)

[chrysophalax]

TELL ME! BTW, Sting...PM me, OK??

[Zale]

Right! I'm back now, all tanned and ready. Sting, your handling of my character was masterful, but I'm sorry: I want him back! I won't post tonight 'cause I haven't got enough time, but I will soon.

[chrysophalax]

Sting, I hereby dub thee Herugurth!

[Khamul]

Ok, keeping a guy on his toes.;)

[chrysophalax]

ALWAYS!!!:D

[chrysophalax]

Someone else post? Please?

[Snaga]

OK will do!

Actually I wrote a post and was really happy with it but then a PC problem lost it before I got it posted up:(

[chrysophalax]

Uh, Zale? Nil's bleeding to death....

[chrysophalax]

Whoa! We need Earitila to heal Nil..we can't stay here...ACK!


Sting, you're getting the hang of Herugurth! Good job!

[Khamul]

Im used to playing that type of character, but thanks.:D

[¤-Elessar-¤]

Hey, sometimes my posts may be a bit hard to follow, or you might not quite get why I put certain things in. If there is a problem, just as here, it's no problem with me. :)

[Khamul]

Elessar, you may want to edit your post. Kinda contradictory to what Snaga said.

Snaga: Eäritila looked upon Maedhros and said:

Elessar: And as Eäritila adressed Maedhros his eyes were not upon her, but upon Alfirin.

[chrysophalax]

Elessar, re-read the first sentence of your last post. Who are we talkin' about here?

[¤-Elessar-¤]

Sting- All edited up

Chrys- uh... which who? Snaga's character looked at Maedhros, and Maedhros looked away to me, lying on the stretcher.

[¤-Elessar-¤]

Um... Chrysophalax, why, in your last post, did you say "Alfirin!"? Sorry, I just couldn't follow why his name came up.

[Snaga]

Yep I agree Elessar.

Alfirin is wounded, and not saying much, so its not right.

[Khamul]

Hey, sorry guys, but I am going on vacation from July 23 to the 31st, and will be unable to participate in Despair. I will try to go to a library and check my mail or my pm's pretty quick, so if you need to get in touch with me, I will try to get it.:)

[chrysophalax]

Post edited...hopefully everyone will heal quickly and we can head for Bree?!

[¤-Elessar-¤]

I guess I'll have to do that, won't I. Well, as long as there is an awkward moment I guess I can overview what is going on w/ my character. Basically, he and his mother were thrown out by the Dunedian. This happened after the mother was knocked up, and not by her husband (Maglor did it!). However, for some reason, this was not found out until after Alfirin was nearly grown, we'll say fifteen or so. When this happened his step-father was mysteriously murdered, and Alfirin was found standing over him, covered in his blood. Without trial they were banished. Alfirin's whole drive is to find the true killer of his father, and he had suspected it to be a member of teh outlaw band. The pendant was given to him by his mother who died in the bad winter (if it has passed yet...), he only recently learned it's meaning.

[chrysophalax]

OK, people...put out the word! We need characters for the Silver Dragon Inn in Bree and we need them like yesterday! Elbereth is our innkeeper..my thanks to Snaga for that, btw! But we need people , atmosphere!, shady dealings!! Quickly!

[chrysophalax]

[Nimawae's hope]

Is this where we sign up for the Silver Dragon RPG? Sorry I haven't been in this place very often. (If I am in the wrong place someone please tell me where to go)

Who can I be?

[chrysophalax]

We need to get everyone together ASAP, so that we can discuss where to from here...

And..we ARE all at the Inn are, we not?

[¤-Elessar-¤]

well, you could go west to Rivendale, and see Elrond. You could go to see Saruman, the Istari. Or you could trek on over to Lothlorien. Those are about it.

[Maedhros]

I hope that my last post is consistent with all the details of the story. If not, let me know.

[¤-Elessar-¤]

what's going on? The RP seems to have screeched to a halt.

[Elbereth]

Don't be hasty Elessar...it's just been a slow week.

*in a very eeerie voice* "If you wait...they shall come" :o

Hehehe...anyway, my excuse for not posting is simple...it is too darn hot in NYC to do anything creative. I'm sweltering here!!!! However, it is suppose to be cooler this weekend (I'm preying the weather men are correct) so I will post something then.

[¤-Elessar-¤]

your crazy! It's never hot in NYC! Down here it's like 96 degrees! And then we have like 70% humidity on top of that! 90 in Arkansas feels like 110 in nevada!... *stops his rant....

[Elbereth]

Yikes...I didn't think you would get so emotional about that!

I guess we northerners are not used to the heat and humidity...my thick northern blood can't take it!!! (& I'm originally from Maine...so I have more of an excuse...it rarely gets above 88 degrees in the summer in Maine!) I'm melting here in the city...Melting!!! Oh what a world...what a world!!! :D :p :D ;)

PS...it does get very hot and humid in NYC...and the heat from the subway grates, the reflection from the glass towers, smog and car exhaust makes the heat and humidity so much worse. Watch the Marilyn Monroe Movie..."Seven Year Itch"...it depicts a typical hot NYC summer perfectly.

[Snaga]

Pish! You guys don't know how lucky you are. I'm wondering if we will 80 degrees at all this summer.:rolleyes:

[¤-Elessar-¤]

sorry, it was really bad that day... my windows were fogging up and stuff... it was horrible.

[chrysophalax]

Excuse me........can we all get together and move beyond the Inn? There are 2 choices I can throw out...Rivendell so Maedhros can attempt to explain to Elrond the purpose of his quest, or heading straight toward Mirkwood....thoughts?

[Turgon]

Personally I think Maedhros would recieve short shrift in The House of Elrond... bit of bad blood between them if I remember rightly (I'm thinking of the Sons of Fëanor and the attack on the Havens of Sirion here) but then Maglor did succour Elrond and Elros after the battle so maybe I'm wrong - still it could make for some good RPing?!?

[Snaga]

I am afraid I will be unable to post until Tuesday. Lots going on.......

[Maedhros]

Where is Chrys?:confused:

[Khamul]

She comes back the 12th iirc.

[¤-Elessar-¤]

Is everyone gone? Lets get this moving, if at all possible.

[Maedhros]

Ok, but didn't you say that there is another "dream" that you're going to have?

[¤-Elessar-¤]

;) already had it

[Maedhros]

Ok. But i thought that you said 3 dreams.

[Elfarmari]

Finally!!! I'm back! My profuse apologies for my long absense; my account has not been working for that past month and a half. I can't post anything tonight b/c I have to go to bed, but I will try to tomorrow!

[EverEve]

Egads!!! SO MUCH HAS CHANGED!!! sorry i left like that...i was in the middle of a move...who wants to fill me in??

[EverEve]

er.....guyz? anybody???

[¤-Elessar-¤]

sorry for the late response... not so much time to post with 4 hours of homework a night. Anyway, there are no more dreams. I don't have the willpower to make anything else up.

[chrysophalax]

I'm back also! YAY!! On to Imladris, people!

[EverEve]

Hey, um, Chryso! What do you want me to do..if you still want me in this that is...

[chrysophalax]

Of course! Get your tail back in there, girl!

[Elfarmari]

I'm still thinking about how to bring my character back in, but Barahir will re-join the quest at Rivendell, or outside of Rivendell. Maybe I could go talk to Elrond first? Any ideas?

[chrysophalax]

Why don't you pick us up outside of Bree?

[Elfarmari]

I guess that would work, I'll try to come in at the appropriate time. I think I'm just going to say I managed to convince the Dunedain that Alfirin was not doing anything wrong and deserved a second chance, without giving them any details of our quest, of course, and that I managed to slip away and hide outside of Bree waiting for you. does that sound ok, Elessar? I was thinkng about getting myself exiled too, but that might not work in Rivendell. . .

[¤-Elessar-¤]

Elrond and The dunedian don't nessisarily have to get along. I think I posted somewhere, or else I thought it, that Elrond befriended me as a young man. So that should work good for everyone except Maedhros, who will receive a most unwelcoming. lol

[EverEve]

alright i know this is off-topic...but what happened to my horse, windrider?

[Khamul]

Well, it's gone I guess.

[EverEve]

oh...ok...:(

[Elfarmari]

If it's ok, with everyone, I'm going to be exiled by the Dunedain now too, for travelling with Alfirin. Maybe we can get both of us reinstated at the end of the quest.
Is the company going to be travelling on horseback? This will influence how exactly I meet you.

[chrysophalax]

Yes...look at Turgon's last post.

[Elfarmari]

I know Elrond would not be thrilled to meet Maedhros, but when Elrond and Elros were captured by Maglor, they became friends. I'm not sure if Elrond would have met Maedhros then or not, but he might have. Are there going to be more people joining the rp in Rivendell, or are we just providing the random elves?

[chrysophalax]

O yes! We'll be having an esteemed guest play the part of Elrond, not to worry!;)

[chrysophalax]

Excellent news! Lord Dengen-Goroth will be joining us as Elrond! Should be interesting!!

[Maedhros]

Sorry to intrude like this but who is Dengen-Goroth?
I'm not much of a follower of the RPG.
Hopefully, I will post next week.;)

[EverEve]

dengen goroth is the dark lord of somewhere...isnt he? its been a while since ive talked to him...im pretty sure he is though...

See how much Ive forgotten while i was away...I can even remeber where Dengen's kingdom is!

[¤-Elessar-¤]

... the Lord Dengen Goroth is lord of the Mornclaur Federation. It encompasses the entire east and south, from the northern mountains, to Dol Guldor, to Ithilen (all of it, a new accomplishment ;)) and everything south and east of there. He is the supreme Dark Lord of Arda, a Maiar who surved Morgoth himself.

[EverEve]

HAH! I knew it! Ask Ellesar anything about anyone, and he'll tell you anythign and everything because he actually remembers things...unlike me!:)

he has ithilien now? really?

[chrysophalax]

ARGH!!! I hate trolls! Elessar......

[EverEve]

officially confuzzled:confused: as usual :D

[Elfarmari]

I'm confused too, I thought Alfirin was healed. Apparently I missed something.

[EverEve]

Im gonna go back and read the thread...i missed sooo much, i dont know who some of the peoplez are...NOW THATS BADD!

[chrysophalax]

Thought he was too...ACK!

[¤-Elessar-¤]

1. yes, trolls. I would say that that means we are somewhere near the place where the dwarves will eventually see their own trolls, the ones that are turned to stone.

2. I didn't recall being healed... oh well, besides, not even by elven craft can I be healed that quickly. I seem to remember being buried by bloodthirsty orcs... And riding doesn't do much to help wounds, and I took that into account. I should be fine after everyone does their talking to Elrond (by then I might have time to post more often...)

[chrysophalax]

Sting...I need you to resume Caimare if you can. Zale appears to have fallen of the edge of the world.

[Khamul]

Ok, I will get on it as soon as I can get online at the apartment. Ill need to read some of the last pages of the rpg before I can post though, havent been keeping up with it.

[¤-Elessar-¤]

what's with all of this nonsense about a vision?

His eyes darted around in quick reconization, and then up, to find that it was just past dusk.

The Troll Shaws are ahead. I awoke, and recognised that part of the forests. You are mostly from across the seas! It would not do good if you were to stumble upon a group of trolls in the middle of the night... geeze... some of you have no appriciation for a small plot twist...

[Elfarmari]

If it wasn't a vision, why did you write the warning in a form only Maedhros could read? Wouldn't something else come to mind first?

[chrysophalax]

SMALL plot twist? Elessar, you've led us through some of the more...interesting twists in this RPG. We can only hang on for the ride!

[¤-Elessar-¤]

Elfamari-... perhaps from now on I should make my posts shorter... perhaps then people would read what they say? Perhaps?

Chrys- That's what I'm hear for! Dammit!

[EverEve]

LOL!! What would happen to this RPG if Elessar wasnt here? Im assuming it would be a tad bit more boring...GO YOU ELESSAR~~~

[¤-Elessar-¤]

I'm sorry for my outbirst everyone. Truely sorry. I had just found out about a rather angering set of posts, that I was not told about, at a different forum. I really am sorry.

[chrysophalax]

No worries Elessar. I know whereof you speak and am as outraged as you...

[Maedhros]

No worries Elessar. I know whereof you speak and am as outraged as you...
?????????????????????
I will post soon, it's just that i have been super busy

[EverEve]

Er...i dont know whatz going on, but...SORRY ELESSAR!

So, neway...

[chrysophalax]

Happy Birthday, Elessar! Hope it's a good one!

Let's all continue , shall we?

[Maedhros]

If someone wants to posts then by all means do so!:)

[chrysophalax]

I concur...where is everyone??

Don't fear the Dragon, eh?! Hmmmmmm...

[Maedhros]

Don't fear the Dragon, eh?!
Not as much as the dread of his pasts deeds.:(
He was the first and noblest son of the first and noblest prince of the Noldor. He was indeed so powerful that only his great grace could temper his step.

[chrysophalax]

Nay, Maedhros! Save your discourse for your debates...congrats on your defeat of Gothmog btw!

Nice post Elfamari, very nice!

[Maedhros]

Nay, Maedhros! Save your discourse for your debates... :(
But that was very cool, my dear chrys.

[chrysophalax]

But of course!:cool: Come now, people, we're working up to some good stuff here!

[chrysophalax]

Nice touch, Elessar! Like the banner idea a LOT!!

[Turgon]

Yes, nice touch Elessar! The Star of Fëanor shines again above the fields of Middle-earth!

So are we ready to move on? I don't think we finalized our destination - we've not heard ever a whisper of Eluréd and Elurin since Maedhros' return... I suggest seeking the advise of one of the Istari... Radagast might be a good choice... not much escapes the notice of his birds I hear, and Rhosgobel is just a short hop across the Misty Mountains... what can possibly go wrong?

[chrysophalax]

Um, Turgon.....shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

[Ancalagon]

Could I just say that this is the best RP I have read in a long time, possibly because it appeals to my own style of writing more than any other. Excellent stuff all, keep it up, I want to read more:D

[Khamul]

Ahh, forgot about this. Dont kill me Chryss...:( :eek: :)

[chrysophalax]

:D Coming from another Dragon, Ancalagon, that means a lot!!!As for YOU Sting.......forgot, eh?!?
Then get your rear-end back here!!

[Khamul]

:o :o Coming, coming, now if I can get rid of all these stupid projects for school, all will be dandy.

[chrysophalax]

*drums claws on the tiled floor* Excuses, excuses....;)

[Elfarmari]

If I don't post very often for the next week or so, don't be surprised. I've been having trouble with migrains, so when I don't have a headache I have to catch up with schoolwork.
