View Full Version : Mithril Knights RP (private): Discussion

okay-heres the discussion thread of our Mithril Knights RP. Heres the story:
Gondor is constantly fighting orcs that assail Minas Tirith. These orcs are bigger, stronger, and more fearsome than uruk-hai. The Mithril Knights, who have a hidden fort in Ithilien see the "uruk-ghash (orcs of fire) running by their fort towards gondor. Their army is all over the place though, so they cant attack them. Every night, heavy footsteps are heard a few feet away from the fort. Every night gondor is attacked. The brother hood of knights decide to ride to the east to spy on these creatures. One night, while they are riding close to mordor there are 2 flashes of blue light in the mountains. A great tower is raised there. In that tower thousands of uruk-ghash are created. The mithril knights spy some more and find that the mysterious blue wizards have raised the tower and started this. The men of harad and umbar and khand have joined legions with them. The story starts with the brotherhood observing the blue wizards raising the tower and thousands of orcs pouring out of the mountain. Each time one comes out a blast of blue fire can be seen in the mountain (hence the name uruk-ghash). The brotherhood then ride to gondor to inform the king of his peril. Messangers ride from gondor to get aid from any who will come.

It is one of the sharpest swords ever made. and it will shine with a blue/white flame in his wrath or grow dim in his despair. It also guides it's blade towards evil while in combat and shies away from allies.

Nenya Evenstar

Yes Sir! :D Ok, I've edited my post to fit. I thought that Eliot was a Mithril Knight, and that's why I went along with the whole Riders of Rohan thing.

Galdor
09-21-2002, 08:09 PM
hey, I just thought of a creation. It's a Peregrine Falcon that can shape shift. It can change from the size of a normal peregrine falcon to when standing coming up to about the height of Galdor's shoulder. it communicates with Galdor telepathically. Making a great scout when small and a powerful fighter when big. What do you guys think?
Anamatar IV
09-21-2002, 08:30 PM
sounds good!
Anamatar IV
09-21-2002, 10:02 PM
okay-it seems that we are using other beings to freely. Im happy with the chicken riders and everything else as long as it is in moderate form but the eagles is something im not sure about. After the destruction of sauron eagles flew into the west aswell. I do not remember where i heard that but i remember it. Its good that youre all thinking but itd be kind of easy to win if we had eagles and thousands of chicken riders. Right? Also the uruk-ghash are brave warriors. they dont exactly flee. If you want a creation like a falcon or something like that please have it in moderate numbers. Like galdors. Only one. ill let you go until 30 of not-easily-killed creations. The minis have been dying so id say theyre an exception. Thank you.
Éomond
09-22-2002, 01:02 AM
Anamatar, where did you get the idea that there where a thousand Chicken Riders? I posted somewhere that [including me] there are 11 Chicken Riders! Okay? 11! you see that!!! 11!!!!!!!!!
Éomond
09-22-2002, 01:20 AM
Let's hope this works. Here's a picture of me riding my Chicken Shadowdax.
(if any of you are FF, and you guessed this is a Chocobos, then you guessed rite! This picture was perfect. And it's one of the earlyest pics. of FFXI!)
And remember, there's only 11 Chicken Riders! Not 1,000 but 11!
Anamatar IV
09-22-2002, 01:42 AM
im not talking about the chicken riders. Those are fine. The eagles are what got me shifting in my seat.

Don't be so upset just because they don't want you anymore....
It's just because you don't want to spill your blood for their cause anymore...:p
Nenya Evenstar
09-23-2002, 02:08 AM
Ummm... Is it just me or is everything happening in fast motion? I mean, in actuality it probably takes at least a day or two to reach the bridge by Osgiliath, and it takes quite a few days to get to Ithilien, and many days to reach Mordor. It just doesn't seem all that realistic to me...
Anamatar IV
09-23-2002, 02:31 AM
well its about 1000 years after LOTR so probably many more bridges were built. Also id imagine that while elves dwelt in ithilien they enlarged it. Also where did we say we were at mordor? The tower was being raised in ithilien.
Nenya Evenstar
09-23-2002, 02:47 AM
You and Isildur went to Mordor to check things out at the very beginning. Yeah, more bridges could have easily been built, but Ithilien was directly on the other side of the Anduin in any given direction. It couldn't be enlarged east or west because it was surrounded by mountains and water... but anyway, I was just suggesting that we have things happen a little bit slower... It seems kind of hard to have a bunch of armies be made and then reach Minas Tirith within the next hour... ;)
Anamatar IV
09-23-2002, 03:01 AM
its hard to keep up with so many knights. Its a lighthearted rp. We can stretch it a bit. :)
Nenya Evenstar
09-23-2002, 03:08 AM
Yeah, true. I'll try not to be so picky... ;)
Anamatar IV
09-23-2002, 03:12 AM
Some people have been refering the uruk-ghash as diferent species than orcs. They are the exact same things. The wizards only make uruk-ghash orcs.

Yes, but they met me in Ithillien, and we all went to the place where the other tower was built.
But things ARE happening very quickly. Bridges or no bridges, it still takes a bit more than an hour to reach Ithillien from Minas Tirith, or for the Orcs to reach it so quickly...
And, Anamatar, you never said that this is happening 1000 years after the War of the Rings!!!
Anamatar IV
09-23-2002, 09:33 PM
theres a thread called the current rp timeline. Ciryaher states that the rps take place around 1000 years after wards.
Melian Le Fay
09-23-2002, 10:14 PM
Really?! I didin't know about that! duh, Milena! don't worry, i won't make any more of these stupid comments1:p
Anamatar IV
09-25-2002, 09:00 PM
time to vote. Me and nenya posted replies at the same time on the rp. Which should we follow?
A-anamatar over heard isildur. "Tis a spy. A spy from mordor. A bird of great speed and of small stature." anamatar stopped for a moment. The other knights did so as well. He took out his short knife and started walking more slowly.
B-Nenya looked in the direction Isildur was gazing and stopped suddenly. "Be quiet!" She hissed to those around her. "Do not move!" In a whisper she answered Isildur, "It is a shape clothed in black and with a face that is a pale white. It has two horns coming out of its head upon which I can see blood." Nenya grimaced. "Its eyes are an evil yellow and appear to be looking for something. It has a mouth which hangs open and vampire-like teeth." Nenya shuddered. "Do not look too long into those eyes! They are death!" She turned ever so slowly around to the company and motioned for them all to hide. She seemed very concerned and wary
Lets not post on it until we reach this here agreement. ready...set...VOTE!
Galdor
09-25-2002, 09:13 PM
My vote goes for Nenya's post.
Anamatar IV
09-25-2002, 09:19 PM
okay:
1-0. What will we do with this THING if we do decide on nenyas?
Melian Le Fay
09-25-2002, 09:37 PM
I voted for Nenya's version!
What should we do....? you mean, should we escape from it, or kill it, or tie it and interrogate it...?;) :p
Anamatar IV
09-25-2002, 09:41 PM
well i mean are we gonna do battle or just let it pass? If we do do battle are we gonna just fight this thing alone or fight uruk-ghash aswell? If we do fight it alone are we gonna kill it or is it gonna escape? If it escapes what do we do then. We need options. 2-0. So much for my spy bird :rolleyes:
Galdor
09-25-2002, 10:21 PM
I'd say lets kill it. And maby Nenya has a plan for it. We'll just have to wait and see what she says.
Nenya Evenstar
09-25-2002, 10:47 PM
Ugh... do I feel like I just commited a crime or what! I feel pretty bad.... I actually thought that maybe the creature could see us, we could try to kill it but it would get away and then report our presence to the blue wizards. We would then not be completely unexpected when we reach Mordor, and that way we could run into some messy stuff.... maybe the Blue Wizards could even be creating some more of its kind.
Anamatar IV
09-25-2002, 10:56 PM
no theres a plan. Ill delte my spy posts and nenya delete the ooc stuff.
Anamatar IV
10-05-2002, 12:22 AM
okay how about the wizards breeds dragons and balrogs as well?
Galdor
10-05-2002, 03:06 AM
I was thinking about using dragons myself. but if we use Balrogs you have to remember that Balrogs are not breed. They are Maiar like Gandalf is, and almost all of them have been killed.
Anamatar IV
10-05-2002, 03:31 AM
wizards!!!! They can make balrogs!!! Balrogs, dragons, orcs, evil men,...things. Do you think thats a good enough army? Whered you get to galdor in therp? i think youve ditched us!
Legolas_lover12
10-05-2002, 03:33 AM
well i'm not in the RP so maybe i don't really have an opinion in this but no balrogs. makes it too complicated.
Anamatar IV
10-05-2002, 03:36 AM
whats complicated about balrogs? I mean really? just like dragons. Hew a few times and theyre dead. And ive already sort of included one in the story. So youre right. You dont have an opinion on this :p ;) :rolleyes:
Galdor
10-05-2002, 03:49 AM
Have you read the Sil? Balrogs are Maia that served Morgoth and took upon them selves the form of fire demon, just like the Wizard took upon themselves the form of old men when they came to ME. And I just posted in the rp, Galdor is standing right next to you now.
Anamatar IV
10-05-2002, 03:55 AM
yes i read the quenta sil. But orcs came from elves! Now the wizards have orcs being made in a mysterious way and maybe they have made a few balrogs that way too. Remeber how we saw some wizards start to raise a tower? huh huhuhuhu?:rolleyes:
Nenya Evenstar
10-05-2002, 04:00 AM
Ummm... it's just my opinion, but I really think we should keep the Balrog stuff limited here. If it is a true Balrog all of us will be dead before too long. First of all, it's quite impossible to make Balrog's as they are actually spirits (or Maia, if you will), and it's not possible to recreate Maia. Dragons, too, are a little iffy. Morgoth first made the dragons, and I think that it would be extremely hard for a mere Maia to make something equally as well as his master. If we must have something like that, then at least use your imagination and create something different and with some flaws of some sort so that this RP isn't completely unrealistic. I find it hard that we can create new things (it's fine if we say that we twist already existing creatures), but to create things like dragons and Balrogs is almost impossible. Sauron didn't even make any new creatures for himself! He only twisted! Just my opinion though.... I don't want to step on anyones toes, just tell me to be quiet and I'll be happy, or just listen and agree.
Galdor
10-05-2002, 04:06 AM
We already have the balrog thing going so I'd say lets just say it was the least of the balrogs, there for making not quite so powerful. And no Nenya we all wouldn't be dead, a elf took on Gothmog the greatest of all the balrogs alone and killed him, though he was killed himself. But this isn't Gothmog we're fighting here, and Galdor is a powerful elf and Anamatar is a pretty powerful man. So I think we have a good chance of killing it and living to tell about it.
Anamatar IV
10-05-2002, 04:06 AM
probably right. how about 1 balrog and 1 dragon? Sound good? Or maybe 2 dralrogs! :D ;) :rolleyes:
Nenya Evenstar
10-05-2002, 04:10 AM
True, true, Galdor! Ok, one Balrog two dragons (for Anamatar's sake). :D
Anamatar IV
10-05-2002, 04:13 AM
what do you mean my sake? :confused: I wanted a balrogon. Or a dralrog. A combo. But that wouldnt exactly work. So we are fighting THE balrog now right? and nenya I refered to the misty hollow balrog in my last post.
Nenya Evenstar
10-05-2002, 04:24 AM
It was a joke, Anamatar! I just put that in because I was being a little, well, opinionated back there. How's this: A Balrog and two dragons (for all our sakes!)? :D
Well, you could say that Morgoth bred somesuch beast, but it never exactly came out into the open until now... it would work if we stretched it....
I guess we are fighting THE Balrog. I never did fully believe that that thing in Misty Hollow was really a Balrog, but a wizard of some sort who was able to change his outer appearance. I don't believe Balrogs have that ability. Sure they are both Maia, but I never considered the wizard person to be a Balrog. But anyway, I'm confused about what I'm supposed to do about you mentioning it....
Galdor
10-05-2002, 04:28 AM
We already have that beast thing that we fought with earlyer, so imho I don't think we should add any more unown beast from the first Age.
Nenya Evenstar
10-05-2002, 04:32 AM
I agree. The beast thing doesn't really fit into the whole scheme of not creating anything new. :rolleyes: Oh well. So we have dragons, Balrogs, weird beasts, and whatnot. It's a lighthearted RP, so it really doesn't matter.
Anamatar IV
10-05-2002, 04:40 AM
if you were taking over middle earth would YOU do it with just orcs? Even sauron had the ring wraiths. But the wizards dont have them.
Nenya Evenstar
10-05-2002, 04:49 AM
That's why we must twist creatures - not make new ones. The Ringwraiths were twisted men. We just need to think about what kind of creature these weird beast things I created were made from. That way they won't be from the First Age or anything.
Anamatar IV
10-05-2002, 04:53 AM
fine! how about a twisted walrus who came from the sea who can shoot arrows? :rolleyes: just kidding. Lets stick to 1 balrog and 2 dragons and 2 or 3 of those...things.
Nenya Evenstar
10-05-2002, 04:57 AM
lol! Ok, sounds good to me! I like that - those... things.
Legolas_lover12
10-05-2002, 02:23 PM
how mysterious:rolleyes:
(if u guys want me to stop posting here cuz i'm not in the RP then u can just tell me:(;))
Nenya Evenstar
10-05-2002, 06:26 PM
It's fine with me if you keep posting. After all, you're a Mithril Knight! :)
Anamatar IV
10-05-2002, 07:05 PM
the elves and rohirrim and dwarves have already reached gondor right? Because apparently a HUGE army with both dragons and the balrog that didnt die and many orcs has massed. An army has come up to get us so do we be held captive after a valiant fight? i think that sounds good.
Nenya Evenstar
10-05-2002, 08:33 PM
Yeah, being held captive sounds good to me! I believe that we've given the summoned peoples enough time to reach Gondor. What about Arnor? I mean, Aragorn re-established that kingdom when he became King. Should we say that men have been summoned from there too, or are they fighting their own battles over there? Perhaps we should make it so that they have to stay because I'm sure that Mordor would occupy more than one people at once....
Melian Le Fay
10-05-2002, 09:50 PM
Oh, this is just great!!! I'm gone for three days, and already you guys have entered Mordor, fought a Balrog, got injured, this one has a broken arm, the other one is unconcius... It looks like I was eating peanuts in the cave while you were fighting!!!! <grrrrrrr......>
I have an idea what that quazi-balrog could be!!! you all mentioned twisting creatures, but not inventing any new ones... Well, what about the rest of the Istari?! there were 5 of them, and the story says about only 3 of them - and the 2 rest we said to be lost somewhere in the east, and the story says nothing of their fate... so we could use that - one of them became evil, or whatever... He IS a Maia, so, he could have grat power... What do you think guys?!
and I definitely vote for being captive, we all need a rest!!!:p :D
but we must be captured by Orcs, if anyone incharge ever got his hands on us, we'd be dead!!! Orcs wouldn't know what to do with us untill they get orders, so that would keep us alive....
and NO dragons!!!! Smaug the Golden is the last of them, at least I think Tolkien wrote that somewhere... I'm not sure, but if that is true, we cannot use them, that would be aberration of his storyline...
Nenya Evenstar
10-05-2002, 10:26 PM
I think we should keep it as a Balrog since we've already killed it as one....
I believe that Eliot is captive with us, but a very good hider of weapons. He was able to hide the weapons in his cloak only because the orcs thought he was knocked out. Now he is still knocked out, and I'd imagine being carried.
Anamatar IV
10-05-2002, 11:33 PM
Eliot has our weapons, right? Just lets make this understanding first. Eliot is "knocked out" and is holding our weapons (there are only 6 swords and 1 is in his sheath.) and our packs are in the cave. Next, can we keep 1 dragon? Its already been introduced in the story. And where the bloody ell is Isildur? Stridir, any plans?
Nenya Evenstar
10-06-2002, 03:24 AM
I thought we already decided on the whole dragon thing. I was prepared to keep one (or two). Got the weapons straight, sir! :D
Galdor
10-06-2002, 04:44 AM
What am I supposed to do, any ideas? And what exactly is the machine? Is Galdor supposed to do something or just be tortured for a while until someone else does something?
Nenya Evenstar
10-06-2002, 06:29 AM
I kind of threw you into that didn't I.... I just thought you were a prime candidate as you seem to be a high elf or something like that. The orcs would hate you the most. Just torchure yourself for a bit and we'll see what happens. :D
Galdor
10-06-2002, 06:38 AM
okay, should I have Sureatsa come in and save us or just let the orcs wear themselves out trying to torture me?
Nenya Evenstar
10-06-2002, 06:44 AM
I think we need to get locked up for a night or something, and then Sureasta can come into the picture. We need to try to make our escape realistic somehow.... As it looks right now we're all as good as dead. :p So I say that we all get torchured, then Sureasta can figure out how to save us.
Anamatar IV
10-06-2002, 05:41 PM
hmhm hmm hmm hm. I dont like getting tortured:rolleyes:
Nenya Evenstar
10-06-2002, 05:50 PM
Well, ya know, it doesn't look like you have much choice.... :p
Anamatar IV
10-06-2002, 06:01 PM
TAKE THE SHE-ELF!!!!!! TAKE HER!!!!! :p when will they STOP torturing galdor? And will it be like a star wars the empire strikes back thing where after hes tortured he'll be thrown into a chamber with the rest of us?
Nenya Evenstar
10-06-2002, 06:06 PM
Oh, I'm probably going to be next - or Millena. Lets see, I need to get prepared here....
I kind of already did all that. See what you think.
Anamatar IV
10-06-2002, 06:17 PM
hey werent we wearing mithril coats of mail? Wouldnt that mean that the whips and clubs wouldnt hurt us?...Much?
Galdor
10-06-2002, 07:19 PM
We could say that they took our mithril coats off in the cave and through them aside like our weapons not realizing that they were mithril.
Anamatar IV
10-06-2002, 07:56 PM
but eliot has our weapons. Maybe they threw them onto the floor with our packs.
Galdor
10-06-2002, 08:14 PM
How Eliot be carrying five swords, daggers, knives, throwing knives, and axes without being caught by the orcs?
Nenya Evenstar
10-06-2002, 08:31 PM
I don't really know! They'll find the weapons when they torchure him though.... :D
I think that we should say they took off our coats because obviously Galdor is in pain. We'd have to redo that whole part if we said that the Mithril Coats were still there. My coat isn't Mithril, but plain old elf mail, but it'd have to go too. Maybe someone should refer to the orcs taking our mail away or something....
Anamatar IV
10-06-2002, 08:32 PM
not all the swords and dager and axes. I only said the swords:
Millena Sword
Nenyas KNIFE (smaller than a sword)
Galdors Sword
anamatar Sword
His own sheathed sword
and stridirs sword. But the orcs think he is knocked out. He can hide them by wrapping his cloak around them.

I still don't like it. six swords and a dagger is a lot to carry around without being cought. I think we should vote on it.
Anamatar IV
10-06-2002, 08:41 PM
4 swords and a dagger. his own sword is still sheathed at his side. A dagger and easily be concealed in a sleave and when swords 4 swords isnt THAT big. Eliot im assuming is a tall man and 4 swords should fit easily in his cloak. But fine. Lets vote. All for Eliot having the weapons say "I"!
Galdor
10-06-2002, 10:43 PM
hey Eliot, what is Sureatsa doing? Remember Galdor is having her simple circle over head right now and she wouldn't do anything else without clearing it with Galdor first. So tell what she is doing so I know how to have Galdor react to the situation, since he always knows what she is up to.

Hello, guys!!! I have 2 swords!!! Never mind 4 or 5 swords, I think that's to much for one person to carry around + he's captured... Maybe we should say that Orcs threw them away since they couldn't hold elven-metal... Or maybe say Eliot managed to pick them up and put them somewhere safe, hide them... What do you think? That would be more logical...
And what happened to the Balrog?! did we kill him, or did it escape?
And orcs surely wouldn't leave our armour on us, so, we could say they took it off and put it somewhere in the torture-room...So we could retake them when we escape!!!
And as for our escape, like Nenya said, we should make it realistic - somehow flee from the dungeon and THEN Sureatsa can pick us up!!!
Did someone mention that there is a greater power behind the Blue Wizards?! I think I read that somewhere in RP!!! What should that power be? I still propose we should use one or both of the Istari Tolkien mentiones...
What do you think people, tell me!!! I need your comments!!!
Galdor
10-06-2002, 10:56 PM
Sureatsa is only strong enough to carry one man at a time, though she might be able to carry two women. And she can only carry someone for a few miles before she tires out.
Anamatar IV
10-06-2002, 11:06 PM
well eliot i guess only has 1 weapon of everybodies. But think about it. Orcs are dragging him, he has his cloak wrapped about him, I think he could conceal a few swords. So far its 2 of "Yea" and 1 for "Nay"
Galdor
10-06-2002, 11:10 PM
It's 2-2. Millena and I's are "nay" Anamatar and LL12's are "yea"
Anamatar IV
10-06-2002, 11:18 PM
Hey galdor I said in my last post that your bird was taking on the dragons (only killed one). Is that alright?
And how would we get our weapons back? We wouldnt escape from the dungeons, run back to Cirith ungol, and run back to the tower. There are 3 deciding votes left: Nenyas, Stridir, and Eliots. Isildur hasnt been to the forum in a while.
Eliot
10-06-2002, 11:23 PM
I say that I don't have the weapons with me. How about they were left in the cave in a secret place. And about Sureatsa, I was planning on having the bird go get the eagles. If you guys think that it is stupid, that's fine. I really don't care.
Galdor
10-06-2002, 11:24 PM
Well, the dragons would have to be pretty small. Sureatsa can only grow to a little bigger than very large man (like a Numenorean.) I said in the rp that they had been left in the cave and Galdor had Sureatsa go get them and our packs and hide them somewhere nearby the tower we are in.
Galdor
10-06-2002, 11:27 PM
hmmm, I think we'll have to see what everyone else thinks about the Eagles thing. And that 3 "nays" to 2 "yeas"
Melian Le Fay
10-07-2002, 12:08 AM
MAybe Sureatsa should find the hidden swords and bring them to us once we escape...? What do you think, Galdor? Is she strong enough for that?
Legolas_lover12
10-07-2002, 12:11 AM
well i like the eagles idea is pretty good. so i like that too.:D
Anamatar IV
10-07-2002, 12:11 AM
ive taken the concealed weapons idea out of the running. Looks like im 0-2 on the voting :rolleyes:
Melian Le Fay
10-07-2002, 12:17 AM
Wouldn't it bemore interesting if we escaped on our own? No eagles, no creatures fighting the orc-guards...
Legolas_lover12
10-07-2002, 12:25 AM
but i thought u guys wanted it to be realistic .............:rolleyes:
Melian Le Fay
10-07-2002, 08:59 PM
Well, I want it to be realistic!!! I mean, it would be a little boring&predoctable if we got captured, and then miraculously saved by some creatures... No fun in that...:rolleyes:
Anamatar IV
10-07-2002, 09:30 PM
but the great eagles have diminished by now.
Nenya Evenstar
10-07-2002, 09:36 PM
Personally, I think we should escape on our own somehow too. After all, we're the Mithril Knights, right? :D If we use the eagles won't it be a little bit too much like Gandalf's rescue from Orthanc? You know, up high in a tower, eagles come and grasp us out of the very clutches of the enemy....
Now about the swords: How about Eliot was able to hide our swords in his cloak and push it into a dark corner before the orcs bound him? He would have been able to do this since the orcs thought he was knocked out. This way Sureasta can retrieve our swords and bring them to us. Also, both parties will be happy as they will each get something that they want. :D
BTW, I've got a long sword Anamatar - I picked it up in Minas Tirith for the seige there at the beginning of the RP. I also have a bunch of knives (hidden all over me) that the orcs didn't find. Hmmm... maybe I could put those to use - it isn't every day that an elf carries knives hidden about her....
Anamatar IV
10-07-2002, 09:42 PM
i know you have a sword but im saying maybe eliot took ONE of your knives. But anyways i said that sureasta dropped our weapons on the roof of the chamber. hmm. I wonder how were gonna get them down?;) People understand that when i said "Big EYES" i meant the wizards right?
Nenya Evenstar
10-07-2002, 09:54 PM
Yeah - I knew that! Oh well! :p I think I know how we can get the weapons.... Read my post in the RP.
I was working on my post when you posted, Anamatar, but I think they'll still work.
Anamatar IV
10-07-2002, 10:05 PM
atleast i was able to incorporate a spear into the rp SOMEHOW. too bad it had to be orc guards. How are we gonna get out swords from the roof?
Melian Le Fay
10-07-2002, 10:15 PM
No chance any of us could slip through the window somehow, and climb to the roof...? I mean, is the window too small?
Nenya Evenstar
10-07-2002, 10:17 PM
Read my last post - I think we can "sneak" onto the roof somehow. Should be fun.... :D *Nenya is having fun because her knives are being used*
Anamatar IV
10-07-2002, 10:19 PM
the wizards arent stupid. They wouldnt make a window big enough to crawl through.
And nenya--the bird (im done trying to spell it:rolleyes: ) dropped them on the roof. Dont think there are stairs leading up. Maybe we could use a rope or something.
Nenya Evenstar
10-07-2002, 10:33 PM
Uhhh... why can't the bird just bring them to the window?
Anamatar IV
10-07-2002, 10:35 PM
eh. it could work. a bit on the strange side though. i was just thinking that since we were in a dungeon the windows would be barred.
Melian Le Fay
10-07-2002, 10:43 PM
Sorry, guys! Been there, done that!;) :p :D
I thought, the cell windows are too small, but windows in halls or on the stairs of the tower had to be little bigger... and they needn't be barred, hardly anyone would try to escape that way...to high, too many orc guards...
and Anamatar darling, we should use that Nenya's creature again! Why not calling them "big eyes" really? They HAVE big eyes, and you can concider them some kind of "second level of torture"... Or maybe the Wizards' first servants! Like Nazgul for Sauron!!!!
why not?!?!?!
I think it could be great (unless Nenya has some completely different plans for the creature) - they are, just like the Nazgul, powerfull creatures, high servants of the "bad guys", have even names given by orcs, who fear them - "big eyes"...
Nenya Evenstar
10-07-2002, 10:47 PM
Sounds good to me Millena! I actually had planned for them to be high servants of the "bad guys" (or "Big Guys" as we could call them.)
As for the window - oh well! I figured that they would be bigger type bars. Like Millena said, "Been there done that!"
He was now enjoying himself more than nenya. :confused: Ack! Who said? :D
Anamatar IV
10-07-2002, 10:50 PM
UGH! What are the wizards then? I actually intended sharci and shargi to be the wizards but people turned them into orcs!
Eliot
10-08-2002, 05:07 PM
But why call them that? They do have real names which are Pollando and Alatar. The encycopedia of arda website said they both went on a journey together and nobody ever saw them again.
But I guess the Orcs could call them something different.
Melian Le Fay
10-09-2002, 08:21 PM
OK guys, here's a stupid question, but I must get this straight:
Blue Wizards = 2 fo the Istari ( I beleive Eliot ment them when he said they were called Pollando and Alatar ) or:
Blue Wizards = something else....?:confused:
But as for the wizards' nicknames, orcs could really call them Sharci and Shargi, just like it was with Saruman... Wait, he was called Sharci, too!:eek:
But since we alredy posted that those two were some big-shots orcs, why not... Now you can invent some new names for the wizards, anamatar! ;) :p
Nenya, I "read" your thoughts somehow about those creatures of yours!!! :p :D I definitely agree we should make them high servants of the wizards, and once again repeat the wizards should be those two astrayed Istari!!!;) :p
but if you don't accept my proposal, it's cool :cool: , I'll think of somethig else, or if anyone has any concrete proposal....:rolleyes:
Anamatar IV
10-09-2002, 08:40 PM
yes i meant the istari. How about someone else make up a name. Im fresh out! Maybe Polalts? Maybe the orcs call them both Polala? POL[lando]ALA[tar]
Melian Le Fay
10-09-2002, 09:46 PM
AHA! So now you mean the Istari, but when I was proposing it, no one even bothered to reply to my idea!:( Communication, people, communication! :p
And Galdor, Anamatar, what the heck are you doing in RP?! My characters goes to investigate, to see what lies ahead, then you pull me back saying that's folly, and then YOU go and do what I wanted to !!! I don't mind my character not doing this & that, but you're behaving either contradictory to your sayings, or rather believe that your characters are superior to us, other "simple" knights! We're all equal here, remember?;)
Anamatar IV
10-09-2002, 10:09 PM
i dunno. I think Galdor was saying that you shouldnt RUN in to investigate. I think he meant to walk slowly and carefully.
Melian Le Fay
10-09-2002, 10:21 PM
I was running for the stairs not down them! Meaning I wanted to approach them quickly, what's the point in sneaking through the hall full of Mithril Knights?!:confused:
Anamatar IV
10-10-2002, 12:29 AM
but thats the point. You were RUNNING for the stairs. We are in a tower inhabbited by orcs and wizards. When you turn a corner you could be faced with a dozen orc arrows. You want to go around slowly.
Galdor
10-10-2002, 12:44 AM
Anamatars is right. Galdor pulled you back becouse he thought it would be better to go slowly, instead of just running into a bunch of orc or something.
Eliot
10-10-2002, 01:04 AM
I have a question. How am I getting around in the RP since I'm poisoned? Is somebody carrying me or what?
Anamatar IV
10-10-2002, 01:33 AM
you were poisoned? I always thought you were just knocked out from the pain.
Galdor
10-10-2002, 03:20 AM
If you were poisoned then we can just say that I already healed you. So you can say something about me having healing you in your next post if you want. And where were you poisoned? I don't remember it.
Eliot
10-10-2002, 05:34 AM
Well whatever, the arrows were orc arrows you know.
Whatever. Skip that, I guess that I'm all healed now.
Nenya Evenstar
10-10-2002, 06:31 AM
Ack! Talk about a lack of communication between the players in this RP.... hehehe....
Eliot
10-10-2002, 07:40 AM
You're right Nenya. I think that everybody should state very clearly what they are doing in the RP so that questions don't come up in the middle of the story.
Nenya Evenstar
10-10-2002, 07:02 PM
Or better yet everyone should read each other's posts more carefully so that these things don't happen. Oh well! :rolleyes: :D
Anamatar IV
10-10-2002, 09:48 PM
right when we're talking about reading carefully...Eliot Nenya was saying we should get out of the tower INSTEAD of seeking the wizards. It appears we might need to bang a few kinks out before we start again. 1st...when are we gonna get our mithril coats back?
2-I never actually thought that there was gonna be a great big secret to the orcs reproduction and that the wizards together were just so powerful but whatever. Your rp to. You want a sherlock holmes mithril knight and youve got it! What should the secret be then?
3-Will we ever face the wizards in this rp? Will we kill the wizards?
Legolas_lover12
10-10-2002, 11:36 PM
WoW there's a lot going on. and i'm only at the beginning of page three. i think i need to read faster.:rolleyes:
Eliot
10-11-2002, 12:02 AM
OK, here's the thing. We can't just get out cuz' Orcs are surrounding the whole tower. So, to get out we need to destroy all the Orcs. The silver ball is the only thing that can destroy them. It can make and destroy, that's all. So that means that we need to get the ball and use it, which thus means taking care of the wizards. Are you happy?
Anamatar IV
10-11-2002, 12:36 AM
i like the idea about the ball but i think were going a bit too fast to already have discovered the wizards secret. Weve only started this thing what...2 weeks ago? We should slow this thing down a bit. Wander through the halls a bit...do battle with a band of passing orcs once or twice...and THEN discover that the wizards have the ball. What do you suppose the ball is anyways? And where the bloody 'ell is Isildur?
Eliot
10-11-2002, 04:36 AM
Fine, sorry. I'll delete my post as usual...
Galdor
10-11-2002, 05:09 AM
The post is good, just edit out the wizards and the ball thingy. And say it's like a where the orcs go right after they're created or somthing.
Nenya Evenstar
10-11-2002, 06:44 AM
I still think it's dumb for us to remain in the tower.... the orcs know that we've escaped and will be looking for us. The best thing for us to do is get out of the tower as quickly as possible so that we don't get killed. We could pull a Frodo and Sam and disguise as orcs or something. As for the balls, I think that they are a great for destroying the orcs but not for killing the wizards. The life of a Maia is not attached to a ball. Just my thoughts though....
Eliot
10-11-2002, 05:26 PM
Whatever. It's already deleted. I guess we're just going to have to go the boring way...
Anamatar IV
10-11-2002, 09:34 PM
well if we did every main event happening every other day wed be done in a week. The point of this rp is to make sure the members dont get bored with the mithril knights. If youre eating your favorite food you want it to last a LLOOOOOOONNNNNGG time. So are we going outside or staying in the tower?
Nenya Evenstar
10-12-2002, 01:54 AM
I vote to attempting to get outside of the tower - doesn't mean we actually will for a while yet. We could run into trouble on the way and have to hide from orcs etc. But, if we were really there, we'd be trying to get out a quickly as possible because we'd know that the orcs know their tower from top to bottom and we couldn't hide from them for long. If we try to get out we will have a lot bigger chance of surviving. Besides, the mountain in which the orcs are being made is not in the tower itself but outside of it.
Anamatar IV
10-12-2002, 02:09 AM
but if youll look at my map...Im not sure if i did it proportional but the mountain and tower are supposed to be some hundred feet or so away. I beleive we can start again. Is isildur out? Stridir...you and Isildur are friends. Could you ask him about this?
Galdor
10-12-2002, 02:14 AM
What map, I don't remember seeing it can you post here?
Anamatar IV
10-12-2002, 02:34 AM
i posted it in the rp a while ago but it didnt work so i posted a new one in the mithril knights section. But ill post a new one since weve obviously made some progress.
Remember-blue is gondor. DARK green is rohirrim, yellow is the knights current location red is the orcs (known orcs), and DARK red is the wizards tower and the mountain. Black is the elves, and the color that looks purpleish is the dragon. Enjoy. Elves and rohirrim are in gondor. Just so ya know.
Nenya Evenstar
10-12-2002, 05:08 AM
What do you mean start again? I hope you don't mean to start the RP all over again.... I think we can fix whatever problems we have quite easily without having to do that.
That was my point - the mountain and the tower are not right together. If we are going to figure out how the Orcs are made we are going to have to make our way to the mountain. That's why I think we should leave the tower. What does everyone else think?
Eliot
10-12-2002, 05:15 AM
I guess that's all right...

Name: Ashari
Race: Hobbit
Weapons: Short staff (Waverush), Hobbit-bow (no name yet) and arrows
Armor: a mithril coat which I wear under my clothes
Gender: Female
Age: 28
Physical appearance: Brown, curly hair, bright green eyes, on the short side for a hobbit (I haven't come up with an exact hight yet )
Clothes: I wear male hobbit-clothes, cause a dress isn't exactly the best thing to fight in. Am hardly ever seen without my long, blue cloak.
Magic: my staff comes at my call
History: uuuh...none yet.
Pony: Brown w/ tan mane and tail named Gabriella. Is rather fast despite her size.
Just thought I'd post the whole thing again.
Is it ok if I bring in a large group of hobbits (say 1,000 or so) to help Minas Tirith? So far you have totally overlooked the hobbits.
Anamatar IV
10-12-2002, 01:38 PM
heres the problem. A whole bunch of people joined the mithril knights after we started the rp. But maybe we can do this...this can be the time when you guys havent become knights yet. Sound good? I guess the hobbits are in MInas Tirith by now. Ill have to pm the...other 3 or 4 members...
Legolas_lover12
10-12-2002, 02:52 PM
well i don't think that is very nice to say they aren' really members just because they joined once er started the rp. and also, u don't have the power (the position i should say) to tell them if they can be members or not. this is something u need to PM whiterider about. so, until we hear from whiterider, they can be members. (and i have the power to, at least, say that. because i am 3rd in command) so if u really feel they shouldn't be members u meed to PM whiterider first.
Anamatar IV
10-12-2002, 05:00 PM
no I mean in the rp world they arent mithril knights. They are mihthril knights but this is before they were in the rp world.
Anamatar IV
10-12-2002, 05:21 PM
I have a good idea. But i wanna know what you guys think about it. How about <at the very end of the rp mind you> we kill the wizards and the mountain stops producing orcs. But that huge army that is still there marches against the army of the west. We're all in that battle. But while we're fighting the army of the mithril knights got...unscattered..like...and came and helped. Comments?
Ponte
10-12-2002, 05:56 PM
I join the rp as a rohirrim.
Anamatar IV

great. You can go right in. Youre in gondor and right now youre probably under attack.
Ponte
10-12-2002, 06:03 PM
Ok, are there more players who are Rohirrim?
Anamatar IV
10-12-2002, 06:51 PM
dont think so. So i guess youre the commander of about 10000 men. We have 2 members who havent answered my pm yet so one is probably gonna be a dwarf captain and the other an elf.
Ponte
10-12-2002, 06:58 PM
Ok, 10000 soldiers (now the're 8800:p). I have read to the third page of the rp and I starts to understand what it's about.
EDIT: I meant the fourth page.
Melian Le Fay
10-12-2002, 08:29 PM
Here's an idea....
How about we stay in the tower for a while, fight some orcs, discover some secrets, then we disocver a secret tunnel which leads to the mountain...
It would be a little difficult to pass trough a big bunch of orcs and thus reach the mountain....
Or maybe the tunnel doesn't have to lead to the mountains, but somewhere lese, so this RP wouldn't end so quickly...
Galdor
10-12-2002, 08:30 PM

let us go hunt some orc! Weve got front row seats to the end of the world! Lets have some fun before we die! *in german accent* Ill be back!
THe funniest quotes that apply to us!
Anamatar IV
10-13-2002, 03:26 PM
since the rp now could get confusing and seriously out of hand how about we do this. Since we have now...4 people at gondor and 5 or 6 people in mordor lets do this. We take turns on where the story is gonna be. SOund good? Like 5 posts here 5 posts there. That way people wont forget whats going on where.
Ponte
10-13-2002, 03:32 PM
Or you can have Gondor, Mordor in the subject field?
That makes it better if somone is away from the forum.
Anamatar IV
10-13-2002, 03:39 PM
no thats not the problem. I assume we all understand where we are when someone is posting but im saying this rp could very easily get very far away from the main plot. Im trying to get the other mithril knights into this thing so they can give us a bit of mph into the story but the plot is still the mystery of the blue wizards.
Ponte
10-13-2002, 03:46 PM
Ok then.
But I don't understand, shall every one in that part of the rp post in that turn or is't just that it shall be 5 posts and then change to the other part of the rp?
Or perhaps you ca do it this way: two days (or something else) on one side and the next two days (or something else) for the other side.
Anamatar IV
10-13-2002, 03:51 PM
yes i meant the 5 posts in gondor 5 posts in mordor. That way 1 post doesnt get mixed in with the other part of the rp and everyone gets confused. And 2 days is a long time. We want to have everyone active in this rp right? If you were excluded from an rp for 2 days youd get kind of bored with it. Maybe 1 day or something but lets vote. How many vote for number of posts? How many for number of days?
Ponte
10-13-2002, 03:53 PM

Perhaps a mix, if there hasn't been five posts in a amount of time then the ball goes over to the other part, sounds that good?

sounds good. So 5 posts or 2 days.
Galdor
10-13-2002, 09:35 PM
hey Anamatar, could you please tell me what is going on with our rp?
Anamatar IV
10-13-2002, 09:58 PM
okay well about a week after our rp started 3 members joined the mithril knights. 2 pmed me about joining the rp. Then 2 weeks later another joined and posted here about joining the rp. So instead of having 4 bored knights why not have them 4 tell the story from gondor. I beleive its been 5 posts on that side so now were back to the mithril knights in mordor. Are there any more questions? if youre talking about whats going on with the knights---we are still in the tower looking for a safe way out. If you are confused about what is going on in gondor---the 4 knights are each a commander i guess of the armys that are aiding gondor. Buu is of the rohirrim, phenix and celebrien of the elves, hobbitgril of the hobbits...I think thats about it. So lets do this in list format:
4 new members have joined the mithril knights rp. But this is before they join the knights in the rp world.
these 4 knights represent the aid for gondor
the 4 to-be-knights post 5 posts from gondor
the 6 now-knights post 5 posts from mordor
the 6 knights are in the tower
the 4 knights will meet the 6 knights at the end of the story and become mithril knights.

mordors turn. Who wants to start? Galdor? You havent posted on it in a while. Or are you still confused a bit?
Nenya Evenstar
10-13-2002, 11:17 PM
Ok, I posted. I think everyone should put their location in the subject box - it'll make the RP easier to read. Glad to see all you new Mithril Knights! :)
Éomond

Alrite, i'm sorry I've been gone for so long[if anyone cares]. So, I still don't get what's going on, so explain it as if you're explaining it to a 3rd grader.
Anamatar IV
10-14-2002, 12:07 AM
okay. ONE LAST TIME. IF NOONE GETS IT>NOT MY PROBLEM!!!!!!
new members wanted in on rp
they are acting like they dont know about mithril knights
helping gondor
were in mordor
weve been tortured
were looking for a tunnel
we are having 5 posts here and 5 posts there.
Galdor
10-14-2002, 02:14 AM
Ok, I've got it. But I don't like the 5 and 5 thing. For one, there is more than 5 Mithril Knights in Mordor, secondly, if there are multiple people on at the same time I don't think that they should be constrained to five post. I would say that both groups should have a minimum of five post but can keep posting until someone out of the other group post. Lets take a vote.
Anamatar IV
10-14-2002, 02:23 AM
hmm. 5 really isnt good is it. How about 6 for the knights in mordor and 4 in gondor? That way everybody gets 1 post per round. So 2 people will fill the 6 posts in a span of 2 minutes and exlude the others from that turn. 1 post per knights per turn? And also...since you only have 1 post it has more motivation to make your posts MEANINGFUl and not 3 or 4 sentences. more like 10 or 12. Lets vote.
HobbitGirl
10-14-2002, 05:20 AM
I REALLY like the idea of having 1 post per person per round. That makes it fair for everyone.
Éomond
10-14-2002, 07:28 AM
OK! I get it now, but where is my character!?
HobbitGirl
10-14-2002, 07:34 AM
It seems to me that you got separated from the knights in the tower, but I could be wrong there. :D
Anamatar IV
10-14-2002, 03:08 PM
okay. Lets start it now. Okay---1 post per member per turn. If you post once you cant post again until everyone from the other part has posted. 3 posts already in gondor so 1 more. Then BE CAREFUL to only post 1 in each turn.
Ponte
10-14-2002, 04:28 PM
Sounds good but what shall be the max-time?
Nenya Evenstar
10-14-2002, 04:30 PM
Ok, I really hate to start this up again... but.... I absolutely detest having only one post per person per round! It makes no sense! (Sorry, Hobbit Girl). ;) But one of the best things about an RP is the fact that if you and another player are on at the same time you are able to go back and forth for as long as you both are on. If we restrict this to six posts for Mordor and four for Gondor, then people are going to get very bored waiting for the other posters. I'd personally like to be able to post back and forth. If people can't keep the places straight (which I find hard since there are only six knights in Mordor and we all know each other pretty well by this time) and if they can't follow a simple subject title, :p then I suggest that we do a day time-limit, and when that day is over the next group gets to post. This way people can post back and forth to their hearts content, and even if there aren't four or six posts at a given place the next day it is the next groups turn. We'll all get to post a lot more this way and won't risk losing any players.
Anamatar IV
10-14-2002, 04:54 PM
okay. Days then. Whats today? Mordor or gondor?
Nenya Evenstar
10-14-2002, 06:02 PM
I'd say that it's Mordor's turn since Gondor has had their four posts from the last system.
Éomond
10-15-2002, 12:27 AM
Ok this sounds kinda poopy, I mean, I thought rpgs were soposded to be: I post, you post, WHO CARES WHEN OR HOW MANY! Let's just stick to the frickin' story!!! We don't need this wierdo system of when each person gets a chance to post! what I'm guessing is that ALOT more people joined and started there own thing or WHATEVER!!! Maybe we sould get it a little more organized but not some system!!!
There, I'm done.
Anamatar IV
10-15-2002, 01:16 AM
if you were reading posts on wars and rohirrim and elves killing evil men and orcs and all of a sudden you saw someone post something that said The mithril knigths worked their way about the tower of mordor youd be very confused!
Éomond
10-15-2002, 06:42 AM
Well, it also confuses me[not really, but it's really wierd] with this "oh you can only post 1 at a time every other day" I liked the idea where we put where we're at on the Post subject opition.
HobbitGirl
10-15-2002, 06:41 PM
So is it Gondor's turn today, or what?
Éomond
10-16-2002, 12:18 AM
See what I mean!!!??
Anamatar IV
10-16-2002, 09:08 PM
what have you got up your sleeve isildur? where are you now? Were you captured?
Galdor
10-16-2002, 09:41 PM
I say we just conntinue on like normal, but just use the subject thing to say which group where in. Remember the point of rps is for people to have fun, not for other people to read. Though it is good to keep them nice clean and readable, if it is making it less enjoyable for the players because it's too connfusing I say just forget about readability.
Nenya Evenstar
10-16-2002, 10:39 PM
I agree with Galdor. Down with one post per turn per player and down with days! :D I say we use the subject, and if people read the posts they should be able to be pretty informed about what's happening.
Eliot
10-16-2002, 11:09 PM
Yeah, something good that actually works!!!:rolleyes:
That sounds pretty good Nenya.
Nenya Evenstar
10-16-2002, 11:56 PM
Glad to know you like it! :D
Galdor
10-17-2002, 12:35 AM
hey, what is Sureatsa supossed to find? Should she find Isildur or not? And what should happen if she does/doesn't find him?
Nenya Evenstar
10-17-2002, 12:41 AM
I think it would be more exciting if we split up. So have Sureasta try to look for him but not be able to find him. Then we split up and see what happens.
Anamatar IV
10-17-2002, 12:45 AM
im laughing right now. Seriously literally laughing. Right when we meet back up with Isildur we lose him again and are about to lose some more knights!
Nenya Evenstar
10-17-2002, 12:52 AM
It should be fun though... and more dangerous. I like the idea myself (probably because I came up with it). :rolleyes: It should keep the excitement rolling as well!
Éomond
10-18-2002, 07:41 AM
Come on people, where are ye? Wot's the matter? I think it's really exciting now!
HobbitGirl
10-18-2002, 11:27 PM
That little "dragon rock" of yours kinda sounds like a dragoon spirit. Am I right? I'm just hoping we won't be copying off anyone during this rp.
Anamatar IV
10-18-2002, 11:35 PM
yeah---how about from here until the end we play this rp as a serious rp. Weve had alot of good times with chickens and minis but now lets get serious. No minis (until the final battle) no cricken (sp?). Okay?
Éomond
10-19-2002, 01:22 AM
Ok, I'll save the "Dragoon Spirit" and the Chicken Riders to the end.
But I'll be serious from now on.
Galdor
10-19-2002, 05:12 AM
I can still use my Falcon right?
Anamatar IV
10-19-2002, 05:17 AM
yeah. That is pretty middle earth-ish.
Nenya Evenstar
10-22-2002, 08:06 AM
Where are the RPers? Common Mithril Knights! Let's get this RP moving! I left for four days and there were only a handful of posts - it's shameful! :p
Éomond
10-22-2002, 08:09 AM
*Lowers head*
I'm sorry, but I was waiting for one of you guys! I put that "Isildur hoped someone heard him" but no 1 could figure it out till you Nenya! Way to go!
Anamatar IV
10-22-2002, 09:49 PM
i was waiting for someone else to post. Honest!:rolleyes: And i couldnt here you isildur. I was going the opposite direction.
Nenya Evenstar
10-23-2002, 01:36 AM
Oh well peoples! Let's just keep this RP on the road! And don't slack anymore or I'll come at you with my great big ummm... I-don't-know-what. ;) Oh, and thanks Isildur! :D
Éomond
10-25-2002, 12:56 AM
I don't know what to write any more! Ahhh! Help! Have we all just gotten a little busy?:( :mad: :confused: :D
Nenya Evenstar
10-25-2002, 02:25 AM
I don't know what happened... but I do know that if people don't start posting I'm going to bring out my rolling pin and start smacking heads. :D We are at the tunnels - just have someone find a passageway, and we can start a wonderful underground adventure.
Anamatar IV
10-25-2002, 03:42 AM
when should we find the tunnel? Ive just been waiting a bit. DONT WHACK ME PLEASE!!! Im too young to be hit with a rolling pin! ;)
Nenya Evenstar
10-25-2002, 07:03 AM
I'd say someone finds it ASAP! And Anamatar... I'm not so sure you're too young... I've been being wacked with a rolling pin since I was born. :rolleyes:
Anamatar IV
10-25-2002, 10:16 PM
that actually explains alot ;) So what when we actually do find the tunnel?
Nenya Evenstar
10-25-2002, 11:08 PM
OK!!!!!!!!!! The next person who posts needs to find the tunnel. :mad: :D If that doesn't happen I am going to edit my last post and find it myself.
Anamatar IV
10-27-2002, 05:39 AM
OKAY PEOPLE!!!! WEVE FOUND ISILDUR, WEVE FOUND THE TUNNEL NOW WHERE THE BLOODY ELL ARE YOU?!?!?!?!?!?! Post something. ANYTHING!!! The rp is in the pits!!!
Éomond
10-27-2002, 06:08 AM
:eek:You don't have to.........yell :(
;) :D ;)
Éomond
10-27-2002, 06:29 AM
I posted! Happy now?
I know it's a bit wierd but, hey, I'm half asleep and, I don't know, I guess is was, um, no......came off the top of my head.:rolleyes:
HAPPY NOW!!!!!!!!!!?
Anamatar IV
10-27-2002, 02:38 PM
okay but did we rebunk the stones or not? Because I think thats what youre aiming at with the looks familiar. I can just see you pulling that stone out of your shirt in your next post :p
Princess Vi
10-28-2002, 10:26 PM
I'm now a member of the Guild of Mithril Knights so is it ok if I just pop up when it's convenient?
Anamatar IV
10-28-2002, 10:34 PM
well what weve done in the past for new members is this: you can play as an elf under the command of celebrien. We will meet you later on and then you will (in the rp world) become a mithril knight. Deal? :)
Princess Vi
10-28-2002, 10:38 PM
k that works for me do I need to post my profile here?
Anamatar IV
10-28-2002, 10:52 PM
nah. Just pm celebrien and he will introduce you into the story whenever he can.
Princess Vi
10-28-2002, 10:55 PM
k then I can do that :D
Anamatar IV
10-31-2002, 11:58 PM
2 things straight to the point:
As far as we know only Nenya, Galdor, and anamatar are running from spiders.
THe spiders, as far as I intended, are regular sized.
Nenya Evenstar
11-01-2002, 02:04 AM
Yes, the spiders are normal sized as I tried to make clear in my post. Also, Galdor, Anamatar, and Nenya are FAR down the tunnel from the other Knights. No one else is with them.
Éomond
11-01-2002, 02:31 AM
What about me and Stridir? Did we get separated?
Anamatar IV
11-01-2002, 02:43 AM
You and stridir, eliot, nauriel, youre all WAY in back of us.
Anamatar IV
11-03-2002, 05:18 AM
since we are nearing the end of this RP I would like to lay down a few simple tips we could all use to make this a good RP.
~Speak like the people in that time period would: "The wind was feirce and it whistled past the knights ears, yet they heard naught but the wizards voices" instead of "The wind blew past the knights ears but the could only hear the wizards voices"
~SPELL CHECK. Just a simple one. Try to spell correctly.
~Follow the flow of the rp: "A band of hideous orcs jumped at the knights. They all engaged in harsh combat." then the next post-"Anamatar cut the head of one orc but another pricked his arm with a spear. These beasts were hard to fend off" instead of the last post being "The knights fought a hard battle but soon the orcs were defeated." Let battles go on for a few posts.
~Read carefully.
~Use a thesorus. Youd be surprised how much this helps
~Describe your battles!!!!!!!: "Anamatar clashed swords with an uruk-ghash many times until he managed to stab the fell thing through the stomach" sounds better than "Anamatar fought and orc and killed it"
~Describe everything
~If another player starts implying something do not change the subject. It usually means they have something in mind.
If we do all of these then this rp could be very good.
EDIT: By request of some members of this rp we are on a temporary hold.
Nenya Evenstar
11-03-2002, 04:59 PM
Just wanted to bring to everyone's attention that though the beasts are very strong their main power is not in their strength - it is in their eyes. So I should think that by this time there should be something going on having to do with that. If I'm knocked out so fast after only looking into their eyes once, then I'd think that someone else would be affected - but then, I wouldn't know. :rolleyes: :p :D
Anamatar IV
11-03-2002, 05:20 PM
:p :p :p
Well Anamatar seemed pretty shaken up after the battle. And I guess if you tried really hard youd be able not to look in its eyes. How about the next person to post does something with the eyes?
btw-forget the hold part of my last post.
Melian Le Fay
11-03-2002, 08:43 PM
I'M ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just in case any of you wondered what the hell happened to me.......
In case no one wondered, well..... HI, everyone! :p
I've been gone for three weeks, so I guess I'm out of the RPG, but, could someone do me a biiiiiiiiiiiiig favour and tell me what happened with the game, in two sentences....... I'm still very much interested in it, and would like to participate in any way possible...............:(
Glad to be back!!!!
Anamatar IV
11-03-2002, 08:50 PM
you can still be in. Dont worry. We all made sure not to leave you behind or something. Right now the knights (the 7 original players of this rp) are fighting the beasts from earlier. We are in mordor and have seen the wizards but theyre gone right now. 4 more players have been added to this game and will be giving us the story from Gondor. Later, at the end of the rp, the 7 knights and the 4 from Gondor (btw--the ones in gondor arent Knights yet) will meet and the 4 will become mithril knights.
Nenya Evenstar
11-03-2002, 08:50 PM
We missed you!!!!!! And yes, we did notice that you were gone... glad to have you back! :)
I think you could actually just step right into the RP where we left off. We are still trying to find out what's going on in Mordor. We got captured by the orcs (I think you were here for that part), then escaped, went searching for some underground passageways that might bring us to the mountain, lost Isildur, found Isildur, found the tunnels, found the mountain, had a short scuffle with orcs in the main room where the fire is generated, escaped, and are now being attacked by the vampire beasts with the yellow eyes. :p
That's where we are now... hope that made sense.
Anamatar IV
11-05-2002, 12:54 AM
I have another tip.
~Keep out big numbers. Try to keep the rp personalized. "A large battalion of hobbit swordsmen jumped into the battle and fought the legion of orcs that were pouring in." sounds better than "9000 hobbit swordmen jumped into the battle and fought the 8000 orcs that were pouring in." They are both the same thing, just different words. In an rp you are playing YOUR character. Keep it personalized like that. Tell more of what you character is doing rather than what their forces are doing.
Nenya Evenstar
11-06-2002, 07:07 AM
Sooo... what's up with Goldie? :D ;) Ummm... is that going to stay? Doesn't really fit in with how we are trying to keep this RP somewhat professional.... But I have to admit it was hilarious! :D
Melian Le Fay
11-07-2002, 08:11 PM
WEll, guys you're just GREAT!!!!!!:D
I'll head back right into the battle!!!!:p
Ahhhh......it's good to be back!
Anamatar IV
11-08-2002, 09:54 PM
Hey guys I just wanted to tell ya. Our rp has a rating of 5 stars!!!! Keep up the great rping!!!!:D
Éomond
11-11-2002, 07:06 AM
Sorry I've been gone for soooo long! I'm back to! I just need to know where my character is and I'll be posting agian! Thanks! I'm sorry
Anamatar IV
11-11-2002, 03:34 PM
your character is with the other knights. They are all on the side of the mountain AND ARE NOT ANY LONGER BEING CHASED BY ROCKS and are about to see the wizards again. We want a climax soon. ALL THE PEOPLE IN GONDOR PLEASE FINISH THE COUNCIL AND START THE GATHERING OF YOUR ARMY.
Galdor
11-14-2002, 03:39 PM
hey guys, please don't post in the rp agian until after I do. I'm going to do something really cool with Galdor.
Melian Le Fay
11-14-2002, 08:58 PM
Hey, guys, am I still in?!?!?
If I am, just tell me what to do!!!:)
See you in the battle!
Galdor
11-14-2002, 09:06 PM
of course your still in.
Anamatar IV
11-14-2002, 09:29 PM
celebrien, could you please edit something with your last post? We dont want a fight until the very last part. Infact I mean to not have any fighting (in gondor or with the knights) until the wizards are defeated. So for a few posts could it be just the knights? Lets have Gondor out of it for a while.
Éomond
11-16-2002, 12:52 AM
Galdor, I saw you only posted: Halt! in your lasted post in the rp, what was it for?
Anamatar IV
11-16-2002, 03:35 AM
he says he has something really cool to do with galdor and its taking him a while to finish it so he doesnt want anyone to post until then.
Galdor
11-18-2002, 03:55 AM
Sorry guys, I internet just stopped working. I'm at my brothers dorm for the next two days though, so I'll post it before tomarrow or Tues. Sorry for keeping you guys waiting. btw, I'm going to have Galdor die, so don't make any post about us winning until I'm dead. You'll see in my post how I'm going to die. I'm planning on haveing him reborn in ME later though.
Éomond
11-29-2002, 08:48 PM
Well, I am kinda getting a little **mad:mad::D** waiting for sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long (it seems) please Galdor *gets on knees* hurry! :D
