RP#56-Mists Unknown (private rp)-Discussion

[Anamatar IV]

okay here is the discussion thread for the rp the mists unknown...remember it is a private rp so dont post if you dont get a pm from me...

heres what this thing is about:

Things are average for the world. Nothing remarkable or worth telling stories over is happening. Not a hint of evil is in the air. But one day a fleet of orcs comes and attacks Dol Amroth (our starting point). They completely ravage the area around the shore and retreat quickly before anyone can see where they return to. So it is our job (as the players) to locate where this navy is coming from (obviously using a boat;)) and lead the navy of Gondor to it.

EDIT: the story is going to start at the very end of the attack. Like a narrotive of the battle then the characters charge in with the rest of the army of Dol Amroth just as the ships are leaving the shores...
***************************
Profiles:

Name: Anamatar Osterel
Age: 87 (btw-dont make a comment about Anamatar's age in other rps. It wasnt gonna work out:()
Language: Speaks elvish and is fluent in the Numenorean tongue.
Race: Man of strong Numenorean blood
Place of Birth: Born by the shores of Dol Amroth
Occupation: Herald to the Prince of Dol Amroth and captain of the armies of Amroth
Magic: Magic among mortal men is but a trifle of what a man of direct Edain descant can do. Anamatar possesses long life and tremendous skills in healing. He is very wise and many a mortal man will call that magical. His golden horn, given to him by the prince of Amroth, blasts a note clearer and louder than any and it strikes fear into the hearts of his enemies. His silver bow of Numenor speeds an arrow faster than a Galadrhim can fire. His sword out of ancient Numenor glows white at the sense of true evil-not Orcs and trolls and evil men...but evils out of the ancient times that plagued the Edain. In Numenor they crafted this sword to glow lest those ancient evils come again.
Appearance: Anamatar is tall as average men would deem yet he is short among Numenoreans. His eyes are deep and have an ever changing color. Sometimes blue and grey sometimes green. He has a short goatee. His medium lengthed brown hair is always behind him...he never allows it to be in front. When out in the wild he wairs weather beaten green and brown cloacks and a deep blue velvet scarf. In his home of Dol Amroth he walks with his coat of Mithril mail revealed and shining with a red (also velvet;)) cape streaming behind him. His cloak when not traveling is dark green.
weapons: Ancient sword of Numenor renaimed Narmacil. He has few knives on his belt. He carries a bow of silver, much like the numenoreans did.
Family: His father was killed in Isildur's company in the disaster of the gladden fields. After that his mother died of grief, leaving Anamatat two weeks old. Anamatar was fostered by the royal family of Amroth.

Anamatar has three sons, all but one of whom have died: Edellond, Fengil, and Istrine. Edellond still lives.
History: As stated earlier Anamatar was fostered by the royal family of Dol Amroth. He was raised as a perfect picture of royalty. When he was but fourteen years old (almost infant in Numenor) he was given his sword and bow. He was also given an artifact that no one had known his father had: a coat of mithril mail that was discovered when they dispoiled the bodies at the battle. How he got that it is not said. Anamatar stood behid prince Imrahil at the battle of the Morannon when Sauron was overthrown for good. He traveled long afterwards. He founded a refuge of Numenoreans who were not ready to come out of hiding in the Iron hills. But soon he became bored and ventured into the South where he met the Mithril Knights. For many years he fought evil with them but he left the Mithril Knights after helping in the overthrow of the Ithrynluin. He then returned to his home in Dol Amroth and recieved a golden horn. He was the herald of the princes of Amroth, the second highest honor in the city. He built a neighborhoos with many docks along the Northern shore and dwelt ever there.
Personality: He keeps to himself in large crowds yet with friends he displays royalty and kindness. When meeting new friends he will not reveal who he was fostered by until he knows more about this new person.

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

Weapon: 1. Kheled-bruk: "Glass [Mirrored] Axe" in Khuzdul. Made of alloy of mithril and steel.

A forging hammer ("Felak"), used for crafting, as well as a weapon in close quarters. 4. Chain- used for his inventing, but can be swung overhead as a weapon, also can be fastened with a throwing axe for more damage. Hidden in armor. 5. Small silver dagger ("zirak-zigil") used for picking locks, also used as a small weapon; concealed in his gauntlet
Magic: Can bend fire to his will, but VERY limited, cant compare with the Wizard's magic, has the favor of Aule
Personality: Wise for a Dwarf, but sometimes makes hasty decisions. Very aggresive and very stubborn, as are most Dwarves. Quick to make friends but quick to anger, like Dwarves are. His only downfall besides his aggressiveness is his excessive greed. Doesn't fear the Elves and is friends with a few, however, Dain dislikes Ents and Orcs with a passion.
Abilities: Resistant to flame, weak against bitter cold. VERY skilled warrior with an axe, but clumsily wields anything else.
History: Raised in Erebor all his life, his father was the Lord of Erebor. Dragons marauded the kingdom until it fell, and its people nearly extinguished, the King included, and Dain took over lordship. He gathered the remaining Dwarf men and women and created a grand Dwarven army. His army took back their kingdom, killing many Dragons in the process. Dain now is a renowned Dwarf-lord, for killing many a Dragon and for his great mining skills. In his absence from his kingdom, his wife, Dame Kilease Ironfoot, rules in his place.

Personality: Aden is strong-willed, ready to learn and open to suggestions but sticks to what he believes with uncommon clarity. He is a loyal friend to those he likes, and a fierce enemy to those he hates. Calm and precise, he can be mistaken as a placid individual when in reality he can be quite dangerous.

History: Aden was born in Dol Amroth to a middle-class family. His father was a wheel-right, and Aden learned that trade from a very early age. At the age of 25, Aden left his father's business to train with navy of Dol Amroth. He has been with that business since then, and has shown himself to be very capable with everything entrusted to him.

[Anamatar IV]

Just a little note to everyone:

Race: Dark Elf
Gender:female
Age:639
Weapons:Long sword-Rauko Umbar, a dagger concealed in each boot, no visable armor, bow and arrows.

[Anamatar IV]

How about we all post why we are in Dol Amroth...like how does a dark elf get to Dol Amroth and what is it doing there?

Like Anamatar is the herald to the prince so he belongs in dol amroth.

[Nenya Evenstar]

I think you all know why I'm there... just read my profile. :rolleyes: :p :D

[Arathin]

Well this little Dark Elf is in Dol Amroth because daddy sent her there. Adrian felt his "daughter" had to travel away from him for he was being hunted by the same dwarven clan that had killed Kristakana's parents, along with many others of her people. Adrian didn't want his "little girl" to get caught by the dwarves if they came for him, so he told her to go to Dol Amroth and put herself in the service of the ruler there. She did as told, but with deep regret fore she felt that was the last time she would see her dear father Adrian. Because she had placed herself in the service of the ruler of Dol Amroth and proven her prowness in battle, she had been given the position of body guard to Anamatar Osterel. Thus she follows him to all battles and is rarely from his side. She takes her position with great pride.

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

Dain was told by a cloaked messengar that a great reward was to be his if he marauded Dol Amroth with a fleet of Orcs. The messengar was very interested in Dain's mining skills and weapon forging. Dain "politely" declined, the next day, Erebor was attacked by Orcs. Leaving Dame Kilease in charge, Dain set out to Amroth to stop it from being attacked. Seems he was too late...

[Galdor]

Galdor was ask to come to Dol Amroth with a few other Elven shipwrights by Anamatar to work with him on the ships and docks he was building along the Northern shore.


Here's my profile, but I will be doing some more work on it, so don't be suprised if a few litle things change here and there. And is it okay if I use the Falcon?

Name: Prince Galdor Elvëa, though most know him as Galdor Sandaórë
Creature: Elf
Gender: Male
Age: Around 7,000 231
Birthplace: The Gray Havens
Language: Galdor can both speak and read most every language spoken in middle earth.
Family: His father, Airëdil Elvëa, was the brother of Cirdan. Before the great journey of the elves, Airëdil had fallen in love with a young maiden of the Vanyar called Melena. And so when many of the elves made the journey the Aman, Airëdil left his brother and traveled with the Vanyar. It was there that they were married, and for long years Airëdil and Melena dwelt with the Vanyar, during this time Varda took special liking to Airëdil, blessing him and his heirs, placed the light of her stars inside of him, so that some of her power would always be with him, it was then that he began to be called Elvëa, the Starlike, for the light of Elbereth shined out from him. But when the Noldor rebelled and fled Aman, Airëdil, who much desired to return to Middle Earth and bring his brother Cirdan back with him, left with Fingolfin’s people, and Melena came with him. Airëdil and Melena dwelt ever with Cirdan throughout the first age, and in time Airëdil became the commander of Cirdan’s armies. Soon after the fall of Morgoth and the beginning of the second age Melena bore a son and they named him Galdor, and then shortly after Galdor’s birth a daughter was also born to them, and they named her Airëlótë. Four years after Galdor’s birth a old man came to the havens, claming to be of the house of Huor called Mornith, he soon proved to be wise and was treated with honor in Cirdan’s court. But Airëdil was ever suspicious of him, for he felt some evil in him. Because of this Airëdil kept close watch on him, and soon found him to be Yagdrassil, the maia of dread who had betrayed even his own master. And so in time Airëdil reveled to Cirdan the true identity of the Mornith, a great battle was fought between the three, but Airëdil called upon the power of Elbereth, and she banished Yagdrassil to the accursed island of Tal Ungar with other lesser demons of his own kind. In the fight Yagdrassil called down a great curse on Airëdil’s son as a last revenge before he was banished to Tal Ungar forever. The curse was akin to the curse that Morgoth placed upon Hurin, but it held not the power, though it tainted Galdor’s life forever, filling him with hate and rage, only the blessing of Elbereth kept Galdor from falling to shadow.
Home: The Grey Havens though he often wanders
Occupation: Prince of the Grey Havens, Commander of Cirdan's armies, Bodyguard of Elbereth, and Shipwright.
Animal: He has a type of Falcon that are now known only as the Elda Falcons, that are all but extinct in ME. She was given to him by his father when he was still young, he named her Sureatsa. She has the ability to change from the size of an ordinary falcon to about a little smaller then a troll. Galdor can talk to her both telepathically and normally, they can always sense one another's presents and though they cannot talk over far distances, they can feel if one of them is in danger, injured etc, or is one of them is in great need of the other. When she is in her large form she is strong enough to carry Galdor a few miles. Galdor resistance to Magic extends also to her.
Magic: yes. It gives him senses, strength in fighting and endurance. He can sense evil and also has strong healing powers. He has the ability to dissipate magic before it hit him, i.e. if someone tries to throw a fire ball at him or hold him still with magic he would be able to absorb the fire ball and they would not be able to hold him still. His sword (Aicanáro) is also magical. it will never break or grow dull. 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.
Abilities:
Weapon: sword, Bow, two daggers, five throwing knives(he caries many more in his pack, but normally only wears five)
Items:
Appearance: is average in height for an Elf, has long gold/brown hair, and blue eyes that will burn with fire in his anger. He is usually dressed in light elven or mithril mail covered with an elven cloak (like the ones of Lothlorien) or completely in black.
Personality: Good sense of humor is normally light-hearted though he can be a very serious person when he needs to be. He is always to trusted, likes to take leadership, is easy going. And almost always keeps his cool.
History: Galdor was born 231 Second Age at the Grey Havens. When he was three his mother gave birth to a daughter, who was called Airelótë, as brother and sister they grew very close, and they loved no one more than each other. A year later Galdor’s father and uncle battled with the Maia dread, and his life was cursed forever, though it was many years later before the curse began to manifest its self in him. When twelve his father found an Elda falcon chick, whose mother must have been killed by orcs, they were few even then in Middle earth and so Airëdil took the falcon and gave her to Galdor to care for. Galdor was very happy with the falcon and named her Sureatsa, and soon the bond that the Elda Falcons could have with Elves began to grow, and they become inseparable. Two years later the curse on Galdor’s life first began to show its ugly head. His family, with about six other elves took a trip into the wilderness to get away from the work at the Havens for a time. His parents decided that it would be fun to let Galdor lead them around for a few days, but due to the curse Galdor was drawn towards evil, and by ill-fate Galdor led them right into the path of a party of marauding orcs. About thirty of them attacked elves during the night; the only survivors were Galdor, Airelótë, and one elf who was able to lead them away from the battle. From that point on Galdor and Airelótë were taken under the wing of Círdan, and become a father to them ever after. As the years past Galdor became a skilled fighter and leader. The second time his curse manifested he was leading two parties of elves through the forest searching for a band of orcs that was in the area. During the night Galdor’s troop came across the other elves, but before Galdor realized them to be the other elves he had his troops fire on them. The next morning when they were burying the wounded Galdor found his own arrow in the heart of his good friend who was in the other group. It was than that Galdor himself began to think that his curse really was beginning to affect him. As they years past the curse showed its self in many ways, and Galdor relied heavily on Elbereth’s blessing to not despair of life. But he proved to be strong of true heart, and so he began to be called Sandaórë, which meant “trueheart.” He led Círdan’s army into battle many times, he led the elves from the havens that helped in the final defeat of Angmar. During that time also he was told be healers at the havens that he had great power in healing the stemmed from Elbereth himself. They encouraged him to develop it, but in his youth he cared not for healing and trained rather in the art of war. It was a choice that he later rued dearly. The worst thing that the curse ever did to Galdor though was at a time when he and Airelótë were in Mirkwood shortly after the Necromancer had inhabited it. He convinced Airelótë to go with him into the forest for a few days. But once again he was drawn towards evil, and in the night they were attacked by orcs, Airelótë was shot by a poisoned arrow even as Galdor awoke. Never greater was his wrath than in that hour, twenty orcs there were and yet they fled before his face, but he persuaded them and slew them all before they had gotten far. When he returned to Airelótë he did his best to heal her, but his strength in healing had been unused, and despite his efforts she died. For months after he returned to the havens he remained in his room, speaking to no one and eating little. Taking comfort in none but Sureatsa. For a long time Cirdan feared that Galdor would waste away in his grief and die, but he did not. But he did not waste away, one day when Cirdan came to his room to speak with him again he spoke finally, the first since Airelótë had died. “I cry out for death but my call is not heeded. And in mockery of my plea life only tightens its grasp on me and will not let go. Death is not for me; instead I must live forever with the knowledge of my deeds. No greater punishment can there be than that.” And from that time on Galdor slowly seemed to be healed in mind and body, but it was not so, for the rest of his life Galdor held the pain of the deaths he’d caused. And his sister’s death was always a bleeding wound that would not heal, yet he showed in to none. He also dedicated himself to fully developing his power in healing, and after he surpassed the knowledge of those at the havens he trained under Elrond himself until he reached the peak of his power.

[Anamatar IV]

Of course you can use the bird;)

Okay everyone listen:

I will start this on Saturday-anyone who has not posted their profiles (3 people) will either be excluded or will have to join in some other time later...I havent decided yet but there is still 2 days for that.;)

I will be sending out pms to the 4 people who have not posted their profiles though I have invited them.

[Anamatar IV]

The others that I sent pms to can post their profiles and we will find a way for them to come in sooner or later. I am posting the rp itself now.:D

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

Can I join the RP now? It has been a day or so of activity so... its your call Anamatar. I was thinking of Dain coming in on a horse but was too late, you know, etc. Then joins up witht hte party to avenge the fall of Amroth and his fallen kin in Erebor (he thinks there is some connection) as he was asked to lend some assistance to the Orcs that had marauded Amroth. If you dont like the idea, lemme know and well come up together with another reason on why Dain is in Amrtoh

[Anamatar IV]

I was going to have Dain show up before we leave the shores so as we left we would have some indication of who these bad guys were.;)

[ILLOTRTM]

Hello, all. I'm sorry I'm so late in joining, been busy lately. Anamatar says he has a good way to bring me into the story now, So I'll post my character:

Name: Drusilia Thorngage
Race/Creature: Human
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Birthplace: Dol Amroth
Family: Dru’s mother went by the name of Seraphina Thorngage. Drusilia knew very little about her mother because she died just after giving birth. Seraphina had long, golden-blond hair and dark green eyes. From what her father told her, Drusilia knew that her mother had the same stubborn and serious attitude that she did. Her father, Cade Thorngage, raised her from birth and traveled with her all over middle-earth. He was a ranger with a strongly sarcastic and playful personality. He had light brown, very untidy hair and bright blue eyes. Cade was killed in a war when Dru was around the age of sixteen.
Occupation: Ranger
Magic: No
Weapons: A sword and three throwing knives. She carries only three because of an old superstition her father used to tell her: Whenever times are at their worst, and you have only three shots to rely on, the first will always miss. The second will always be blocked. But the third will always be the one to hit the mark dead on.
Items: She carries a dark green, hand-woven pack that has a few bandages, random strips of cloth, a quill, and the diary her father gave her. She also has a belt she always wears made of braided leather that she made herself.
Appearance: Average human height, long brown hair with two golden-blond locks in front. Contrary to most people's first thoughts, this hair is natural. Her skin is rather tanned from all the time she spends outside. She has stirring green eyes and tends to wear earth tones and loose, comfortable clothing. Rarely does she wear cloaks and heavy clothing such as that. She doesn't like to wear armor because of the weight, but she does wear it when a serious battle is expected. As said before, she always wears her braided leather belt and boots are almost always what she wears on her feet.
Personality: Very good sense of humor, though she is more one for serious and deep conversation. Sarcasm is her way of life. She is very trustworthy, though she can be a bit misleading and stealthy at times. One of her favorite pastimes is finding loopholes for rules and ways to get around things, so she is good to have around for riddles and mind obstacles.
History: Her mother died while giving birth to her, so Drusilia is an only child. She lived and wandered with her father for years. When she was about five, they lived in Dol Amroth for about four years before taking off again. She learned swordsmanship from her father. She also learned a few blacksmithing skills from him in her lifetime. Dru’s father being a Ranger, he raised her to be one as well. Drusilia's father died in a war when she was about sixteen. Before he went off to battle, he gave Dru a diary and told her to write in it about everything that went on in her life so if he came back from the war he could catch up by reading it and never need to miss anything, and if he didn’t, he wanted her to keep a record of her life so that when it was her time to go, everyone could read about his little girl and what an incredible person she was. She has always kept her diary diligently, and she considers it the most precious item she owns. After she got word of her father’s death, she wandered on her own with no particular destination.

[Anamatar IV]

guys:
2 things:

please READ posts carefully before you post--Anamatar never returned to his cabin

And also please slow down.:( I missed something big here with an enemy ship...

[Galdor]

Yes, like Anamatar said everyone must read other post carefully. There have been a lot of places were someone said something that comtridicted what was said in a previous post. Like I said that the Haradrim are the ones who got a plank to span the gap between the ships, but then in Dain's post he says that it was my Elves who placed the plank. I don't mean to pick on Dain, but that's just the most resent mistake.

Two, Galdor is captian of the ship, so he would have been one of the first to be told when another ship was seen coming towards them. I don't mean to try and have Galdor this great guy in charge of everything, but the ship is under his command.

Three, Dain, you might want to be carfull about doing things like having everone one on the ship exsept yourself be taken in by the womens words. Remember, even with Saruman if you know what he was up to you could keep his words from poisoning you, and reconize the lie. There are many on the ship you have a iron will and would not fall under the spell of one like the women.

I don't mean to pick on anyone, but these are just a few things that I think we need to work on.

[Nenya Evenstar]

Galdor, Aden gives all things he hears to Anamatar and Anamatar alone. Anamatar is the leader of the entire expedition, including Galdor.

The RP is going fine, IMO!

[Galdor]

I agree, the rp is going fine, I was just pointing out some thing that ALL of us need to work on, includeing myself.

And yes, Anamatar is leader of the mission, but Galdor is captian of the ship. So on the ship, Galdor is in charge, and on land, Anamatar is in charge. But either way Galdor holds Anamatar's advise highly, remember they have both been through a lot together and are firm friends. I was mearly pointing out that at least one of the elves would have alerted Galdor even in those from Dol-Amroth wouldn't have.

[Nenya Evenstar]

One other thing... I don't understand why you guys tear Dain up when you yourselves made a very bad RP booboo. I introduced another character and yet you guys immediately make a big ideas about this ship. You jumped to a conclusion too fast! I think, though I could be wrong, that when someone introduces new characters into an RP that those characters are under the charge of that person. Maybe if we slowed down a bit things would get a little easier.

[Anamatar IV]

Originally posted by Anamatar IV

And also please slow down.:( I missed something big here with an enemy ship...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And I have 1 last thing to say: please let us not stray too far from the plot. We have 3 big things going on now...Dain and Urolokeo, our mission, and Drusilia and Aden falling in love. It is nice to be able to stray to the others but every once in a while make a post reverting to the mission.:)

[Galdor]

Grrrrrr, I wasn't tearing up Dain, as I said I used him as an example just because he had made the latest "booboo" that I'd noticed. I am in no way trying to tear up Dain, or say he's a bad rper or anything. Like I said, the things I pointed out were things we all need to work on, and I don't exclude myself in that statement. And what character are you talking about when you said, "I introduced another character?" I don't remember a new character being entered into the rp though I'm sure I just missed it, please explain.

[Arathin]

Yeah I think slowing down is a big thing. A lot of us missed that whole ship scene... Like me...

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

OK OK maybe I am going too fast for you guys, but I felt like we really needed to get back to the mission. Sure theres love and disdain going on in the air, but hey remember we are hunting Orcs too. In the future I will make plot changes with a discussion first, after all thats what this thread is for. But the boat thing WAS there... Nenyas post before my long and "hasty" post. OK, nuff said, I was wrong I guess, but I still think this change will work out in the end.

[Nenya Evenstar]

Galdor, my character (Dain's) was the boat. A big character. ;)

I still think this Galdor/Anamatar thing needs worked out. Galdor, if a General in a war gets on a boat, that General is not answerable to the Captain of the ship. Sure, the ship's men obey the Captain in things partaining to the ship, but other than that, the General is in charge. I don't know if this is what you're meaning, but I think this is how it should go in our RP.

[Anamatar IV]

I'm not touching this one with a 10 foot pole. Galdor, how about we let the others of the rp decide who is "in charge"

so a vote: ILL, Arathin, Dain, and Nenya on who is "in charge." But remember-who ever loses the poll is still the 2nd highest ranking on the ship.

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

I say Ana is in charge

[Nenya Evenstar]

But remember, Anamatar, Galdor is still in charge of the "ship-like" things and such no matter what. I think my scenario last post works the best... that's my vote.

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

OK, I realize I moved too fast for you all with bringing in the ship, but I merely wanted some change of pace. I had some specific plans for Helenna, but she was moved away by others. Who knows, maybe she is being sincere and wants to help us? However, it didnt work I should have discussed it first....

OK, so Nenya and I are bringing Helenna and the Harad back. Since I invented Helenna, I would prefer it if I had exclusive control over her (for the most part), I dont care about the other Harad sailors. Im gonna try to get the Harad to regain our trust again, for they will help lead us to the orcs, whatever their intentions may be.

Lemme know what you think

[Anamatar IV]

yes, I agree to that though them purdy Elven sailors need to listen to Anamatar occasionally;)

But the ship like things arent very important to me---just so long as we go North West. I envision the orcs coming from an island some miles West and North from Andrast (that penisula in the south western part of Middle earth)


EDIT: I agree to use Halenna VERY SELDOM.

[Galdor]

Ok, here's how I think things should work.

Galdor is in charge of the ship and his Elves, in otherwords if he wanted to turn around and sail home he could. And Anamatar is in charge of those from Dol-Amroth. But even though Galdor is charge of the ship and where it will go, he will follow Anamatar's lead. So even though Galdor is in charge he will follow Anamatar's orders unless he wants Galdor to do something really dumb like try to sail to Aman, or tell Galdor to send his elves on a dumb mission that they will all surely die at, etc. And I doubt any of these things will happen, so Galdor is in charge of his ship and elves, but he will follow Anamatar's lead.

[Anamatar IV]

As I said earlier: I don't care whether or not I am in charge of the ship as long as we go North and West.

And Galdor, being that you are in charge of your elves and your ship you cannot order people to stay in their cabins...and I can't order Dain (since he isnt from Dol Amroth). Agreed?

[Nenya Evenstar]

*groans* Dain has to be answerable to someone! Those who have joined the quest are under Anamatar. Galdor is in charge in the way he suggested. Gosh, why is this so hard? Why can't we just do it the good ol' way it's done in the books and in this world? You guys are going to be the death of me! ;)

[Anamatar IV]

Ah but 'tis just revenge, Nenya.;)

Does it erally matter who I am incharge of? I wont order anyone around and I assume Galdor will only order his elves. so can we please move ON?;)

[Nenya Evenstar]

Revenge! :eek:

Alright, alright! Yes, and yes! Whatever you say! I'm tired of arguing. ;)

[Galdor]

Fine with me.

Gees, everyone seems really really mad at me for placeing Dain in his room for a while to keep him out of trouble while Galdor talked with Anamatar and that elf. If you guys were so mad about it you should have just come here and asked me to change my post, and I would have.

[ILLOTRTM]

I'm afraid I don't see what the big deal is, either. I don't think it matters much. Well, if everyone's willing to just go with the way they have it here (Galdor in his said ways, Anamatar in charge of the over all mission), then I'd be happy. :D Let's just put this argument behind us. :D

[Anamatar IV]

Dain, do not forget that in my last post I had the Elven sailors take up arms. Surely, they would have seen the ship. So I do not know how to do it but there has to be some more complicated way to do the ambush. Any suggestions?

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

Well, Helenna doesnt know that...

Maybe a few Elves can be killed if Galdor is OK with that. Before that was brought to my attention, I thought it would play out as follows:

They sneak on the ship, Aden and Dru are walking on the deck, and they see them and alert others to their arms. But, this all changes now that the Elves are armed. Lets see what others think

EDIT: OK, I have a new idea. OK we have, lets see, 10 sailors, Aden, Dru, Uro, Dain, Gald, and Ana on board so that comes to 16. There is 23 of the enemy (Helenna included).. so they outnumber us. Lets say a few Elves get caught off guard (2 or 3) and are killed, but the other seven gather together and fight, Aden alongside them. Dru wakes Ana up and Galdor and Dain. We all goto fight and Urolokeo gets her new weapons after i wake her up.... sounds good to me

[Anamatar IV]

Well the problem isnt the Helenna didn't know it. The problem is that they would never have gotten the hooks onto the other ship without the elves firing them down. And there would obviously be lookouts after the first encounter with the harad ship so the ship would be espied already. So I think we either need to find a more discrete way for this to happen (like SMALLER MUCH SMALLER boats coming up to the sides of our boat and THEN attacking) or we wait until we have our guard down to have the ship of harad come in.

[Nenya Evenstar]

Why in the heck is everything so extremely complicated? Gosh! So Helenna and crew outwitted the Elves. It's happened before. Instead of posting a halt, why don't you post and fix what you think needs fixed in the next post? You have to remember that Dain is posting from Helenna's point of view. Perhaps she thinks that the Elves haven't spotted her? There was no need to halt this! Stop being so blamed technical and get on with it! :(

[Anamatar IV]

It just plain isn't believable. In my post I said the Elves were armed with bows. They would fire instantly at those that were trying to board.

There is another, equally good solution to this:

Have the ship come at night time. Maybe it was a black night. The stone of Orthanc was jet black. Possibly even the keen elf eyes could not see the ship at night. That might work, might it?

[Nenya Evenstar]

You aren't getting the point! Dain's post was from Helenna's point of view. She did not know that the Elves have bows. If you said the Elves were armed with bows, then so be it! Have them armed with bows! All you need to do is post another post saying that the Elves begin to shoot. It's not this hard. We don't need to plan anything! Have the Elves shoot if you want!

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

I agree with the Nen-miester. Elves arent all powerful, they can hear well, but remember these people are used to doing this sort of thing. They are professionals at these things. I dont see the need for a halt

EDIT: OK, I have a new idea. OK we have, lets see, 10 sailors, Aden, Dru, Uro, Dain, Gald, and Ana on board so that comes to 16. There is 23 of the enemy (Helenna included).. so they outnumber us. Lets say a few Elves get caught off guard (2 or 3) and are killed, but the other seven gather together and fight, Aden alongside them. Dru wakes Ana up and Galdor and Dain. We all goto fight and Urolokeo gets her new weapons after i wake her up.... sounds good to me

Thats what i said earlier incase u missed it

[ILLOTRTM]

I'm all for solutions! Solutions good!... wait, I thought it was already night? D'you mean another night? Well, whatever. As far as the halt thing goes... not a big deal to me. Anamatar probably just wanted to be sure this was sorted out first.....
Oh no... now I'm gonna be invovled...... :(

[Anamatar IV]

Okay I think we are come to a solution.

First, I meant deeper into the night. I think in Dain's post he said dawn was coming on.

But here is what will happen:

Dain will edit his post to make it a bit darker, I will edit my halt to put in his solution.:) The halt is gone

And let us hope (for all our sake) that we will never have to make a halt again and have Nenya chew us up and spit out our bones.;)

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

And let us hope (for all our sake) that we will never have to make a halt again and have Nenya chew us up and spit out our bones.

Uh oh Anamatar... pray to God to recieve your soul after you are killed. :p

And I think we decided to have Dru and Aden alert the rest of the Rogues.

[Anamatar IV]

Okay a note to all:

The fight is moving a bit quick, yes. Please do not complain of it moving too fast tomorrow. There is very little that you would even miss. But me and Dain HAVE to duel between Anamatar and Helenna.

we will not move the duel fast and the skirmish is not over. But the battle will end when the duel does. You can post of the fight whenever you wish.:)

[Nenya Evenstar]

Don't worry, I won't chew up your bones. I'm sorry, but I was extremely crabby this afternoon and I think I took it out on you, Anamatar. Please forgive me, those of you who had to put up with my bout of temper. :) I usually don't lose my temper! :eek:

I'm glad you reached a decision! :)

[ILLOTRTM]

Wow.... I'm not complaining, but that battle did move fast! I never even saw any of it! :D Really, though, I'm NOT complaining, I'm not! :D

[Galdor]

Oh right....she's not complaining.....We all believe her, right? She's just makeing a comment...but she's not complaining.


lol, j/k

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

OK now that we're all alive... RIP two Elves... where are we going now? Where shall the two rogue men lead us to?

Perhaps the forest peninsula under the Grey Havens? I personally think that little gulf in Umbar would do nicely...

[Nenya Evenstar]

Ahh! Little gulf in Umbar. Yes! I think that would do nicely too. I am a little confused as to why we are heading north anyway. What's north? There are no orcses up north... only nice lands filled with humans. I don't know why the orcs would go that way.... Turning around and heading south-east might be better.

[Galdor]

Here was what I was thinking.

Right now Sureatsa is out scouting for us, so I was thinking of having her come back and tell us of a small forest island that had some old huts on the shore. We would sail to it, check out the island, decide that the huts had been made by shipwrecked sailors long ago. Repair any damege on the ship, etc. And then set out agian.

[Anamatar IV]

Well originally I was thinking of having an Island...not anywhere on Middle-earth just an island.

THe exact reason we WANT to go North--all throughout Lord of the Rings the evil comes from the East and South. If we read UT we learn Gondor puts more defences to the east and south than north and west. The bay of belfalas has only been attacked from the south

Now these Orcs are smart. They know that men of Amroth would instantly go south...as we started out. But I have Anamatar feel that we go north. Here is where I wanted it to be:

take a map of middle earth.

Locate Andrast.

Some 50-200 miles to the west of that is where I want the island to be. I like Galdor's idea of the island with the bird (can't spell it;))

[Galdor]

Ok, what should I do with the prisoners? And should the Elves find any maps or anything on Helenna's ship?

[Anamatar IV]

I want you to show mercy for the men, Galdor.

I dont think maps would be good since we do not want a clear cut answer to where they are. We know they are north and west right now.

Nom will be joining us in the rp as a bad guy soon.:D

[Nenya Evenstar]

The only problem I have with an island is that there IS no island. :rolleyes: I think it would be fine if we just locate the Orc ship. I simply have a problem with there being an orc habitation in the north at the time of peace that we're talking about here. Hence why I want to go south. The orcs may sail north, but they would only sail north to attempt to lose any pursuers. After that they'd return home: east or south.

[Anamatar IV]

Islands have been made by hand throughout our history so we know it has been done. Possible these orcs dumped loads of sand there!;)

Remember after Sauron was overthrown Gondor kept a watch on Mordor, where the main threat had come from? after the war of the ring Sauron is gone the main threat to watch over is the empty lands of Harad. Plus we already know that they can't be from Harad since the rogues of Harad are helping the Orcs.

[Nenya Evenstar]

Ack! I give up! Still doesn't make sense to me though for all my aforesaid reasons. Oh well. :rolleyes: I'm tired of fighting with you people. :(

[Anamatar IV]

:p

is there a problem with doing something different? Whenever you say bad guy in all the rps you go south and east south and east. How about north and west FOR ONCE!;)

or a compramise? 1 Island north 1 south!:rolleyes:

hey everyone, I made 2 logos for this rp...one was too big to post *scoffs* so here is the first (also worst of the two;)) logo for mists unknown

http://www.thetolkienforum.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=229329

[Nenya Evenstar]

I really like it Anamatar! Very nice! The mists in the background with the light shining through makes for quite the cool affect. It's very fitting to the RP.

[Anamatar IV]

YAY! I figured out a way to get the bigger one to a smaller size so I can post it.;)

[Arathin]

that first one is really cool. I can't wait to see the second one.

[Anamatar IV]

The island I just introduced is NOT the island from where the Orcs are coming. This will be that abandoned island we were talking about.

[Nenya Evenstar]

Sounds good. When and where is Confy coming in? :)

[Anamatar IV]

Any time. Won't matter either way. Any time she could chirp in.:)

[Nenya Evenstar]

I think, and I may very well be wrong, but I think that she is confused as to what exactly you have planned. What do you have planned for the bad guys? What is their purpose? Is there anything particular they should be doing? Is there anything they can't do?

[Anamatar IV]

Well...I think she can attack Dol Amroth again but NOT as effective since their army (dol amroth that is) is prepared now. She can send ships to waylay and capture us and take us prisoner to their island. She can do anything that an evil lord would during times of war;)

Okay then. I shall join in soon and do what I will.
If I error.... even slightly, please let me know.

Were the Haradrim that Galdor was sending to Cirdan on their ship when it went down?

**************************
I have replied and I anxiously await your comments.
[Insert worried smilie]

[Nenya Evenstar]

Were the Haradrim that Galdor was sending to Cirdan on their ship when it went down?
I have absolutely no idea! I was wondering this myself. I also am still wondering what Galdor got out of the two men... seems to me that he should have at least gotten something important out of them before letting them leave. I tried twice in the RP to find out, but no one answered. :( :rolleyes: ;)

Nom, I think that your part is just the lord of the dark side. You can do whatever you want with the evil people including making your own plans as to why they attacked Dol-Amroth, etc. Beseige us, attack us, plot against us, anything. Who knows, maybe you'll even win? ;)

[Anamatar IV]

HEY!:mad: I thought Anamatar got some good stuff out of them.

;)

A little error on my part.:o I forgot the Haradrim were going to Cirdan so lets just assume they were given a small boat. 2 people can't sail a SHIP such a long way alone...

[Galdor]

WHAT THE FREAKING HECK ARE YOU GUYS THINKING???????? YOU KILLED MY BIRD?????? AND COOKED HER?????????.

Ok, really, I don't mind if you guys really injure Sureatsa like Dain did, though it would take more then one axe to take down Sureatsa in giant form. So please, Nenya and Dain, go back and edit your post so that no body killed my bird!!!!

[Dr. Ransom]

lol lol lol lol
Tasted like Chicken... right?

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

Awww Galdor... we were just joking. HAHAHAHA it was pretty funny though! Mmmm mmm tasted like chicken! I will edit it of course, that was my intentions anyway, I just wanted to provoke a reaction. Why? Well... because its fun! :D

[Galdor]

Ya, I know. But it was fun to give you my reaction anyway. If it had just been your post I might have believed it, but Nenya knows how much I love that bird. lol

[Nenya Evenstar]

:D:D:D:D:D:D Hahaha!!!! Galdor, you knew we weren't being serious! That was the whole point...to make something totally unbelievable that couldn't happen. I must admit I talked Dain into doing it, and I enjoyed every bit of it! I owed you one for your history class. ;)

[Anamatar IV]

would anyone mind if I like NOT POSTED in the rp for a while because I have no clue to what we are doing. hehehehe....all my posts would be going around in circles until someone chirps up about a plan;)

[Arathin]

I think Galdor is the one that has to chirp up about the plan... He has something up his sleeve and we are all basically waiting for him to pull it out.

[Anamatar IV]

oh boy....Galdor....did you really have something up your sleeve?

Last time I talked to you I thought we both had nothing;)

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

Yes yes I know I posted something radical... but I felt the whim to do so.. and it would make for a fun battle scene! Yay!

So dont halt, just make it up. Maybe the creature can be a Dragon, a Balrog? Or the old man caught on fire? Hrrooooom? Who knows? I sure dont...:p

But I think whatever this thing is taht is turning the sky red should be something to do with the Old man, and i have no idea as to what he is doing.

[Anamatar IV]

yeah okay....just no Dragons. I am pretty sure Smaug was the last one (unless he kept little baby dragons hidden in that pile of gold and the dwarves didn't notice). Maybe Shelob? We never knew what happened to her...like maybe Shelob was using the Old man to lure us to her.

EDIT:

Hey, Galdor....you aren't using them things from the Mithril KNights rp, are you?:D if you are, great idea!

[Galdor]

Hmm, I never thought of that, I guess we could use one of those beast thingys from the MK rp. But more what I was thinking is that the old man is someone like a Maia who fell to evil and was cast out onto the island. And so he would be kinda like Tom Bombidil, on his island he is master, but he can't leave it. But hey, we could throw in some of those beat dudes too.

[Galdor]

Hey Anamatar, we were posting at the same time, but you finished yours first. Mine though preseeds yours well well, so if you don't mind would you please delete your post and then repost in after mine? Thanks

[Anamatar IV]

done and done.

BTW--is that a REAL maia from books that I have not read, Galdor? Like from HoMe or something?

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

No... I made it up, very inventive no?

[Anamatar IV]

yes, very....although I think the worm hairs has been done before;)

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

Nooooooooooooooo! *shifty eyes*

Well maybe! Just in Star Wars.. and Medusa.. and o ****!

*hides*

[Arathin]

Very imaginative, you three. Very imaginative.

[Anamatar IV]

Just so everyone knows, that beast is NOT Yagdrassil. It is a totally made up thing that CAN be killed. And I don't mean Maia killed where you can't fully kill them. In one rp 3 of us killed a whole lot of them (remember, Nenya and Galdor?:D). So keep in mind these things can be killed, are not supreme fighters, is not Yagdrassil, and if you look it in the eye unless you have a reason that the spell can't affect you, you are paralyzed temorarily.

[Arathin]

Indeed. I at least already figured out/made up that last part! One would only hope that the others had figured that little fact out...

Sorry I am feeling very very sarcastic tonight... Picking through the sarcasm of that above would get you a big fat:

I think we get it!!!!

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

I'm feeling very particular today.

Anamatar: Yagdrassil could not have talked, his mouth was bound with a thread of sinew, sown shut.

Galdor: why do Urolokeo and I always have to go back to the ship? I had thought we made it obvious that we did not wish to be there since we almost killed your bird :p (mmmm tastes like chicken) Are we going to help your Elves kill the lesser demons or something?

I'm grumpy. Physical therapy starts tomorrow. Fun! :rolleyes:

[Anamatar IV]

Mouth bound with sinew in his physical form....but he's a maia;)

But actually, Dain, he could talk. You yourself made him speak:

Laszhaghal yar'rgg zhaga! Khayaga- lazhaga!

Just assume he spoke from the same place, then:D

[Galdor]

Ack! I never said that Dain had to go back to the ship. And notice that I didn't post anything about the elf actualy leaving with Urolokeo? I know that niether of you want to leave, but the only smart thing for Galdor to do was to send Urolokeo back to the ship, as a unconious elf isn't much good. So if you can think of a way to revive Urolokeo, or some reason why a wounded elf wouldn't taken back to the ship it's fine with me. That's why I didn't post her being taken back to the ship, I only posted Galdor giving the order......but no one seems to be obeying his orders anyway......:p

[Arathin]

Big surprise... Urolokeo is not going back to the ship... I bet no one saw that one coming *sarcasm*. yeah, well at least this is an interesting rp, unlike a few others I can name.

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

Anamatar!

Laszhaghal yar'rgg zhaga! Khayaga- lazhaga! the demon spoke, but not through his mouth, for that was sewn closed with a strand of sinew

He did not SPEAK through his MOUTH or with QUOTATIONS! He used ITALICS to suggest he was using TELEPATHY or other means of communication! ARGHHHH CHANGE IT OR I WILL GO CRAZY!

[Anamatar IV]

Easy, lil' Dwarf-dude. I edited it. I got rid of the quotations and put in italics. No Dwarf rampaging and going crazy now, right?

[Arathin]

*pats the OLD ;) Dwarf on the head* easy there. We don't want any bloodshed in here do we, my dwarven friend? :D ;)

[Anamatar IV]

Let's uh not have super powers come to Galdor, okay?;)

I'm not saying that something special can't happen with him and all that but nothing too drastic. Like no showers of acid or the stars falling and slicing up Yagdrassil and that stuff. right?:rolleyes:

[Galdor]

Ohhh, I was going to have Galdor morph into demon form, summon up some feral spirits, call down starfall and to finish it all up cast a lighting bolt right into the demon to burn him into dust............:rolleyes:

[Nenya Evenstar]

Feeling sarcastic everyone, are we? So is Aden. :rolleyes: Or perhaps he is just mirroring me? :p

Anyway, sorry to everyone if I'm slow. As many of you know I'm grounded and cannot post still for two more weeks. Maybe I'll get another night like this sometime, maybe not.

[ILLOTRTM]

Hey guys :D
I just updated Dru's profile in case anyone wanted to know ;) I'm sorry I haven't posted in a little while. I attempted to, but I must say, I really don't know what to with Dru right now. I'll get something worked out soon :D

[Anamatar IV]

I don't think any of us know what to do right now. We can't rush head long into a battle with this Maia again. I had initially planned on leaving the island and then meeting Yagdrassil later on in the story as a big climax. But apparently that will not happen. So what will we do?

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

Well we can use the scale for something. maybe channel its energy through Galdor... ahh I do not know. I wanted Adrian to "appear" somehow, like an illusion, Yagdrassil quails for a moment, and then we all converge upon him, Galdor delivering the death blow.

[Anamatar IV]

But there is the thing. There is no fight with this Yagdrassil. You can't deflect his mace the size of your own head. So possibly just having him flee will work?

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

Why do YOU get to decide whether or not we fight Yagdrassil or not? I am sure Galdor would love to kill his curser! Maia CAN be defeated... Saruman was killed by a lowly human! Sure Yagdrassil would come back, but whos to say the Valar wouldnt have fun and make him "Yagdrassil the Terrible Earthworm"

I say we kill it, and no one will stop Dain from trying.

[Arathin]

A Maia??? Flee??? You've got to be kidding me!!! I would like to see the day a maia would flee from a high elf, a dark elf, a dwarf, and three humans.

[Anamatar IV]

A maia can be killed but you built Yagdrassil up to be a supreme being towering above the trees with a mace of fire and worms as hair, Dain.:rolleyes:

I was just suggesting having Yagdrassil flee AFTER SEEING THE IMAGE OF ADRIAN.:p

Whatever. Have an Elf jump up 10 feet and stab him for all I care.;)

[Galdor]

I think that the Maia must be killed, we have built up to story so that if we don't kill him it would be really dumb. I don't really care how he is killed. Just remeber about Sureatsa, she is a very very big bird and will fight. She doesn't have to do anything with the Maia, but I just don't want everyone to forget about her.

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

O ho Anamatar! But you are wrong mon ami!

You can't deflect his mace the size of your own head.

A maia can be killed but you built Yagdrassil up to be a supreme being towering above the trees with a mace of fire and worms as hair, Dain.

Ok Anamatar here is my post from Mists Unknown, describing Yagdrassil:

A man stood, eight feet tall, his arms and face covered with sores and scars of black. He was robed in a black cape, and many heads of Orcs and Elves and long bearded Men and Dwarves were upon his belt, and he bore a mace wreathed in flame. He had no hair, in its place were slimy tendrils that pulsed and moved on their own.

Funny... eight feet doesnt seem to be towering over trees... :confused: Also, I refer to him as a MAN, so therefore he is humanoid and SHAPED LIKE A MAN! Sure he has worms for hair, and a mouth sewn shut, but STILL he is manlike in appearance, so he is not so TOWERING after all, just a little over a foot towering. Also, his mace was not the size of my head! Thats a little extravagent Anamatar, Dwarves have fairly large heads, and an eight foot Mannish thing could not wield something so large: remember a mace is a one handed weapon, of the club class.

He is very defeatable, and no Anamatar:

Whatever. Have an Elf jump up 10 feet and stab him for all I care

This will not be necessary.

[Anamatar IV]

Ah but Dain you fail to see my point. I don't see why he has to die. This is a perfect chance for us to show how great Adrian really was: he can scare away this Maia. You can't deflect a mace with a sword period (maybe your axe, Dain, but most of us have swords). If we have Yagdrassil be killed and a preselected person kill it there is nothing for us who will not kill it to do. When the guy has a mace it's one of three things:

He bashes our heads in
He makes shards of our swords
We kill it

That is all that can be done. If Galdor will indeed kill it then half of the players can't do anything. But if we have it flee we can do it like this:

I post of the initial combat where we are running from his mace and such

Dain posts of us almost despairing and then mentions to Urolokeo the dragon scale

Arathin posts of Adrian coming

Galdor posts of Yagdrassil fleeing

ILL posts for Nenya of the aftermath.

Things just work so much better when we have him flee.

[Galdor]

I have a better idea. Why don't we have Adrian's spirit kill the thing? I mean they're both spirits, I htink that'd be cool.

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

Anamatar! Yagdrassil is NOT fleeing. We are destroying it! That is all that there is to it... why you ask? Well... because our ship is going to be... incapacitated.

*Runs to post*

[Anamatar IV]

Easy, Dain! No need to get so huffed puffed about it. My only concern with killing it is those of us that won't kill it will have nothing to do.

And Galdor, I don't think Adrian can kill him since Adrian is....erm....non existent currently;)

[Galdor]

Hey, I just updated Galdor's profile. It's on the first page if you want to look at it.

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

OK, just kill Yaggy now... lets be creative. Also, the ship isnt totally destroyed due to its make. However it IS getting damaged, and Elves may or may not be getting killed, depending on what Galdor wants.

[Anamatar IV]

Hehehe. Can't win them all.:D

I am itching to post because I think I've got a good one lined up....but I am not sure how to use the Dragon Scale. Could someone enlighten me?

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

I think Arathin can decide how to harness the power of the scale. She can do whatever she wants....:p

[Arathin]

Wow. I have like unlimited power. like shock. tear.

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

Uhhh... why is Galdor crying?

And why does Arathin not have an avatar?

SO MANY QUESTIONS

[Nóm]

I typed up a big reply and lost it!

Anyhow Dain asked me about the RP in another thread and said that he doesn't know who I am or whatnot.

I suppose I am just in control of the orcs. I left my ships coming in at you guys, and since the one coming in from the east could see your ship, the elves should be able to see my ships at anytime now. Just write it in when you want to. Or should I have them attack without warning? I have no real plan for the enemy whoever it is, I tried to keep one but I was unable to keep it in harmony with the rest of the RP... that is, whoever the head bad guy is.... he would have to be either stupid to have taken the actions he has taken, or have a plan beyond my knowledge. I rather think he has a plan beyond my knowledge.

So, I'm just staying on the edge of things. You guys can initiate the next controntation with my orc ships, as soon as you see them I will post for them.

Also, keep in mind that the ships coming in may not reach your ship all at the same time, so you guys have freedom of saying when they come within sight. Unless you rather I strike without warning you (not your characters, who I have left it up to you to warn as you will)?

[Anamatar IV]

Well, Nom, if attack us you're gonna have to either kill all of Galdor's Elves or capture us. We only have like 10 Elves left. Or we could do this cool little plot twist where you suddenly come upon our ship back there, capture the people on it and the ship (without knowing that we were not on the ship) and then we discover the ship gone?

And Dain, Galdor is crying from a reason very personal and ambiguous reason why he is crying....if real life Galdor wants to tell you guys he should be the one to.;)

[Galdor]

We don't have ten elves anymore, we started out with ten, but two were killed when the bad dudes attacked our ship, and I figure I'll have to say that 2-3 died from those demons that hit the ship. So that takes us down to only about five elves......and I personally think we shouldn't kill all of them off beofre we even find the orcs main base....

And as to why Galdor's crying.....I've only told Anamatar, since Anamatar is the only one amonst us that would know why Galdor's crying.

I would tell everyone, but I don't feel like typeing it out right now.....but if you guys want to know just ask me on MSN sometime and I'll fill you in.

So explicit, Galdor! ;)

Well... we could always have the Elves get "news from the wind" that orcs are coming and sail the ship around the island. We would then go to the shore, see the orc ship, and think that our friends perished. We could then spend some time mourning on the island until we see the friendly face of one of the lost elven folk. :p Then, we'd find our ship and sail on our way while the orcs are still searching on and around the island for us.

Normally I'd post now, but I have no idea what Galdor has in mind, so I'll wait for him.

[Galdor]

I don't have anything in mind. Galdor finds healing at night under the stars, that is why he left camp. He'll just spend the night keeping an eye on the camp, and purgeing himself of his grief. So really you can do whatever you want, I wouldn't mind anyone going out to talk with Galdor either. I'm just playing Galdor as he would act with nothing in mind.


btw, the circlet of the silver was the crown of Galdor's father, now his.

[Anamatar IV]

Yes, post anything you like, but DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE SHIP PLEASE! I have something planned for it so please don't have it float back to the island, have storms lift it and bring it back to us, shipwreck it, or do ANYTHING with it please! Thank you.:)

[Galdor]

Arathin, would you mind editing your post to say that Sureatsa was with Galdor? I forgot all about her....but it seems only right that she'd be with him. Thanks

[Galdor]

Hey, just to let you guys know, "A vanima isilmëiel" means "oh daughter of moonlight."

[Arathin]

ok thank you, Galdor.

[Galdor]

Gees Anamatar, you scared me when you had Galdor throw the Elvea into the sea, anyway, I suppose that since he got it back I'll let it pass.....btw, it's not just a jewel, it's a circlet of silver with the jewel placed on the front, Galdor's crown.

[Anamatar IV]

I'll keep that in mind next time. For you, Galdor, keep in mind to read my posts because when I first introduced this is was a jewel from the sails of the ship.;)

[Galdor]

Ack! It was?......Oh well, sorry.

[Arathin]

haha gotta love the posting confusion...

so hey ana, feel like filling the rest of us in on this "Plot" of yours? or are we to guess and mostly likely cross the "plot line"?

[Anamatar IV]

Huh? I just did it! Ulmo helping us! Maybe Galdor or I will do a flashback of Elbereth asking Ulmo to do those things for her or something later but that was it.

[Galdor]

Hmm, maybe we could say that well Galdor was alone before Arathin woke up he was calling upon Elbereth to help......

[Arathin]

Nice post, Dain. I especially like that last sentence.

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

O yes, such a clever choice of words
