IC: Baranlas stood and the gates of Minas Tirith,there was a gentle breeze on the air, as of yet he hadnt been informed on who was joining him, he reached in to his pack a brought out his pipe, he lit it and the whisps of smoke drifted off

LegolasLuver

02-05-2003, 02:44 AM

Ankinseth saw an elf and a man talking to each other so he decided to say hello.

greypilgrim

02-07-2003, 04:14 AM

Here's my profile:

Bill the Troll
Age- ?
Height.- 12 ft.
Weight.- 1760 lbs

Weapons- A very large hammer, with 16 riveted-spikes around the top and sides, and a chain 6 ft long (why not?)

Clothing- just enough... dirty rags, and a belt
Appearance- A huge ugly Troll! Dark green, thick, hard scaly skin. Scales and bumps all over me, warts on my hands and feet. Very large upper body, short legs. Big head. Big muscles. Carries a small purse.

Personality- Very shy, very self-consious, humble, and also not very smart. Bill cannot speak. Because of this, his "family" rejected him, and he has wandered the dangerous parts of Middle Earth since then, helping out the victims of bandits, thieves, ruffians, etc., wherever he can, a helpful exile.
Bill is a Troll with feelings....
Bill knows his image is not well liked, and knows he is very ugly and threatening to look at. He wishes he looked different, and feels very lonely all the time. He's never had any friends, and cries alot because nobody loves him. He is tired of being alone.
He will love and be loyal to those that show him kindness, laying down his life to protect them. Opposite that towards anybody that treats him badly.

Last seen- camping out in Mirkwood

IC- Bill the Troll stands there, feeling very out of place. He looks around nervously, hoping no-body notices him. He tries to hide behind a tree, embarrassed. When that fails, he comes back, trying to avoid people's glances,
He thinks to himself....."maybe if I smile, they will let me go with them!"
:D :D :D

APPEARANCE: Silver hair, long fringe, short at back. Pale skinned. Scar down left cheek. Blue eyes. 6’2. Slim.
PERSONALITY: A natural loner with an angry temperament. He is quick to provoke, and will not hold back in a fight. He is rather arrogant, and believes himself above most people.
He is well spoken and may have had an aristocratic upbringing.
WEAPONS/ ARMOUR: Custom built plate Armour, covered in spikes. Dark blue in colour. Distinctive helmet, visor ends in beak like point.

OCCUPATION: Often works as a mercenary

IC:
A man wearing blue spiked armour approached the group.
“I’m here to join the hunt. My name is Stratmarrius” he announced.
He regarded the gigantic troll.
“What is this…thing?” he asked, turning up his nose with a look of disdain.

LegolasLuver

02-07-2003, 05:53 PM

"this THING is a troll and as far as i can see a friendly troll. i wouldnt make it angry by calling it a THING if i were you b/c it could take you out just like that" i say with a snap of a finger

Seraph

02-07-2003, 10:19 PM

“I’ve fought plenty of trolls, and as you can see I’m still here” Stratmarrius said.
He put his helmet on.
“Besides, the dumb brute probably can’t understand what I’m saying”.

greypilgrim

02-08-2003, 12:56 AM

He can understand common-speech.

Bill glances at Lailonniel, the fair wandering Elven Princess of Mirkwood, :o embarrassedly...after hearing her speak of him.
He then stands up to his full height, picking up his hammer, and looks down at the human ..... :mad:?
Doesn't want to start any trouble.....

Seraph

02-08-2003, 01:34 AM

Stratmarrius stood his ground, unflinching. The troll was almost six-foot taller than him, and immensely huge.
“Look how quick it is to anger! That thing should be kept on a leash”.

LegolasLuver

02-08-2003, 01:40 AM

"well i would see why he would get angry easy, since you keep calling him a THING which he is not, and i think you should respect him and maybe he will respect you" I send a telepathis message to the troll:i wouldnt listen to him....

OOC: i can read minds and i will know exactly what the troll is thinking so i can tell everyone else i can also send telepathic messages through peoples minds

Anira the Elf

02-08-2003, 01:42 AM

-Have I come at a bad time?- Liriel asks as she sees the contraversy play out. *turns to stare at the blue armored arrogant human* - After you see ME fight you will have no trouble at all accepting me as eather your friend, or enemy.-

OOC: Liriel is a dark elf. she has( as all dark elves do) have ebony colored skin and long silvery white hair.

Seraph

02-08-2003, 02:30 AM

Stratmarrius ceased his hostility towards the troll for the time being. But glared at him though the eye slits in his helmet, the only part of him that could be seen beneath his armour.
He turned to face Lailonniel.
“I care not for it’s "respect", nor yours".
He then addressed Liriel.
“I look forward to seeing you in action”.

Neothen

02-08-2003, 02:34 AM

Ankinseth starts laughing. " I know a Golem that can speak the common speach he is very smart. I can tell that this troll is no different except that he can't speak. I don't see why you can't trust him. I have been surounded by two dragons a griffin a Golem and an ogre at the same time and they all were my friends." Ankinseth looks at the troll with an understanding look.

LegolasLuver

02-08-2003, 02:35 AM

"well i demand respect and respect for the troll.. i can have you away with b/c i am a Princess and i do have the power to do so. now i will try and respect your wishes and try to be friends with you. but i would also like you to try and be nice the this troll. please just give him a chance and please give me a chance. i dont like being enemies with anyone and i wish not to be an enemy to you." i say with a slight bow of my head

Seraph

02-08-2003, 02:58 AM

Stratmarrius leaned towards Lailonniel. The tip of his beak like helmet was just inches from her face.
“Anything you say, “my lady”” he said with a mock curtsy.

LegolasLuver

02-08-2003, 03:07 AM

*i look back at him with a strange exspession on my face...* i send him a telepathic message: please dont get so close, and i would rather try to make peace with you and be more friendly where we arent at each others throats the whole time

Seraph

02-08-2003, 03:24 AM

“Stay out of my head!” he yelled.
The others looked at him strangely. He went and stood by himself.

LegolasLuver

02-08-2003, 03:34 AM

*i walk over to Stratmarrius* "im sorry i dont mean to get in your head... sometimes i send telepathic messages without thinking"

greypilgrim

02-08-2003, 05:26 AM

:confused:...All this talk about Bill has made him quite confused and nervous, to say the least. He's not used to so much attention.

He had hoped to make some friends for once, and do deeds that could help the many good people of Middle Earth.
But he's used to people not liking him, and decides to just remain out of the way.:(

omnipotent_elf

02-08-2003, 10:07 AM

OOC: sorry i havent been here much lately......

IC: *starts knawing at legolasluvers legs*
mmmmm........ princessy
*releases hold on legs*
btw, what wolf activities are there today?

Neothen

02-08-2003, 10:45 PM

Ankinseth walked up to the troll and looked up. Ankinseth never usually used his magic that offen but know seemed like good time, so he sent a message. "Don't worry troll, sum are just afraid of you, what is your name?"

LegolasLuver

02-09-2003, 04:17 PM

"get off my leg!!!!"
Sends telepathic message to the Troll: I'm not afraid of you, and you dont have to leave.. can you send telepathic messages?? if you can we can talk by sending them back and fourth....

"well shouldnt we be off soon?? we should not linger"

greypilgrim

02-10-2003, 02:59 AM

Bill sees Ankinseth coming towards him, then hears his voice in his head. He looks into his eyes like he understands his last comment. He thinks hard to remember his name. He finally remembers hearing them call him Bill as a little troll, but not too much.:confused:
Then there is another voice suddenly, and he looks at Laionniel, and he knows her as the nice one...he smiles, and looks dumbly at her face.
He's going to try to be careful of what he thinks from now on...

LegolasLuver

02-10-2003, 03:03 AM

*i smile back at Bill*

"well anyways we should be off..." i kick Wahini and canter off hoping everyone else will follow*

greypilgrim

02-10-2003, 04:18 AM

Wait! Where are we going? Where are we?

LegolasLuver

02-10-2003, 04:21 AM

*i stop* "we are going east of the Misty Mountains, and we are in Lothlorien"

greypilgrim

02-10-2003, 05:02 AM

Bill looks from her, back to the gate of Minas Tirith, then thinks to himself..."This isn't Elf-wood-country, oh well" Lumbers off in the direction of Laionniel.... Goes and gets his chain which he has hidden real quick. Didn't want anyone to think he was savage.
Trying not to think too much, only follow. Stops and looks back at the others.:confused:

LegolasLuver

02-10-2003, 05:05 AM

OOC: i dont really know where we are lol i just made something up

"arent you all coming" i say not even looking back...

greypilgrim

02-10-2003, 06:26 AM

:confused:

LegolasLuver

02-10-2003, 05:53 PM

OOC: lol 4get i said anything it doesnt make sense....

IC: "are you all coming or not" i say again

Baranlas

02-10-2003, 07:45 PM

OOC: sorry all i was lost the internet for a long time

IC: "hmm some company here, im guessing that your all coming then, as i had little information on who would be coming"
he stood there still smoking his pipe waiting for their replies

greypilgrim

02-10-2003, 11:29 PM

:D (yes, and he's happy about everyone accepting him)

Seraph

02-11-2003, 05:15 AM

“Why else would we be here? Is this all of us?”

greypilgrim

02-11-2003, 06:56 AM

Looks around. :rolleyes: He thinks it might rain soon.

LegolasLuver

02-11-2003, 05:13 PM

"yes i belive this is all of us.. and we should be off soon to find shelter.... it looks like rain"
*i glance at Bill and smile seeing that i read his mind*

Seraph

02-14-2003, 04:44 AM

Stratmarrius observed some of the others.
“A spoilt princess, a half-wit troll, a wolf, and a dark elf. Well at least things won’t be dull”.
He mounted his armoured horse.
“Are we going then?”.

Neothen

02-14-2003, 07:11 PM

"You forgot the steadfast Warlock." Ankinseth said with a bit of sarcasm. He called for his brown horse and mounted it while mumbling to himself.

LegolasLuver

02-14-2003, 11:03 PM

"a spoilt princess eh? Humph..... Well lets go then" *i call Wahini over and mount him ad kick him to a canter down a trail*

greypilgrim

02-15-2003, 03:17 AM

Stays close to elf-princess, watchful of Stratimarius.

Thunder overhead.

Anira the Elf

02-15-2003, 03:18 AM

"You better not forget me!!" *swings up on her nameless jet black horse and gallopes off at top speed* " IS any one going to follow?!" she yells back *laughs wildly and takes the first right o nthe path. Dark elf?? she thinks to herself as she rides on with jis level of arrogancy you think her would be able to remember names.

LegolasLuver

02-15-2003, 06:54 AM

"ok then!!" *i kick Wahini into a full gallop and catch up to Anira quickly*

greypilgrim

02-16-2003, 06:16 AM

Unfriends and friends, they are so strange together, thinks Bill.

It's starting to get late, and he feels a little nervousness coming on. It's not because he is scared of the dark.
Bill's chain is dangling on the ground as he walks, hammer slung over the shoulder. It's starting to drizzle, I guess we're walking in single file on the trail.....
