Yes, funny you should mention that! She's incredibly agile, like a tightrope walker indeed. (remember she's the worlds best catburglar, can walk around VISIBLE and remain undetected if that's what she's trying to do, plus scale walls and all sorts of gymnast-y types of things!)Are you referring to that rope-across-the-river thing that the Fellowship did that one time?

Here's a picture of Laslech. I wanted to make her black, after I thought about it, so that she can be a true Nazgul horse. Is this O.K., Shah?

Perfectly fine with me, she IS black, all my horses for the most part are. Except Volri, Ithilion, Rakhsh, and a few others. One thing though, she isnt and Arab, she is a Barb. I'll see if I have a picture of her.

Hey Rian, looks like Mahtaliel was able to join you in front of Orrodel after all.

Yes! Yessssssss!!!!!! *punches fist in air*
(I was hoping you would!!!! Or else our rpg might have ended very quickly and unpleasantly!! ) I'm not sure when I'll be able to respond, but I'll try to tomorrow, between battling a cold, attending soccer games, and hosting company at our house ... (weekends are NOT generally good for posting for me! But they're good family times )

Now that was a very daring way to solve the Melwen-problem. I find it kind of funny that while the Morgul-Lord just reminded them to lay low, they use no other way to get rid of Melwen than publically march her through the street and throw her of the bridge. Interesting interpretation of their lord's order. And while we're on the subject on interpretation, I have run into such a problem. I was re-reading somewhat on the Info-thread to refresh a few things and I came across this in the nazgul-rules: Quote:

Rian, re your post #461 "For the one that I live in has servants going where they shouldn't at all hours of the night, and servants going missing, and wine bottles strewn around the kitchen."
Please remove "servants going missing"! That is a dead give-away. Khamul is not stupid. The scene is set at DAWN, while Zimra started looking for Melwen around NINE AM. So, Khamul will not disclose his knowledge of Melwen's disappearance before she was told about it by his servants. Actually, I think, rpg-Rian is too haughty even for a servant that has decided to quit. Any employer would have got mad and rightly. Moreover, Lilly told her when she was hired, that NO ELVES were allowed in the house. And now, lo and behold, you are bringing three! Rian, Please, post the conversation of Arastud and Zimra in the stable. Zimra accusing him of ravishing her cousin. Quote:

I don't see problem here. Nazgul in invisible mode are in Spirit World, exactly like nazgul in LOTR and like Sam and Frodo with the Ring on. Quote:
Quote:
But still, they are not completely blind. Sam found his way to Shelob's tunnel and followed the orcs, he even found that in the dark he saw more than usually. Nazgul travelled in ME on their own and could find their way. Actually they could even use maps and lists of names they have got from Saruman’s spy (see UT I made Aiwendis use her nose, more than her eyes when moving through corridors with servants. The ML, Aiwendis and Tolvadok found their way to Orrodel, but probably could not admire the mansion's architecture. And Buz and Khamul located Melwen in the court by smell and they saw her shadow, gripped her and dragged along to the bridge. They needn't remarkably good sight for it. Perhaps they even could use Melwen's sight as they could use their horses sight in LOTR, but, perhaps, it is a bit far-fetching. So the only problem in all the nazgul posts so far is Viniglaen searching the King's house. But perhaps she turned visible once inside, searched the house and then turned invisible again? Perhaps,Lotesse should find that old post and add a sentence there. |

No editing request except the one that Gordis said. I have left Tyaron's response for you to post, or maybe Algaron will respond to his sister's firing.

Given these explanations, I think what I wrote can stand, unless you guys really feel strongly about it and can give me better reasons, ok? I'll put in Arastud's conversation as soon as I can, but possibly not until Monday. Someone can write it for me if they want to, but basically I'm having him a pretty good guy, and faithful to Annawen. And he did NOT do what Zimra accused him of, even though he had quite the opportunity, so I think he would definitely defend himself.

well, im off ..see you guys on monday!
interesting point earniel ..guess it should be bore in mind in future ... so... does rian get to resign or will she be fired? good to see khamul lying low and not arousing any suspicion ... esp in front of the lady of nin in eliph, professor mahtaliel and two gondolin elves ... yes, the captain's "stern words' really went in! Gor i am beginning to feel that the captain is weak! IF he did not EVEN know of the maid incident before he left orrodel he would be bloddy furious he was not told .... did he not even say (along lines of) bring everything to him? then they kill her without his knowledge even? what is our morgul lord - a puppet leader, a figure head on a string? The manner and execution were well done .. but the captain not even knowing? btw, why is there a leader at orrodel? what purpose does this serve but to weaken his own authority (ML's) and annoy the other nazgul, causing tensions ... ?? it is a house in tharbad with 4 nazgul in it not baradur, or Dol guldur: no great stronghold or city or kingdom ... a mere house ... is this wise of the captain - espcially when khamul seems intent on nothing but attacking, angering and blowing his top with everyone from all his fellow nazgul, to elves, fellow professors and innocent maids ... the captain wants calm and secrecy so hands control away to the most hot tempered evil and irrational nazgul imaginable? and does nothing when time after time he blatantly disobeys him? he has not been told???? of the maid ... she has been killed against his orders ... (because he knew nothing of it and was not even consulted - this despite saying bring these things to him? - ) then he stands in public insulting high profile elves and Professors: when Rian has come to quit which he should be pleased at since it saves him the bother of firing her .... but no, khamul cannot think straight like a leader and a nazgul of many many years experience ... he wants some childish foolish PUBLIC shouting match, ytempers flaring and making ememies publcally indeed to the point of very close to an actual knife fight or duel? Is it any wonder that others assume Our side (not they) want to end this game suddenly???? sorry, but its getting freakin ridiculous: we need the captain to step in Gor! this is ok with you, is it? the maid murdered, the capatian not knowing what goes on? his orders flouted seconds after he leaves? the naz angered again by khamul, and khamul on the verge of public fighting because the major domo (hardly a servant - and one seen in high company the night before - dancing with the king, known to some degree by ray and marty etc ) why, because someone he wants to get rid off, wants to leave? so,the plan, viv and lilly to buddy up to ray and marty: ok lets fu** up the whole family image and piss of the kings and martys and rays acqauaintances and professors, ie Rian, and earniel and Mahtaliel : that will help the cause! yes, that lovely not wierd at all family from orrodel ... yes the mysterious ones who arrived a few days ago .... plus we have Buz and lilly stand there and say nothing! as he is so rude to these eminent guests ... I fear the Morgul lord has no choice now but to see it as a direct and deliberate challenge to his authority. |

And I also specifically asked him to have Buz and Lilly there (which I thought would be natural, anyway) because I reeeeeeely wanted to get in the insult about "woman-striker". Tyaron and Alagos are not "high profile elves" that anyone knows of; they are of noble houses in Gondolin, but that was a long time ago and doesn't really matter here to most people ... Earniel is a different story, though, but he's not insulting her. Guys- this is NOT a shouting match by any means! It is a rather intense, but from all appearences POLITE, conversation right outside of Orrodel. They are speaking low, and the onlookers can't hear. I thought it would be a fun scene - Khamul having to control his temper and limit himself to nasty words and even to trying to provoke his opponents to do something (which he almost did, altho all Alagos was going to do was to "call him out" to a fight - he would never kill a man unchallenged). This is NOT a brawl; it's one of those quiet but intensely angry things that are sugar-coated with polite tones. Perhaps TD and I can do a few more edits, emphasizing the low but polite tones, and that would help. I do not see this scene at ALL problematic. I think you guys misinterpreted it a bit, but with us adding some details, I think it will be fine. EDIT - I've beefed up the polite and quiet tone thing in my posts - see if that's better, guys. TD post 464 - could you please change "replied Rian sarcastically" to "replied Rian stiffly", or frostily, or with forced politeness, or something like that.
