Abasi's still active. He's just sitting in the background away from people sharpening his knives.

Haldis is puttering around the camp. I wasn't certain when this started how often I would have the time or inspiration to post, so I deliberately made Haldis the sort of character who is unlikely to talk much. If I neglect her for a long period of time, just assume she's there and doing the things that the company needs in order to function but that don't get written about because they're routine.

Of the currently active players, yes. Nautipus used to play a dwarf too, but he hasn't posted anymore since we've left Rhosgobel so I didn't count him under the active players.

o.O and I thought Elyssa was an Elf. I've been in a fog for too long, I may have to re-read some parts as well just in case I missed...a ton...of stuff. And two Dwarves, one active? I had thought there were more. [dazed-and-confused-mode]Hmm[/end dazed-and-confused-mode].
A'mael is pretty much an NPC right now and so under such rules anyone can have her do anything, though it's possible in the future my fiance will be playing her. She said she has not registered here yet so that will have to change. I'd be interested in seeing what she would come up with. Only RPG she's been in is one dealing with a modern-day crisis situation "Jerry Bruckheimer" "real-world except on steroids" type of RPG with cities and tanks and planes and crusades and wars and politics and such. She was the one who got me into the whole Tolkien Multiverse in the first place and so she would probably blow me out of the water in any case. I'm hoping she sees this post otherwise my attempt at earning points would have gone unfortunately unnoticed by her. In any case, how far are we from Dol Guldur. I've kinda lost track (though I'm supposed to have a map and know somehow where we are). I'd prefer kilometers distance, but leagues or miles will suffice. I'm kinda thinking we're about 70 kilometers away. I'm sorry to be annoying with these questions, but how long have we been gone, what currently is the time of day, and what is the Weather Channel Forecast for local weather conditions? I love thunderstorms in a story. It almost feels when I read about a thunderstorm as though I am falling asleep to the sound of rain and thunder.

Well... Ellysa certainly won't like a thunderstorm! I don't think she's used to Northern extreme weather
Oh, and Ingwe, Ellysa comes from the direction of Harad, but she didn't really tell anyone where exactly she came from. She's probably human.

Don't forget Hedrim's ultimate strength magic++ hair gell he wears so his hair never moves...ever...at all.
A storm would never phase him!

So two days or less travel to Dol Guldur, we're now if I recall in year four of the fourth age. Just after sun-down and yay! Light rains. Definitely suffices for me. Quote:

I look terrible in the rain, unless I'm wearing a funny hat. Hair gell is a great idea for such a situation, especially in my case (my character's hair's getting a little long). One wrong turn and I'll be splashing everyone with water on my hair as if I'm a wet dog. Everyone in the company will be like "what the heck was that".

I'll be away this weekend, helping my sis move. But when I come back, it's to Dol Guldur with you lot!
(Also, really nice to see some character development in the campfire discussions. We've got a neat group of characters.)

Ok. With any luck we will be adding someone new to the crew soon. Good luck with the moving stuff. That can definitely be a pain.

Hello Amael! Finally I get to meet you
Ingwe told us a lot about you. (But all good, so don't worry ) Hope we get to interact in this particular RPG a bit too, and otherwise outside of it

Sounds good. Welcome to the game, Amy.

Yay! The Queen has arrived.
As I've already said, thanks for finally taking my advice and registering Amy. Your intelligence and wisdom will serve you, and all of us, well during this adventure, and help me keep my sanity in not having to do any NPC characters at all. I think it's definitely a good idea to give a list of weapons and powers. It's something I hadn't thought of doing for the Ingwionis profile some months back. Amy, if you get the power of Wind and Voice, then I should get the power of Fire and Random Jokes.

Some magic is fine, but just don't over-power your characters. That's all I ask.
Although Random Jokes could certainly be allowable, I think.

ROFL. Amy told me that fire wouldn't be a good power for a descendant of the Vanyar and Teleri. So not availing that, the power of far-sight is good enough, either that or lasers . Just as Gandalf couldn't really use his powers that much (meaning that he has a limited salvo of power), any power manifested by the Elves through the One is limited and if I use more than my quota, Eru will dispatch me either directly or indirectly (Saruman, your staff is broken).
Just as Gandalf relied more on his wisdom, common sense, and love for life, I'd rather think that most of those on the adventure are going to avail by relying on much the same thing. Why spawn a tornado to eliminate a tribe of Easterlings when you can simply outwit them and save your power...because there will usually be a time when you're going to need it. The power of Random Jokes, I agree, would probably be the best. An Elf as comic relief - if I haven't seen it before, it's news to me!

You don't need magic to be interesting! It's your character that makes you interesting!
(Hmm, perhaps I should specify: I mean the character of your character.)

Heh... Welcome A'mael! I do hope you brought a lot of antiseptic with you. I have a feeling we are going to need it.

For the record: Ellysa can see things, but what she sees can be changed, with or without her knowing or recognizing it.
Ergo: she had some bad experiences with predictions not coming true. Ergo: she's not infallible. Just wanted to have that cleared up.
