A Fellowship like no other? - Page 16

Silverstripe · 01-17-2003, 11:18 AM

Wel, I will try to have Aralle start a rescue effort (if it's still needed) as soon as I can finish her battle with the gargoyle.

elvishfaerie3088 · 01-18-2003, 09:04 PM

Yes, yes i knew i wasn't in the group but i was unsure of what to do! One more question though shall I go into my woods now and watch the fight or shall i remain and then wander into my woods after the fight has finished? The only tricky part should be convincing Aralle that i'm on her side and want to help her for i don't think she noticed me the first time i should say.

Mathron · 01-19-2003, 03:29 AM

If you are planning on assisting in the rescue, sneaking into the woods now and meeting up with Aralle is probably the best idea, once she finished her bout with the gargoyle.

elvishfaerie3088 · 01-20-2003, 01:00 AM

? Did you want me to post now so the fight between whoever can start or am i suppose to wait? 'Cause it seems like your waiting for me to post since no one has posted. I'm sorry if i didn't know i was suppose to post and i'm holding everyone up.

***Earniel*** · 01-20-2003, 04:34 AM

I think we're waiting for the fight between the gryphon and the gargoyle to finish. As long as that goes on the rest of the group has to wait for the rescue.

Maybe you could go and find the gryphon and the gargoyle and end the fight because it is still your forest and you don't want to see it damaged during a fight. Just a suggestion, though.

Sicirus · 01-20-2003, 03:44 PM

How about the guards get distracted by the fighting creatuuures and one of the hobbits and or elves(since they are thee most silence) escape and get help or something?

Arat-Falathion · 01-20-2003, 03:51 PM

Help from whom anyway? Only living things we've met in this wood is a crazed elf and some strange never-before-seen-creatures that runs in and out... so where go for help? Nered?

guess it is best to stay with the plan that was firstly made.. for the griffin and elf to rescue yeh in some way or the other...

Silverstripe · 01-20-2003, 05:49 PM

What's funny is how everyone is calling this a "fight" when no fight has yet begun! Hmmm... well, since Zavron isn't posting, I'll try to come up with a way to temporarily end the conflict.

elvishfaerie3088 · 01-20-2003, 09:47 PM

Heh Heh Heh uh hope nobody else wanted that opening,

Arat-Falathion · 01-23-2003, 09:39 AM

Is it just me? Or is this "people using 1st person form" ( "I" instead of "name") pretty confusing..? I must say I tend to forget these characters name... specially among the hobbits

sorry bout this, but I must admit I find the 3rd person form much more direct and easy... ahh well

got that out of my system!

anyway... had to save that thing in the rpg, or felt like it... remember it is the griffin and fem.elf that is comming for the rescue, the hobbits won't

that was the plan anyway... though changing Athalts mind might be a little bit harder then what it seemed at first... I think the Griffin has to leave Athalt no choise but to turn his path and head for the Barrows... Which leads to another dilemma, how?

Silverstripe · 01-23-2003, 12:05 PM

I agree with you, first person can be confusing. Who "I" is (er...am?) keeps changing. With third person, POV still changes somewhat, but at least it's always the same narrator.

***Earniel*** · 01-23-2003, 02:00 PM

I agree, with more players it's difficult (for me) to remember who's talking at the time. I find third person easier to follow.

I'm not so sure we'll find a logical way to make Athalt and his 30 soldiers go voluntarily to the barrows. After the last fight we've had it would require hefty arguments to change his mind, which I don't think we have.

It would also be very difficult to force Athalt to go. There's a slight imbalance in numbers here, no matter how bad fighters these soldiers have proven to be.

They're still with a lot more and I definately vote against killing them all off, no matter how convenient.

I think there's more (logic and) possibility in letting the group escape Athalt and his soldiers with the help of Aralle and Glistenfae and maybe some magic on Elise's part. And maybe they manage to put Athalt on the wrong track afterwards so that he can follow them to the barrowdowns but with a few days delay so the little fellowship can do what's needed at the barrow downs before he catches up. Or you can always try to steal their horses.

That ought to slow them down considerably too.

Just my two eurocents.

EDIT: Ah, I've just seen that the rescue plan is getting started.

Mathron · 01-23-2003, 07:41 PM

As might be guessed from my latest post, Aasinav is willing to use his own magic to help the group escape. He will only do so if there seems to be no other way out, and he will keep it as simple and small as possible - creating a cloud of fog, spooking off the horses, etc. Causing some minor confusion that the group can make use of to break free, without any casualties on any side. So anyone running the rescue - feel free to add that in.

Mathron · 01-26-2003, 11:27 AM

Zavron - just a warning that it is not in especially good taste to cripple other player's characters without permission. Attacking them, at least in this situation is understandable - but you may wish to edit that out. Now, if Silverstripe is fine with it, that is one thing - but you may be asked to change it.

Silverstripe · 01-26-2003, 04:05 PM

The problem with Aralle having a broken leg is, she wouldn't be able to accompany the group to the Barrow Downs like that! Griffins do not just heal within a day. If someone is willing to do a, er, magical healing, I guess, then it's fine. If not, I would prefer for Zavron to edit that part out. I'm not angry, but it simply isn't logical for Aralle to be going on a quest when she has a broken leg, and I don't want to miss out.

Sicirus · 01-30-2003, 12:05 AM

Not to complain and all but when are we going to get back to the other characters?
We need to continue the story or it will dimolish(sp) And I like this rpg

.

Mathron · 01-30-2003, 03:55 PM

Well, the gargoyle's reappearance and battling seems to have obstructed the rescue attempt a little, but it doesn't mean it has completely halted. If nothing happens within the next few days, I'll begin it myself.

Sicirus · 01-31-2003, 12:08 AM

Good cause I like this rpg. This is the first time i have been a hobbit in an rpg and like this change in character.

elvishfaerie3088 · 01-31-2003, 01:06 AM

ok, let me see if i've got this straight. The gargole is on a mountain in human form, Aralle is in the forest with one of the hobbits. Glimdrell is giving back weapons. Everyone is staring at the soilders or the sky. The soilders are staring at me (Glistenfae) on the ground cause i (Glistenfae) made a disturbance? Sounds to me like were at a stand still.

***Earniel*** · 01-31-2003, 06:07 AM

Well, I must confess that I'm rather unsure what is happening. That's why I decided to wait for other people to post until I can follow again.
