Re: Response:
It was implied. We all know Grima's character. He's grasping, power greedy, and downright mean. It's logical that he gave them the boot after they refused to answer his questions directly.

Okey-day, could I get a quick run down on what's going on, and where I am (if you know) before I just jump in?

Re: Response:
Good to have you back.
The adventure began with Mal and the others sailing down the Entwash in pursuit of Dania and Narsh's captors. They met a woman named Ayna at the riverbank, and got the thought into their heads that she might be a spy. They sent Harnauro with her and proceeded in their journey. Ayna was attacked several times by orcs, and Harnauro fended them off. Eventually she reached her destination, a hill where many people lived. They had all been massacred by unknown assailants for unknown reasons. She found a elf at the site named Elrov, and they, and the wolf, camped their before proceeding to Ethrilien, the valley where Elrov lived. Now some side information: Into the valley of Ethrilien, at an earlier point a man named Evron came, on a mission for Lord Thaldsan of Rohan. He left again after a short stay in the valley. An evil person named Vardor has been staying in Edoras, and he controls Thaldsan. The creatures that captured Dania and Narsh were working for him. A dwarf named Gungar (Morkhon's new character) joined them on their adventure. Now back to the main story: After a while the main group's journey took them to where Evron was; he commanded the scouts on the edge of Edoras' boundary. He helped them fight some wargs that attacked them, and then escorted them to Edoras, where they were greeted by Lord Thaldsan. After trying unsuccessfully to get to the king (their progress was halted by Grima) they decided to use more direct methods. Meanwhile, Dania found that it was only her that they were after. Vardor came and questioned her himself, but was unable to get any useful information from her. She still doesn't know exactly why they were after her at all. The band of brave rescuers broke into the prison and escaped with Dania and Narsh in tow. They didn't have to kill any Rohirrim either, just knocked them out. They scattered into the city, intending to regroup at a specific meeting place given by Mal, and that's as far as their adventure has gone so far. Vardor left Rohan the night of the rescuing, bound for the eagle's location, surprisingly enough. Once he reached it, he killed his contact there, intending to work through someone else. Back to Ayna, Harnauro and Elrov: Right, while they were camped they were attacked by a horrible creature. Harnauro leapt to their defense and was batted away, horribly wounded. The creature's lack of maneuverability was the only reason that they all escaped. Elrov helped the wounded Harnauro away and Ayna fled on her horse, intending to regroup with them at Ethrilien. Instead, she ended up being captured by an orc named Ulrog, (Roland's character) under Vardor's orders. Elrov and Harnauro found out, and even now are leaping to her rescue. This is a rather abridged overview. If anyone would like to give any details I forgot, please do. Hope to have you writing here soon! |

Re: Response:
Xivigg, I'm a little confused by your last post. They already left the prisons, and they aren't moving as a group anymore. I made them decide they'd be too easy to track together, and split up with a meeting place in mind.

"Well, I can't keep it dark any longer. I have got something to tell you all. But I don't know quite how to begin," to quote a famous hobbit.
Well, the long and short of it is that we leaving for Florida tomorrow to visit relatives. Therefore, for a week this thing will be going much more slowly, I fear. It is possible that I be able to write a few posts from Florida, but doubtful that it'll be much more. Sorry to slow this thing down so much. And don't try to use my characters too much, as my plot is pretty intricite, and could be messed up by a character doing something totally off from what I was intending. You can do whatever you like with Slythre or Elrov, though. But I've still got today, so let's see what we can get done in that amount of time. |

Well, we've arrived safely, and I celebrated the occasion by getting lost almost immediately. But that's all over now, and surprisingly I also got Internet Access tonight. So on with the conversation!

I'm back, and ready to continue to play at the earlier speed. I'm rather tired tonight, though, so I'll probably be doing longer and better posts tomorrow.

Re: The Great Quest - Discussion
Thank-you, and I agree it was slow. I only had minimal internet access at that time, as it had to be paid for by the minute. But yes indeed, let's proceed with the adventure!

Re: The Great Quest - Discussion
Elbreth, I'm afraid that like Xivigg you're a little behind the times. I haven't been updating the history of what's happened in this so far, but I shall do so now. Dania was rescued from Edoras by our valiant heroes who have connected with Ayna, Elrov and Harnauro. They are being pursued by a Nrake, which is a natural born hunter and its wounds heal pretty quickly by themselves, and obsidian armored creatures who Mathron is owning. Their leader is called 'broodlord.' Ayna has continued showing her interest in Dania, although they haven't spoken together. If you wish to start such a conversation, please do. It could be interesting.
And Mathron, Vardor likes to know about the people under his command, for whatever amount of time. And he doesn't only do so from information sources, or backtracking. He is capable of judging expressions, reactions, and other subtle clues from long practice in his search. Although probably in the beginning Vardor didn't know that they were anything but mercenaries, using skillful deduction, reasoning, and other information he picked up, he could figure it out. Even if it's a bit of an alien creature. |

Re: The Great Quest - Discussion
Ok, sounds fine. Although it is hard to read someones expression when their face turns to a pile of mush if they get startled. ~grin~
I was just letting you know that if Vardor knew they served another (which is certainly possible, as he would only have needed to listen in on one of their meetings), he wouldn't be open about knowing it, presumably. And he likely would not be able to find out any more than that they had a master, without a LOT of time devoted to just such a search. Morkhon- sorry to see ya go, hope you can find a way back here at some point. And Elsbreth! Welcome back! Once you figure out what is going on. :P Now Mal's the one thats been kidnapped! -Mathron |

Re: The Great Quest - Discussion
Once a day should be enough. We don't mind too much if you post only a little, though.

Re: The Great Quest - Discussion
True. And remember, your character does not have to always be with us, he could be doing his own thing at his own pace.

Re: The Great Quest - Discussion
How come we often have this problem? Not the first RPG that people have thought we've been going too fast on.
I guess we just enjoy it too much. |
