EDIT - OK, Arastud and Annawen and Melwen all brought up-to-date. I always loved the Faramir/Eowyn scene, and had intended for Arastud and Annawen to have a scene like that, so - here it is!

Lotesse, Excellent post.
Quote:
Rhadagast says to Gandalf: "The nazgul, all Nine, disguised as Black Riders, as of old " Pray tell me how can one be disguised as a "Rider" without a horse? Are you trying to tell me that the Nazgul had to WALK for 4000 years, before Sauron prepared horses for them? And what did the Witch King ride in the battle of Fornost? Please check that out. There was no Sauron around to train the horse the Witch-King was riding at Fornost. He did it himself. Sure the nazgul trained their horses themselves, throughout their long lives. Possibly only ones used in the "hunt for the Ring" were Mearas. At least, they have shown practically the same speed as Shadowfax. For more details, please, read my thread "Nazgul horses". Quote:
Shadofax, by the way, was not an ordinary Meara. Quote:
Quote:
Yes, you can think of more, Val, and I will be glad to discuss it further , but please read the horses thread first. Perhaps it would be better if you continue the thread, as there is a lot of quotes and arguments already. Though I admit, you are the first to say that the nazgul were unable to ride horses before their "daddy" Sauron thought of training some for them... Last edited by Gordis : 10-30-2005 at 08:02 PM. |

Rian - re. Arastud & Annawen - And their names even match! That's good match-making, for real. I like the "conversation with the willow switch" bit, too.

ps - re the Faramir/Eowyn post with Arastud/Annawen - I mean, how could I pass up a chance to use the word "puissant"? Not that Arastud would probably know what it means, but I used a little suspension of reality there because it was fun.

thanks, Lotesse - glad you liked it! I think your scent of human lust in the hay thing is still ok, because you weren't specific, but change it if you think it needs it. * * NOTICE * * - I am now going to do my Elvish poetry/song battle in the park!! For this post (or posts ) I am quoting verbatum from a beautiful old song/poem. Rian, Tyaron and Alagos are picking and choosing from different parts to "fight" each other. And I would like to ask you guys, for fun, if anyone recognizes the piece! (WITHOUT googling!) If you know it, please just say that you know it, and don't give the name away yet. I"m just curious to see who would know it. I'll give the name out in 24 hours or so.

Here can be the Orrodel House main living room, or at least a part of it...
http://www.24hourmuseum.org.uk/chg/c.../2003_1944.JPG Are you guys catching all the pic links I'm putting here today? Any comments or suggestions about my Orrodel ideas? Rian - re. Song battles - Right On!! Reminds me of the rap battle scene from 8 Mile, the Eminem movie. That's a compliment, BTW in case you didn't know. Big time.

I quite like the idea of Monty Python Nazgul, they could borrow their armor from the Knights of Nee. I love the pictures you're finding Lotesse. I'd live in a place like that if I were a Nazgul.

I will try to prepare the Orrodel floorplan (groundfloor, first floor, second floor, attic) Thanks for the directions, CS, Lotesse and especially Udu!
Lotesse, I loved your pictures, one will be dining room, the other living room. But the estate doesn't fit well, it is a country estate not a city house. It is only my opinion, of course. And yes, it will be well not to overdo the animal thing. That's why neither the Chancellor, nor Aiwendis have any pets . But horses they have for sure, the best ones that could be obtained. Re: attitude. It is not necessary to become enemies even arguing hotly over a point, unless one becomes personally insulting. |

I'm glad U like the pics, Gordis! Let me see if I can find a more fitting city-style home 4 U... O.K. - trying still to find good staircase pix - here's a nice one, and envision the ground floor that the staircase sweeps out, nice & wide, with deep crimson carpeting... http://www.jack-travel.com/IledeFran...Staircase1.jpg

Great post, Udu. Realistic approach (I mean the splinters ). And I liked that Khamul's lies about Aiwendis had played their part. Interesting new sub-plot.
Lotesse Keep getting more pics. I am half-asleep already, but tomorrow I will have a look. Rian nice post about A&A, but Melwen was not SIMPLY drunk, she is now firmly in love with Arastud, as Khamul planted it in her mind deeply, so no throwing up will change that. So her question "What am I doing here?" is a bit strange. As for your poetry post, I have to leave it for tomorrow. Bye, All! |

Gordis - I'll change the post to reflect Khamul's potion more accurately. I think the "what am I doing here" can stay, as she doesn't remember how she got there, but she can go to "but now that I'm here .... "
GUYS - if you know what the poem is, please do NOT post the name! I'd like to see who knows it Just say if you know it or not, please

(thanks, Lotesse, for taking out the poem name )
Lotesse knew the poem, but she edited it out for me. You were spot on, Lotesse - how long did it take you to figure it out? Whew, 3 long posts - I'm done posting now, I'll take a tour through the Orrodel piccy links

*drools over gorgeous pictures*
Whew! I wants it!! I wants it, preciousss! *comes back to reality* Well, I must say, you're gonna need some good staff for all that dusting! Hopefully Zimra (sp?) has lots of cousins ... My next post will be Rian returning to Orrodel and taking her leave - who should she talk to? Who wants to do this with her?

However, in the future, it would be impossible to say who might join. It goes without saying that if anyone becomes personally threatening, uses foul language, etc, etc, this person will be dealt with by the moderators. That said, I would suggest that if any "Bang, bang, you're dead" quick-on-the-trigger RPGers join and try to do mayhem against an RPGer's wishes that the moderator is the final arbitrator. That should avoid sticky, unpleasant situations right from the beginning. Perhaps this could be worded something like, "No player is to kill, maim, injure another player's character unless the aforesaid can give substantial proof that an agreement has been worked out with the other person that such damage is acceptable. The proof would consist of private messages between the two parties. The moderator xxx and/or xxx is/are the final judge(s) as to the validity of such actions." This should be an unbreakable RULE, and recorded in the information thread. |

Gordis, regarding the queries you had about Tolvadok... you are pretty good. Don't change your post. I have hardly posted much, so its hard to understand his charcter right away. Every person will percieve Tolvadok in a different way, and I think Aiwendis, who is so delicate, would not like him much. He is not like Khamul, because Khamul strikes me as a much more brutal person. Tolvadok is too impersonal to be brutal, but he is certainly evil
Earlier, you asked if he's a Numenorean, but he's not. The kingdom he came from was in the North east, somewhere near Eregion, and I think I mentioned they were allies with the Elves who helped create the Rings of Power. Rian very pretty love-scenes. How funny the Arastud and Annawen scene was! And I like the singing, but I don't know the poem. BTW, I won't be here from the day after tomorrow for about 4days. Reason: Its Eid!!! Anyway, I would really appreciate it if someone would temporarily post for Tolvadok, and Jas Fernik. I hate missing out just when the exciting fight-scenes are coming up. But there's nothing I can do about it, so are there any takers?

The part bolded is what makes me think there's something new here. Was it the 'black' part? Quote:

(EDIT: and most of them were probably running free until tamed by the Eotheod... so I'm not sure 'costly' applies) Lotesse: as for the "1313 Mockingbird Lane" - there are two main reasons I thought so... 1. The state of the house when Rian first arrived. 2. What you Nine eventually do to my ancestral home of Minas Ithil! Those just seemed to me to contrast sharply with the beautiful rooms you posted, with all the sunlight coming in, etc.

I'm really sorry if I've caused any kind of delay guys. I'm back on normal Moot time for another two weeks now, before I'm away again.
Thanks for all who posted for Khamûl, all posts were fine and no editing required. As for Orrodel lay out, I had some ideas which I'll try and put up later. It's more of a layout than detailed room descriptions.
