Eärniel - I wrote some posts with you in them - let me know if you want me to edit anything. I worked in the things you mentioned to me - the kite, the armor - did you see them?

Speaking of men of Gondolin, I've never quite forgiven JRRT for making Tuor's weapon of choice an axe Just seems so ... dwarven to me - makes me think of the dwarves in "The Hobbit".

Great post, Sane! I think Rian might have fallen for Ray if she didn't already like Tyaron and Val - he's such a neat guy! I love his horse, too - "yeah, just gotta do my duty and preserve the line!"
Yeah, we need the Nazzies to finish up their fight. I have my guys at dawn already.

All! The Evil Cartographer has prepared a new MAP- ground level of Orrodel in order to bind you more effectively in the Darkness.
http://photobucket.com/albums/a337/G...t=orrodel6.jpg I understood, TD, you are also working on the Orrodel plan. I would gladly leave the job to you. But I decided to post mine, as it was already prepared. All comments and suggestions welcome. BB Where are you? Will you ever post for Bumble? The poor drunk man was left talking with the Chancellor. Rian and LSP, please, stop this urging "nazzies finish quickly", and so on. I can't post three posts a day. I simply can't. Period. It applies to the other nazgul, I believe. Our characters don't sleep at night, while yours do. Your problem. Try to see nice dreams. Draw a plan of your house. Whatever. First Lotesse with "finish your fight double-quick", than you. Some have more time for RPG-ing, some have less. It is life. Very nice posts, everybody. |

Sorry, Gordis, I meant it as good-natured ribbing. Do the best you can with the time you have - sorry you don't have more time, because I really enjoy your posts! Right now, I have much more free time than I did a few weeks ago, so I'm posting a lot.

Wonderful new posts! TD - great 2 see you back - great posts, TD & CS, Serenoli, Grey Wolf, Gordis, Rian, and especially Shah - Shah, that was a beautiful posts - and no, not just because Ray's thinking so sweetly of Viv! Such a beautiful post.
The Nazgul fight - the reason why I am asking day after day that we can PLEASE bring this Nazgul fight to either a conclusion or a postponement, is because IT IS EXCLUDING ME. The fight has been drawn out for 2 weeks now, and is supposed to take - what, one hour of RPG time? Let me ask a question - if Viv were to enter the room right now, what would happen to her? I'm just curious. What would happen to her? I sincerely would like to know, and I'm asking all my other Nazgul player-family this question - Gordis, Udu, Crazy Squirrel, TD, and Serenoli. What will you do to or with Viv, should she come into the room right now? Kill her? Maim her? Revile her? Ignore her? And how long must this fight continue to drag out? And I don't expect 3 posts a day FAR from it; I can barely keep up with the volume of posts Rian gives us. It is a very colourful and entertaining fight, but when is enough enough?

Serenoli,, I am glad that you liked my post. So let Tolvadok and Aiwendis dislike each other.
Val, You were right, in LoTR proper Radagast says : "They have taken the guise of riders in black." My fault. But I am sure, that the original sentence, published in "Return of the Shadow" contained "as of old". I remember it quite clearly, though I have no access to any of the books now. Anyway, nowhere in LOTR it is explicitly said, or implied that riding horses was new for the nazgul. And my point about the Battle of Fornost still stands. Quote:
What guise had they at this time? Probably not great black cloaks, concealing their shapes. Perhaps they wore armour, not needing any disguise. When were all the nine riding abroad all together as a little special force military unit? Perhaps never, or back in the Second Age... Quote:
As for the last question, a nazgul without his ring was always at least troubling for mortals and animals. However, Gandalf said (I am again quoting from memory), that if Saruman managed to kill the nazgul's Fell Beast, then "let Rohan watch its horses". It means, that a nazgul, even in a weakened, ringless state, was able to approach a free horse and ride it. Of course, there is a difference between a random mount, that they might use for travelling, and a trained war-horse. For instance, the war-horse that the Witch King rode at Osgiliath (see Boromir's account) was able to withstand the full force of his terror spell, when both Gondorean soldiers and their horses ran blindly away, abandoning the Bridges.
