Hytorax Part 2: Discussion(New players permitted now)

[Lief Erikson]

And now Part 2 begins. If people want a review of Part 1, here's the link: http://www.tolkientrail.com/entmoot/...&postid=218406
If anyone wants to join/rejoin the RPG, it'll be possible now, around the beginning, but not for too long. There are some possibilities open.

For example, people can play officials under King Vahatres of Enedwaith. People can play soldiers under him. Dark villains are now much more open for grabs than they were in the beginning. There is a ruling council in charge of the Shadowhand, and Aasinav has gone to join them. Anyone who wants to play a member of that council or a less high in rank member of the Shadowhand can probably do so, but if so, you might have to wait for a little while. There are a few things Mathron and I have to finish up first, in which the purpose of the bad guys' plan will be revealed. After everything is out in the open, it'll be easier for others to play villains.

So those are some possibilities. Reinforcement griffins are possible. Bushbark and Boulderhead (An ent and a stone giant called an Ontor) were left outside of Néred, the capital of Enedwaith. Because they were left outside, it is perfectly feasible that they decided to do something with their time. In which case they might have gotten reinforcements of their kin- other ents or Ontors. As a matter of a fact, other characters that people might want to play could join up with them.

So any new characters can join them.

Sorry, I'm using a bunch of names that are probably near entirely foreign to people who haven't been around in Part 1. I will give a quite brief summary of the plot leading up to this point.

The main characters(Their names are Aasinav, Adrian Baggins, Glimdrell, Glistenfae, Bushbark, Boulderhead, Gil-Thalion, Elise, Hruad, Brilindil, Aralle, and probably some others I've forgotten) gathered together in Néred, the capital of Enedwaith, and learned that a sorcerer was trying to take over the kingdom. He'd already taken over the mind of the kingdom's king, whose name is Vahatres. The sorcerer's name was Dagankor.

The main characters went to find a magical item called the Hytorax in the Barrow Downs, because they knew that firstly, Dagankor wanted it also. Secondly, they knew that it would be possible to use to break the spell that Dagankor had put on Vahatres.

So they went into the Barrow Downs and got the Hytorax out, passing through a lot of danger. Then they brought it to Néred, and were enabled to enter into the citadel because a man named Dolais assisted them. Dolais risked his political career in helping them, and got them inside. But then they found that Aasinav, their trusted sage, had betrayed them. He had already alerted Dagankor that they were coming and the company walked into a trap. Aasinav took the Hytorax and disappeared, leaving the company in the hands of Dagankor and Vahatres' soldiers.

If anyone wants to find and post one of the later character description documents that Zavron was making, that would be appreciated.
