The Fourth Age: Ithilien's Bane - Page 2

Finrod Felagund · 05-17-2002, 08:26 AM

Fimbren saw many people running and screaming. When they saw him many stopped and stared. Fimbren didn't stop, he rode up to the gate of the Tower and with a word it opened and he rode in. The people of the town were shocked, no one had ever gone into the tower. They had to find Prince Faramir and master Legolas and tell them.

Fimbren however was taken with a great shuddering as soon as he entered the tower's courtyard. He remembered that feeling at the battle when Angmar was defeated in the north. As soon as he dismounted, Nahar ran quickly back out into the city, terror ahold. Fimbren shook his head, Nahar was only a horse. Gripped by fear, Fimbren put his hand on the door and pushed it open...

Finrod Felagund · 05-17-2002, 02:01 PM

OOC: I'll be away until next Thursday so don't involve me too much. You can discover that I've gone into the tower but DON'T go in after me, this part is a personal quest partly. When I come back i'll reappear from the tower and explain. Remember the terror is too much for most, almost even for me, an Elf of Valinor who had seen the two trees.

Christiana · 05-19-2002, 09:06 PM

Christiana held council w/ the King.
"Aragorn, what should we do?"
"Im not sure. How many mouted warriors do we have in the City?"
"500, including Elves."
"Take 300 & lead them to the help of Faramir.I will wait here 4 Eomer. Good luck Christa."
"U 2 Aragorn."
With that, Christa went to gather 300 mounted warriors.

ooc

kay, I'm going to wait for Imarwen to post, and then we'll ride forth.

Nariel Starfire · 05-20-2002, 12:32 PM

okay, nevermind waiting for Imarwen:

Eruwyn arose before the sunrise to oversee the gathering of the Riders. As she sat on her mount, a horseman approached her, smiling.

"Good day, my lady." he said.

"Good day. Are you not also a rider? For I believe i hav eseen you before."

The man smiled. "Aye. I am Revamir, son of Eomer."

Eruwyn choked. "You are Revamir? Has it been so long since I have seenyou that I do not recognize you?"

"Aye, cousin. I only recognized you because my father told me that you were here. 'Tis good to see you again."

"Aye." said Eruwyn. She was surprised that Revamir had grown up. Last time she had seen him, he had pulled her hair and chased her around the Golden Hall. "'Tis good. Why do you not travel to Ithilien more often?"

***Earniel*** · 05-20-2002, 12:53 PM

Imarwen was helping loading luggage on the horses. She still blushed from the scolding she had received from her mother the night before. Her mother had told Imarwen she wouldn't be allowed to leave Meduseld for two weeks. Imarwen had replied hotly that she wasn't a child anymore. That hadn't approved her mother's temper at all. Imarwen briefly wondered who was more embarrassed about her forgetting her duties: her mother or herself. So she had mentally prepared herself for two weeks of confinement in Meduseld.

But then this morning a squire had informed her she was to join the servants at the stables. There she was told she would ride with the supply wagons. Well as far as punishment for forgetting her duties went, Imarwen didn't mind. It sure was better than sitting in Meduseld for two weeks, thought Imarwen. She smiled to herself. And Merrah would get all the exercise she could handle.....

Christiana · 05-20-2002, 10:58 PM

Christa mustered the swiftest & best riders in Gondor. Among them were...(come on guys...)

Eruviel Greenleaf · 05-21-2002, 12:35 AM

Nimmorn paced back and forth among the trees, singing softly to himself. He climbed a tree to the top, and looked off toward the East, where still he could see smoke rising from the tower.
That was it, he decided. He would do something. He would respect Fimbren's wishes and not follow to Minas Ithil, but he would not stay in Ithilien waiting.
He prepared to ride to the West, to Minas Tirith, where he would see what was being done there. Perhaps he could help somehow. . .
Just as he was about to ride away, he saw Legolas running toward him.
"Stay here, Nimmorn," He said.

Christiana · 05-27-2002, 01:47 PM

er, is it just me or is our rpg dying down a bit?

Eruviel Greenleaf · 05-27-2002, 02:23 PM

ooc: that is something best said in The Fourth Age thread, which is for discussing this RPG. . .anyway, why don't you post if you think it's dying?

Christiana · 05-27-2002, 06:34 PM

Saddleing Lightfall,Christiana bade her company to ride hard behind her. They thundered out of the gates, most of them galloping, but Lightfall, Shadowwfax's daughter cantering "slowly" ahead, w/ Christiana on her back.

Nariel Starfire · 05-31-2002, 12:07 PM

The Riders rode on, and in record time they had arrived at Minas Tirith. One night they stayed in the city and the next morning at dawn they rode forth, an odd company of Men and elves. At the head were Eruwyn and Revamir and the lead elf [whoever wants can play this part.]

Christiana · 06-02-2002, 10:43 PM

When Eruwyn caught up w/ Christiana, they joined forses, making 7,000 men, woman, and Elves.

***Earniel*** · 06-11-2002, 04:10 PM

OOC: Bump

The army, now with significant numbers still pressed on. The pace was set high, it was important to reach their destiny soon. Yet not many knew what to expect when they got there. At night around the numerous campfires speculation soared high. But it remained only speculation and guesses. No one really knew what to expect and that caused for some unrest. Some even wondered whether their leaders knew what lay ahead. Yet confidence in the leaders and the strenght of the army remained high throughout the journey. Whatever it was, they felt they could handle it.

Finrod Felagund · 06-12-2002, 12:24 PM

Fimbren crept through the halls of what had once been called the tower of the rising moon. It's terror was immense but he knew he had to get to the top of the tower to accomplish what he had come to do.

Nariel Starfire · 06-12-2002, 04:48 PM

OOC: It doesn't seem like Revamir's still around, So I'll take over his character.

BIC:

Eruwyn, Christiana, Revamir, and Legolas sat together around a fire. None said anything, except the Elf, who sang to himself quietly. They all knew that danger lay ahead, though in what form was a mystery. And therefore they enjoyed one another's company as the restless forces slept.

The next morning, the rode forth at dawn. Eruwyn, Revamir, and Christiana were at the head of the army, whereas Legolas rode in the rear. Before noon they had reached Minas Ithil. Eruwyn and her fellow leaders presented themselves to Faramir, who smiled and gave them his blessing. The Fires had taken away much of what the elves had resotred, and the people were now in hiding, sheltering themselves in vast caves dug under the city. Gathering up her army, Eruwyn at once rode forth to fight the evils attacking their land. But what she, and indeed anyone else did not know, was that it was not orcs they were fighting. It was Men.

And this, indeed, would be a War pitting Man against fellow Man.

Eruviel Greenleaf · 06-12-2002, 11:51 PM

ooc: wait, what am I supposed to be doing, eh? How did Legolas end up with Eruwyn and co.? I'm a bit confused, now. . .

***Earniel*** · 06-13-2002, 04:15 AM

OOC: I think he was picked up in Minas Tirith.
