Any intrest in an adventure RPG? (LLL discussion part I)

[feawen]

Nami did help with the dish!

i wrote that didn't i?!

[Amael]

I'd like to think we're going in next so I can at least get my part out of the way for now. Hehe, I'm not being hastily rude, I just haven't felt too great and I'm sorry I've been away. I'm really feeling sick and everytthing right now. Please don't count A'mael out yet. I don't know how we're doing this. Are we sending in like a few pairs into the Dol per day or what? I've been absent here for a good couple of weeks for the most partt and all I know is what "Ingwe" tells me goes on in his posts or if I give him stuff to use for his posts. Feawen (Nami) is going in next so I'd suspecct next will be us unless there's a problem with that. So okay, maybe in a couple of days from this message I'll be able to get more active. I feel bettter than I did a few days ago as I've been taking some new vitamins that help take the edge away from the infamous 'morning sickness'. I hope I feel a lot better tomorrow than I do today. I have a lot of stuff to do that I couldn't do today because of all this.

[feawen]

you can go down there first Amael. i just want Nami to go about before we leave. but your free to go down when you want.

[Coffeehouse]

Quickleaf is actually planning to go down again, but maybe Radaghast won't let him as a punishment I don't know He's keen on exploring more of the library though. A curious elf.

[Mari]

Fay, I don't mind going with you. I'm sure we could work something out.
Q could come as well. I think Q fits Quickleaf quite well actually...

[Coffeehouse]

Q... I've no choice right?

This is not the last opportunity, don't worry. So Nami does not have to go undergound the next day if she doesn't wish so.

(What, you people thought you'd find the documents about the Ent-wives in just two days? My poor deluded adventurers. )

Radagast had said no one is to enter alone, so pairs or trios are the trick. (And that way you can talk with another character) I believe A'mael said earlier that she'd go into the tunnels with Ingwionis and Ingwionis said they wouldn't be going downstairs the first day yet. I think Aelfwine too said she'd likely enter the tunnels the next day. You all can still decide to forego, though. And others may of course enter anyway. Do what you'd think is best for your character or what you prefer to do. There's no fixed number of who goes underground what day. Everybody is free to let his character enter. But I've got to let Radagast do a little bit explaining before that. And both groups up and underground will have something to do today.

Oh, and everybody, don't go putting Dol Guldur full with enemies. It's a bit silly when so many times it is said that Dol Guldur has been deserted and then have the place teeming with evil skeletons, castellans and whatnot.

Also, I wonder, am I not giving you enough enemies? Nearly everbody seems to be itching for a fight and nearly everybody whose character has entered the underground has written an attack. I did say this was to be an adventure RPG, and not a war RPG, so I had planned to include other things than just battles. Or is this game too boring without more frequent fighting? Just want to know if I have to adapt my planning.

Depends on how well your character is after the fight. There's no logic in letting a wounded man go into a possible dangerous place when there are fit people about.

[The last sane person]

If Aelfwine goes, or even maybe Abasi or Aika's character, Redplate would go down with them. I think. If anyone can be arsed to post, at least.

Edit: Whoa, what the hell is going on? Re-read the last page of the RPG that I had somehow missed; I think I may have missed something, why are they fighting? I can't seem to be able to put the things I am reading into the right order.

[Willow Oran]

The characters were fighting because they suffer from personality/culture clash and have no dimplomatic skills whatsoever. The fight doesn't make sense because the players didn't consult each other while writing it and have only edited it halfway.

Just assume they got angry, sliced each other up a bit and got broken up by Radagast.

[Mari]

That sums it up pretty well (good? much? >_<)
I am very interested in the ghost thingy though. I hope we'll run into it again and find out what it needs us for. I wanna know why it's sad and then I wanna hug it. (this is Mari speaking, not Ellysa. She's not a big hugger )

[The last sane person]

Ah, so I wasn't just being a dolt and not understanding some subtle hints. It really is kinda on the random fly. Is it over? Or should Carnehillion smash someones head with the pommel of his sword?

[feawen]

Nami and Ellysa going down is a good idea i think. Lots of girly shreaks of terror! Quickleaf could come if he wanted by he may have to watch his back, Nami's not happy and its hard to see who your arrows pointed at in the dark!

we'll have to plain something for the underground Mari, any ideas. Ive got one or two fear related/ conquring fear ideas.

as for the fighting i think the group conflict between the elfs was good until the real fighting started, it kinda showed the difference between the clans kinda thing.
As for battles im happy with the odd fight here and there. To many and its just oh look another orc, lets kill it. But that maybe just because im not very good at writing fight scenes!

anyway get back to me back underground partying!

[Mari]

I don't know what you have planned, fear-wise, but Ellysa isn't scared of the dark or going underground. She's afraid of what she saw in her vision. She doesn't want to go down because she's afraid it'll come true, but she also feels she has to go down to prove it wrong.
She has another reason to go down, but I don't think that'll play a big role.
Why don't you PM me your ideas. We can see what we'll do then *is looking forward to it*

By the way: Ellysa doesn't like fighting.

[Earniel]

You two could take Sane along, if you're going underground on this trip. I think Carnehilion would be very thrilled to escort and protect two pretty girls.

[feawen]

lol good ideas we need a big strong man to protect us! Come on bring Carnehilion out to play!

[Amael]

Since Dol is not literally Noah's arc with just 2 people going down at a time, since I'm already going with Ingwionis, if someone wants to pair up with me and him they can so that we have more than a pair, in case we have to fight lots of enemies. I thoughtt that was a little funny.

Why no hidden trap doors or obstacles like that? I think things like that would make for a good scene. Just don't copy Indiana Jones or National Treasure. The balancing trick on a platform on top of a spike has been done already. The sand sifting throughh the ground has too, and so has the circular staircase that collapses slowly into the walls. I don't think we're likely to see any of that, but something similar maybbe.

No enemy other than spirits would be in there, and I don't think they seem too dangerous anyway.

[Mari]

Hmm, if all my other options are no no's, do you think a huge rolling boulder would do the trick then?

C is welcome to join. Me no mind.

[Curufin]

Abasi won't be going into the cave. He's got some wounds he needs to deal with, and he's not really interested in books anyway.

LOL. Or natives shooting poison darts!

[Mari]

Oh! I hadn't thought of that one yet! I should have, I watched Indiana Jones part 1 recently. >_<
