Perhaps a donkey then? They can be fun too. And surely you've role played without llama, Pippin, I'm sure you did.

Besides, Tessar started the game and he'll have some road planned out for us. So it's best if we listen to him.

But she is right about Frogmorton, Tessar. I checked to be sure. It's a real place, and that's not just because it has the word 'frog' innit.

[PippinTook]

You're right, and yes I have RPed without Cory, just not recently. Okay, it can be a donkey named George then. And the frying pan is just a frying pan which she likes to use as a weapon. Its deadly. And thanks for the backup on the Frogmorton thing I've got my atlas handy. I'll go ahead and jump in then! Sorry I was being so sore about the llama!

[Gulio, Strength of Many]

Hallu 'dere everyone! I ish here to join this fine RP, if that is still okay. If not, then I'll hang my head in shame and run away.

Name: Rorin

Physical Description: When drawn to his fullest height, Rorin stands a few inches above five feet. This is normal, considering Rorin is a Dwarf. His hair is worn long, and is the same color as his great red beard. He wears plain travelling clothes and a thick green cape (because cloaks are overrated ).

In his leather belt rests his battle-axe, which he had been taught to use as soon as he was strong enough to pick it up. He is proficient with his axe, but not with many other weapons, for he has never used anything else. He aslo carries a few small throwing axes, which he is okay with.

Personality: Rorin has a fiery temper, and possesses the typical stubbornness (is that a word?) of Dwarves. He is honest to the point of stupidity, and doesn't see the point in hiding or sugarcoating his opinion. His rash tounge has gotten him into serious trouble before, and he carries a few scars as from numerous such incidents.

History: Rorin grew up in Ered Luin, and marched with Dain to the Battle of Five Armies. After the battle was won, Rorin remained in Erebor for some time. His restless heart has stirred again, however, and he wanders quite a bit now.

There, I hope that works. ^^

[Tessar]

Gulio: Looks just fine to me!

Aewionen: Sure, go ahead and make another character if you like.

Pip: Thanks for being so understanding . I don't feel that Llamas really fit into Tolkien's world .

Earniel: ... Just... keep doing that thing you do. *hug* *worships the RPGing goddess*

No problem.

I don't know just what Tessar has planned for this game but there's bound to be some fighting. So you may want to give Pansy another weapon besides the frying pan. While a frying pan is very swingable (I've tried, dad still ducks when he sees a frying pan in my hand ), she may need a more conventional weapon. Perhaps a bow or a slingshot? Hobbits are said to be very good at chucking stones at unsuspecting targets. *grins*

It's just a suggestion, it's up to you (and Tessar's veto).

Aww, stop it, you're making me blush. Beryn is fun to play. I hope I can keep it up. But I'll need some direction soon, IOW Harn or Kalin will have to speak up sooner or later. So post! EDIT: Oh, you're going to. Good.

[Haradrim]

can we rp after a place holder?

I wouldn't recommend it. Chances are that the post, that comes in place of the place marker, takes a totally different turn than the one you wrote after it. Then all the time you spend on writing the second post is wasted. Tessar said he would post today, let's just await his post, it can't be too long.

[Tessar]

No no, please don't post after a place marker. I'm afraid I'll only have the chance to post about twice a week (maybe more though), since I have quite a bit of homework to do every day, and my Math and Latin usually take me quite a while to finish up.

Enjoy everyone! I thought I'd start us off with a good rip-roaring battle .

[Earniel]

Good writing, Tessar, although I had hoped to do Beryn's first skinchanging myself and not immediatly at the start of the first fight. I had planned to keep her bear-form for a later stage in the fight, when she needs something more to fight with than her normal strength and staff. Saving the best for last, so to speak.

[Tessar]

I'll edit that then .

[PippinTook]

That was some majot god modding, but I have to say some dang good god modding. You're good Tessar. *appreciates the Pansyness*

[Eärloth]

now something interesting has happened...I tried to reply, but I got called away; consequently Haradrim posted before I got the chance to (unnoticed by me; the reply to topic page had already come up) and now one or several aspects of my post are nullified...


Haradrim, Tessar, ne1 -- do you guys want/need me to change the post ?

[Tessar]

Thank you .

How do you mean God moding tho'? My general understanding is making a character too powerful- and I tried to show that all the characters are skilled to leave you guys room to write them as such, or tone it down a few notches.

If you meant how I controlled the characters... errrr... well... no comment . I'm hoping I won't have to do that again, but I needed to to get the plot moving.

[Haradrim]

Hey Earloth, "OW!" that would really hurt! I removed them myself in the thread before yours. Good idea though. Painful but good.

[Tessar]

I myself don't need you to change your post, but Haradrim might want you to change it.

It's up to him.

Oh Hara, on those paragraphs be sure to put a full blank space between them- it makes for easier reading .

[Haradrim]

Thanks and I would like them changed so my character doesnt stay on the flor with pain.

[Eärloth]

right! ok then

[Haradrim]

youre still wrenching arrows form my chest. Ow (shudders) I took both out threw them on the grounda n headed into battle. So no arrow pulling out of poor Drut ispossible at this point. Tho maybe later. I have a tendacy to get wounded.

Thanks, Tess. You're a pal. *smooch*

Miss PippinTook, I take back what I said about your frying pan. It's a weapon of unexpected strenght and delight.

Oi, Haradrim, do you know how much an arrow wound hurts? You better be wearing some mail or leather protection or you just dissabled yourself for the rest of the game. j/k
