RPG RPG: The Search for Treebeard

[Grey_Wolf]

*Sir Greye Wolfe suggested that a group of the soldiers accompanying the Questers would take point to make sure the trail and the surroundings were safe*

[Earniel]

Eärniel: Well, you're free to engage in the mindless traipsing around if thinking is too much for you. Wait-what did you say? Santa? We're in April! What's Santa doing here now? Unless... *pondering* Guys, are we sure the Easter Bunny has an alibi for the kidnapping?

[Midge]

"Ohhh, now we're thinking!" shouts Midge. The other around her hushed her with annoyed looks, but she smiled.

"Shhhh... we're hunting wabbits!"

[Acalewia]

Acally and her loyal raccoon join in the hunt for them wascally wabbits!

"What are the current demands from the Knights That Say Ni?"

[Acalewia]

And how will we know when we have 42 new posts?

[Acalewia]

How many Mooters and critters are involved with this search?

[Acalewia]

Don't look at me like that, Anticetos. I am not spamming!

[Grey_Wolf]

"Eärniel, my lady, mindless traipzing about is not what the suggestion was in regards to. But if we all want to run into an orc hord by rushing ahead heedlessly be my guest."

[Earniel]

Eärniel: Eh, no, sir Grey Wolf. Rushing into orc hords is usually not my idea for a quest. My words were a reply to Midge.

*Eärniel looks at Midge and Acalewia who apparently have gone into full rabbit hunting mode.*

Eärniel: So I take it the Easter Bunny does not have an alibi? Has anyone seen it at all since Easter Monday? Which would be the exact moment Treebeard went missing.

[Grey_Wolf]

"I see, my lady, then all is good. We will safely get on with the quest if the bunny-hunters can let up in their game and join the serious "Missionaries"."

[Acalewia]

-sticks her tongue out at Doc-

[Earniel]

Eärniel: Serious missionaries? I didn't sign up for that either, really. I thought this was a rescue operation.

[Grey_Wolf]

Yes it is - sorry about the wrong use of the term. Questers or Rescuers is more accurate.

[Valandil]

Graymouser came speading up with Radagast, aboard the famous rabbit-propelled gadget.

"Hey guys!" he shouted, "I think I'm on to something! I found a tree that will talk!"

Ah - now we're getting somewhere, thought Valandil. Maybe we can get some answers. Maybe one day we'll eventually find old Treebeard again, and restore him to his rightful place in Fangorn Forest.

Suddenly, from behind the sled, out walked a large... thing. It looked sort of like an Ent - only beardless, hairless,... really, REALLY trimmed back!

And there was another one of those mysterious, yellow, sticki-ish pieces of paper on its chest.

"Treebeard!!!???" we all shouted in unison.

[Grey_Wolf]

*Meanwhile, having been sent out on a stealth mission, Sir GW's men comes back, having found a lead to the whereabouts of Treebeard. Tracks and candy-wrappers leading off to the mountains where secrets and nefarious beings can be found at the deep delved roots.*

[The last sane person]

(considering as we have our shaved tree shepherd back, is this RPG even worth pursuing?)

[hectorberlioz]

His beard is still missing???

[Valandil]

Shall we continue as: The Search for Treebeard's Beard?

[hectorberlioz]

Yes! And of course, Treebeard's beard has acquired magical properties along the way. Namely, it grows you a darn good beard, somewhat leafy, but handsome overall. It also makes you taller.

[Grey_Wolf]

*One of Sir GW's men is a sorceror and picking up a discarded bit of Treebeard's beard falls into a trance.*

"The facial adornment of this person has been brought to the peaks surrounded by fog. Malicious entities keeps the item and has fervent hopes of it enpowering them into omnipotens."
