the Thread

Kalile · 06-27-2003, 11:08 PM

This is a thread different from all others. Not because none of us can think of a storyline, nor because it has been decided on by many people. This is a thread that the whole point is not to be silly, but to have a meaningful story. (Silliness is okay too!)

So join!!!!

Kalile · 07-03-2003, 07:19 PM

Hey look! It's only Thursday!

The starting point will be a tavern. You know, the overused cliche place where all the heroes meet. There. It is called the Frothing Otter, in honor of a very good book, and the place is (typically) very smoky and noisy. A dart board hangs in a corner, and people bet on the throwers. This is a place where elves are not welcome, but are fleeing our home and must come through here. That brings all the elves together, and maybe Ms. Baggins could work there.... I dunno, I'm winging it. How's it sound so far?

Aewionen · 07-03-2003, 07:31 PM

ooc: Welcome back Kalile!

sounds good.

ic: Nienna knew she was not welcome in the Frothing Otter as she was elven but she had no choice. She put the hood on her elven cloak so with covered her face. When she stepped in, Nienna immeadiently(sp?) was welcomed with the smell of smoke. She knew this was typical in a tavern but still slightly wrinkeled her nose. She took a seat and watched the people at the darting board compete. Nienna watched as betters lost and won. When they lost they usually cursed and when they won, the cursed for not betting more. She laughed as she watched but kept an eye out for trouble.

Kalile · 07-03-2003, 07:51 PM

Kalile walked in, looking for a familiar face, careful to cover her ears. Spying one of her group memebers, Kalile walked over and put a hand on her shoulder.

Ooc: I'm lazy, and I don't feel like posting my character description.

Most of you probably know me already, so it shouldn't matter too much.

Aewionen · 07-03-2003, 07:59 PM

Nienna turned to find an elf behind her. She stood up and said to her, "How many more are coming?"

Gulio, Strength of Many · 07-03-2003, 08:18 PM

Rorin stepped into the Frothing Otter. As soon as he opened the door he was blasted with smoke and heat and the smell of drunks. This was a rough-looking crowd, and he didn't want any unnessacary attention drawn to himself, so he quickly bought his ale and sat in a corner. He kept one eye on the door, and the other on the bartender. A drunk-looking man staggered up to him, asking for a coin to buy a drink. Rorin didn't want to give away his hard-earned gold to a random drunk. When he refused, the man started yelling and cursing. This would probably be a good time to make a quick exit. he thought. So he stood up, and started to walk out of the bar. Then he spotted the person he had come to meet. He gave a helpless shrug to Nienna and motined for her to wait a few minutes for him.

When he made it out of the bar, he discovered that the drunk had followed him. This came as no surprise. When the man insisted that Rorin give him some money, Rorin again refused. The man threatened to kill Rorin for his gold. "You sure you want to fight?" Rorin asked him calmly.

The man lashed out with his fist as a response. Rorin quickly pulled a small throwing axe out of his belt. "You still sure?" Rorin asked him.

The man made a move for him again, and Rorin threw his axe and drew another. His axe hit the man in the leg, and he dropped to the ground, moaning. Rorin walked back into the bar and headed for Nienna

Aewionen · 07-03-2003, 09:08 PM

Nienna saw Rorin walk again into the tavern. She smiled and gave a small laugh as she watched him put his axe back in place. "Get into a fight Rorin?" she asked him, "Or did that man want your money?"

Gulio, Strength of Many · 07-03-2003, 10:30 PM

"A bit of both I'm afraid." Rorin replied with a grin. "When will the silly men ever learn never to pick on a dwarf?"

He ordered himself and drink. "How about you ladies? This ale is pretty good. I'll buy." he offered to Nienna and Kalile.

Aewionen · 07-03-2003, 11:07 PM

Nienna gave a small laugh, "None for me, but thank you for offering."

ooc: I am not sure what else to post...what is the whole plot?

Kalile · 07-04-2003, 12:13 AM

"Only two others, I'm afraid,"Kalile sighed. As Rorin reentered, she laughed along with the others, but quickly grew sober.
"Actually, I feel in need of a drink now, though I don't normally."

Rorin saw that her face was drawn taught, and asked, concerned, "What happened?"

"First, I ask you why you have come here," she replied.

Ooc: Er... the plot we kinda have to make up as we go along... maybe the elves having to leave their homes coincides with strange things happening with the dwarves, (and maybe the hobbits too) and we decide to find out what it is... hmm.

Dolenloteiel · 07-04-2003, 01:30 PM

Mirewen dismounted outside of The Frothing Otter, and entered the tavern. She looked around for any other sign of elves, careful to keep her hood up around her face. She saw the two elves and the dwarf near a dart board and made her way towards them. Mirewen stood next to the dwarf and turned towards the other two. "Suilad...I hope I'm not too late."

Kalile · 07-04-2003, 02:09 PM

"No, there is one other coming,"Kalile said,"only one."
She turned her gaze back upon the dwarf, waiting for his answer.

The last sane person · 07-04-2003, 02:21 PM

OOC: Whats all this?

I had passed a tavern on my way east and had ignored it, but now i feel myself being drawn back. I now stand at the door of the frothing otter, hesitant to go in.

Kalile · 07-04-2003, 02:25 PM
