To All
I have updated the list of characters above in this thread.

If you want me to add more details on your characters, I will be happy to do so

i kinda like gothmog, so can i carry on using him mainly (obviously other people use him too,) and can he be maybe slightly mad?

although all is fine if not, and everything is good so far

Gothmog is all yours , if others have no objections.
You can post a bio for him and I will add it into the character list.

And sure he can suffer from SPS-PM syndrome at times (see Ask Gollum thread)

But we have a big problem: where is this Lily the Crazy Squirrel?
Hey, Squirrel!!!

I think we continue to use Lily as we all see fit

sorry, must have been half asleep or something, as i am now. I'll post tommorow. Nice touch to bring in the eye...

[Gordis]

I have drawn the route of the nazgul on the map. I am fond of maps and I believe it may be helpful. I wanted to attach it, but the map (jpg) file is 168 KB, while only 9,8 KB is allowed here. If reduced to this size the map becomes unreadable. Can anybody here give me an advice, what to do?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

upload it to a file hoster, like photobucket, and then link it,
or email it to me and i will do that for you

[Butterbeer]

Can you optimize it in photoshop? use the save for web command. else crop it into smaller sections and we'll all reassemble it at our ends?

failing that does anyone have a website we can temporarily upload to?

Is it scanned in? if so what res?

a map? Nice!

btw i am trying to read up on olmer etc and all that jazz so i am properly clued in (well hey! theres a first for everything! )

I take it at this point we are 'going slow' and spreading fear and darkness far and wide, (possibly on a grand scale?) going unsaid at this point that we know nothing' of the shire or bree etc! ?? ala the Olmerian treatsie? (before it mutates into the Moot community mealstorm Mix)


or is it still undeteremined by Wikkie and the good ol' boys and Goth girls yet?


PS
Lotesse is in but is having comp' u tir' problems herself at the mo!
anyword on the One? (Olmer) or the Nutty nibbler?


best all

I loved your last contribution, Butterbeer! Lily becomes my fav. character.

The map I have sent to Last Child who generously offered to do the hard job for me. It is a KW Fonstad map I got from the web.
When I get the link, I will post the explanation.

I think Sau told Wikkie or all of them to look for Baggins and the Shire. I suppose Wikkie knows where the Shire is, but keeps quiet.

I think we shall have a nice thunderstorm first.
We can also meet the Druedan, if you like, they are close to us now, we have to cross the forest.
Then we follow the road, than have a merring stream crossing scene and Entwade wading scene then hop over the Rohan wall and get our clothes and horses and at last have fun.

Nay, nothing.
But I have nasty plans for the Squirrel (I mean Lily of course)

Hi, All!

I am posting the map of the region taken from The Atlas of Middle Earth, Revised Edition, Karne Wynn Fonstad.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...on/396ab822.jpg

The supposed route of the unclad and horseless Ringwraiths is marked in BLUE. Probable day stops are marked by dots. Dates (July 3018) are in blue. River crossings are shown by red dots.

I believe they have followed the Great West road and then turned North to avoid Edoras. Crossing the river Snowbourne (without a bridge or a ford- what a feat!) they came to the Entwade ford (let's suppose on the 11.07). Then they climed over the Wall of Rohan and reached the Anduin bank north of Sarn Gebir (16.07) There on 17.07 they received horses and raiment ferried over the Anduin from the other side.

I hope it will be helpful.

Please, don't feel restricted by it. I am just fond of maps and mapping things and calculating dates. That's all.

I am not putting bonds on your imagination. Let your Muse run free.
The map can always be corrected!

[Butterbeer]

great! have it .

Nice work LCOU and Gordis

is it just me or can you too hear the benny hill music when you envisage the journey?

(don't worry gordis we'll not be too silly honestly)

i like the idea we flesh out their characters a bit: after all every story has 2 sides and this is the Nazgul's pont of view:

we cannot trust these blood-ridden sunlight sleazy, fleshy types and their discrimination against good honest orcs or wraiths etc!)

eg: gandalf presumably would be some sinister frightening old man wandering around in dirty rags ? ??

i think everyone who needs to 9 i for one) should do a bit of research into the various theories and timelines: this could be brought out in first person dialouge if nessecary, whilst still being enjoyable


does your map match up to the one's gordis? (well now theres a whole new thread ready to go ... )

[Butterbeer]

fast?

your'e not kidding i have just replied to see 3 or 4 posts in between!


Whoooosh!

hmm, followed closely by galadriel, arwen, eowyn and rosie? dadadadaa-da dadader derderder

[Butterbeer]

well as we are ourselves are unclad ..... it seems only fair now doesn't it?

(sorry Gordis! LCOU: we have to be semi serious here: not all the time but at least half the time! make sure you read up on the various theories! )

This music is quite fitting!
Good idea about old fool Gandalf and "other fleshy types". Also those disgusting elves!

I like your jokes in the thread, BB and LCOU, I just can't write that funny myself!

[Gordis]

Well, Butterbeer, feel free to describe the horrors of the thunderstorm.
I am off for today.Best
G

[Butterbeer]

Now now Gordis, we're relying on you to keep us in check and on track (lcou and i are lethal when not kept in check - fine on our own just a tad silly when fused ... )


anyway besides i must totally disagree with you ....


your descriptive writing has made me laugh many many times and your ideas

(i.e the fellowship of the ringwraiths!)

are without peer.


I think we need bushy tail to add some serious gravitas in here!

It'll be good if the One (Olmer, would add some input) and when lotesse arrives back etc.

Td can be both grounded and very funny: so we need his input too.


Seriously though lets not make this rpg go too silly: theres plenty of natural scope with the subject matter without piling it on.


its ok here in the discussion thread: anything goes here and thats official!

(imagines horrible blood-warm fleshy type toothless Parky careering around after galadriel and arwen etc)



ps
just seen your post above: night gordis.
