Fellowship of the ringwraiths discussion thread - Page 5

Butterbeer · 06-13-2005, 03:52 PM

welcome EB and take those handcuffs off - people will get the wrong idea!

Well for the momment join in the drinking - if that is not too ardous

?

At the momment all is fun and games as we relay the 'human' side - or 'not so dark side' to the wraiths and they are merrily 'on a pleasure cruise' : we are on chapter 'strawberries and champagne' currently: please check with the others first but this will be a semi-serious rpg later (with always the freedom to play a little though) but at the momment we are just exploring the various characters at play and 'having a holiday': the premise is that the nazgul could not have been looking in all earnestness at this point for the ring or for the shire as instructed: with speed and secrecy: sub-plots include that the WK (wikkie) actually did know where the shire was from his horticultural period in the north ( in th' good ol' days .... starts humming the Dukes of hazard theme tune again ... sorry!)

... and many more ....

every story has two sides and this is the other one - at the momment we are seeing the Naughty Nine at play: letting their hair down and enjoying this rare and brief respite from their enslaved existence.... i'm sure gordis when she stops snogging the pale king will inform you more of our next movements: theres an excellent map posted a bit earlier that will help and the threads 'the eye of sauron' and the 'nazgul horses' among others that others will hopefully post here are the essential reading matter as some background...

take your time on the background though: it is probably quite large: but here's the important bit ...

welcome aboard the night train....

EarthBound · 06-13-2005, 03:58 PM

Sounds great, excellent idea. Is it a traditional 3rd person role play, like the Lyrd's write? Or, are we assigned characters to toy with and represent? And, do you begin your sentences, properly, with conjunctions?

Uh, you know my ability to remain serious is very questionable, right?

Butterbeer · 06-13-2005, 04:11 PM

well you could level that last bit at both me and (i hope he doesn't take any offence) at LCOU too ...

but it is NOT lyrds : it is fun and open but only within some very at the momment undefined guidelines .... ahem

its a mix of 3rd party and 1st person at the mo' please check who's being played by who : gor is gor, Chrys is gothmog, crazy squirrel of the many names is lilly etc... but all can be all pretty easily currently...

conjunctions??????

conjoin thee do i to this RPG, indeed yes .... ( how was that?) .... with this ring i thee bind ( to the rpg

)

best

Welcome EarthBound!

What a good news that our fellowship grows.
You may pick a character or continue as you like in a third person.
As our wandering Squirrel is absent till July(?) we all can use her Lily and Lily's tail.

You are free to describe the end of the drinking orgy and the following march along the Great West Road.
But I am afraid that as it is the season for strawberries the nazgul may be distracted again?
What is Sauron doing, I wonder?

Butterbeer: Wauuu, I got a kiss from Wikkie! Ummm, thanks.
Lily may be jealous...

Perhaps it will make her join sooner.

d'you think any other tasty fruits will be found growing along the way?

Gordis · 06-13-2005, 05:24 PM

Like What?

Last Child of Ungoliant · 06-13-2005, 05:26 PM

hmm, and there's a question...one wonders what wraiths can get addicted to?

Gordis · 06-13-2005, 05:32 PM

I would say let the strawberries be their only minor

weak spot. But they will surely need more wine!

What about the story? Have you an idea why this Lily screeched again?

Last Child of Ungoliant · 06-13-2005, 05:34 PM

i tell you, she's doin my...er, doin gothmog's head in

he has a bit of a headache

Butterbeer · 06-13-2005, 05:44 PM

already?

Lightweight!

(hiccup)

er.. i think Lily screeched because she was jealous!

yes: what is sauron doing? and what of the story: where's TD and the other 2 of the nine? We can lark around for a while but in the hateful day rest up a bit ... after this night's party really gets going ...

Gordis · 06-13-2005, 05:45 PM

Poor Goth! What can help a nazgul with a headache? Ask Eight, isn't he a great healer?

It's all in your mind Last child of Gothmog: here have a strawberry: Eight says it'll do you good!

CrazySquirrel · 06-14-2005, 09:56 AM

Sorry, Gordis, I don't really mean it!

I am very grateful to you for leading my Lily. Hope you will continue

PLEASE

I shall be back in July!

I'm here. Sorry, haven't been around for a while.

Telcontar_Dunedain · 06-14-2005, 01:31 PM

I was thinking that Khamûl could be he one faithful to Sauron, but keeps it hidden. What do you tihnk?

Gordis · 06-14-2005, 02:08 PM

TD, I have recently posted my accusations against Khamul in the Line of Elros thread:

About trusting Khamul. He was the one who sensed the Ring better than all the other nazgul, save the Wikkie (UT).

But:

1.Khamul was the one who went to Hobbitton and spoke with the Gaffer and missed Frodo standing nearby.
2.Khamul was the one who passed the hidden hobbits on the road
3.Khamul run away from singing elves, when he had plenty of time to get both Frodo and the Ring before they approached.
4.He again was the one at the Bucklebury ferry.
And just reread it. In the frosty air all the sounds carried far. The hobbits and Maggot were listening for the sound of hoofs intently, but heard none. And then when they had gotten onto the ferry and out of reach, Khamul appears on the landing, on foot. I bet he was near the ferry all the time, as no one heard the hooves of his horse! But he appeared only when the Ring was out of reach!

The evidence of Khamul's treachery is the most damning.

So, if you want to make him faithful to Sau,which of course is good for adding more intrigue to the plot

, you must choose from the following options:
1. either he changed his mind at some point during the hunt, before they reached the Shire
2. or he was afraid that if he got the Ring for Sau, Wikkie would be able to take it from him and use it himself.

Telcontar_Dunedain · 06-14-2005, 04:34 PM

Okay. I'll go with Khamûl is driving the Ring to Mordor, but doesn't capture it in fear of Wikkie.

Gordis · 06-14-2005, 05:03 PM

Oh, my! What shall I do? Will there be a Morgul-knife fight?
Save me guys! The evil Squirrel is dangerous!

Butterbeer · 06-14-2005, 05:37 PM

More of a cat-fight than a squirrel fight, methinks: go for it!

.... so Khamul is a 'loyal' traitor eh? Actually the wraith at old gamgee's door and the great sense of the ring when frodo is just round the corner before setting off has a lot to answer to all round: but then again how far have our fellowship actually at this point ( in the rpg) determined that Wikkie or the group are seeking for the one for WK or the Nine rather than our great Lo... i mean Mr 'Mordor' Magoo ?

Bear that in mind TD: at what point does the loyal dog Khamul learn of wikkie's plans? - or suspect even if wikkie plays it closer to his chest?
