<LOTR> The Fate of The North

[garyh]

"And where will your travels take you, Arador?" Belegon asked.

OOC: Belegon can take any watch needed. If others similarly him and haw , he'll take middle. He will not sleep in armor (I assume there are penalties for it in this system. If there aren't, he will sleep in his armor).

Originally spoken by Arador

"Well, there is the quest put before you. What questions do you have of me? If you have none, we should set a watch and get what rest we may. We must be away at dawn. You on your quest and I on mine."

"Arador, if these tombs and ruins are being ransacked, do you have any idea to what end?"

Eidar then turns to the gathered company. "There are eight of us that will travel on from here, may I suggest that we divide the night into four watches of two. We will need to have our wits about us and longer watches lend themselves to wandering minds, which we can ill afford. I will volunteer myself for a middle watch, I sleep little anyway."


OOC: Eidar will take it upon himself to look after the horses whenever camp is set. He will sleep in armour regardless of penalty and always keep his axe and an unlit torch by his bedroll.

Strabo's ears perk up at Eidar's question. The talk of Angmar, Rhuduar and Mt Gram has made the hobbit uneasy. He listens eagerly for Arador's reply.

After Aradors reply, Strabo will volunteer for the first watch. "I think the watch in pairs is an excellent ideas Eidar" he says. The hobbit will sleep without his armor to prevent any penalties

"I will stand a middle watch also," Lanwi says. "Sleep is for the weak!" He bursts out laughing, a good natured smile upon his face. He looks around at the others, then grows a bit moreserious as he sees the elves. "I have heard, though, that the folk of the trees never sleep." He brightens again: "What good watchmen they must make!"

Lanwi looks at the map and shuffles his feet a bit, seemingly embarassed. He gestures uncertainly at the writing on the map. "I-I must confess to ignorance in the way of scrolls. Few among my folk are learned in the art of...of...this scratching. Writing! Yes, that's the word. We make similar maps, sometimes, in the dirt, to get our bearings. The words, though, elude me. My apologies." He bows. "If told the way, though, I rarely stray from the path."

OOC: Lanwi will sleep in his leather armor. A fine roleplaying tradition must continue!

Valangil replies "I will take last watch, who will stand with me?" As for sleep habits unless there are penalties for leather armor, Valangil will sleep in armor with Dagorist close to hand.

"Arador, if these tombs and ruins are being ransacked, do you have any idea to what end?"

"This is the riddle I must try to unravel." He says, acknowledging Belegon and his query.

"I must travel to Fornost and Annuminas to determine if any disturbances have occurred there, then I must seek out a Lore Master who is learned in the history of the Dunedain of the north to determine what may be driving these desecrations. The lords of Arnor were interred with many riches and items of wonder - some of these from old Numenor. I fear the item or items sought may be fabled to hold some great power that will benefit the finder."

He looks at Valangil and says, "I will try to meet you at Mt. Gram, but do not tarry longer than a day awaiting me. Go either to Angmar, if that be your need, or to Rivendell with your reconnaissance."

 

[Darth Ecks]

"I will join Master Underhill in the first watch."

OOC: Lorin will sleep out of his armor.

 

[Mirth]

Valangil replies "I will take last watch, who will stand with me?" As for sleep habits unless there are penalties for leather armor, Valangil will sleep in armor with Dagorist close to hand.

"I will stand with you, Valangil," Sirandir says, glancing towards Eidar and back the elf continues, "My need for sleep is little as well, so none of you should have any fear of waking me, should the need arise."

OOC: Sorry, I've been sick. I'll try to keep up the post rate now. Arador, I got your email but haven't gotten a chance to look over the character yet. I'll post in the OOC thread once I have.

 

[Inez Hull]

Hearing Lanwi volunteer for a middle watch, Eidar shifts uncomfortably in his seat and then turns to Belegon. "Belegon of Gondor, I would have you share watch with me. I have visited your white city once and would hear from you those tales of your history that are unknown to me."

 

[ColonelHardisson]

Lanwi nods to Eidar. "Ah, good horse-sir, if you will but let me, I will show you not all Dunlendings are savage horse-eaters." Then he grins. "Well, not until we have need..." and he laughs. "No, no, I jest. Let us stand watch together, and share tales of our homeland."

OOC: Inez Hull, don't feel obligated to take Lanwi up on this. He just sees himself as a "goodwill ambassador," and expects to be rebuffed at first. I'm just saying this so it doesn't come off as I'm being overbearing - I'm just roleplaying
