<LOTR> The Fate of The North

[Daiymo]

Strabo wakes with somes difficulty, but even half awake, sees the concern of Eidar and the others. Concerned, he follows Eidar toward the edge of the camp. As he does, he pulls out a throwing stone from his bag.

As he hears the crack of the whip, he flinches, and prepares for the worse, imagining nazgul springing from the darkness.

'Should have slept in my armor' he thinks to himself.

Lanwi tries to catch the eye of Sirandir, and gestures for him to hold his position. Lanwi then cuts stealthily across the hillside in the direction he first came when coming to Weathertop, keeping cover, until he can find a place to go to the foot of the hill. He will then walk the same path towards the old campsite. If spotted, or when he comes into hailing distance, he will call out in Dunlending: "I am a Dunlending from the South. I've come looking for someone to sell my spear to, but there are too few friends of the Dark Lord hereabouts. I look for one named Anorien." Lanwi stands alert, but not obviously threatening, resting on his spear, and awaits the reply of the figures.

OOC: Hey, if they kill me, I'll make sure not to give away the position of the others

 

[Mirth]

Sirandir is just about to call out and demand the release of the orcish one when Lanwi gestures to him. The elf readies his bow and uses the distraction that Lanwi provides to move ever closer to the pair near the wagon.

As Lanwi starts moving across the hillside and Sirandir inches closer, the Orcish one makes a half move for his axe then stops and says "I smell man, horse, elf, and dwarf, and maybe one of those little pipsqueeks from Bree. They was close, maybe still here."

The other spits and says "Bah!! It was probably some of those dirty rangers. Forget about them and get back in the wagon. We are already going to be late with the supplies. I want to make another 7 leagues before the sun comes up."

The sniffer looks around and sniffs the air one last time then gets back into the wagon - grumbling something unintelligible. The black clad man spits again and gets in the wagon as well.

About this time is when Lanwi gets to the bottom of the hill and starts up the path.

What's next?

 

[rangerjohn]

Valangil grows agitated when he sees Lanwi leave. He raises a brow to Arador when he spouts his gibberish in Dunlanish, with the one clear name of Anorien. He then settles in to watch the camps reaction.

 

[garyh]

Beregon waits at the campfire and uses the time Lanwi is scouting to get into his chain shirt as quietly as possible.

 

[ColonelHardisson]

About this time is when Lanwi gets to the bottom of the hill and starts up the path.

What's next?

OOC: Lanwi will still do what I mention above.

 

[Darth Ecks]

Lorin joins Beregon in getting into a chain shirt and moves up towards Eidar, being careful not to make noise.

 

[arador359]

OOC: Lanwi will still do what I mention above.

Both figures turn immediately at hearing Lanwi. The armor clad man reaches down under the wagon seat and pulls out a bow and nocks an arrow.

The ragged one jumps from the wagon and pulls his axe - sniffing the air again and says (in Dunnish) "Why are you here. There is much plunder and meat in the south." The other says in the same language, "How do you know about Anorien. Come closer you stinking savage. So I can see you better."

What everyone's actions now?

 

[Inez Hull]

"What the hell is the Hillman doing? He's going to get himself killed", Eidars mutters under his breath.

He grabs his shield and weapons and moves towards the path down from the hilltop.



If there is a path down which is out of view of the road Eidar will move down this with haste, otherwise he will [attempt to] creep stealthily down the path Lanwi followed.
