The Inn at Bree was busy the night of the storm, farmers caught unawares by the sudden squall made their way slowly to the Inn for a warming mug of ale, fresh bread, and a pipe of tobacco and a good talk of past and present news in the Common room, so busy was the Inn that the landlord Nob and his assistant Tom hardly noticed the drenched figure, it was the firgures dress that caught Nobs attention at last, and sending Tom off to mind the cries for drink in the Common Room, he attended his newest guest.
As Nob got closer he blinked to make sure his eyes did'nt decive him, infront of him was a hobbit no more then a lad, but the face could not be mistaken for any other, the stranger seeing Nobs strange expression stood on gaurd his hand on the sword by his side,"No no master take your hand away from that log cleaver"at that the stranger looked indignate but still did not speak"I meant you no harm, indeed for a moment you looked like a guest who stayed here when Master Butterburr was alive and I was just an apprentice. It was before the wars. His name was Master Pippin I do beleive."
Then the Hobbit spoke, a laugh in his voice."No wonder you had us mixed up, many an old friend has called me Peregrin,but my name is Elaird the son of Faramir the second. What is the price of a room?" Tom had since returned and lead Elaird to his room. When he was changed he made his way to the Common Room and ordered a meal, half way through his meal Elaird saw two men standing in a coner eyeing him intently with malice in their eyes.

If anyone else asks this is a free for all. Join in if you'd like.
Elairds hand slowly went to the hilt by his side, he was considering if he should draw it and challenge the men in the corner when...

The men in the corner quietly exchange a few words and then walk over to where Elaird was sitting. The taller of the two walked up him, but the other stayed a few feet away, his lowered head covered by a dark hood. The man that can up to him was tall for a human; he had a scared, battle worn face and piercing gray eyes. He wore weather stained clothes, covered over by a dark green hunting cloak. He pushed back his hood to reveal graying hair and several strange tattoos on his forehead and cheekbones. “Greetings young man” he says in a deep voice, “I didn’t mean to frighten you,” he says with a half smile. Elaird realizes he is holding on to the table, and quickly moves his hands, trying not to look as intimidated as he feels. “My name is Thenragoss, you don’t know me, but I know you, Elaird”. Thenragoss glances over at the other man, “This is my friend Faylore”, he motions for his friend to come over and he cautiously does so. He removes his hood to reveal not a man, but a young woman. She is in her mid-twenties and has golden blonde hair. She says nothing to Elaird but simply gives a short bow. Her face has the tattoos like Thenragoss’s and though she is fair, her face is marked with several scars. Elaird immediately notices the Elven resemblance, a half-elf perhaps?

"What should I do now?", asked Elaird.
"You will know when it is time", said Faylore silently, looking at someone else.
"What, what's there?", asked Elaird, quickly turning around.
"DO NOT LOOK there", ordered Thenragoss.
But 'twas too late. Elaird looked there where he shouldn't look and what he saw was an old-looking man standing near the door. He looked somehow strange.
Suddenly, Faylore jumped from the table, ran to the man and spotted a dagger to his breast:
"YOU!!! You're the one who I want DEAD", she shouted, angrily.
The man raised his hat, revealing the face. Everyone turned and looked at him.
"Gandalf!", someone shouted.
"Yes, that's me", replied Gandalf.
"Who are these guys?", asked Elaird once more.
"They are bad", said Gandalf, taking Faylore's hand and twisting it, "help me kill them, and I'll tell you more".
Elaird took a knife from the table and tried to hit Thenragoss, but all he hit was a part of open space. His mind turned black and he fell...

OK, that's my part, the rest is up to another ones.

Elaird opened his eyes. He was in one of the chambers of the "Dancing ponny", lying on a bed. Gandalf was sitting near him and looking through a window.
"What happened?", asked Elaird.
"Oh, our little friend has awaken. Tell him, Faramir", replied Gandalf.
Elaird turned his head and saw Faramir, the son of Faramir and Eowyn the shieldmaiden. "What are you doing here?", Elaird asked.
"Helping you and Gandalf".
"Oh, and how has Gandalf come here?"
"He's the only one who knows"
"Gandalf, tell me, please, oh pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaase..."
"OKay OKay".

I am sorry Legolas but have you ever written before? I dont want to be judgmental, but are you around 7 years old? Have you ever read a book where the characters talk like "YOU!!! You're the one who I want DEAD" or "They are bad" have you ever read a book at all? or maybe just watched that detestable lotr cartoon, and where the heck is the Dancing ponny? If your going to write like you were born yesterday, could you start your own story?

Elaird vision is blurry and he can just make out someones face looking over him. When he comes to, he see's Thenragoss bending over him and realizes he is laying on the floor by his table. He is starteld and trys to get up, but finds his limbs weak,but he manages to sit up a little. His hand still clutched his sword. "Wha, what happend?" he mummbles. "Easy lad" says Thenragoss and helps him up to his chair again. "Dont know, you just went out like a light soon as you saw Faylore, you had much to drink tonight lad?" Elaird felt weak and his head was pounding "n-no" He glanced over to where he though he saw Gandlaf but there was no one there. Faylore was looking at him with some consern on her face.

Tanmirdose sighed,

another day of working in the inn, another day of gruff costumers, another day of taking care of the messes drunken travelers had caused.
"I will get out of hear one day" he promised him self "some day......."
he looked around the room he was in, he had just finished his shift for the day and was in his room, he saw nothing out of place, it was the same room he had been sleeping in for the past few years, the old wooden bed in the corner, the small but serviceable dresser that was next to his bed, it was made to double as a night stand witch explained the lack of height and width. Tan walked to his window, which over looked the entrance to the inn, he opened that window and looked out, [I] it looks so peaceful [I] he thought, but his moment of calm was shattered by a raucous laugh, most likely coming from some drunk patron laughing at another drunk staggering about.

he was still looking out the window when a small personage walked up to the door and, pausing for a moment to wipe his feet on the door mat, entered the inn. [i] a hobbit! [i] he thought in surprise [i] i must remember to go down some time and see what brings him!, he is obviously a outsider. [i]

ok that should give me some way to join the game.

Sakata,

did you think that was more descriptive?

P.S. If there is a spell mess-up then I'm sorry, but if the spell check does not catch it, i wont either :o

Sorry if anyone thinks I am a very bad writer, but that is not so. It's just because I'm not English, and I don't know English enough to experess my thoughts. I'm not a good writer at all, but I just want to write about Middle-Earth.
And the "Dancing Ponny" is a translation from Lithuanian of the inn at Bree. I guess it should be "Prancing Ponny" or something.

:hugs legolas:

oh don't worry about it, she can be a bit gruff sometimes, that is all.

and also she probubly had no idea that you are not a native English speaker.

but still, I think that it was a bit of the dialog was a touch too silly (but who am i to be casting stones?)

WE BAD RPGER'S NEED TO STAND TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!
lol ;)

Sakata

11-14-2001, 10:27 PM

Sorry Legolas, didnt know.

hats off to tess btw, worthy of the publishers if you ask me, but how does it tie into the story?

dont worry about spelling, I think I can spell just about as good as a third grader and I am too lazy to spell check everything ;)

Tessar

11-14-2001, 11:15 PM

well you see,

that gives him a background and a reason to be downstairs when the commotion is over ;)

P.S. I think we should all do a description of our characters. i.e.

his name is: XXXXXXXX

he is a, (elf, dwarf, hobbit, whatever,)

he skills are: XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXX

I know that it might be obvious whose what and stuff but i think it might be helpful

(also I think that in addition to my good guy it would be fun to do a bad guy :eek: you know, something new)

Sakata

11-15-2001, 07:49 PM

I guess I will be writing for Faylore and Thenragoss since I introduced them, I can always kill one off if it gets to be too much.

Faylore
-female half-elf half-human
-the normal elvin stuff archery, fast runner, fletching etc. and a good swordsmen
-good guy

Thenragoss
-human male -very tall,buff
-warrior, hunter, swordsmen
-good guy, but we can always make him turn on everyone in the end or somthing?

note: Im okay if Thenragoss gets killed, but you touch Faylore and I am out of here :mad:

Tessar

11-15-2001, 08:48 PM

Tanmirdose, (just call him Tan)

a young elf boy, maybe 13-15 In human years

agile, fast funner, good with a Dirk, ok with star blades (yes i know what there called, I'm just to lazy to look it up),
has rarly even tuched a bow,
has some magic powers
(dont worry, its just small stuff like being able to slow other people down, throw stuff harder than normal and with better acurasy. that stuff)

he is a good guy.

some where along the line i will introduce a bad guy too.

Yun,

most likely he knows some dark magic (again, not super powerful stuff, but he will be a bit better than Tan.)

his age is hard to tell, he could be 40 or he might only be 25 or so.

at first he will seem good, but of corse he will turn bad.

Sakata

11-17-2001, 01:44 PM

an elf that has hardly touched a bow? where did this kid grow up?

Aragorn

11-18-2001, 10:49 PM

Can I join, I know I'm a bit new but believe me, I am experienced with RPing. Anyway, about my character, I was wondering if I could do this?:

Aragorn The 2nd(but just called Aragorn), Son of Aragorn, Son Of Arathorn

Can I join, and, if so, is my character okay?

Tessar

11-18-2001, 11:17 PM

that is for samwize to decide if our people are ok.

I'm gona send her a pm to get her back over hear (she started it you see so she is the mod for it)

samwise of the shire

11-20-2001, 05:40 PM

A cloaked stranger appears in the thread."Tesseract the need for the PM is totally uneeded, Samwise has returned *removes the cloak and reveals the short curly brown head and funny smile*
Sorry about that I had a babyish thought that people did'nt like this story so I kind of forgot it :o
I Like the chars you guys now here comes mine:
Elaird Took is 27 years of age which in our ages is 13(my age).
He has drk soil brown hair and bright hazel eyes that sparkle with youth and mischeviousness(he takes after his granddad Pippin)but he's also loyal and brave and his eyes show it(He also takes after his OTHER granddad Sam).
His weapons are a dagger, staff, and short sword and he's still trying to get the sword and dagger straight but the staff in his hands becomes a deadly weapon. He's got tan skin from working in a garden and large hands for a 13 yro, he also puts his foot in his mouth and tends to stumble literally.
Here we go.

Elaird groaned, it was true he had drunken more than he was used too last night, he had only been allowed to drink half a cup of weak ale and the ale he had drunken the night before had been the strongest stuff around. Sitting up he looked at Faramir and Gandalf with suprise"Gandalf you help me?What danger am I in for as I know from my Grandfather Peregrin your sudden apperances showed how much danger someone is in. So what danger am I in for following the footsteps of my Grandfathers? Please explain".
Gandalf turned out to the window, "Elaird, one stronger then Sauron has been realized from his chains in the Dungeons of Manwe, with his power Sauron can return, and the darkness of old return and because you are the Grandson of the servant of the Ringbeaer you are in MORTAL danger, for if Sauron returns he will want revenge and will reseave power from his master to do so, Frodo is safe and your Grandfather is safe but the others who are desendants of the ringbearers are in mortal danger. " There was a shocked silence as Elaird gaped up at the wizard"So you returned from the Undying Lands to aid me in my need". Then a question came to his mouth that would make all in the room gasp."Who is this great enemy Gandalf?" the young lad asked. One answer was all that Gandalf uttered"Morgoth".
Ok, I will return later on because I have chores to do but before you get him I have an Idea for that on Hobbit that stopped at the door and um I was wondering if I could have him?
Sam or Elaird you decide

Aragorn

11-20-2001, 06:16 PM

OOC: Okay, I take that as a yes. My character is Aragorn The Second, Son Of Aragorn, Son Of Arathorn. He was born before the LotR trilogy unbeknowst to Aragorn The First. He has traveled from afar in search of his fathers past. And don't tell me anything about Aragorn because I haven't completed the LotR series. Aragorn The Second(but just called Aragorn) is a warrior at heart. His companion is Duriel. Duriel is a friend of Aragorn from his boyhood, and has gone questing with him, in search of his father, who, went off with some of the townspeople to battle Isengard. Duriel never knew if his father made it there or if he died at the battle, but he hopes his father is alive. Duriel is also a warrior, but he does posses knowledge. He would even, to an extent, be considered a wise man. Their story begins...

IC:

Just then the door opened, and two strangers entered, men. They shut the door behind them and walked over to the bar. The swords were visible, sheathed on their belt. They took off their hoods and one of them(Aragorn) was the exact image of Aragorn, Son of Arathorn. They talked to the bartender. Glancing around the inn from time to time. They seemed from afar, knowing nothing about the inn or town they were in. Aragorn spoke aloud now.

"I was wondering where we could get a room?"

samwise of the shire

11-21-2001, 03:11 PM

In the Common room the young hobbit asked if Nob could tell Elaird Took that " Balin of Erebor awaits Bullroarer Took" and that "He will understand". The Young hobbit sat back and waited. Suddenly there was a mad scamper of feet down the hall and into the room, "Ardain Brandybuck"Elaird called out"Over here cousin over here"Ardain called out as he waved Elaird to his table,"Cousin I have terrible news, we cannot trust ANYONE" Elaird began. "Yes you are right Elaird of the Shire, you cannot trust anyone. Which is why I need to talk to Gandalf. Please take me to him" Aragorn had seen the hobbits joyfull reunion. The three travellers made their ways back to the room.

Ok I'll repeat this. ANY CHARACTER IS WELCOME TO JOIN you dont have to ask me, but please make sure there is an opening for your character(s), so Aragorn you're OK.

Aragorn

11-21-2001, 03:56 PM

Okay, I'm a little confused about your post samwise. Do you mean Aragorn, me Aragorn? Or some other Aragorn? Was that me saying "Yes you are right Elaird of the Shire, you cannot trust anyone. Which is why I need to talk to Gandalf. Please take me to him"? Was my character one of the three characters you talked about going to the room? I'm confused...

samwise of the shire

11-21-2001, 10:18 PM

Yep, that's you, Aragorn is YOUR Aragorn Unless there is another one I dont know about. Now I've made up alot of the story it's YOUR guyses turn. I's be back though. ;)

Aragorn

11-21-2001, 10:26 PM

*Samwise, there's one small problem. Aragorn knowes barely anything about his father, he has come here in search of his father's past, he doesn't know of Gandalf, Frodo, or anyone from the company. Oh yeah, and Duriel is my second character, he is with Aragorn, you seemed to have excluded him a bit. :D*

Sakata

11-23-2001, 02:04 PM

um, what the hell is going on? I thought the gandalf thing was a dream? hehe we are having dark stragers walking in every 2 seconds, its time to do some killing off, but since I dont really know what is going on, I will leave that to sam.

samwise of the shire

11-23-2001, 02:10 PM

Ooops missed that part*sheepish grin*Let's get part of this straight, Elaird is the SON of Faramir and Goldilocks which makes Pippin and Sam his Grandfathers, so Aragorn the second would have to be around AFTER the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. Did you notice that NOB is the landlord?
Ok I'll get this straight.
In the Common room the young hobbit asked if Nob could tell Elaird Took that " Balin of Erebor awaits Bullroarer Took" and that "He will understand". The young hobbit sat back and waited. Suddenly there was a mad scamper of feet down the hall and into the room, the young hobbit stood as Elaird looked about the room, suddenly with a joyfull cry Elaird saw his visitor."Ardain Brandybuck you followed!" The two hobbits met and embraced. Elaird pulled back and looked at his cousin happily but then sobered. "Ardain come to my room. Gandalf has grim news." "Gandalf? I thought he had left. What is he doing back?"
Suddenly ELaird turned and noticed two figures were watching them intently. At the realization they had been seen the two figures came foward and introduced themselves."I am Aragorn the son of Aragorn the son of Arathorn and this is Duriel, we are in search of my father and his past. Can you help?"
Elaird and Ardain gaped at the stranger, ARAGORN the SON of Aragorn! Elaird slowly nodded his head his hazel eyes bright with exitment"follow me"he said in a whisper. And motioning the two men to follow them the four travelars left the room.
How's that? I'm sorry about the mix up. Let's continue

Aragorn

11-23-2001, 02:38 PM

Aragorn was filled with joy, though he did not show it. Aragorn saw them staring at him and wondered if his father was of some importance here. It didn't matter to him though. Just knowing what his father was like and his history was enough for him. Aragorn and Duriel followed the two....Aragorn had no idea what they were. He would find out in due time. Aragorn spoke with Duriel as they followed.

"Don't worry, maybe your father knew mine."

Duriel turned to Aragorn.

"I never thought of that, maybe you're right!"

"We will find out soon enough my friend."

They continued to follow the small creatures.

samwise of the shire

11-23-2001, 07:12 PM

Ok we need some CLEARING UP. Notice the fact that Gandalf stops Elaird from sitting up in the room in like the fourth or fifth post.
Let's get this show on the road
Elaird,Ardain, Aragorn and Duriel stopped short as they entered the small room, Thenragoss,Faylore, Gandalf(read Legolases second post on the first page), Faramir, and Tanmirdos were all gone. But Elaird fear were relieved when he saw Tan coming down the hall "Hoy there you young lad, where have you all gotten to?" "Funny thing sir I was told by Gandalf to come and get you and take you to the parlour where we are resting in more comfort." The five companions made their way in to the parlour. There the others stared at the fire with grim faces, Gandalf looked up as the inn travellars made their way intot he room..... WHat next. My basic plot is kind of like LOTR but this time we've got Morgoth involved and the next step is to discuss what we're gonna do next and introduce Aragorn and Duriel and all them so...lets burn up some road, I think I'm suffocating in this inns atmosphere.

I just want to know.

samwise of the shire

11-24-2001, 08:33 PM

Ok let's ge this show on da road.
Faramir turned around to face the newcomers, looking with amusment at Ardain he replied"so this is "Balin of Erebor"? Bowing before the hobbit he stood and looked at Aragorn with amazment and then he bowed the knee to the man before him"my leige Prince"he whispered. Aragorn looked down at the man kneeling before him with shock and confusion. Turning to Gandalf he asked"Who is this man and why does he do this? And who are you my friend?" Gandalf turned to him and replied"You are his lord and master. He is the son of Faramir the prince of Ithillien and the ancient kings of Gondor created the gardens in Ithillien for their pleasure and so you are his master and I am Gandalf the wizard" Aragorn bade Faramir rise and sat down in the only spare chair, the hobbits and Faramir sat on the floor infront of the fire and Gandalf began to explain their peril"I have heard that the Great Enemy Melkor-at this name a dark shadow fell on EVERYONES faces-has been unchained from the dungeons of Manwe and has pleaded innocent and changed, but there is still blackness in his heart, and thankfully the Varda were reluctant to let him go at first but he has been given freedom to roam the Halls of Manwe at will and may darken hearts and that is where he is still but if he is let to roam then Middle Earth."
More Later at around um...later
Sam
"He will plunge us in another dark age. We will be sent help but of what type I am not sure, we are to be his companions and help him in concouring Melkor" ELaird looke dup from the fire"so this is to be yet anothe Ring quest only worse and more difficult?" Gandalf looked at the group of People" We are all to go to Rivendell and seek advice there and maybe you friend"he said turning to Aragorn"will discover your history and who your family is" Aragorn nodded gratefully. Soon the group was ready to leave Bree.
Ok, who's goin with us? It's up to you.
Sam
