I devised this R.p.g. whilst watching a prison comedy called Porridge I don't know if you've seen it but it doesn't matter.

A Prison deep in the dark of Mirkwood lies with no conections to the outside world this is where the people of Middle-Earth put the Law- Breakers and Murderers. You can be a prisoner, or a Prison-Guard.

My carachter:

here is my carachter:
Name: zavron
Race: drow
Hair: Long dark Blue
Facial features: Blackish purplish skin, Sharp teeth, Dark purple eyes.
Height: Tall,
Appearance: thin, wears a long Blue gown with special barcode Runes on the back, has a dark blue staff. Staff can be summoned when needed. Prison Guards don't know of it.
Items: Necklace with a turqouise stone on the end wrapped in metal wire. Lightning axe is locked in the weapon hold.
Personality: Evil in nature, consorts with dragons giants and other evil creatures of the world, despises the sunlight and loves the dark and shadows. Sly and sneaky.
Racial Abilites: Infravision, Sneak, Hide, NoSun, Invisibility, PickPocket.

Reason in Prison: Thief, and traitor, caught consorting with evil creatures and dabbling in dark arts.

here is a description of a drow:

Drow elves, like their surface dwelling cousins, are very magical in their nature. The difference between the two lay in the fact that Drow elves left the surface world for a subterranean existence. Drow tend to dabble more in the "dark" arts of magic, and are evil in their nature. Some Drow however are outcasts, and have decided to venture out to the surface.

Drow elves are extremely good spellcasters, and are resistant to magic as well. They are a lot weaker than humans physically, but compensate with a greater intelligence. Drow are not as hardy as most races, but are more dexterous than most as well.

Drow have developed the ability to see in the dark, to sneak up on their foes, and can hide from them equally well. Drow cannot stand direct sunlight, and feel excruciating pain when sunlight hits their skin. During this time they cannot heal any damage they have sustained or recharge their magical energies.

Good choice!! You can be in my cell!!

I lay on the top bunker making magic swirls on the ceiling. They changed colour and moved about. A voice echoed through the large Prison.

''RECREATION TIME!!''

I slid off the top bunker and walked over to the bars. A fat portly man in a Prison-Guard uniform on and shaking keys.

''Hurry-Up!!! Come on I don't wanna stay in here all day!!'' I shouted at him.

''Mind who you is talking too!! You take that tone again and I'll shove you in the Pit!!!'' He shouted back as he waddled over to my cell. The key slowly turned and the cell door creaked open.

zavron

12-10-2002, 03:57 PM

I walked out to join the other prisoners in the recreation time. I went round Nicking things from other prisoners and evn the prison-Guards. I challenged someone to a game Of baldons, which is a sort of game like draughts but you must stop your baldons from rolling off the board and you have to roll your balls to knock your opponents into the dead zone which is a kind of trough around the board, I won the game but of course I cheated. I went to the nearby Window and stared out. Another prisoner was being brought in I watched as the prisoners weapons were taken off he or she was sent inside.

zavron

12-10-2002, 04:08 PM

The prison-Guard came back.

''You've got a new cell-mate! It's another Drow.'' he said to me. Then ''Back to your cells people!!'' he anounced to the rest of the prisoners.

I walked back to my cell to see another drow unpacking some little valubles on the bottom bunk. I walked over to the ladder and climbed on to the top-bunk. She said....

Ms. Undomial

12-10-2002, 04:11 PM

I was brought to the prison of mirkwood, there most of my weapons were taken and I was put in a cell with another drow. "Hello." I said, "Who are you?"

zavron

12-10-2002, 04:16 PM

''Ok you need to know Prison rules, I'm the second in command around here. Gluglug the Boss and all Prisoners follow him. Also seeing as you're new here you'll get food last sleep last and use the faccilities last. Stick with me and you wont get in any trouble, Got It?'' I said rather fast.

Ms. Undomial

12-10-2002, 04:19 PM

I lifted my eyes, so he now saw them. I looked at him strangely, and if you had seen me it would look like I was just looking at him, but if you had seen me through his eyes, then you would see that my eyes were making circles, and slowly coming towards you. he then fell unconsious upon his bunk. when he came to I said: "What is your name?"

zavron

12-10-2002, 04:21 PM

I shook my head.

''Mind tricks will not work upon me!! So don't dare try it again for I will not be responsible for what Gluglug does to you!!!''

Ms. Undomial

12-10-2002, 04:23 PM

ooc: my eyes work on anyone execpt very special elves. therefore, it worked on you.

ic:

"I asked what your name was."

zavron

12-10-2002, 04:29 PM

''Persistant aren't you! If you do want to know my name is zavron and you've got to get used it like it or not!!!''

I shook my head again and suddenly in the blink of an eye I was behind the Drow. I poured out a Drink of water an gave the cup to the Drow. I picked up the jug of water and drank from it. I then walked over to the small cupboard I had and pulled out a set of elvish games and boards.

''Want to play?'' I asked profering the games.

Ms. Undomial

12-10-2002, 04:42 PM

I was handed a cup by the drow, but i did not drink. he asked me if I wanted to play a elvish game, I said: "No. I am Kaima. how did you get here?"

zavron

12-10-2002, 04:58 PM

I was about to answer when a Prison-Guards voice came to my ears.

''SLOP-OUT!!!'' It said.
''Ahh...Slop-Out.''I said to myself.
''What's a slop-out?'' asked Kaima.
''Toilet Privlages.'' I said simply.

The Prison-Guard came round and unlocked all the Cells. A huge line cued outside one- single bathroom.

''Try to get in before the Orcs if you can! They leave a Frightful mess!'' I smirked and then made my way down the stairs.

Ms. Undomial

12-10-2002, 04:59 PM

ooc: I am NOT Losi'!!!!

zavron

12-10-2002, 05:13 PM

ooc: sorry I'll edit that.

Ms. Undomial

12-10-2002, 05:27 PM

ooc: its ok. please get on with the story. :)

zavron

12-12-2002, 01:21 PM

I walked back to my cell and stared out of the barred window. The sun was setting beyond the trees. I watched as The guards slowly left one-by-one. Kaima came back.

''What are you looking at?'' she asked as she entered.
''The guards going.'' I answered simply.
''The guards leave! Why?'' She said astounded by the news.
''Once they go the cages open automatically, and we are locked in.'' I replied.
''What cages?'' kaima asked.
''The cages that have the Ghoul Hounds in.'' I said shrugging my shoulders.

I walked over to the bars and watched the last guard press a special stone in the wall. The locks on the bars closed automatically, and a flash ran all the way round the edge of the bars.

''Thats the shield.'' I continued to look out as suddenly the Prison was plunged into complete and utter darknessI heard a slam as the guard closed and left. And then a clang and a growl sounded emitted from below in the main area. The stairs suddenly retracted so nothing could get up. Severeal silver creatures were moving swiftly in the main area. I walked over to the cupboard even though it was pitch black, my Infravision gave me the ability to see in the Dark. I took out a candle and lit it. Around all the floors, except for the main area, lights of candles flared up. I placed the candle on the desk. I took out the elven games again.

''Want to play? There are many hours left in this prison.'' I walked over to another table and placed the games down.

''How in this place is anybody suppsoed to sleep with those Hidden monsters roming about down there!''

''You get used to it.'' I said as I shuffled some cards.

Ms. Undomial

12-12-2002, 01:39 PM

He shuffled some cards and I said: "No thanks. Would you like to play MY game?"

"Whats the object?" he asked.

"You drink this, and then the first person to stab the other person in the heart wins. you won't get hurt if you drink this. Do you want to play?"

zavron

12-12-2002, 01:47 PM

''Ay!! that's confusing! The cells only small. Hello, hello! Gluglug called a meeting.''

A small Flag was waving from another rather larger cell up on the level above.

''We can play the game when we get back. Let's go!'' I got up and headed towards the bars.

''How?'' asked kaima.
''Use whatever natural ablity you got.'' I went Invisible and phased through the bars and magic shield. Around were all the other criminals using what abilities they had to get out of their cells.

''Come on then!'' I shouted through the bars.

Silverstripe

12-12-2002, 01:48 PM

ooc: LOL. This is somewhat amusing, watching the two of you go back and forth! May I join? I would really like to be a dragon, but if that doesn't work, I do have a second choice...:)

zavron

12-12-2002, 01:49 PM

ooc: are we the only ones in this thread? or are other people gonna join?

zavron

12-12-2002, 01:50 PM

ooc: Yeah!!! Another one!!! yes you can join!!

Silverstripe

12-12-2002, 01:51 PM

ooc: Is it okay to be a dragon? LOL.

Ms. Undomial

12-12-2002, 01:53 PM

ooc: LOL Silverstripe! :D I am sure it is ok to be a dragon; ask Zavron.

zavron

12-12-2002, 01:58 PM

ooc: The dragon shouldn't be too big though.

Silverstripe

12-12-2002, 02:07 PM

ooc: LOL. Okay, I'll be a young dragon!:D

Name: Marev
Race: Dragon
Appearance: Dark green, with pure black eyes.
Weapon: really only needs claws and fangs
Reason in Prison: Burned down a couple of houses and some trees in a village. Claims it was an "accident" that occurred while practicing fire-breathing.

Ms. Undomial

12-12-2002, 03:02 PM

I got out of the cell and I started to follow Zavron, when I saw a young dragon in a cell not too far from me. I went to her and I said: "Hello, I am Kaima, who are you?" I normaly do not talk to people, but I have a soft spot for Dragons.

Silverstripe

12-12-2002, 03:05 PM

I roared softly; it was a friendly roar. This Drow was the first to speak to me with neither fear nor contempt in her voice.

"I am Marev."

Ms. Undomial

12-12-2002, 03:13 PM

"Why are you here? Where did you come from?"

Silverstripe

12-12-2002, 03:22 PM

"Where I am from, I cannot say exactly, but it was a beautiful place, with high mountains. I am here because...I got carried away breathing fire. I didn't have enough control over what I was doing, I had no one to teach me control. I burned down two houses and most of a forest."

Had I been able to, I would have cried. As it was, my eyes simply changed color to a deep gold, as they do with any strong emotion, be it sorrow, anger, fear, or joy.

Ms. Undomial

12-12-2002, 03:37 PM

"Sounds something like Rohan. I am here because I killed a elf that insulted me. I am from Mirkwood. How long have you been here?"

Silverstripe

12-12-2002, 03:49 PM

"I just arrived. And you?"

So the Drow was a murderer, like many of the prisoners here. I had never killed, except in hunting, and even then, I only killed beasts.

I snorted, an action that would have produced smoke, had I still been able to breath fire. But...they had taken that away from me when they locked me up here. And I know they weren't planning to let me out. Ever. They hate dragons, all of them, and the few that don't hate us are thieves and murderers!

Ms. Undomial

12-12-2002, 05:07 PM

"I also just arrived. Perhaps I should tell you a bit about my self. I was found in Mirkwood by a elf when I was a child. The Elf took me in and took care of me until I was "of age", I then left the realm of the Mirkwood elves and I wandered Middle Earth. While on my travels I learned to be skilled with the dagger, the Sword, and magic. I came back to Mirkwood to find that my foster parent had died. From there I went to the king and I told him about my self and my 'parent'. The King had known that I was in Mirkwood, and he felt pity for me, so he gave me a place to live. I stayed there, in the service of the King, until one day I was dining like I always did, but someone else was there. He insulted me and called me tons of names. I let him do so for a little while, but I soon lost my temper. I challenged him to a duel, and I killed him. After that I was not welcome anywhere, so I took to roaming the large forest of mirkwood. I was eventually caught and brought here. Here my story ends."

Silverstripe

12-12-2002, 10:45 PM

Ah, a duel, that's different. In some places duels are accepted, even expected when honor is challenged.

"I see you have spoken with dragons before," I said. "I, too, am skilled at magic...my own form of magic, of course," I said. Dragon magic is entirely different from any other type.

Ms. Undomial

12-12-2002, 11:26 PM

"Yes, I have spoken with Dragons, I met a lot of them on my travels. What is your History?"

Silverstripe

12-12-2002, 11:39 PM

"I was orphaned when very young, and ever since then I have traveled through Middle Earth, sometimes with companions, most often alone," I said, attempting to make a long story short.

Ms. Undomial

12-12-2002, 11:50 PM

ooc: I would write, but I have writers block...... I'll be back in 30 minutes; then I might be able to reply..... :rolleyes:

Silverstripe

12-13-2002, 02:07 AM

ooc: Okay, hope your writer's block goes away soon!:)

zavron

12-13-2002, 03:51 AM

I slipped over to the bars of the dragon cage and became visible.

''Please to meet ya!! It's been awhile since I met a Dragon! now...lets see how to get you outta this cage!'' I looked up and down the bars it was made out of Mithril so nothing could break out. I brought out a toothpick and crammed it into the corner and hit it with a strong force and the door swung easily open.

''Trick bars you see! Right come on, we need to see Gluglug.'' At that I turned and jumped up a cmplete level and crawled along the wall.
''Oh, the stairs are over there.'' I said pointing to some stairs that led to the upper levels.

Silverstripe

12-13-2002, 01:07 PM

I smiled, showing all my teeth.

"Thank you. What is your name?"

ooc: Dragon smiles are not so reassuring!:D

zavron

12-13-2002, 01:40 PM

''I am zavron, Now hurry up!! This meeting won't last all night!!'' I jumped clear into the air right over The main area and onto another level above. I waited at the entrance to the cell leaning against the wall. Kaima and the dragon came up from the stairs.

''There here! You can start the meeting!!'' I shouted into the cell.

In the middle of the room was a huge Troll. Dressed in thick leather armor, and with a dull look around it.

''Right...I'd like to...err...start...yes thats the word...start this...err...meeting'' He said with an extremely Dull look around it.

''Errr...mi Brains hurting now so zavron...will...err...take over.''

Silverstripe

12-13-2002, 01:44 PM

I snorted, but softly, for however stupid the troll was, he still wasn't one I wanted to annoy.

Then I waited for this Zavron to speak.

zavron

12-13-2002, 02:26 PM

Poor gluglug he was the only vegetarian troll that ever exsisted.

''Thankyou Gluglug. Now we have two new people in the prison today. One is Kaima here and she is a drow. Also we have aDragon amongst us too. I'd like you all to give a Warm-welcome to our society.''

Everybody clapped and laughed and shouted a nice good warm-welcome.

''And also I am sad to say that tomorrow, Our beloved Gluglug will be leaving us to go to the outside world. He has done his punishment and will be going. Although He'll probably be back, in another two-weeks, But that doesn't mean we can't celebrate and Give him a good send-off!!''

Cheers and sniffles of sadness swept through the crowd as everybody got up to say probably their last goodbyes to Gluglug.

''It's time to celebrate!!!!'' I pulled out several bottles of Beer and Ales and food from nowhere and spread them around. I'd got all the food of the Guards. They probably wouldn't have agreed at all if they knew about it.

Silverstripe

12-13-2002, 02:40 PM

My eyes turned deep gold again, this time in mirth. Well, that was certainly not what I'd expected in this famous Mirkwood prison!

I was surprised at how much everyone seemed to like this Troll. So, it would not be quite as bad as I though, which was a very good thing. I'd probably never get out of here.

zavron

12-13-2002, 03:27 PM

Kaima walked over.

''What did Gluglug do to get in here in the first place?'' She asked.
''He was didn't do anything, they locked him up in here just because he's a troll. I tell ya Gluglug wouldn't hurt a fly. He's innocent of anything. The only crime he's commited id being kind to all people!''

Silverstripe

12-13-2002, 03:34 PM

I overheard the conversation between Zavron and Kaima and walked over to them.

"Sounds a bit like me, though I did commit a crime. I was trying to breath fire. No one ever taught me how to control the flame, so...I-I got carried away." I explained how I'd burned down the houses and part of a forest.

"I was caught." Not that I had tried to avoid capture; I'd been horrified by what had happened.

"The elves took my Flame, but it wasn't enough for them. Perhaps I deserved imprisonment ... for a time. But thieves, traitors, even murderers, most get out of here eventually. Though some may die first. From all I've heard, I'm going to be in here forever."

zavron

12-13-2002, 03:37 PM

''Codswallop!!! No-one's ever died here before never and all prisoners get released at some time. You'll probably be in here for about...501...Give or take!''

Silverstripe

12-13-2002, 03:46 PM

"I'm a dragon. It's like with the Troll. They'll be looking for some excuse to put me back in prison, you know. But I won't worry about that now. Who are the others?"

It was entirely possible I would die here. I had no friends, no family...my freedom and independence had been everything to me, and only my strong will to survive kept me alive now.

zavron

12-14-2002, 05:55 AM

''It all depends on what race you are. If you're a man you'd spend at least 40 years. If you were a dragon you'd spend at least 501 years because dragons live longer. Drows will be here for about a thousand years because were Immortal.''

Silverstripe

12-14-2002, 03:51 PM

I snorted. "Have you ever had a full-grown dragon here before? I mean one of my race?"

The Drow looked confused. "You are a dragon!"

"Ah, yes, but there are different types of dragons. I will be one of the largest when I'm full-grown," I said sadly. My size fooled most into thinking I was older than I am, which is not a good thing.

zavron

12-15-2002, 05:07 AM

''You'll still be here for about 501 years. It's just that all Dragons live extremely long in every case. I do know a lot of Dragons part of the reason I'm here.''

Silverstripe

12-15-2002, 04:35 PM

"Ah?" I said, interested, "You've known many dragons?"

zavron

12-16-2002, 03:59 PM

''Yep! even Glaurung 'imself.'' I walked of in seaarch of somewere in the party comfortable to sleep on.

zavron

12-20-2002, 06:49 AM

Hello?

Silverstripe

12-20-2002, 12:14 PM

Then Zavron walked away.

"Oh. I haven't known any others," I said to no one in particular.

zavron

12-21-2002, 05:41 AM

The party stopped about Mid-Night. Everyone went back to their cells and slept. I waited until kaima was asleep, then Iclimbed out of bed and slipped out of the cell. I sprang down into the main area without making any noise. The phantom dogs came over, I stroked it and gave it a piece of meat. I phased through the main gate, where two great giants slept supposedly guarding the gate, and walked into the forest.

ooc: Kaima and (or) the dragon can follow.
