The Captain of the Nazgul, the witchKing has come back, disembodied, he has a hidden fotress somewhere in middle earth, but no one knows where it is. all eight of th fellowship must reunite, along with Eowyn and faramir, who are in ithilien. They have to find the witck-king's fortress and destroy him.

ok, I hope this thing lasts, I will be, um, err, Legolas, yeah, ok! pleez join!

[Gulio, Strength of Many]

You have my axe Pippin! I am Gimli. Hopefully I don't hafta post a bio on him.

[Kalile]

I'll be Kalile! No bio on her either, and she was with Legolas and Gimli.
(In my head she does marry Legolas, but if you're uncomfy with the idea then you don't have to act like they're in love or anything.)

[Legoles]

Me: Legolas. duh!

[Kalile]

Um... Pip's already taken Legolas.

[Legoles]

Pooh! Cool ninja person elf then!

*Drinks tea, witing for nintey seconds to be up....*

[Gulio, Strength of Many]

Ah yes, the (in)famous 90-second rule.:rolleyes: Pip and I wrote some poetry on the subject, but on one thread it get waaaaaaaay off topic and the mods got mad;) *Evil grin*

POETRY TIME!!!!!:p

I was posting on the 'Moot one day
And then much to my dismay,
A little box popped up.
It said I must wait to post my stuff!
The back button I did press,
And found, to my distress;
All the stuff I wrote had been erased!
And boy, was I a nut case.
Yes, I understand why it's there,
But that won't get rid of the wear
It leaves on my chafed hands
To be typing things over and over agan. (Not a typo, poetic liscence:D )

[PippinTook]

haha! thats good gulio! sry kalile, not in a lovey dovey mood! but me and gulio are at helms deep, ruling the glittering caves, (is that ok gulio? I just read in the appendices in rotk.) kalile can be there too. kk?

[Eärloth]

Could I be Éowyn?, pleasepleasepleasepleasepleeeeeaaaaaase.

[PippinTook]

sure! and if push comes to shove, you can be faramir too! lol! sorry, but often we have to double on charactars, which isn't a problem for me, I'm always ready for another hobbit! anywho, so far we got,
legolas-me!
gimli-gulio
eowyn-earloth
kalile-kalile
ninja guy-legoles

we still need
frodo, sam, pippin, merry, gandalf, and aragorn. though we don't need a gandalf if no one wants him, cause he can just stay in the grey havens.

[Gulio, Strength of Many]

Hmm...Gimli, Lord of the Glittering Caves. I like it!:D

the worst is the 120 sec pm rule

[Gulio, Strength of Many]

lol no joke, I'd write a poem, but not really feeling creative at the moment.:D

[Kalile]

That's ok, me neither.

As I am currently waiting for 120 seconds to be up, I can be very creative with odes to the second rules. However, I don't think that I am allowed to post them. ;)

When to we start?

[PippinTook]

don't forget about me gulio! I'm ruling the caves with you! well, we still need, sam, pippin, merry, and aragorn. hey! me and gulio can be pip and merry, right gulio? tat ok? alright, well, you can guess which one i'm gonna be! alrighty! the others can have some reason for not going!

[PippinTook]

[zone]

[PippinTook]

I'm just tired :o don't mess with the tired hobbit!!! *twitch*

[zone]

But you are a elven warrior:p

curse the 90 second rule,
it's begining to not be cool.
as I sit here it makes me drool,
making a small little pool.

[Earniel]

Stay on topic. Keep the poems out of the RPG's unless they are related to it.

[Dreran the Green]

'Allo! Seeing as I'm under house arrest this weekend, I think I have time to join another rpg. I might start to disappear come the week though. May I be Gandalf?

[PippinTook]

sure! ok, we can start, for some reason aragorn and same can't come, ok, i'll start

Pippin walked up the street, nothing much going on in Crickhollow, his title as 'Thain' was getting less and less important as the years passed. Nothing exciting had happened in the Shire for five years, since the war ended. He was glad to be home, but he missed the adventure, the excitment, living on the edge of the knife. He stopped on the edge of the forest and sat on a rock, when suddenly...

ok, can't think, must unpack boxes, i hate moving! anywho, someone do somethig!

[Gulio, Strength of Many]

ooc: Ha ha! The return of Merry and Pippin! Huzzah!:p

ic: Merry, now the master of Buckland, strolled about the streets of his homeland. He had been growing apprehensive lately, and his wife, Estella, had noticed. "What you need is a break," She had said. "Let's go visit Peregrin, we haven't seen him in a while." Merry had thought this a wonderful idea, he had wanted to see his close friend for some time. So Merry and Estella set out for the Shire.

[PippinTook]

*grabs copy of rotk* Diamond! ok, sorry, just forgot who pip married. remember gulio, we have legolas and gimli too!

[Eärloth]

Éowyn sat before a grand oaken table in the house of Ithilien. Her eyes were blank and her posture stiff, her white face paler than was prevalent. Faramir gazed at her gravely and inquired of her trials.

“It is my arm,” she replied softly, coming out of her trance. “The injury was inflicted some years ago today: alas that so many grievances should be in remembrance upon the one day: my Lord Théoden’s death – the death of your father; the assaults upon Mirkwood, and Lórien; and even the hard-won victory over the Witch-King is even now mingled with pain,” she looked at Faramir and again said: “Alas! There are such wounds as cannot be healed.”

Faramir sat diagonally opposite his spouse. “And now this date has cause to grieve anew: tidings have come from Gondor: an evil spirit walks abroad, cloaked in shadow, a phantom shrouded in darkness and in whose wake all but the boldest are broken under fear,” he looked piercingly at Éowyn. “The Witch King has returned.”

Then Éowyn was silent, and sat long in deep and dark thought; until at last she looked upon her lord and smiled, and bid him make ready for their departure. “We defeated the Lord of the Nazgûl once before we shall defeat him again,” she declared.

“And what of you, Lady?” Faramir asked. “Have you forgotten your assertion in the year of the War of the Ring? ‘I shall be a healer, and love all things that are not barren…’ What is to become of that?”

Éowyn paused. “It is true my hands are now more accustomed to the skill of doctors – but they have not forgotten the dexterity of the warriors of Rohan. I may love all that is green and good but that does not diminish my hate for things that are cruel and malicious.”

Faramir smiled. “Very well then,” he said, and Éowyn disappeared into their chambers, emerging several minutes later in full armour and riding gear.

“Long has it been since last I arrayed myself in such apparel,” said Éowyn. “But even now I think I feel the coarseness of my hands that have been smoothed, and the fire of my heart that was quenched by the fire of your love is again kindled amid the heat of battle.”

[PippinTook]

Legolas stepped out of the forest and walked up to the gates of Helm's Deep. He stopped one of the men passing by, "Could you tell me where Master Gimli is?" He asked. "In the caves, Master Elf." The man replied. Legolas began to walk through the entrance of the caves when a blood curdling shriek reached his ears. "Ai!" He cried, for he was afraid of no living man, but this wa no living man, the Captain witch-king has returned.

[Legoles]

Niliana is a girl....


Niliana walked down the passage so she could get out of the caves. She heard an ear peicing screech that came from no living being. <A black rider?>

[Kalile]

Kalile wandered the beautiful caves, lost in thought for many an hour. She saw no other living being in the caves, though heard many, and it seemed that she walked in a world hidden from but connected with the one she knew. After a time she grew award of a cold seeping into her bones, and her head snapped up, her hand straying to her sword. Then she recognized the foul fear threatening to overtake her reason.
"Elbereth!" she breathed, then fled.

[Legoles]

Niliana ran away from the entrance and into a elven girl. "Oh dear. Sorry! We must get out of here! Come." She threw the girl on her back and jumped off with agility and speed. When they were in a safer part of the cave, she put the girl back on the floor. "Are you alright."

[PippinTook]

Pippin walked down the street, observing the scenery, kicking a pebble as he went when he saw Merry and Estella ahead. "Oi! Merry!" He called running up to his cousin, "Hullo, merry, hullo, Estella!" He said very happy to see his friends. "Anything new in Buckland?" he asked. "I am-" he began when he heard a groan coming from a nearby bush. He pulled back the branches only to find a man, badly wounded. "help me merry!" he said as they tried to pull the man from the brush. "He has returned." the man mumbled under his breath. "Who?" asked Pippin. "Naz...gul" the man's eyes rolled back, and he went limp. "Pippin was frozen, they searched the man, and found nothing but a gaping wound in his left soulder, his arm was deathly cold. The Captain witch-king has returned.

[Kalile]

"I'm fine," Kalile answered, standing up and pacing the area.
"I am not the one to face him. It has been told that he shall not die by Elven hand." There was no real need to ask who 'he' was.

[PippinTook]

yall, I found another rotk trailer, and this one is the best ever!! its on lordoftherings.net it has everything! go see it, NOW!!!

[Eärloth]

Éowyn and Faramir sped their hoses towards the Glittering Caves – before they returned again to Gondor, they would need to gather its allies. Legolas and Gimli – not to mention their own companions – could be found thereat. When at last they reached the mouths of the caves, they sighted two girls – one was pacing back and forth restlessly.

"Nor was it foretold that he should rise again," Éowyn called, approaching them slowly on her horse. "He did not die by Elven-hand – when he was alive – however now all is uncertain." She dismounted her horse and advanced towards them; stopping before them she bowed her head. "I am the Lady Éowyn of Rohan; it was I who before slayed the Witch-king; this is my Lord Faramir. If you be of stern pith, we shall accompany you on whatever intent you have to rid Middle-earth of the evil of the Lord of the Nazgûl – forevermore. Ere that commences, however, we shall need to know of your names."

[Legoles]

"I am Niliana, a world and time traveler. I am honored to meet you." she bowed from the waist, nearly touching the ground.

[PippinTook]

ooc: ahem, excuse me, my dear earloth, but i do believe that it was a hobbit, Meriadoc Brandybuck, to be exact who slayed the witch-king on pelenor fields. Eowyn slayed the fell beast,
The outstreched neck she clove asunder, and the hewn head fell like stone. Backward she sprang as the huge shape crashed to ruin, vast wings outspread, crumpled on the earth; and with its fall the shadow passed away. A light fell about her, and her hair shone in the sunrise. Out of the wreck rose the Black Rider, tall and threatening, towering above her. With a cry of hatred that stung the very ears like venom he let fall his malice. Her sheild was shivered in many peices, and her arm was broken; she stumbled to her knees. He bent over her like a cloud, and his eyes glittered; he raised his mace to kill. But suddenly he too stumbled forward with a cry of bitter pain, and his stroke went wide, driving into the ground. Merry's sword had stabbed him from behind, shearing through the black mantle, and passing up beneath the hauberk had pierced the sinew behind his mighty knee.
-taken from the battle of pelenor fields, rotk.
again, not to challenge your judgement, just to set things straight. :D

[PippinTook]

hey! i just thought of somethin! Thats means the one meant to kill the captain is a hobbit! yeah! go hobbits, go hobbits! woot! woot!

[Kalile]

Ooc: No he didn't; he can't reach that high.
But suddenly he too stumbled forward with a cry of bitter pain, and his stroke went wide, driving into the ground. Merry's sword had stabbed him from behind, shearing through the black mantle, and passing up beneath the hauberk had pierced the sinew behind his mighty knee.
to quote you and ROTK, he hamstrung the dude. Eowyn was the one who actually killed him;
then tottering, struggling up, with her last strenght she drove her sword between crown and mantle

Ic: Kalile smiled sadly. "Are times so evil that you have forgotten Kalile, who was your friend during the war of Rohan?"

[PippinTook]

ah, yes, thank you for clearing that up, sorry, guess I just felt my hobbit-power bubbling inside, R-E-S-P-E-C-T! that what hobbits need! we are not stupid, shy little country bumpkins! I AM A WARRIOR! grrrr. ok, just had to get that out. *sips tea* better now!

OOC: Meh; t'was a cohesive masterpiece, without one the other could not have carried out their part. When Merry comes, he shall be named the Witch-king slayer/2;)

IC: "I have not," replied Éowyn. "But remembrance of the being can not always certify the recognition of the face; you have changed so." She embraced Kalile.

[PippinTook]

ooc: thank you Earloth! You give hobbits the true respect we deserve! I believe that Gulio is merry in this one. (I'm pip) we'll get there soon enough!

ic: "We have to get out of the shire, merry." said Pippin. "He will be coming for you, and Eowyn." He stood, trying to compose himself. We have to get to Rohan, at least that far." said Pip. "Meet me at Buckland in an hour." he said, running for home. Once he arrived he burst into his house, looking for his family. Diamond sat in the parlour, holding baby Faramir. He told her about everything that had happened and explained that he had to go with Merry. "You and Estella will go and live with her brother, Fredegar Bolger." Pip said, gathering all his things. He took his wife and son to Fatty's house, and he went to Buckland.

[Legoles]

"This is a touching reunion, but I'm afraid that we may be trapped in here if we do not move soon. Come, I know my way here better than even Gimli.[Gimlet- Nat. Lampoons LOTR]"

[PippinTook]

Legolas saw the three woman standing outside the caves. "Niliana!" He called running up to them. Then suddenly he noticed Eowyn. "Lady Eowyn! I never expected to see you hear at Helm's Deep, it is an honor to look upon your face again!" He bowed to the ground. "Hello, Kalile!" He said, bowing again. "I suppose the same evil brings us all here." He said, his face becoming somber, and grey. "But come, into the caves, we must go see Master Gimli!" He said leading them into the glittering caves.

ooc: kalile, I might be feeling a little bit romantic, if you want to love me, (everybody does!) :rolleyes: anywho, nothing to mushy, but I LOVE YOU KALILE!! hee hee hee!

[Kalile]

Ooc: Ok. I'm amenable to whatever you decide.

Ic: "Too true," Kalile murmered to herself, then looked up when Legolas entered the caves.

"He is down there. I fear for Gimli."

[PippinTook]

ooc: what? why do you fear for gimli? I am confused, its late, 11:30 my time,and im tired. I'll b better tomorrow!

[Kalile]

Because both Gimli and the Witch King are down in the caves.

[PippinTook]

the witch-king is in the caves? okey, don't have time to post, must go, ttyl

[Eärloth]

Éowyn followed the company, but as they drew deeper into the caves the pain in her arm greatened and she often had to clutch Faramir’s wrist to steady herself.

“He is near,” she murmured. “The dread that rises in his wake is not yet laid on me, but he is close.”

[PippinTook]

return of the hobbits!

ic: Pippin and Merry arrived at Helm's deep. They tied thier ponies, "Where is everyone?" asked pip. Then he saw the group of people going into the caves. "Oi! Legolas! Wait for us!" They ran up to the elf. "Hullo! Legolas! It is good to see you again! Though the reasons we are here are not much better than last time we met!" he added, tring to lighten things up. Then he noticed the others, "Lord Faramir? What a pleasure! I had no idea you would be here! If my son could only be here to meet his namesake!" Pippin winked. "And the Lady Eowyn," he bowed. "And good old Kalile if my eyes don't decive me! But lets get a move on and find this dwarf of ours!" He smiled

[Kalile]

Ooc: ttyl? :confused: *moan* I feel so old and geeky!

[PippinTook]

ttyl means talk to you later, do you guys never use abbreviations like that? brb, lol, lmao, g2g, kk, its ok kalile, we're all geeks!

[PippinTook]

The group of peoples walked through the beautiful glittering caves. A little ways away, Gimli stood, admiring the caves. "Gimli!" called Legolas, "Vedui! I've brought some friends, but we have more serious matters to attend." he said.

[Legoles]

"Yes, Master Gimli. There is some news that you must hear."
