USH'S LOTR RP Game part 2- The Fortress of Baranar

(D'oh GO GET HIM GUYS)

oh F**K!!

hmm... I'll try and slash the normal orc again, using 20 to defend from his attacks and the shield against the black orc ( which is, I assume, targeting me now)

(We need more players!! ARRG!)

Archers Shoot at the Black Orc!!

😖

Corlindel arrives at the keep's door aims carefully and shots the black orc between his eyes "Die son of Udhun!!!" 😈 Hides and reloads

Ush: I left my two handed sword somewhere here in the keep. May I use it if necessary? 🤨

Hey!! Arthedain reinforcements are late 🤨

Late? They aren't due for a day! And that's early!

A 47 from Andromir ends his run of luck.

Corlindel rolls a 66, for a 99, for seven stamina loss. He barely notices the arrow skitters across his armour. A blow from the Black Orc fells Andromir, his last opponent.

The crossbowmen fire. The first one rolls a 97, for a 112 after cover, 13B on Corlindel

"Thigh strike; +3 hits. If no leg armour, 3 hits per round."

The other one misses.

-----

The Black Orc gives out a huge cry...

... and then the battle comes to a pause. Surrounding him and his retinue are twenty seven of Baranar's men, and Baranar himself. The rest of his second wave assault are fallen.

"Corlindel cries of paim and them laughs with anger" 😈

Ush: His retinue? You mean only the three orcs?

Thank the F*cking god!

Wee!!
Get the hell outta there Cordinel, grab someone and move!
I'm gonna go down and try to save someone.

Uh..oh....sooo...it's over then ? the battle ?

Yes I do, Corlindel.

The Black Orc whirls his flail menacing around his head, letting out another warcry of defiance as his crossbowmen re-load. The troops stand around him warily, as the Black Orc turns to look at his forces outside. Not enough to hold the fortress against counter-attack, and all the Dunlendings fled...

Looks like We held the fortress another day

Hahah... And Once Again The Good Guys Win The Day!!!!!!!!

Darvan stays unconcious on the floor, mentally celebrating.

So..Its over and Baranar dont needs me anymore 😉 Is it? Somebody want or need to be save? 😊

Well Corlindel hides the keep and drinks a pint to celebrate 🙂

The Black orc spits on the ground, and hauls up a corpse of one of Baranar's men. He then speaks, in a snarling but remarkably clear Westron.

"Let everyone in the Lands hear my words. All who follow the word of the false King... will meet this fate."

He hurls the corpse at Baranar, where it lands by his feet.

"Already your hopes burn. When word comes, all will see that the lead of the Usurper's line leads only to death."

And, apparently unconcerned by the situation as a whole, he turns and starts to make his way out of the gateway, his retinue covering him.

*YAY for winning....... but ermmmmmmmmm..... the orc got away*

With that, the fight at Baranar is indeed over- though there is not much left of the place to show for it, and the stench of some five hundred dead bodies in close proximity is soon going to be overwhelming- and there is no-one with strength enough to dig graves.

Just after dawn the next morning, a lone horseman shows on the horizon, riding frantically towards the Fortress, a huge warhammer strapped to his back.

"Looks like we have company"

Ush: Is there anything I can do for the others? And Is it possible to grab something from the dead ones? like legs and arms armor?

Corlindel who was on the front wall handling his long sword and shield - and with his precious two handed sword in the scabbard and his quiver full of arrows again - watches an horseman riding to the fortress: "Maybe a scout from Fornost" He thinks.
