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

"Quite an impressive sword, Lord Gorlim!" Talin says. "We should have thought to bring the two blades that we got from the Wights we struck down."

"They broke," says Gorlim.

"How? Such strong weapons do not break so easily!" Talin says. "Especially with those mithril edges!"

"I didn't really stop to check but they DID break," he says.

Argentis can confirm that- he saw one.

They were noblemen's swords rather than a top Lord's onme- they weren't mithril. They were just good.

Aniica sighed. She saw men that were ailing. It pained her to know that she couldn't help them. She sat by a window and stared off into the distance. Ever since she freed Amon, she felt lonely.

OR..someone poisoned them somehow.
Couldn't i ask some men to look at the herbs i have and go gather more..so i can cure more?

"Bring me the herbs. My father taught me a useful trick. I am not as able as he is, but with my fellow Elves help, we can do this."

She looked around at the other Elves.

"Are any of you plant Animagists((sp?))? It would make the process far simpler."

Vardalain (Dexx) is the Animist/herbs guy, Aiwendil. But none of THESE guys are- common men do not produce people of power, or at least it is very rare.

You certainly could gather some more, Vardalain. Baronar will send some healthy men out to get what you need. BTW, there is a locked tower at the top of the fort that the guards outside will not let you in to see. As for your test case, right now you are waiting to see how quickly he gets better. He is breathing more easily now.

"Maybe the orcs were sent after the weapons?"

while waiting to see how the test case reacts, Vardalain names some of the herbs he needs to the volunteers to gather them..

"But the weapons beling to the Wights," says Baronar. "The Orcs won;t get them."

After the meal, all of you have the freedom of the fortress, except for that locked tower the guard won't let Vardalain into.

The men are herb gathering now, Vardalain.

It is another cold evening. Gorlim is worried that you won't be able to get any agreement signed in these circumstances.

hmm, do we have quarters?

They could find you somewhere but all the normal rooms are being used for the sick.

Stables should suffice

How about half-dollars and pennies? 😛

"Have faith, Lord Gorlim. I'm sure we can help make these men better so some extent. It would be good if we knew where it came from though."

"Not been the most fortunate of journeys, has it?" says Gorlim. "Still, at least the Lord himself is ok. That could have been a disaster!"

Yeah, you can use the stables, Argentis!

"Indeed, if we had a diseased Lord on our hands, King Arvedui's plans would be absolutely abolished."

"True"

"Certainly. I still want to know what caused this..."

"These things just happen sometimes," says Gorlim. "Still... maybe we should take Baronar elsewhere... just in case."
