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

"Indeed.we need to be fast and stelth as those Dunlending riders never find us.passing a forrest might just be a good ideea for that crebain..." says Palanfirith.

Good plan. There are small woods all around, and you can cut through them, going on the Cardolan side of the road.

You make good progress as time passes, though you do spot the occasional exctra Crebain, and soon yo will be at the Last Bridge...

well..going well so far. *waits for the imminent situation turn*

((where am I?))

((at Baronar's castle I think))

((I...need...to...sleep...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...))

Anglomir gallops closer to the horses, and throws a dirk at the nearest one before dismounting and drawing his sword.

Ok, Anglomir, you have about a dozen Orcs to deal with! You;ll need to grab the initiative, fast! I'll need your own move, and orders for the men with you!

I MUST get Sylvannas in this game! I'll do it tomorow, Sylv- absolute promise!

Vardalain, you are learning...

There is, indeed, a problem. Because the Last Bridge has been taken.

You get there as night falls- and it is crowded by at least forty Dunlendings, on guard.

Palanfirirth, Vardalain, this is NOT good. Elrond cannot even keep the Last Bridge free any more?

maybe Elrond doesn't even know about this conquest thinks VArdalain, but he doubts it.
"we must take another route" he says to his comrades

William fires another arrow at the scout.

and that would be, crossing the river somehow?

yeah, basicly

William, you fire an arrow into the night at the retreating scout. You may have hit, you are not sure.

The rest of them will be upon you soon!

Vardalain and co- as if to compound the problem- there is a low grunting sound.

And then, to your horror, a big thing climbs out from under the bridge, knocking a Dunlending down into the water as it does so. The others, quicker off the mark, make room for it.

TROLL!

And it has caught your scent.

our scent?? eek.
Couldn't they have just killed eachother? 😛

Nope- it's their pet...

hmm....then we need to do something about that smell of ours to get time to make plans.(told ya guys no garlic for today! ) .Ush,describe the zone a bit,need some options or something like that...

It's a bridge in the countryside over a wide, fast river.

However, I don't think a fight is on the cards. A troll can do many things but it cannot outrun a horse- and you guys aren't going to go looking for trouble! I hope.

"I suggest we leave this place at once, and look for another way across"

yeha

Well, Anglomir threw the dirk at the nearest Orc as he dismounted, and then he charges at the Orc (if I didn't kill it) and bashes it over with his shield, finishing it off by thrusting his sword downwards into it's chest.

I want the swordsmen to dismount and quickly kill the nearest Orcs. I want the archers to start firing from horseback after backing away to William's position.
