USH'S LORD OF THE RINGS GAME PART 3- The Tournament and the Traitor

I don't think Ellothiel can do much of anything to help Talin, but she'll help heal the other two if they need it.

"Aye, I can tell you that your mace will be needed when it comes time," Anglomir says. "At Minas Tirith I served in the guard that watched the borders of Mordor for a time. Not much happens there, but the Orcs need a good reminder that their time is past, every now and then."

At the risk of sounding like an Anorak, I think it's still called Minas Anor at the moment... 😮

"And that is without even mentioning the Wainriders.."

"Yes," Talin groans as the squire tends to his leg. "If not better."

Indeed, by Minas Tirith you mean Minas Anor, Anglomir- the Tower of the Sun. But if you were keeping watch on Mordor, you were more likely in its eastern twin, Minas Ithiil (Tower of the Moon), which guards the pass into Mordor itself.

"Mordor is naught but shadows and legends now," says Simon. "It is from Angmar and the mountains that Orcs come forth now."

"Well, I'd think so," says the Squire, Talin. "Less there to heal, yeah?"

-

Now, at this point, how are people ion the tratior plot? I was kind of intending other people to have been carrying on with thinky stuff whilst you were fighting, but apparently it was not to be...

Minas Ithiil becomes Minas Morgul, doesn't it? Much, much later?

And I believe there was something about the Prince having shady dealings with ladies of the night...

Indeed it does and indeed there was!

Talin gives the boy an offputting look before agreeing. "Yes, I suppose there is less to heal..." he says grudgingly.

Well remembered Anglomir!

I'm thinking perhaps we need to do some...ahem... "research"...with these ladies of the night (once our strength is back up of course).

Did we find out where these ladies were?

As of yet, no.

Well I don't think I was in on that when we found out that tasty titbit.
Who was? Could they do some poking around?

Well let's put it this way- the boat on that has kinda been missed. What I was trying to show when you saw Elendur buring that piece of paper was... he was covering yup all traces that he and his friends go out whoring. Which he will have finished doing by now.

So if anyone wants in on that business you will have to be more direct about finding it!

Ok, everyone, back to work for working out the storyline! Go go go go go! Forget about all the army captain business- it's a shame but the thread has been lost; it means that thread will end the worst possible away but nvm. Let's just wrap up this treachery nonsense!

Well, I was always tending towards Annuneryn.

What've we got on him?

Unless the Prince has been out killing slatterns, he cannot have eliminated every trace of evidence. Someone, somewhere, would be able to tell us what is going on there.

My notes on Annuneryn from People of Interest thread....

- Young, and arrogant
- Thinks the current situation is more hysteria than actual threat
- Thinks very lowly of Farael as he doesn't have pure Dunedain blood
- BIG skeleton in his closet in regard to his father - Gorlim winced when I mentioned it and got very defensive.

An interesting quote,
"As you yourself are well aware, of course, Dunadain are the leaders of Men. Farael's almost a commoner. My father would have none of it!" He shrugs and seems to think about something. "Maybe he should get one of them after all though... ahh, who knows?"

Perhaps some Kin-strife tendencies/opinons?

Also, his father was disgraced, this is how he got his title

How much of that is him and how much his father, is the question there.

We have a possible motive for Annuneryn but not much else as it stands.

And with no susepct yet have the means managed to be established.

Do we know why his father was disgraced or is everyone keeping that very hush-hush?

Well one of the more unsavory fighter guys could go and poke around where the ladies of the night stay. A noble elf wont be seen there.
We could also always go and ask people directly about Annuneryn. Might get us SOMETHING....

Menelacar will hang out in a few taverns, buying drinks for locals and looking for gossip on Annuneryn's father.

His father's disgrace is indeed rather hush-hush.

Palidan is probably right that going 'undercover' won't work well for an Elf.

Menelacar is going out drinking for the team! Any other takers?
