LOTR RP Game part 1- Journey to Fornost

Whoa, back up here, guys!

Palanfirith, you are neither a Jedi nor an Elf Lord, and you have no way of 'sensing' what is out there.

Mah has seen it ALONE.

well.....the crow,I've seen it(sry bout the Sauron stuff.I thought if I come from Elrond house I know bout it.my mistake).And I can see movement nerby..I am an elf...

Elves do not have a built-in radar of any sort.

Aranui, you draw closer to the wall, and look at the distant shadows... short, squat, with the odd mutterd snarl...

Orcs!

Anglomir wanders up to where Aranui is, not knowing that Orcs have been spotted.

"That Grum is a good man. He told me tons about my sword...say, what's wrong Aranui?" Anglomir begins to say, but notices the look on Aranui's face.

Talin sits in the blacksmith shop, sharpening his axe and sword near Grum. "You Cardolans are in quite a tight spot. I feel pity that your society is cornered and alone," the Dwarf says to Grum as he checks the sharpness of his axe.

Vardalain is slowly starting to awake, soon before checking with the rest of the party for any missed night events.

Palanfirith stays near Aranui and wonders why is he so quiet and focused

(Sorry, Dexx, you are still out like a light, and Palanfirith is still inside)

"Cardolan has been finished for three centuries now," says Grum to you, Talin. "Make no mistake, the Witch King's invasion DID destroy this land. It's just taken us this long to finish falling apart. We are alone, without aid and without hope, whilst Arthedain stays safe behind it's walls and helps us not."

Anglomir, you now see what Aranui does. A dozen orcs- maybe goblins- at least, comig in from the treeline. They wield javelins.

Aranui, without making heavy noises, run quickly back to the camp. He runs over to where Kumar is located and alerts him about the presence of orcs.

Before you are even halfway there, the attack has started. As those who spotted the orcs did not cry the alarm, the guards at the front are taken by surprise and killed with javelins at once.

Soon, the cry goes up all over the camp.

"ORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCCCCSSSSSSSS!"

(so I assume everyone's got the message now?)
Aranui takes his bow and shoot at the orcs in the distance, then draws the sword and runs toward an orc nearby.

(does that commotion awake me?)

Palanfirith get's out and sees the orcs at the front gate.He starts shooting arrows.He's ready for a hand-to-hand combat if any orcs dear to come near.But he tries to move to a higher place at his advantage....

I awake after I hear the scream, I run outside and shout:"stay together do not try to fight the orcs alone, they have more strength than any of us, certainly now in the dark!!, when we fight organised we should be able to win this one, I suggest everyone who has a good shot to stay behind and provide cover, those who can only attack hand to hand, hold a line to protect the others"

I wait for some ppl to help and make a line then I say:"we should start to move forward"

I'll be in the back(not that I'm a chicken🙂 but I'm good with the bow),so I'll cover you shouts Palanfirith after he hears what Zeratul said.

IF he's not asleep, vardalain quickly takes his bow and joins his comrades outside. his sword is at him, though he's not planning to reach hand to hand combat. He aims and shoots at the closest enemies.

Mah- the Orcs are outside the fortifcations. I'll need it confirmed f you are going to try to get by them and out to fight the orcs out there. Hard to tell if your shot hit or not...

Palanfirth- higher place... on top of a building? The gate? The wall? Other than that this camp was build on flat ground.

Dexx- still out like a light until someone takes great pain to wake you.

Some people around the camp are grabbing orcs. Some javelins land in the inerior and there is a great THUMPING at the makeshift gate.

(so they are still outside,thought they passed the gate)
on the wall.He settles on a part of the wall,near the gate.He settles down(as in crouch) and prepares his arrows.He's ready for the battle.He shouts:
I'll watch your back.Just keep those orcs at distance so my arrows will crack their heads!Let's crack some ORCS!!!!!! trys Palanfirith to keep the spirit up and give confidence to the party.He starts shooting...

Err... you sure you are a Noldor?

You can see the enemy better at this range- but they will be able to hit you too. But MORE javilineers are approaching the rear of the camp, Palanfirith. And you can see more troops approaching. This does not seem to be any mere raiding party!

(do they have any ladders,or siege tools?and an aprox number of orcs,as I'm on the wall and I can see outside..)
