LOTR RP Game part 1- Journey to Fornost

WARNING! Finuvien (Narcil) is female! I recently learnt this to my surprise, so I thought I should inform you guys!

The opening days pass uneventfully. No large armies of trolls eat you at night. You spend this time getting to know each other, in a kind of cultural exchange. Or at least, discovery of cultural ignorance. No-one can understand why the Hobbits walk barefoot and sing; why the elves leave no impression on the ground and don't sleep but go into unbreakable snoozes eveery three days; why the humans are so grim anbd moody and why the Dwarf eats food you could probably bash people to death with.

This time brings you to the Last Bridge, on the Hoarwell, that you camp out nearby. Again, it seems that nothing will happen that night.

Except... there is ONE thing. Whilst on watch, Palanfirth, you see a crow land on the bridge ahead. You feel a cold chill go through you as you look at it, and it appears to be eyeing you back. Odd to see birds flying at night... but it flutters off soon after.

something it's not rightthinks Palanfirith.I should worn the othersHe get's off the tree where he was watching and hurrys to the others(not makewing any noise of course).He goes to Anglomir Anglomir,wake up,something is going on.Something strange happened while I was wathing the bridge.I think troops are moving towards us.
Then quietly goes at vardalain as he doesn't wan't to create any panic among the hobbits and tells him what he saw.
I think we should be careful.Anglomir,come with me to find out what is going on.vardalain,stay here and prepare the others.
(waiting for ush post to see what is it)

(??looki everyone...i found....i found a crow!..it was so big and black....prepare for war! 😂 🙂..j/k)

vardalain minds palanfirith's words in his own measurement. He doesn't underestimate any possible situation but he's not too keen in overreacting.

Well, your keen Elf eyes, even at night, can see it fluttering away... it's a crow... a big, black, crow...

might it be a scout? he thinks.

Crows are certainly a bad omen- and you know what they say about the Witch-King- he has spies everywhere, birds, beasts...

You are in Rhudaur, a fallen land. Anything is suspicious.

it could be a patrol looking over this bridge..we have to find out. he thinks.
(now I have to wait for BB post or u're post ush,for more details ?)

There's nothing coming, It's a still night

(Bascially, you wait for me for events, but you can converse and think and prepare all you like)

Vardalain realises their ut of imladris's protected area, who knows what's lurking in the suroundings. They'd best be prepared

when I awake, I never sleep hard in company of others and I have had a good nights rest the day before, I walk over to palanfirith and ask him:"What is the matter master elf? you look troubled

Something is going on.Something strange happened while I was wathing the bridge.I saw a crow moving,strange for this time of the night.I think troops are moving towards us,or at least a patrol.something is not right...we should be prepared.awake the hobbits,because they are moody after sleeping and get them readysaid Palanfirith

"hmm I trust your judgement in this ranger, I just pray for your sake I will not have woken them for no reason" 😉

I go and slowly wake up the hobbits

vardalain is skeptical and belives this an overreacted situation. we'll encounter many crows in our journey he thinks. he's prepared but slighly more relaxed then the others.

besides..the hobbits might just start...singing again

"Maybe you are right Master elf but still, dare we take the risk of being ambushed many of us are not hardened warriors, so there is no risk in being unprepared I think it might be better to take a double watch for every night when we sleep in places as insecure as this, there should be safer places to sleep"

Wait! One of the Hobbits has gone! The crow must have eaten him!

Oh wait, no, there it is... just too short for you Elves to see easily...

Well, there seems to be no more trouble coming for now.

(why do i find keeping the game serious so hard when i have hobbits round me..i just feel like posting a sarcastic or funny remark. ok, i'll behave. i wanted to say i was hoping for the crow to have let us some of that hobbit meat, bet it's tasty...u see?...i'm even mocking my own characters character. damn..i'll stop now 🙂)

"I say we let them sleep for now, and also let everyone who wants to sleep or rest, those who do not trust the situation can keep guard, like me"

I sit down and start doing relaxation exercices

vardalain retreats in his night meditation. He'll save the trouble thinking for farther in the trip.

Personally, I think the High Elves SHOULD find the Hobbits comical. Not that Elves really understand barbed sarcasm but your thoughts are a good human translation of what they WOULD feel.

Palanfirith also remains on guard,just to be sure that nothing happens to those little and strange hobbits 🙂.He is happy that at least one shares his concern,Zeratul.
