LotR roleplay: sometime in the first age

Turin

Turin awoke and wiped his eyes of their blurriness in time to see a heroic Roland battling four wolves! He was apparently a killing machine, until he got bit, in which case more wolves moved in on the seemingly injured prey. Turin grabbed at his dark sword and unsheathed it. He was wearing only his trousers when he came running to Roland's side to defend his wounded partner. As the wolves sang their song of battle, so did Turin yell his own oaths to strike equal fear into the hearts of his enemies. He had battled many uglier things than these mere dogs before...and his courage was with him. As a wolf dared to come near, Turin must of surprised it as he decided to run at it, full-charge ahead, sword swinging and yelling his battle cry. The wolf hesitated, trying to make sense of this maniac, but then it was too late to dodge, as Turin's sword was already coming in on a deadly arc to sever its head. The wolf dropped, headless. Turin found his footing again, and assumed a stance of fierce defence. He looked for another wolf to kill. He checked out Roland, who seemed to still be holding his own. Meanwhile, it appeared that Robyn was trying to gather up her bow and arrows. When she came to the ready, then the wolves would really pay for disturbing his dreams.

Therlion was a bit supprised by the proposition, and gave it a thought "I do not know what to say. Ofcourse, I would gladly take your offer, lord." He hoped the daughter would be of her brother's mind and oppinion.

[The Fallen One]

Terias thought that the best way out might be a small distraction. He thought it might be good to set something on fire...not a big fire..just enough smoke to distract the guards. He asked "Maybe all we need is a slight distraction..so we can get out without much trouble.." Terias looked around for something to make a small fire out of...

OOC: I would again like to ask everyone not to use signatures in the thread. It just makes everyone have to scroll down more.


For Therlion:

Lord Easthome was pleased by the reply. "Very well then. In exchange I offer you better quarters. Of course still under strict guard." He motioned to one of his guards, whispered a few words to him and then after telling Therlion that they would see each other in the morning he left. The guard along with several of his companions took Therlion to a house on the edge of the town, where he got a fully furnished room to himself, while guards occupied the rest of the building.

The next morning he was woken up in the early hours of the morning and taken to see Lord Easthome. The Lord was inspecting training of some of his troops. "Are you ready for the task at hand? My daughter said that she would be delighted to have an elven tutor. She shall see you in her quarters."

Andrion was taken to the same building where last night the feast had been held, but to another part of the building. He was taken to a room, which was furnished in a way which only women could do. The room was empty for the moment. Two guards stayed in the room with him. About ten minutes later the door opened and a beautiful looking woman entered. She looked only a bit younger than her brother.

"I am called Harmeth. And you must be Therlion. My father spoke to me about you this morning." She then turned to the two guards and told them to leave. At their protests about it not being safe she told them that there would be no problems. The guards left reluctantly. After the door closed behind them Harmeth indicated a chair for Therlion to sit in. My father wants you to teach me, doesn't he? But first: I have heard that you met my brother a few days ago. What did you think of him?

OOC: Therlion is impressed by the woman's beauty and is being seduced by it, so roleplay accordingly.

Robyn's post and update for Turin's group:

Robyn Stratsworth

Robyn woke with a start. She sprang up in time to see Turin carving the head off a wolf. She reached for her bow. Deftly fitting an arrow to it she aimed for a moment and then shot. She hit one of the wolves advancing on Roland, but did not kill it. The enraged wolf changed its target and in a few leaps reached Turin. The wolf in a surprise move leapt up at Turin knocking him to the ground. In the meantime Robyn was trying to fit another arrow to her bow. Her trembling hands delayed her and so her next shot at the other wolf advancing on Roland only hit the wolf when it had already lept at Roland. The arrow pierced the beasts heart, but it still hit Roland in the chest with all its weight. The last wolf which was still unwounded turned and fled with several high pitche yelps.

OOC: Roland and Turin have been knocked to the ground. Roland has the weight of a dead wolf on him, while Turin has to still battle a fierce, but wounded wolf.

For Terias:

Looking around in the small chamber Terias can see a few barrels and some straw sticking out of some of them, but nothing else which is flammable.

Turin

Turin had lost his sword upon falling to the ground with the wolf atop him, an arrow protruding from its torso. Turin grabbed the wolf by the head with both hands and jerked at it frantically, trying to get it to worry more about the pain of it's own neck, rather than taking a bite out of his. Muscles bulging, fighting this creature to gain his grounding again, he suddenly occured to him what he might do to hurt the wolf even more. He looked at where the arrow was embedd in the wolf's hide and rolled both of them over in order to let the ground force the arrow into the flesh moreso than it already was.

For Turin:

The wolf yelped out in pain as the arrow pierced even deeper, touching vital organs. It tried snapping with its yaws at Turin, but only managed to tear off one of the legs of Turin's trousers. It started thrashing wildly in Turin's grasp as it felt death getting closer and closer. Suddenly through its mouth a great lot of blood came out and spilled over Turin, and then the beast was dead.

[The Fallen One]

Realizing that the barrel of straw might be the best course of action, he says "The fastest and most effective course of action would be to make a small distraction. Namely, the barrel of straws is our best chance. I shall start a fire there, and then we can escape when there is chaos erupted in these chambers." He starts to cast a spell on the barrel silently to make a small fire.

[Bozos of Bones]

Taking a breath, snapping out of daze, Therlion answered "I only saw him for a short time, and I was a prisoner, forced not to look up. I overheard the conversation the human that captured me had with your brother." Therlion tried to reassure himself that he was the one who is supposed to have the reigns of the conversation, but the beautiful thing infront of him made it hard "He sounds reasoned enough, he showed us.. the group where to take me."

OOC: enawed enough? [img]smile.gif[/img]
