Eruheran, look up the page and look at your planning post. There is a rough idea of what you should post next. Thanks!

Oh, and to anyone in this thread, here's what ten thousand looks like (in dots, couldn't find people).

Ummm... Eruheran? That post was good, but can you edit 'a few hundred trolls' to 'around twenty''? Only we'd have absolutely no chance in the final battle against that kind of power. Thanks!

Sooooooo.... What Happens Now? And Where has the Dwarf been the last few weeks? When he Returns he needs to also post in my thread aswell. (He Started a Conversation with me then vanished )

Cool.

'You Bird, Not Dragon Food! Be Careful Stupid Bird!'

Popped into my head as soon as you said that.

Fornac, before I do my post about the Pidgeon, can I do Wazt meeting 'Big Goblin Boss' dude. (He was on the Guards List of 'Major Uruk Captains', so he needed to meet up with the boss about his role in the invasion.)

Also, is the Black Dragon Neutral, One of the Bosses personal weapons* or the actual Boss. If he is the Boss, I have messed up.

*= I mean Like Sauron was for Morgoth, or The Witch-King to Sauron,

I'm good with my part. Will post tomorrow morning. It's 1.05 am here

No! What I said a few posts back (the large post). Since the captains are all controlled by the black dragon, they can't make any descisions on their own (this will be pivotal in the final battle. If the dragon is killed, then the orcs won't know what to do and will scatter.).

I think the battle going somewhere along those lines would be O.K, though we may have to change things around a bit later.
Thorin, noticed you were online. Can you do your post?

I've thought about how the basic plot should go up until that point, and here's my conclusion:
Thorin, Fornad and army stay in North Downs, spying on the evil army and planning, until the evil army gets too close for comfort and they move further southwest. They could be killing forward patrols of the evil army, making the dragon realise that there is something dangerous out there, and therefore slowing it's armies advance.
Meanwhile, Wazt is still sending messages and trying not to be found out. To make his posts more interesting, we could have a few orcs discovering him sending a message, and Wazt having to kill them.
Also, King Elessar will have gathered his armies together in Anorien and set off north (can somone find out how long it would take to get to the Downs from Anorien, passing through Rohan, the Gap of Rohan, and northwest?).
It will then basically become a race, with the evil army moving southwest towards the Shire, Fornad, Thorin and their armies borne helplessly before it, and King Elessar desperately trying to get to confront the evil army before it's too late.
Sound good? We might have to have the battle on the northern borders of the Shire to make it seem like it was close.

Are we keeping Lh’gharath? (whatever his name was)

Kool. How close to the lake is it? Is there a cliff near the lake? We could change the bit at the end with the dragon if it is in running distance.

Normal stuff Jump on Dragon, Lh’gothar fight etc, Dragon gets mad, flies over lake. Goblin Archer follows, shoots me, Thorin/Elessar kills Goblin, You Lot meet up on cliffs, I die, fall into lake
Dragon Charges at You lot,
Thorin Screams Dwarvey Battle-Cry
King Elessar/IceFangs Says something about facing worse before, pulls out And’ril
Fornad/Fornac Screams watching Wazt fall, saying he was the Perfect soldier
Dragon Flies away
King Ellesar/Icefangs Hears a cry behind them, 50 Great Elven archers run to the cliff-top, saying something about the leader of the Elves getting their message too late, and the forces of good are now winning.
Fornad/Fornac Says something about the Great Dragon, angry and badly wounded preparing to slaughter them, saying they have no chance until the Dragon is dead.
Thorin Sees the dragon returning over the hills,
Everyone Fires arrows
Dragon Hit by fatal arrows just before he reaches the cliff, falls into the lake, screaming and breathing fire until he hits the water. Elvish Boats set out almost immediately, recover the Dragons body.
Anyone Notices Wazt's body, who is still half alive,
Eruheran/Wazt Dies,
Everyone Returns to the battle-field,
King Elessar/Fornad/Elven Leader holds up the (Large) head of the Dragon, enemy flee, but the archers shoot them down as they run.

If we can do the thing with the Mirkwood Elves arriving just after my death, may I play as them?

Captainduck: Do you want to join?

Eruheran: We're not keeping Lhughotar. The dragon is intelligent enough on it's own (think about Glaurung/Smaug).
Let me put forward my own battle plan:

Fornac/Fornad: Fleeing along the shores of Lake Evendim with Thorin and their armies; the evil army is gaining on them. King Elessar and his army are waiting on the cliffs, they will not go to help them; they have to get there first.
Icefangs/King Elessar: Wants to aid them, but his captains are telling him not to, since it would become a tactical disadvantage (the two armies would be on level ground). Archers and trebuchets are being readied along the edge of the cliffs.
Eruheran/Wazt: Charging with a battalion of Uruk-hai, hears the dragon's terrible voice in his head telling the orcs to head north and to reach the point where the cliffs end. He can see the Rangers and dwarves in the distance.
Thorin/Thorin: Reaches the cliff-face with Fornad and their armies. In the distance, they see a huge legion of one thousand orcs and goblins break off from the main army and come towards them. Thorin says 'It has been a pleasure fighting with you, Ranger,' to Fornad. They are sure that they will die.
Icefangs/King Elessar: He sees the evil army come within range of the trebuchets, and orders them to let fly. Huge boulders fly from the cliffs and crash into the evil army.
Fornac/Fornad: Sees these boulders, knows the battle has begun. The legion of orcs coming towards his and Thorin's army comes within firing range. The Rangers unleash a veil of deadly arrows, and the dwarves charge, roaring battlecries.
Thorin/Thorin: Describe battle with orcs and goblins. The dwarves are outnumbered (4 to 5) but they are much better fighters. Lots of beheading, guts, blood, pain. Awful reality of battle. Sees his captain Bain fall to an arrow, goes beserk (means become extremely strong and fearless, caused by an overload of adrenalin).
Icefangs/King Elessar: Sees the battle below him, can do nothing. Arrows and boulders still flying into the evil army, but the orcs are quickly getting out of range. The Gondorians assume that they are fleeing in terror. Big mistake.
Eruheran/Wazt: A boulder flies over him, and he hears the crunches and screams as it hits the army. He keeps on moving with the army, and they begin to chant in Orcish 'Death to Men! The orcs have risen! Death to Men!'. They are out of range of the trebuchets now, and the cliffs have become more level, and possible to climb up. They charge up the slope, and come out onto the top of the cliffs. The dragon suddenly appears out from behind a cloud, and dives towards the Gondorian army, steel armour glittering in the sun. The evil army charges southward along the edge of the cliffs towards them.
Fornac/Fornad: They have been forced to the bottom of the cliffs, each man and dwarf fighting desperately for himself. They have no hope.
Thorin/Thorin: Feels that the rock behind him seems strange. He places his hand on it, and suddenly the rock moves, juddering aside to reveal a passageway. He shouts to his soldiers to retreat, and the Rangers and dwarves run in, fighting off the orcs who try to follow them. The doors shut, plunging them into darkness. There are only around a hundred survivors.
Icefangs/King Elessar: Moves his army into ranks, archers at the back, soldiers at the front. The huge mass of black that is the orcs moves towards them, covering the cliff-edge and the hills to the west. The trebuchets are almost in position, when the dragon comes, breathing fire and roaring, and destroys them all. The archers manage to hit the dragon a few times, wounding it. All the men are terrified, even Aragorn feels his heart quiver in dread.

Phew! That's all I can do for now, what did you people think?

Cool. And the KDI looks like I thought it would .

And at some point in the battle, drag a dead Ranger into a bush, and swap our armour.

"ME GOOD URUK NOW!!!" or something

Or we could just download Google Chrome. (Or press the Green Tick next to the smileys button.)

Google Chrome doesn't recognise Google as a word

Thorin recently PMed me, says that he'll do his post soon.
I'll continue the rest of planning the battle scene later on today.
I'm posting this again as a reminder for Thorin:

You're right, Thorin. We've got a basic idea of what happens between now and then, but nothing concrete. So here goes...
We stay in the North Downs, spying, recieving messages, planning, training, etc., until the evil army can be seen on the grey horizon. Then we start to spread out all over the Downs. When the evil army's forward patrols of quick-moving goblins begin to scuttle into the hills, we kill them. Wazt will be with the other commanders when they realise that the goblins haven't returned, and they know that there are enemies in the hills (Again, any developments within the orc army will cause Wazt to notify Fornad immediately, giving the Ranger a huge advantage.). The orc captains (helped along by Wazt) imagine a force of at least three thousand in there, which males them give the order to move the entire army through there all at once, for protection. Bigger armies move more slowly, and this becomes vital later on so that the Gondorians have enough time to get there.
But as the evil army comes out of the North Downs and heads southwest, towards the Shire, it becomes clear that they will get there much before Aragorn's army will. In a desperate bid to save the lives of the innocent hobbits (yes, I know this is beginning to sound like a movie advert), Fornad sends a message to Wazt telling him to tell the orc captains, and the dragon, that King Elessar, his queen and son, and three thousand men wait on the shores of Lake Evendim. Wazt does, and this proves too much of an incitement to war for the orcs and dragon. The evil army turns west.
Meanwhile, King Elessar has just crossed the southern Brandywine. He has been urging his men on at a quick pace, and they are all weary. It is 900 miles from Minas Tirith to Annuminas, taking the North-South Road, and that would take a month and a half to walk. Providing that Ice started off with Three Weeks earlier..., that should keep it in good time.
The two armies meet at Lake Evendim at the cliffs, and the rest is history (or prophecy, depending on which way you look at it).

Yeah, doin it now.

Sounds good. I will think about my post and do my part again in a few minutes.

That post was well-written, Thorin, and I've just done mine too.
I think you should post next, starting off with your response to my question, then looking at the work going on as well. Then say 'A few hours later - Nightfall'. Describe men and dwarves finishing off the camp, with your and my two tents in the centre. I give the order for the funerals to begin, a few hundred metres from the camp edge (you can control my character for that and this part). Men and dwarves bearing torches and the black-shrouded stretchers walk down the centre of a long space formed by the armies on either side. They slowly lay the stretchers into fifteen pits in the ground (eight Rangers, seven dwarves), and then smouldering herbs are cast over the bodies. A Dunedain shaman and dwarf priest both give their blessing and hope for their safe voyage over the Western Seas, and then they are buried. All the men and dwarves' faces are hard and grim. Wooden markers are driven into the earth for each body, then they return to camp.
Once you've done that, I'll do one receiving Wazt's message about the army and dragon.

Wooooo!!! 100th post! Woooo!!!

Thanks Eruheran, and I will say that. By the way, Icefangs hasn't been around much. Hope that she can post when she needs to (that might be some time, but still).
Post in the Khazad-dumish! There's a bit of a situation beginning to develop...

A little knack here! Dwarves are buried only in stone!

Buried only in stone? Hmmm... That could be a problem. But it's impossible to bury, or entomb, any of the dwarves in stone at the place where they are. I suppose they'll have to make do.
If you leave earth for long enough, after millions of years of geological pressure, it becomes stone!....OK, not a good excuse .
Just don't mention it in the RPG.

Someplace on Google Images, and thanks, it's how I imagine Fornad to be. And to your other question, no. Why did you ask?
