Rally The Eldar......Book 3

[orodreth111]

It would be a certain Dark Knight's last name...

[sandra]

Sunny, you are soooo funny

[orodreth111]

..Yes, it's even better because she was serious!!!!

[Sunsilver]

Forgive me, I thought we weren't supposed to use real names on this site...especially LAST names!

Ergo, I thought it had to be some obscure sort of joke...

BTW, if that had been posted on the nursing site where I used to moderate, I would have had to edit the post. However, it seems it's okay to do it on TORC...I DID just see a moderator in this thread...

AND SHE WAS LAUGHING AT ME!!

So, um...yeah...[smooths ruffled feathers]....

Is anyone gonna do some RP sometime this century?

[orodreth111]

..I just remembered why I don't post in this thread much....

[Sunsilver]

You don't like my sense of humour?

Now my feelings are REALLY hurt! [sniff!]

[gimli_axe_wielder]

Wasn't someone supposed to hand me my head on a plate?

[sandra]

If its the head of Tempest you seek you will need a platter not a plate

And why should it be handed to you. Go get it yourself !

[gimli_axe_wielder]

Something tells me she won't give it up willingly

[Tempest]

Go ahead and try. You might want to make a will out before you attempt it, though.

[Tempest]

It is unacceptable that it has been two YEARS since the last post. What in Mordor is going on here? Have I finally truly vanquished you all?

[Gilaglar]

Have I finally truly vanquished you all?

You wish.

[Tempest]

And another year passes.....the shadow has fallen on us all.....

[orodreth111]

...And hello gang!! Been a long time although I still lurk on occasions. I was going back and reading some of our old RP and some of it is just really good. Hope everyone is doing well in their lives, thing s are going well for me. Divorced in 2012, met a great girl a few years ago and we are living together and very happy. Work is going well, the boys are getting old, Greg, who was born a few days before I joined TORC will be 16 in a few weeks and Conor is now 17 and driving yikes!! The Oreo man is fat happy and content(well, not that fat lol)

Anyway "BARRROOOOOOOOO BARRROOOOOOOOO!!!! "

[Tempest]

Can't believe how long it's been since I stopped by! Hope everyone is doing well! Glad to hear that you're happy, Oreo, and that life is treating you kindly!

[orodreth111]

Still the best group here! Hi guys!

[rwhen]

The best group anywhere for my money. I was away for about five years, but back now and read this version of Book 3. Sandra, Gimli, SB, Sunny, Gil and whoever else I missed have been also gone for a time unknown...fractured into their own realities. So Oreo....Tempest.....is there an interest in writing for others while we see if we can shake them loose???? I could give it a go, don't expect much, but maybe I could temp the Tempest to go shopping for more large platters. Where we were......dwarves, ents, Oreo, Sandra, Gil, Sunny, Gimli and the Raven...were headed to confront Tempest with her large and mighty army which obviously includes Bain.....okay here is a small effort. And totally pulled out of my neither region, so it could be a might stinky...yeah, poor taste....whatdidya expect?

The Raven lead the way for the group of warriors, ready for the final confrontation against the deadly and vindictive Tempest and Bain. It was a fool's bet as to who might win. Valor on one side and blind hatred on the other. After what seemed a fortnight the Raven finally called them to a halt amid the barren and scorched battlefield. The vast armies of Tempest could be seen across the expanse, now alert to their presence. An eerie silence fell upon both sides for what seemed an interminable stretch.

"Someone tell a joke," Rwhen glanced at Sandra who returned a deadpan face in her direction.

"This is not the time for jokes little one, this is a time for courage," Sandra nodded to Oreo. "Are you about ready to lead us forward?" Or shall we play Red Rover Red Rover Send Tempest Right Over?"

"Hey....I thought you said...." Rwhen let it trail off as movement began from the opposite side of the wounded earth.

Oreo looked at Sandra with flat steely eyes, "What or who is this Red Rover you speak of? A Knight perhaps? Now working for Tempest?"

Sandra's mouth gaped like a stunned trout, then closed as she shook her head. Riding forth a few strides, she turned towards the valiant fighters. "PREPARE! PREPARE OH PROUD DEFENDERS OF MIDDLE EARTH FOR ALL THAT IS GOOD AND RIGHT, FOR NOW," she turned her head and raised her sword high, "WE GO FAITHFULLY INTO BATTLE...."

Rwhen adjusted herself into the worn saddle and uttered under her breath to no one in particular, "Proud defenders she says.....what is the worst that could happen?" She let out a nervous laugh at the obvious ending to the rhetorical question. Kicking her restless horse into a slow trot, she moved forward with the Ents HARRRROOOOOMOOOOOOOMing and the Dwarves smashing bright weapons on sturdy shields. The sound was deafening. Leaning towards Oreo, "Do you think that will scare them, or what?"

.........................

Short and at least it is a restart. My writing skills are nowhere on par with those of SB, Oreo, Sandra, Gil and Tempest...but I try to inject a bit of humor here and there. Hope you don't find it too objectionable or impertinent.

[Sunsilver]

Good effort, rwhen! I like the humour. And yes, I definitely COULD be tempted [TEMPEded?] to post.
But alas, Tempest, unless she has an alter-ego, hasn't visited since May, which leaves us with only Oreo, Gimli, you and myself.
I was shocked to see Sandra hasn't visited since 2013, and even SmaugsBane seems to have left us.
Nevertheless, I'm going to reread the most recent pages, and see if the muse can be persuaded to come up with something.
Maybe the others CAN be coaxed out of hiding. One of the problems may be that changes to the board have caused thread subscriptions to expire. I never would have known about your post if you hadn't tapped me on the shoulder in the Class of 2000 thread! So, maybe we need to do the same with some of the other RPers in this thread, if we know them on FB or other media?

Edited to add: okay, found out why I wasn't getting post notifications! They were being e-mailed to an address that got hacked about 6 years ago!

[rwhen]

Sunny, It would be great to revive this thread. Maybe you posting would help. I wrote with Gimli on FB and he didn't seem keen on returning to TORC anytime soon. SB has been gone since around when I came in. I also asked Gimli about Sandra and he hasn't heard a peep out of her in years and years now. *sigh* Maybe Oreo will head over this way or Tempest. We can only hope.

But please do post away if the muse moves ya.

[Tempest]

Well, well, well, what do we have here? A few lone troublemakers trying to revive a thread I conquered long ago.....
