Want to be a Mithril Knight? Initiantion thread OOC

[erinhue]

yes indeed that was a LOT of fun, best I've had in a bit. Everyone did a bang a rang job in there. Proud of ya all.

I gotta work this morning but ASAP I'll send in some healers and then we can move on to taking the Oath.

[erinhue]

All that remains of this ceremony is The Oath. I thought in light of what has occurred we might want to take a moment for reactions, inquiries, explanations, revelations, whatever. This is not really part of the test but the flow of the story does seem to require some reflection etc to come after this rather surprising turn of events. If not we can move on to The Oath, I was just thinkin' out loud

[Cock-Robin]

It sounds good, Hue! I have something planned. Great post!

[erinhue]

Great post yourself. Hmmm something to think about. Idril was Erinhue's mentor knight when he joined the Order. He probably should know something. Let me go dig around a little and see what I can put together. this is Sooo Cool

[Cock-Robin]

Wow, never knew that. She was THAT Idril, the mother of Earendil?

http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Idril

I didn't know that. But it should be interesting. I'll wait to see what you're cooking up. I hope Idril comes back, as well as Vana and the rest.

[erinhue]

Hmmm now that ya mention it I am not so very certain that she was THAT Idril. Could very well be so Im gonna go with that. Found a little something about the gates of Gondolin that looks very interesting. you would love the fourth gate but this seems more suited to the Gold Gate. Lemme look around some more and sleep on it. I got an idea

[erinhue]

Did a little more digging in the archives here and Yes indeed, our Idril is THAT IDRIL I thought so. OK so the connect works. the idea percolates

[erinhue]

One does find the most marvelous things when digging around in woodwork. Found this little tidbit and it was just purrrfect. Hope ya like it and can find a way to use the info.

[Cock-Robin]

Very good! I think I can use this. He's going to have to find out what it can do yet, but he has more of an idea on it. It is fitting, as Idril was his mentor as well, then Dirk, then Idril again. I wonder what she would say when she sees it on him. I looked up that gate, and it's perfect! Thank you.

[erinhue]

My great pleasure.... really... I love making the RP connect to the "real" thing

[Cock-Robin]

wow, looks like you double posted. I used to be the king of triple posting years ago, LOL!

[Claymore]

So a little show and tell on Djaleh's part and a little speculation.
Hue I hope you don't mind the addition of the Bard routinely removing his own stitches. He seems bad*ss enough for it.

[erinhue]

Fits right in. The Bard is a notoriously bad patient

[erinhue]

OK now. We got the explanations out of the way with a nice foreshadow of things to come. What say we let everyone get a good night's sleep and start the morning with breakfast and The Oath. Add in if you want but my next post includes coffee and a sticky bun

EDITED IN Tempest, m'love, if you are going to be starting our next adventure thread, get ready. Once we do The Oath and perhaps a reaction from our Initiates, this one is done. Just a heads up cause I can feel ya waitin' in the wings

Yeah I know, but I didn't wanna mess up that nice round number

[Cock-Robin]

Ooooh, the plot thickens. I mentioned earlier that one of the KoS had tried to steal the Stone of Bar and paid with his life. And now, I have some ideas as well.

[erinhue]

Ya got Agarak right. The old worm would not consider any of this initiation business to be its business.

[erinhue]

Aside from a little bracketing action I cut and pasted this from the MK website so it is printed here exactly as Lord Elbren designed.

You initiates get a chance to respond if you want. My next post I am giving you the MK cloak, a collar for Meneldor if that is OK we can set his jewel in it. You can just say yep I'll sign up for that or add in whatever thoughts etc ya like. When I give you the cloaks I will pronounce you all Mithril Knights and we're outta here.

[Cock-Robin]

That sounds great! Meneldor will do the collar with the gem in it. btw, Brondgast will have the cloak, but when he transforms into a bear, the cloak will change into a collar as long as he's a bear. That's the only modification I can see. It'll change back into a cloak when he changes back into a man. It'll be connected with the enchantment that he's under as a Beorning. I'll do the post immediately.

[erinhue]

I had a feelin' somebody had something to say right in there. I'll wait a bit for Claymore in case she wants in but I'm not waiting too long, tonight maybe if I can hold off these ants. I also think Tempest is waiting on us to finish up.... and then its off to the next one I'm ready! I'm ready!

[Cock-Robin]

And now Claymore has posted. Yay! The ants go marching one by one, hurrah! hurrah! Although now, I'm kinda ashamed of my short post. I'll do more later.

[erinhue]

Alllll Righty boys and girls. that concludes our official Initiation ceremony. Want to welcome all you newbies to the Order. Bang a Rang job one and all. It is my great pleasure to be writing with you all. Cannot wait to see what Tempest has been cooking up all this time

[Cock-Robin]

I am SO happy! I've been working towards this for years, and now, I'm a Mithril Knight! Let's celebrate!

[Cock-Robin]

I also can't wait to see what Tempest is cooking up. I just did a tiny plot twist that may prove important later.

[Tempest]

Great job, everyone!! I didn't quite finish reading all of your posts yet, but what I have read so far is good stuff!! Sorry I've been MIA the last week or so; work and grad school caught up with me. But I have the beginning of our next adventure already written and ready to go, so after I catch up, I'm going to create a new thread. Keep your eyes peeled!!

Also, Erinhue, if there are any others who want to join us who are NOT Mithril Knights yet, can you let them know to watch for the new thread? You had mentioned Sid...

Happy Easter!

~Tempest

[Teltasarewen]

I hear you C.R. I'm finally a Mithril Knight.

Got my eyes peeled Tempest. Watching and waiting...

[erinhue]

Liking that little twist there C-R. Yes I can see that coming in handy at some point in the future. Speaking of that, protecting The Bard, is Agarak's main reason for being.... and the old worm pays its debts

Tempest m'love, I cannot wait to see what ya got for us

[Cock-Robin]

I can't wait either!

The pellet with the poison's in the chalice with the palace,
The flagon with the dragon has the brew that is true! LOL

[erinhue]

Oooo I loved that old Danny Kaye movie

[erinhue]

OK, that's a wrap, it's done, we're out. It was a great little ride but the next one cannot start until we put this puppy ta bed.

[Cock-Robin]

Good night, puppy, and I've had fun. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for you, Tempest. Now that I'm a full-fledged Mithril Knight, I'm ready, and on pins and needles ready to begin.
