SHADOWS OVER GONDOR III

[LadyArwenUndómiel]

OOC: Glad to have more people join in. However, the people from my group haven't been here for a while Hopefully they will return. School begins on the 26th for me, though I'll be posting regularly.
Mel: I'm also going to audition for the school musical this year! Did backstage last year, though acting is much more fun.... (okay, shouldn't overtalk now! ;D)

BIC: Arwen holds her sword, Hadhafang ahead of her and follows the screams. She reaches another heavy door with her companions and it seems bolted shut: only to be opened from the other side!

"Kessa! Claire! Look at this." Arwen says, looking at her companions who were ten paces behind her. Arwen ran back to them and brought them to the door. "Something is weird here. On the count of three, we all push hard!"

Arwen gives Stubber a hard gaze and adds, "You too! Don't think of backing out, or else we'll all be dead; not only you!"

[Imrel]

(Hey! There are four groups, thank you very much... (Does two people count as a group?))

That's it, right ahead. *Draws her sword.*
*Follows suit, but notices something overhead.* Imrel, a falcon.
*Squints at it.* Is that something on its leg...
*The falcon begins to dive.* It's headed to the...
Follow it, come on! *She and Iridin run on to the "battle field", carving their way through the enemies tey come across. Im sees an elf she recognizes.* Mel! *Fights her way forward, as the falcon goes to the sea-elf aswell.*

(Heh, getting tired of only having an NPC for company...)

[Balin]

OOC: Where can I join in?

BIC: Balin and his clan runs to Gondor a message has been heard that it's a war on the orcs and dwarfs don't want Rivendell to be lost fore ever...

OOC: that was a metaphor I think that if your not on this board you are not in rivendell at all it's like a month ago any one was in the armory or any other place were I am.

[Rhiannon]

ooc: Sorry Imrel ;D Balin I think you can join wherever you want

[Melian]

*continues slotering orcs, one sneeks up behind her and bops her on the head, she is knocked unconches*

[Balin]

Balin can see a large hord of orcs that i aparently fighting something and he takes his clan in tat direction

[Rhiannon]

*As the Uruk-Hai almost have completed their circle around the hill, she looks into many frightened eyes.* Don't be afraid! We'll just have to fend them off until Mel reaches us. She and her army can't be far away. We have come as far as this. Now it's up to you to defend your freedom. *A howling sound rises from below* Take your positions.

[Imrel]

Oh, no. *Hurriedly fits an arrow to her bow, and succeeds in piercing the heart of Melody's attacker before he finishes her off. Others are closing in, sensing weakness, so she belts her bow and instead draws her sword. Lunges forward to fend off the Orcs. Has to yell to Iridian over the roar of battle.* Try to bring her round; I'm covering you! *Leans heavily to the right as she speaks to parry a blow from a nasty looking blade.*

[Rhiannon]

*Grits her teeth* Well, it seems as if we have to hold on for a while until Mel's army joins us. *Draws her sword as the first orcs start to climb the hill.*

[Kessa Star]

(ooc: I'm so unbelievably sorry! I've been beyond busy with school and marching band! I think I can keep up with the posts pretty well if anyone wants to start this up again, but if not then ignore me!!! ;D)

[Rhiannon]

I'm still there though I just can't keep up several boards all by myself. As long as nobody wants to pay me for doing this as a fulltime job, that is..... ;D

[Rhiannon]

ok, I think I'll finish this story....

*As the Uruk-Hai rise like a black wave through the trees, she steps into the first line of their men. * May the Spirits be with us...* Cuts the throat of the first orc.

Having the advantage of fighting downhill, they managed to fight the Uruk Hai army off long enough. Finally, she heard the cry of her falcon above the hill. Looking around she could hear the sound of an army marching through the woods. *That's Mel! They made it! Quick, attack!* The Uruk Hai, taken by surprise realised too late that it was now them who were surrounded. The battle went back and forth until night. In the darkness, the last orcs fled or were killed.

When they finally gathered on the hill again, she stepped forward. *Brave people of Gondor, tonight victory is yours! You are now free to go back to rebuild your villages or to join the fight again, on the right side this time and of free will. *Cheers from the crowd* I know that many lifes have been lost and that we couldn't save all of your captured people. But with Rhys over here you have a brave leader. May he free the others with your help. We leave you with all the potion that is left. Good luck!*
Rhys stood up next.* We have to thank you and your friends for your brave help. You will be forever welcome in our houses. From what I have heard tonight, all prisoners that were still in Gondor are free. But many still miss family members and the rumors ahve it that lots of people have been taken to Mordor as slaves. I know it's a lot to ask for but, if we need your help again...?
*She sighs* If it was only me, I would rode to Mordor with you at once. But we have to go back to Rivendell. Lord Elrond is waiting for us and there are many battles to fight. But I wish you good luck and may the Spirits be with you.
He nods.* I can see that you and your friends are tired, too. Have a safe journey back to Rivendell.

On a crisp and sunny morning, they rode up to Lord Elrond's house again. Getting off her horse, she gave the reigns to a boy.* I just hope there is enough time for a hot bath and some sleep before the next adventure....
