ArPharazonV: (sorry for the in-between)
VardaValar1: No problem. It's how Valar
functions, Phar. :-)
VardaValar1: On to
WoW
VardaValar1: Eonwe, your floor. : )
Eonwe Valar: Thanks :}
Eonwe Valar: First, some general WoW
news.
Eonwe Valar: Now is the time to make sure
your beta opt-in setting are ready if you wish to participate in the
Cataclysm beta.
Eonwe Valar: If you haven't seen it yet, a
preview for the Halls of Origination is up.
AriehnV: is beta starting then :-D
Eonwe Valar:

profession changes here:

Eonwe Valar: And you might want to take a look at Blizzard's RealID
"feature"
http://www.battle.net/realid/
AriehnV: has anyone subscribed to the wow magazine? i am a bit
tempted but is it worth 30 quiid for a year?
Eonwe Valar: I haven't, and don't really
plan to.
VardaValar1: They seem to have pretty
much all I need from the Launcher's news.
Eonwe Valar:
Lothar:
Iryenth: we signed up for a year at
Blizzcon for the Murloc plush. The magazine itself isn't really worth
it.
AriehnV: oky thanks :-)
Menelvagor Valar
has entered the room.
Menelvagor Valar: Aiya!
VardaValar1: Aiya Menelvagor : )
AriehnV: aiya :-)
Menelvagor
Valar: whoa...
new interface.
Eonwe Valar: Varda, Bilbo, Elwing, and I
ran a couple of random dungeons on Friday night. First was a normal
Trial of the Champion, and the second was
a heroic Halls of Lightning.
Eonwe Valar: That' completes my WoW news.
Menelvagor
Valar: how'd it
go? :-)
Eonwe Valar: We made it through :}
Menelvagor
Valar: hehe :-)
AriehnV: I am back alternating
Auchindoun and
Argent Dawn and retook the levelling of the pali , shammi

AriehnV: so getting there and
hopefull Findu will stay rested until 80 :-)
Menelvagor

AriehnV: Findu is my only male
character hehe
AriehnV: read his rebirth if u like

AriehnV:

channel#
AriehnV: thats me :-)
and as usual he ll provide lw stuff i f i need them :-)
ArPharazonV: *nod*
ArPharazonV: I'm almost at 9000 achievement points now, and nearly
have the Lich King down on 10-man (made it to 36% yesterday) should be
able to finsih both when I
come back in a month.
VardaValar1: Billboh on Lothar has
everything from all the heroics now, hasn't got much left he can do new.
ArPharazonV: *finish
Menelvagor Valar: I know the feeling.
VardaValar1: Sounds as if you found
plenty to do. : )
Menelvagor
Valar: whenever I
run heroics with my main, I don't even check loot anymore, I just press
disenchant.
AriehnV: nice one we started icc
running on Auchindoun (remember Helm is there :-) )
Eonwe Valar: Don't disenchant the
Battered Hilt! :}
Eonwe Valar: Would be nice to meet Helm
one day, hehe :}
Menelvagor
Valar: nah, I'll
sell that one for 5k, or complete the quest just for completing it :-)
AriehnV: 5k thats cheap lol usually
it sells for 9 k pluss on our server :-(]
AriehnV: but carry on with the
meeting :-)
VardaValar1:
Lord of the Rings Online:
VardaValar1: We now have regular runs on
Monday and Wednesday.
VardaValar1: It's at 8pm EST
VardaValar1: We've been doing
non-scheduled runs together too, that seemed to have been sparked by the
regular runs.
VardaValar1: Mostly we're running Moria
radiance dungeons, rather than the high-end Mirkwood, to bring our main
regulars all up even on radiance gear.
VardaValar1: We are also crafting for
each other, using a team effort.
VardaValar1: end report
top
VardaValar1:
Tolkien:
VardaValar1: We have enough here to make
comments on the
role-play.
Menelvagor
Valar: mostly
waiting on Phar to make his next post with Calaron.
VardaValar1: The latest scene has entries
from Auros, Frali, and Fainan.
ArPharazonV: 's not gonna happen for a month, Menel... I had plans,
but haven't come to it yet
ArPharazonV: And we needed to decide on which way to go, which was
hard to discuss without you ;-)
Menelvagor Valar: not really, you could have
posted without me being here :-D
ArPharazonV: Short-term, yes. But that's not what I'm talking
about.
Menelvagor Valar: and sundays have been rather
icky for me of late, due to the weekly game night with friends, tends to
last until 2 AM +.
VardaValar1: Glad you could make it
tonight. Talk fast guys! : )
VardaValar1: Maybe email would work.
VardaValar1: Gets around the whole timing
problem.
ArPharazonV: The long-term issue is that I need you to hold still
long enough to get a message to you to pass along to the party, without
me actually being in the position to
easily kill you.
Menelvagor Valar: don't worry, didn't last long
tonight, put myself on curfew for tonight ^^
ArPharazonV: And that is where we somehow need to get.
ArPharazonV: The post I'm planning to make when I get back (after
reading all the transcripts and forum-posts)
Menelvagor Valar: you wouldn't kill me easily,
and I really doubt I'd be standing still for long enough to receive a
message.
VardaValar1: Creative thinking time. What
would lure him close enough without being in line of an arrow?
VardaValar1: Another arrow with a note
attached?
ArPharazonV: Hmm... perhaps. Calaron doesn't have time to write it
though.
karakedi25 has entered the room.
karakedi25:
Aiay
karakedi25: *Aiya
VardaValar1: Aiya Indis. We're in an rp
discussion, good timing. : )
Menelvagor
Valar: Aiya
Indis!
ArPharazonV: What he needs to do is talk with Estarion (though he
doesn't really know it yet) but I don't think Estarion's in a position
to listen, which makes this a problem.
Menelvagor Valar: rather, yes.
VardaValar1: Problem is getting a message
from Calaron to the fast-moving Estarion.
Eonwe Valar: Sure, pull up a piece of
paper, an ink well, a pen, scribble down some Cirth...
ArPharazonV: ...all the while making sure not to lose track of
Estarion in the trees as he runs...
Menelvagor Valar: Aye... I've set Estarion up
as a rather rash character.
ArPharazonV: Another method would be skipping Estarion alltogether,
following him to the open circle instead, and there confronting the
party directly (which, again, needs to
have something to prevent us from shooting him down)
Menelvagor Valar: and mind you that Estarion
misses several thousand years of Calaquendi / Mirkwood history.
Menelvagor
Valar: So he
isn't aware of the concept of kinslaying.
karakedi25: have the Avari been that isolated that they have heard
nothing at all of the history of the Sindar, at least?
ArPharazonV: I can picture Estarion joining us in the circle,
Calaron waiting out of sight of it and thinking ("Well, this isn't going
to work. I'll just write a note and shoot an
arrow.") but that seems kinda anticlimax....
karakedi25: i
karakedi25: I
Menelvagor Valar: I don't know, as far as I do
know, the Avari passed out of the history that Tolkien left us.
VardaValar1: Maybe the message could go
straight to Calion.
ArPharazonV: Yes. But how would it get there without exposing
Calaron to our arrows? Shouting out from behind some tree?
VardaValar1: The Avari may have done some
teaching to Men coming out of the East.
karakedi25: didn't Tolkien indicate that in one of his writings?
Menelvagor Valar: true, but that would mean the
news going westward, not eastward.
ArPharazonV: And now I need to be going.
Menelvagor Valar: I don't know.
Menelvagor
Valar: but what I
was thinking is wounding Calaron, and then dragging him to the party.
VardaValar1: Namarie, Phar! Good luck on
the field work!
karakedi25: anyway, kinslaying in general wouldn't be something
any elf would go for if not under Feanorean madness, history or not
ArPharazonV: And then Calaron... escapes somehow after passing a
message? the final confrontation won't be until Angmar.
VardaValar1: The Avari would have bumped
into the Silvans too.
Menelvagor
Valar: well, he
might mutter something to Estarion while being dragged, and then
struggling free and disappearing.
Menelvagor
Valar: and
Estarion unable to follow, due to proximity of spiders / orcs /
whatever.
VardaValar1: Estarion is there trying to
get intel, right?
Menelvagor
Valar: Estarion
stayed behind mainly to split up the ambush, to give the party a larger
chance of escape.
VardaValar1: So Calaron can give him some
during that spy trip.
VardaValar1: ok, that won't work then.
Menelvagor
Valar: it's a
calculated, though rash, decision.
Menelvagor
Valar: and
remember the oath I swore to Eonwe :-)
ArPharazonV: Ehh, I'm not sure either of us should "win" in a duel.
Especially if you're not aware of kinslaying.
Eonwe Valar: I don't the the concept of an
elf slaying an elf would be that foreign, and equally frowned upon.
Menelvagor
Valar: I agree.
Eonwe Valar: *I don't think
ArPharazonV: You can escape if you want, and I'll follow... or you
could try to drag out the current situation for the next month.
ArPharazonV: I can't tell you what to write, but I'm not going to
be here to make any further suggestions.
VardaValar1: Kinslaying was considered
evil before Feanor got it started.
ArPharazonV: I'm saving and sending.
VardaValar1: Menel might consider spying,
since he's there anyway.
karakedi25: that's my thought, Varda
VardaValar1: Thanks, Phar. :-)
Menelvagor
Valar: I will be
avoiding a direct confrontation with Calaron as much as possible.
ArPharazonV: Good.
VardaValar1: But spying is not usually
done by direct confrontation.
ArPharazonV: Then I'll see what you've come up with when I'm home.
Menelvagor Valar: considering that a direct
confrontation would put Estarion in harm's way of the Orcs and spiders
who have stayed behind with Calaron.
VardaValar1: Sounds like a plan, Phar. : )
Rest well!
Menelvagor
Valar: Taking a
risk is one thing, taking an impossible risk is quite another.
ArPharazonV: Besides. We can always change our posts later.
Menelvagor Valar: Namarie Pharzie :-)
Eonwe Valar: Retcon, hehe.
Menelvagor
Valar: True, but
I'd prefer not to.
ArPharazonV: then you'll need to be as vague and
non-confrontational as possible :-)
Menelvagor Valar: I didn't cut my way through
some branches to get higher and away from you for no reason ^^
VardaValar1: Sneaky.
ArPharazonV: We can iron out any mistakes. Don't be afraid to do
so. It's for the sake of a good story.
