Aiya : )
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:00 PM
Aiya!
VardaToday at 4:00 PM
Hey there Phar : )
Guess we need to let folks know it's that time. Think we may double as alarm clocks. ; )
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:02 PM
Arien poked.
ArienValarToday at 4:03 PM
i was faster than your poke :smile:
VardaToday at 4:03 PM
Yay Sunshine!
ArwenToday at 4:03 PM
ello :slight_smile:
ArienValarToday at 4:04 PM
Aiya :slight_smile:
there is a rare face :smile:
VardaToday at 4:04 PM
Aiya Arwen!
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:04 PM
Aiya Arwen and Arien :slight_smile:
ArwenToday at 4:04 PM
hello :slight_smile:
VardaToday at 4:05 PM
Don't let us make you late for work, but great you could say hi!
ArwenToday at 4:05 PM
I am just getting ready :smile:
ArienValarToday at 4:07 PM
nice to see you , Arwen :slight_smile:
ArwenToday at 4:07 PM
I'm about to leave, as Varda said, but I wanted to say I'm currently playing wow classic on Kurrinaxx horde side :smile:
VardaToday at 4:08 PM
Thanks!Any other WoW Classic servers we want to mention? Seems to be movement between them.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:09 PM
Hydraxian Waterlords, in Europe :slight_smile:
Eonwe ValarToday at 4:10 PM
Windseeker, Westfall, Bloodsail Buccaneers all have Valar Guild members on them in Classic.
Hmm, I'm noticing I need to put that note in your list that it's a Europe server, Phar.
Arwen, do you want your server listed on the Games Site?
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:11 PM
I do believe there is no Hydraxian in the US :wink:
ArienValarToday at 4:12 PM
Hydraxian Waterlords too but Alliance contrary to Phari although i do have a droody there :slight_smile: on Horde
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:13 PM
I already did classic alliance about 15 years ago, thought it better to try horde this time :wink:
Eonwe ValarToday at 4:13 PM
I'll take your word for it Phar :} I haven't dabbled in Classic since the beta so I don't know the server names off the top of my head, and I've already closed out WoW :}
ArienValarToday at 4:15 PM
fair enough Phari :slight_smile:
VardaToday at 4:17 PM
Formally opening a meeting already in progress, heh:

Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo!

Membership:
Nice crew on today, glad to see you all.
As fun as it always is visiting the wonderful Eowyn, I'm glad to be home in the old comfy routine and with the computer working better now. : )
It should not crash during this meeting! knocks on formica
Arien had some Membership news. Go ahead, o scout and tester!
It appears Arien is afk, so I'll pass it along for her. : )
Arien has scouted and tested a new member for the Valar Guild:
Imrahil-(V)
He's in her guild in European World of WarCraft.
The previous Imrahil in Indonesia is not in trouble but has been inactive so long that if he would like to return, that would be great, but he may need to choose a new name.
The new Imrahil seems to like the Poetry on our  site. : )
I'll let Arien add to this when she's able.
Any other Membership news anyone would like to pass along? Fladrif sighting or others, maybe?
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:24 PM
Well, he's been online according to bnet, but I don't think I've seen him :slight_smile:
VardaToday at 4:25 PM
Good to hear he's been on, yay!
Any sightings of Helm, Aragorn, others in Europe?
An oddity in Discord is that it does not show that we are playing in LotRO unless we force it to.

Web:
Shirebound has a story for us:
"In the Mind's Eye", 12 chapters:
http://valarguild.org/varda/Tolkien/encyc/fiction/authors/Shirebound/IntheMindsEye01.htm
    In the Mind's Eye ch.1 "Left Behind"
    fanfiction Fellowship of the
    Rings. The Morgul knife blade used at Weathertop to wound Frodo
    was enspelled by the Nazgûl, as was the hilt that Aragorn carried
    with him to Rivendell. At the Ford of Bruinen, the wraith-sorcerer
    has one chance to activate ...
It has a hole filler question about what happened to that Morgul knife hilt that was used on Frodo.
I need to go back and see if the hilt disappeared or was actually carried by Aragorn.
If anyone feels like looking that up in the books, please feel free!
Eonwe ValarToday at 4:30 PM
As I recall, he wrapped it up and took it with them to Elrond. I'm sure Elrond properly disposed of it though.
VardaToday at 4:30 PM
Agreed. Maybe something happened with it on the way, or the wrapping slipped. Other fun things maybe. And thanks!
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:31 PM
Maybe he sent it to Tom Bombadil.
VardaToday at 4:31 PM
Poor Elrond. Gandalf using Black Speech, Aragorn bringing a morgul hilt, Frodo bringing the One Ring, a lot of surprise guests. : )  All at once!
Tom is now using it for a paperweight?
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:32 PM
Must've been a heck of a job cleaning up all the dark influence. Febreze?
VardaToday at 4:32 PM
Undoubtedly invented for that purpose.
On to

Gaming!
Eonwe is going to have to leave shortly.
But has graciously consented to doing the report for us. Thanks!
Take it away, Eonwe!
Eonwe ValarToday at 4:33 PM
Thanks.

A true battle.
Eonwe ValarToday at 4:39 PM
Hehe.
ArienValarToday at 4:39 PM
sounds fun :slight_smile:
Eonwe ValarToday at 4:39 PM
That's it for Gaming News I'm privy to.
ArienValarToday at 4:39 PM
is that phased or watchable for everyone?
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:40 PM
Brawls are basically battlegrounds, so instanced.
ArienValarToday at 4:40 PM
oki
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:40 PM
But feel free to participate, no premade groups needed :slight_smile:
ArienValarToday at 4:41 PM

VardaToday at 4:42 PM
In Lord of the Rings Online, the Ill Omens skirmish questing is still going, through March 18.
I tried it last night for the first time. Have to go to one of a few skirmish camps,  such as South Bree, and find the hobbit lass Nedda, who gives the quest.
Finish off 4/5 of the batch she gives you per day. Lots of deeds, goodies for barter.
eyeballs the white huorn pet
The how-to is on a buff type mark on your portrait. Says where to go.
Not a mail or auto-bestowed type. Something different. : )

You get to see some names you rarely see in other places. Just nice to see that they are still with us!

Gimli and Sauron and I and some Tolkien-onlies still play tabletop games together, every other weekend at our house, and other games at their houses. : )
Any other gaming news?
Eve, Dota, other?
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:48 PM
Well, I... got 500 of the last building in Cookie Clicker this week, finally clearing up an entire line of achievements, and on the last legs towards the last upgrades... so I'm closer to done there than ever before.
Time for the next update :wink:
VardaToday at 4:48 PM
Fun : )
On to
top

Tolkien!
Magic weapons!
The enemy had them and the free people had them. Not common but could be a real problem.
Which ones can we come up with? Any book is fair game!
Eonwe ValarToday at 4:51 PM
Excalibur,.. wrong book? :}
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:51 PM
Wizards' staffs?
VardaToday at 4:51 PM
lol - unless Aragorn's sword might be a type of Excalibur before being put in a rock?
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:51 PM
Good way to channel their power, and a big moment when one broke.
VardaToday at 4:51 PM
good. The staves were certainly able to be used as weapons.
Only one staff broke in the books. Gandalf carried out what was probably the Valar's sentence breaking Saruman's staff and Gandalf taking over that white wizard position.
Eonwe ValarToday at 4:52 PM
Narsil/Anduril not really magic though. I suppose Glamdring/ Sting would count given their ability to glow blue when orcs are near.
ArienValarToday at 4:52 PM
the dagger that pippin used to cut the tendon of the Black Rider Lord , the former King of Angmar
VardaToday at 4:53 PM
Merry, actually, vs the Witch-king, but aye, exactly.
ArienValarToday at 4:53 PM
Merry i meant dangi it
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:53 PM
To be fair, they both used the same kind of dagger.
VardaToday at 4:53 PM
Narsil/Anduril had a lot of runes on it and I had better collect research on that for an article.
The glowing to let orcs know you're there, er, to let you know orcs are near, sounds like magic to me, aye.
ArienValarToday at 4:54 PM
Sting was magic as well as were most elven blades we meet in the books since they glow blue when orcs are near
VardaToday at 4:54 PM
True about the dagger
Aye. And Sting was able to penetrate the troll's foot I believe, when other blades would not.
ArienValarToday at 4:55 PM
Pippin killed a Troll chieftain was it? in the battle before the black gate
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:55 PM
You could say it.. stung?
VardaToday at 4:55 PM
Pippin did, yes, defending Beregond.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:56 PM
Did Sam use his for anything?
VardaToday at 4:56 PM
Sam did use the phial as a weapon/defense and stabbed Shelob.
(Bad sentence. His sword, not the phial, stabbed Shelob)
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:57 PM
True.
ArienValarToday at 4:57 PM
The Vial blinded Shelob
Eonwe ValarToday at 4:57 PM
Sam stabbed Shelob with the vial... I'm imagining that now...
VardaToday at 4:57 PM
The Mirror of Galadriel was good for intel.
haha Eonwe. what have I done!
ArienValarToday at 4:58 PM
hmm if the vial was diamond shaped :O?
it might have worked :wink:
VardaToday at 4:58 PM
Sharp stopper?
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 4:58 PM
"Taste light!"
ArienValarToday at 4:58 PM
uhu
VardaToday at 4:59 PM
So a lot of the ancient weapons as from Gondolin may have had some glowing magic, special stabbing abilities. Maybe that's why we have so many legendary items in LotRO. : )
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:00 PM
Magic weapons... I suppose you could throw a palantir really hard.
VardaToday at 5:01 PM
How about Rings?
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:01 PM
Oof, rings on a fist can leave an impression :wink:
ArienValarToday at 5:02 PM
what about Anglachel?
Eols sword?
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:02 PM
One of two, I believe?
ArienValarToday at 5:03 PM
i don't remember that
Eonwe ValarToday at 5:03 PM
Anguirel being the other.
VardaToday at 5:03 PM
Made of meteoric iron
That comes from a lot of the old folklore and myths too.
Eol's swords were made from the iron from a meteor.
ArienValarToday at 5:04 PM
didnt Anglachel speak ? once?
or do i mix that up with something else i read?
VardaToday at 5:04 PM
Angry about being made to kill Beleg
Eonwe ValarToday at 5:04 PM
Yes, before Turin took his own life with it.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:05 PM
Never trust a talking sword. It's usually just out for blood.
VardaToday at 5:05 PM
heh - in its nature.
ArienValarToday at 5:05 PM
Phew .. memory not quite as bad as i think :stuck_out_tongue: .. else i d have handed back my Maiar dignity dry
VardaToday at 5:06 PM
Eol's blade carried malice in it so Thingol would not use it. Sounds pretty magical.
Eonwe ValarToday at 5:06 PM
Never trust a talking sword... like this one? :} https://youtu.be/XofCWiRz6tg?t=38
    YouTube
    tallarun2005
    Mighty Morphin Power Rangers White Tiger Zord and Mega Tigerzord
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:07 PM
Didn't that one start out green and evil?
Eonwe ValarToday at 5:07 PM
The sword, no. The Ranger, yes.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:07 PM
Ah :slight_smile:
Eonwe ValarToday at 5:08 PM
But the sword talks :}
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:08 PM
It does!
VardaToday at 5:08 PM
Elric of Melniborne's sword if we want to leave Tolkien, but
maybe it's time to call it, since we hit the hour.
the hammer drags a sword behind it, trying to look cool, as it approaches the hammerpad
whop!
as the hammer returns to the shelf, the hammerpad follows along fixing the scratches.
How do you think we keep this table looking so nice?
top

After-meeting!
Free chat. Including talking swords. : )
Eonwe ValarToday at 5:16 PM
Sorry, was just trying to be funny based on Phar's "Never trust a talking sword" comment, didn't want to get out of LotR :}
ArienValarToday at 5:18 PM
i ve got a talking sword for you :slight_smile:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_TwJuIT6uw&list=PLNoFDhlabYlYvpUfULKJXqkylJJGRSsA3&index=4&t=0s
    YouTube
    Savitar The Surfing God
    Need (Oathbreakers)
VardaToday at 5:19 PM
No problem. I enjoyed it, was running the video. We just hit the hour and needed to give people a chance to leave as needed.
ArienValarToday at 5:19 PM
That one is out of Mercedes Lackey s universe and main world Valdemar
VardaToday at 5:20 PM
I like Mercedes Lackey especially with Larry Dixon (husband) teaming up on a story.
She has a lot of cool videos out, very much folksong type, which I like.
Been quite a while since seeing the Power Rangers, kind of a nostalgia thing from the kids' being younger. : )
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:22 PM
It's still ongoing I believe, constantly new seasons and new teams and new themes.
But I'll always prefer the first 6 seasons :slight_smile:
the "Zordon era" as it's called
Eonwe ValarToday at 5:32 PM
Yeah. I stopped somewhere short of finishing the Zeo era I think. It was like Super Shogun Zords or something.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:32 PM
hehe
I actually named a new pet this week after the villain from the first movie :slight_smile:
Eonwe ValarToday at 5:33 PM
I was out by Turbo, heh.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:33 PM
Remember Ivan Ooze?
Eonwe ValarToday at 5:34 PM
From the movie, aye :}
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:34 PM
Got an ooze with eyes from Horrific Visions.
Called it Eyevan Ooze.
Eonwe ValarToday at 5:34 PM
Hehe.
I got a pet of some sort this week from the Visions. Got a full clear. I guess Blizzard's pacing on them is pretty good since I can get as far as I need to each week, heh..
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:36 PM
Hah, yes. Got my first clear this week as well, though I had some orbs left. I'm not confident enough to go with the first mask though.
Eonwe ValarToday at 5:37 PM
I had some sanity to risk left at the end, but nowhere to risk it on, heh. Agreed about the first mask.
That's supposed to cut sanity in half as I recall, so not confident I'm having enough left over from a normal full clear to be risking it.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:38 PM
Hmm, indeed. But you still get 200 from elites and 100 from potions.
So it's not quite like you've got half the time.
Eonwe ValarToday at 5:39 PM
Yeah, but the potions are luck.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:39 PM
True.
Eonwe ValarToday at 5:41 PM
I've gone through visions not finding a new potion to refresh a buff in time, and sometimes found maybe one sanity restoring potion.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:41 PM
In all, best wait a few more ranks :slight_smile:
Eonwe ValarToday at 5:41 PM
hehe
I might try a mask next week, or this week if I'm needing something particularly challenging to clear my mind, hehe.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:47 PM
Heh, maybe. But the first mask still seems pretty annoying.
Eonwe ValarToday at 5:47 PM
Aye.
I need to look into that sanity-restoring food.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:47 PM
Ah yes, K'bab.
Me too.
Eonwe ValarToday at 5:48 PM
Have you tried the toy-guy in Stormwind yet btw? I gave him a go last week, won but didn't get anything.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 5:48 PM
Yeah, I did. Gave him the train thing to distract him, but next time I might as well just root him.
Eonwe ValarToday at 6:18 PM
Yeah, I ended up spending alot of time bringing him down because I didn't quite get the one that reduces his damage.
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 6:18 PM
Next week I'll try again :slight_smile:
Eonwe ValarToday at 6:18 PM
Anyway, I must be off, but before I do, I leave this. Not a talking sword, but a man talking to his sword: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPcWhLT6ysc

Personal gaming report!
For flashgaming, there were actually 4 badges of the day I didn't have yet this week, but one of them's buggy (controls don't always work) so here's the other 3!
Ar-Pharazon-VToday at 7:34 PM
https://www.kongregate.com/games/robotJAM/aliens-must-die-the-jupiter-wars is a simple-ish shooter game where you play a spaceship and have to shoot waves of enemies around you. Collect debris to get upgrades, as well as shield and health bonuses.

    Take control of the last starship and defeat endless rounds of alien bad guys, helped out by your co pilot annie.
See how far you get, maybe even win!

https://www.kongregate.com/games/Ragdollsoft/ragdoll-invaders is the second game, and rather weird... you play a ragdoll moving around oddly and shooting down spaceships (yes, it's alien week). Pretty difficult, maybe a bit frustrating :wink:

Blizzard gaming:
Heroes of the Storm:
One more level, to 390! Lucky hero this time around was Li Li, who is now level 14.
Hearthstone:
Had a quest for battlegrounds this week, still not very good at them. But apparently you can also concede and it'll count for the quest, so if I'm quite frustrated with it, that'll work :wink:
Brawl is more randomness! Shifting minions that turn into random minions every turn they're in your hand, and shifting spells that turn into random spells.
Need a good amount of luck to get good minions at the turns you're able to spend the mana to use them, but got it eventually :wink:
WoW:
For raiding, a bit of farming stuff on heroic. Also more normal, we got pretty far on the final N'Zoth fight. We definitely have the gear needed now, but the mechanics need some practice.
Fun fight though :slight_smile:
Necklace to 80, last stamina buff acquired! Getting more levels is good for ilevel which is good for essences I believe, but since it's infinite I can't really be bothered to grind any more than I get doing other stuff.
Cloak to level 12! Cleared all zones of the horrific vision for the first time to get that rank, which also gives a new passive ability on the cloak, which is quite good :slight_smile:
And enough mementos gotten through there to get the Gift of the Titans research talent, which makes the visions even easier!
Got the Anomalus pet along the way, which is a slime with eyes, hence the reference earlier :wink:
And since I cleared all the lost areas I got 2 more rank 2 essences from the visions, though I don't actually use these specific ones.
Weekly is battlegrounds, which was actually quite smooth! I went tank for them, which helped pretty well, since I had flags to fetch and bases to guard :wink: Got the 4 wins pretty quickly.
Also got to honor level... 64, I think? One more level anyway.
Got a new pet from expeditions, Scuttle the pirate crab, looks quite nice :slight_smile:
Finally, other projects also continuing! Unlocked Nigel Rifthold, a pet vendor in Drustvar, and got 5 new pets from him, including Smoochums, the fat ghost cat from an earlier questline.
After that, I decided to find a few Pepe appearances in Kul Tiras and Zandalar. First one was easy as alliance, but for the second one I had to sneak into Dazar'alor to get it.
Luckily I managed to grab the tiny voodoo mask for Pepe and get out alive with half a dozen guard npcs chasing me :wink:
And then I decided to tackle all the Jani quests I was missing in Zandalar. A bunch of miscellaneous quests from mysterous trashpiles all over the continent, which give quests to do. Got 5 more done in one night, leaving 2 more out of 12. After that, I'll reward myself with buying the Jani pet :wink:
And that's my report for the week!
Namarie!
