(Have fun reading this one everybody. I didn't log the very beginning, so I will post the recap. There is a lot going on at once.)
* Topic is 'armies are advancing, but Baranor and Draco have teamed up to defeat two of their stronger enemies. The great Saiven lays dead at the hand of Eleryn.
* PrinceLegolas lies curled next to eleryn, still dreaming of the stream tucked deep in the forest * Sphinx awakes in a different bedroom then he had fallen asleep in. He is not sure who moved him, nor does he care. He tries to stand, but finds his hurt leg stiffens and cramps. He hurts in ever single joint. After a few minutes though he is able to stand <Sphinx> What a day * Toby wakes up the next morning to find hobbits gathering at Brandy Hall with their ponies and travelling bags, makeshift weapons, etc. Hobbits can be seen in droves traveling through the hills from all directions * Aurora looks at Toby and smiles, she wasnt expecting such a large turn out, and hopes it will be enough * Sphinx goes out into the city, looking for something to drink and eat * Toby feels elated with joy at seeing all the hobbits, even the so-called non-adventurous ones coming to help <Toby> Aurora, not everyone is fighting with us, but many are helping. Some will be cooking, some are working on repairing and making weapons, some are lending ponies, and some are here to offer support and wish us well. * Kementari rides into Dol Guldur, looking for anyone that was still alive * Kementari dismounts Serke and walks around * PrinceLegolas still lies asleep * Sphinx remembers the events yesterday, especially the worm Saiven, and goes out to his body. He looks down at it and spits. He then draws his weapon and removes the corpses head. He puts the head in a bag and whistles loudly. A hawk comes flying to him and lannds on his arm. He whispers something inaudible and the hawk flies off with the bag * Sphinx sheeths his weapon and slowly walks/limps back to the city * Aurora nods "Its good to seem them, but we have to get going soon, before the sun gets too high" * Kementari goes to a small stream and kneels down beside it. She gets a few handfuls of water and splashes her face * Sphinx sees a small stream and walks over to it. He kneels down and dives his head in * Kementari hears a splash not far from her. She looks over to see Sphinx, but remains to herself. She takes her water pouch and begins to fill it with fresh water * Sphinx takes a few good big gulps of water and brings his head up <Sphinx> Ah, that feels better <Toby> We will move soon, I think, but most of the soldiers are insisting that we haven't enough food rations * Kementari glances at Sphinx and puts the lid back on her water pouch and slings it back over her shoulder <Aurora> Alright, we shall gather some more food, but quickly * Sphinx lays back on the grass, staring up at the sky <Sphinx> *thinking*This is a nice place, Mirkwood. The sky is clear and blue, of course when the trees aren't in the way, and the trees are big and beautiful. Well, there was that time me and Menel got stuck in the rain here, but that was a different day * Sphinx laughs heartily to himself * Kementari walks back to a tree, grabbing a few pebbles on the way. She climbs up to a low branch and sits there, throwing the pebbles into the water, watching the ripples

* PrinceLegolas lies next to eleryn, curled up for warmth <Toby> Aurora, we ought to give them the best second breakfast they've ever had before we leave, don't you think? * Kementari sighs and throws the last of the pebbles in at once, making a big splash * Sphinx gets splashed by that last rock <Aurora> I do think that would be the best idea <Sphinx> HEY!! <Kementari> Sorry. * Sphinx looks up at Kementari. He thinks back to his few happy days of his traveling with Menel, and he smiles <Sphinx> It's alright * Kementari jumps from the branch and has a seat on the bank of the stream * Toby watches the hobbits busy at work preparing everything needed for the make-shift army, "They aren't lacking in spirit Aurora, that almost makes me feel we didn't exactly tell them how serious this really is" <Toby> if they really knew, I wonder how many would have chosen to come <Aurora> I think we should stick to giving details later, dont you? * Sphinx looks over at Kementari <Toby> Or not at all? <Sphinx> So, how have you been since we met in Rivendell? <Sphinx> Not the White Council, the other time * Sphinx thinks back to his near execution <Kementari> I've been ok. Just traveling on mostly. <Kementari> And you? * Baranor continues trotting south, in the direction of Ithillien...he is joined by his fellow warriors Draco and Eoden * Sphinx nods, wondering why he is making small talk, and also why his small talk always involves death <Aurora> Now that you mention it, not at all is good as well *chuckles* <Sphinx> Hmm, alright I suppose. Lonely. * Kementari wonders what happened with Sphinx and Menel, but also wonders if this was the right time to ask * Londolin watches the elves talking quietly from afar * Sphinx sits back on the soft grass, smiling a little about his travels with Menel <Sphinx> You really look just like her * Toby smiles and then at notice of a Brandybuck he gives word to the soldiers to come inside for their 2nd breakfast, hopefully not their last meal *gulp* * Kementari looks away, "Yes, the only thing different is our eye color." <Sphinx> That is not the only thing * Sphinx ceases to smile and now looks more solemn and deep in thought, though he is really not <Kementari> Yes, I know. I was talking of facial features. But..if you don't mind me asking..what did you and her really go through? <Sphinx> Not much really. We only did about one spectacular thing <Sphinx> It was not what we went through as much as how I felt around her <Sphinx> I felt, oddly enough, at peace.

* Aurora follows the hobbits in to the eating hall, if everyone else gets a second breakfast she might as well too "Come on Toby, we're going to need this" <Sphinx> A few months I would say * Toby nods and eats only 4 cakes 3 sausages 5 eggs 3 tomatoes 15 mushrooms... Toby really isn't very hungry today * Kementari looks away from Sphinx and stares off into the water <Sphinx> I mean, I know you two were really young when she was taken to Mordor <Sphinx> And what happened to you? Were you captured as well? * Sphinx stops himself <Sphinx> I apologize, you don't have to answer <Kementari> No, it's all right. * Baranor waves the Red Ranger flag atop the citade <Kementari> Yes, we were young when she was taken and our parents killed. But after that attack I went to talk to Thranduil to build up the defences. But, he did not listen, so I left in search of her. I never found her, or heard about her until I met you outside of Rivendell. * Gurburtz advances off the Anduin and onto Rohan territtory <Gurburtz> Boys! Go quicker! The blood is waitin! <Sphinx> It wasn't her fault. The hand life dealt her was much to terrible for her at such a young age <Sphinx> I shall kill her and hopefully end her suffering. Maybe, just maybe, my blade can cleanse her soul <Kementari> Yes...maybe.. * Sphinx rubs his brow <Sphinx> I don't know. My blade is no longer pure enough, but I shall try * Toby looks across the table to Aurora and indicates with a gesture that he thinks it's time they wrapped up 2nd breakfast * Gurburtz reaches the central part of the Gap of Rohan where he sees a large group of Rohirrim set atop a hill <Gurburtz> They have more than I expected... * Gurburtz motions to his captain as he blows a horn <Sphinx> Well, we shall speak again. In the mean time I must find something to eat * Kementari nods to Sphinx * Gurburtz growls as his men charge at the Rohirrim * Theomere stands atop looks out over the orc hoards as he here's the horn blow. He orders his men to full charge <Theomere> DEATH! * Theomere charges the ranks of orcs * PrinceLegolas still lies sleeping * Gurburtz sees a young leader take charge <Gurburtz> I'll kill him... <Basanistes> #Menel, I need to see you in person# * Menel rides south with what's left of her amry, her beast hoovering overhead * Menel rolls her eyes, #Where are you?# * Theomere crashes into the the orcs, Deimos and Phobos drinking heavily of orc blood * Gurburtz heaves his pike through the flesh of a man, then pulls it out and jumps back * Gurburtz eyes the old leader Eomer from across the battlefield * Gurburtz walks slowly to wear he is fighting <Basanistes> #Don't you get cynical with me. I gave you life. I could easily take it away. I am in my tower# * Gurburtz growls, as he sees Eomer turn to him, sword in hand <Gurburtz> I will break you. * PrinceLegolas dreams of times past, and the stream, far the in forest <Basanistes> (Eomer)Have at me then, foul beast of Udun! * Gurburtz charges at Eomer * Aurora sits at the head of the table, looking at all the hobbits assembled there, she rises up and rouses the attention of all who dine within the great hall

* Gurburtz dodges a blow and takes a slice off Eomer's leg * Gurburtz jumps back * Menel dismounts Sereg and hands him over to an orc captain, threatening him if anything happened to him. She walks a good ways from her army and calls for her beast. As he swoops down, she climbs up onto him and flies to the tower <Aurora> *ahem* My dear hobbits, youve come here today for a noble cause...to help the fellow peoples of Middle Earth defeat a great evil. We will be traveling far and wide, there will be many horrific, bloody battles, some of you may live, some may be injured, and the majority of you will die. But remember this day, the day that hobbits, known for being quiet and minding their own business, came together as a whole, * Gurburtz charges again as he gets stab lightly in the arm... <Aurora> and defended the land and people they loved so much..... So what are we waiting for, drink up, we must take our leaves! * Gurburtz rips out the dagger and throws at at Eomer * Gurburtz 's dagger get's blocked...so Gurburtz charges * Basanistes awaits for Menel, his malice and anger growing by the minute * Menel flies in and lands in front of the tower * Gurburtz feels weakened...maybe the dagger blow was more than he thought * Gurburtz sees Eomer running at him, sword pointing towards his head * Toby notices that all the other hobbits are staring at Aurora with their mouths open and a few forks have dropped to the floor in a clatter .. so he stands up and does the slow-clap * Gurburtz growls and ducks, as Eomer over runs him * Menel leaves her beast and walks into the tower * Gurburtz heaves his heavy pike through the King's stomach, and out his back * Gurburtz laughs * Aurora laughs, slightly amused and downs the tankard infront of her * Basanistes is now known as Theomere * Gurburtz stabs it through again, and again, until the King falls dead to the ground * Theomere beheads two orcs as he sees his king die <Theomere> NNNNOOOOO!!!!!! * Gurburtz smiles, and shoves the pike through his throat * Gurburtz sees the young Rohirrim, and runs away for more blood * Theomere kills many orcs in a fury, Deimos and Phobos cutting limbs and heads with every swipe * Menel looks around as she enters the tower * Gurburtz advances over the hill and sees few Rohirrim left <Gurburtz> Finish em off boys! <Basanistes> How goes the battle in Mirkwood my dear * Basanistes stands up and walks over to Menel * Gurburtz kills another man as he sees a small group of Rohirrim retreat <Gurburtz> The battle is ours! <Theomere> Fall back to Helm's Deep!! <Theomere> FALL BACK! * Menel bows to Basanistes as she sees him, "Well...we had to retreat from the forests..for now. I need to gather a few more orcs to advance back into the forest." * Toby gets up and gathers his things, "We must go now" <Basanistes> *grins a little, hiding his anger* And what of Saiven? What of your second in command? <Menel> Last I saw him he had captured the young Prince of Mirkwood. But, I had matters to attend to and that was the last I saw him. <Basanistes> Ah, so he captured the young prince * Basanistes throws a bag to Menel <Basanistes> Open it * Menel catches the bag and looks at Basanistes * Menel slowly opens the bag and sees the back of a head. Though she could not see his face, she knew immediantly who it was

* Menel looks to the floor and ties the bag back up <Basanistes> I did not get a young prince of Mirkwood, nor did I get one of my captain's bodies <Basanistes> I got that bag, that head, and this note <Basanistes> *reads aloud* To Basanistes and Menel, your attempts to take Mirkwood are deafeated and will always be defeated. We are coming for you Necromancer. And Menel, Judgement is coming for you <Basanistes> I wonder who sent it * Menel sets the bag on a table and looks out the door <Menel> I know who sent it. * Hobbitry_in_Arms gathers outside with their bags and their ponies, it is early afternoon now but every hobbit has a useful weapon or two, every hobbit has a pony to ride, and all the goodbyes have been said. * Basanistes grabs Menel's neck and pulls her right up to his face, lifting her off the ground <Basanistes> I know you know who sent it <Basanistes> I am no fool! <Basanistes> You will take Mirkwood in this next battle, or I will let you join Saiven * Menel coughs once and grabs onto Basanistes's wrists * Gurburtz finishes the letter and sends it off to Basanistes * Basanistes throws Menel down. He smiles grimly "Dismissed" * Menel rubs her neck as she gets up and walks out with a dirty look on her face <Aurora> Alright, do you think we should move out now Toby? * Gurburtz writes "My Lord Basanistes, my orcs have taken Belfalas and Dol Amroth. Today we advanced into Rohan and gained control of the Gap...we ride for Helm's Deep tomorrow, and will have control of all of Rohan <Gurburtz> I hope this pleases you my Lord" * Menel mutters something under her breath as she mounts her beast * Gurburtz sends it off in a bird's mouth <Toby> The last I heard from the Council was that troops were gathering in Fangorn, we've brought enough food for the trip there at least. We should take the east-west road, and head towards Bree <Aurora> What are we waiting for then <Basanistes> Where is my demon? * Menel yanks the reins and heads back to the Brown Lands, where her army is waiting <Toby> They're waiting for you Aurora, since you gave the speech they look at you like a leader. * Basanistes is given another note by a bird. He takes the note and breaks the bird's neck * Basanistes reads the note <Aurora> Me? A leader? Maybe I gave the wrong speech. <Basanistes> Good job. You, orc captain, send your ships to the Gap of Rohan and give Gurburtz some reinforcements * Menel soars over her army, only now seeing how many they lost <Toby> If you ride, they'll follow you * Aurora gets on her pony and makes sure all her supplies are in order, looks behind at her fellow hobbits and takes off down the road, Toby at her side * Menel lands her beast and looks to the orc captain * Iaurlom stands a ways off of the Great Lord of the Dark, Lord Basanistes, and waits to accept her orders for battle <Basanistes> Where is she? Where is my Balrog? * Basanistes sees Laurlom and walks over to her <Iaurlom> Here Lord Basanistes

<Basanistes> I have a special task for you. I need you to burn Lorien <Menel> We are too few on numbers to try and take the forest again. Take a small group out and scout these lands. Return with all you find. <Basanistes> No, not Lorein <Basanistes> I need you to burn Fangorn <Basanistes> Burn it to the ground <Basanistes> Kill all the ents * Menel watches as the orcs leave. All she can do now is wait until they return with more * Iaurlom grins, if her dark twisted smirk could be called such * Toby riding along the east-west road with the Old Forest to our.. right. * PrinceLegolas lies asleep, dreaming of the same old thing * Draco looks out over the fields of South Ithilien. He can see that the spiders and orcs are in large number here < Draco> We don't have the numbers * Baranor looks to Draco "We have too few.." <Baranor> We must trust our men. Let us ride to a victory! * Draco looks over at a ridge * Fiwen sees Draco and Baranor not too far off. She draws her second blade and makes for them * Ardae looks behind him, and sees the strength of the Havens. Being not as much as it once was, it would still help to fight the darkness.. Fangorn is in sight now, hardly but in sight.. * Ardae is now known as Terrisen < Draco> Wait my lord, straight forward attack will just get us killed < Draco> Trust me and my rangers * Baranor nods..."The ridge!" < Draco> We can even the odds * Toby sees an odd figure in the road up ahead, he's traveling by pony, but he's certainly larger than a hobbit, but not quite tall enough to be a man. "Aurora! Up ahead!" * Fiwen mounts her horse and rides to Draco's side, "What do you plan to do now?" * Aurora looks as far as she can ahead and swears she sees a person on a pony with yellow boots and a blue jacket...."No, it cant be...." * eleryn wakes up. She sits up and looks around, legolas is still asleep. She cant see sphinx, or oulinel * Draco gets his rangers together, only about 21 left * Terrisen looks down at her right arm and sees the thin slice in it.. she hardly missed the last arrow.. <Toby> What in the world is that Aurora, friend or foe?? <Eoden> Baranor: I lead my men at the charge to the flank...you lead yours to the ridge. We will meet in the middle and kill the large one. * Terrisen comes up to Draco < Draco> No my lord, you must wait a little <Aurora> I believe its friend......Tom Bombadil.... * Luinel sees eleryn wake up "What were you dreaming?" * Fiwen looks at Terrisen as she rides up < Draco> I plan to lure a few into the ridge. Make it look like your men are retreating. When you run we will fire <Eoden> Baranor: Why? The longer we wait the more Rohirrim get killed by the second! <Eoden> Ah, I like it. < Draco> Once we have divided the forces, we hit them hard <Toby> He really does exist then? The stories are true? * Luinel is so lost why she was beeing acttacked last night < Draco> Doesn't matter if we are outnumbered, in the forest we rangers have the advantage <Eoden> Come my friend, to a swift victory we ride! < Draco> We will divide and conquer * eleryn looks confused. "I had a bad dream... about Saiven."

Hit the spiders and more important looking orcs * Terrisen nods * PrinceLegolas rasps as he speaks, and just switches to mind-speak instead of using his damaged throat * Fiwen goes back behind a rock, just under the trees * Draco knocks back three arrows and prepares to fire, eyeing three diferent spiders * Baranor flings an arrow into a spider and yells to his men "Fall back!" * Baranor points his sword Draco, signaling him on" * Baranor is now known as Eoden < Draco> FIRE! * Fiwen positions herself behind the rock and takes aim on a spider * Eoden lets go as 3 arrows plunge into 3 different spiders * Terrisen reaches her bow and nocks an arrow in to position and fires * Draco fires his three arrows, each one hitting a spider in the head * eleryn offers him some water <TomBombadil`> I thought you ought to know, a most unexpected thing has happened, and it will most certainly bloke your path.

How many Wights?" <Eoden> (Ahh...) * TomBombadil` bows to the hobbitry-in-arms and smiles warmly at them, "Aye Aurora, but if you listen to anything I might say, listen to just this, try not to rush, there is nothing to win in haste, and nothing to fear in retreats, for some things, the dawn of the new day can change the outcome of any battle." <Eoden> Fiwen! Don't go! You're too strong! * Terrisen turns in to Eoden's shoulder stiffiling sobs * Draco puts his head on Fiwen's cold shoulder, still chanting in sobs * Eoden feels a tear drop down his cheek * Eoden holds Terrisen's head tightly as he looks to the sky * Eoden chants in Elvish <Aurora> *nods* <TomBombadil`> Oh Aurora, I'd say a good 200 of them, but they needn't be fought at once! * Eoden breaves heavily < Draco> NO!
