<<Middle Earth: A LOTR RP blog. Samwise and Frodo version>>

Splendid! Splendid! *smiles at both legolas and the dwarf* Well then, let's be off. We have lots of ground to cover before tea and snack time.

<<--off we go-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*walks around the room waiting on Saurman's return. curiously inspects the books and parchments that are lying around. feels anxious.* What is taking him so long? I need to talk with him!

<<--looking for saurman-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

#4*turns to the troll* I also smell elfin flesh and...*sniffs* flesh of something I don't know. *grins at the other orcs* But what I do know that it smells sweet, very, very sweet.

<<--hobbits??-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*looks at Eomir and returns the smile* It's good to be back. I hope you're father is well. *gives his mount to a stable hand* I'm anxious to see him.

<<--heh heh more posion-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*rushes towards Goldberry* Oh my dear, you don't know how worried I was about you! There is great evil here. Quickly, we must pack! We must go to Treebeard! He will protect us!

<<--hurry, we must get to Fanghorn-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*gives the dwarf a look before smiling at Bilbo* Then we're off then. *helps Bilbo to his feet* I hope we dont' run into anything else on this journey.

<<--i fear more evil afoot-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*comes across her brothers* Do you hear them? The orcs and trolls, I mean. *looks around, on guard* I like this not. Not ten minutes ago did Aragorn depart this place. I hope he does not get ambushed by these foul creatures. I fear for his saftey! I pray you! Come with me to his aid!

<<--worried about Aragorn!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*breathes a sigh of relief* I am glad that my counseller has returned! *smiles kindly at Eowyn* An old man like me needs all the advice he can get!

<<--wormtongue has poisoned his mind!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*looks at the orc who had spoken* You are right. There is man flesh carried on the air. *grins a foul smile* I hope there are many of them... then we shall have a good supper tonight.

<<--mmmmmm.... man!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*looks back over his shoulder across the bridge of Hobbiton as Frodo speaks quickly with the man* Rose... I wonder how long I'll be gone? When will I see you again? Mr. Frodo, when we reach Bree, you will tell us what this is all about, won't you?

<<--rose...-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*releases Gollum* Good...gooooddd! Gettt mee sommmee goodd flesh! Ifff you don'ttt hurrry, I''lll commme afttter youuu and eeattt youu!

<<--I hungry!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*walking in the woods and stops* Wait! Do you hear that Elladan? It sounded like...*grabs his bow and glares* Orcs...

<<--Ack! There be orcs around yo!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Wormtongue has returned? *looks at her with a faint smile* I shall escort him in. *bows at Theoden and walks out* Where has he been? I don't trust him..but Theoden does...if only Wormtongue didn't have him around his finger...perhaps I can stop it. *sees Wormtongue dismount from his horse.* Ah, Grima Wormtongue. Welcome, welcome back...*gives him a tight grin*

<<--i don't like you-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*smiles at the human* we are in a hurry. we need to reach Bree; however, we will keep an eye out for your uncle along the way.

<<--we can't dolliegag hobbits.-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*just burst into the room where Eomer and Theoden are talking. puts on a bright smile for her father. walks over to him and gives him a curtsy.* Father, Wormtongue has returned.

<<--is this good news or bad news??-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*waches Celeborn talking to his elves.* there is great evil here. it's in the trees, the wind. *shudders* i fear that the elves will have to rise up and fight..again.

<<--so much for peace-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*stops for a bit and smiles at the hobbit* i am following my future husband. he is leaving hobbiton. i must stop him! please excuse me. i think he's right over that bridge.

<<--sam...wait up!!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*smiles warmly at Gandalf* Come my friend. i know i can convience him to join us. what power we will have! *ushers Gandalf inside. hears sauron calling him.* yes master *smiles weakly at gandalf as he ushers him in an old library of some sort.* Please make yourself comfortable. I'll go get us some tea. *closes the door and runs to the pilantir* Yes master?

<<--what do you want??? i'm busy here!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*halts and sniffs the air. turns to his hunting companions* I smeeeeelllll maaaaaaannnn.

<<--uh oh...aragorn-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*sees Rose running by* Whoa there, young Rose. Where are you going? You know that brigde goes outside of Hobbiton. *sees her looking slighty upset* What's wrong?

<<--where are you going?-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*whispers to Pippin* You know we shouldn't talk to strangers...*looks up at the man* but he does need help. *smiles at him* But you have the right idea Pip. Ok, Mr. perhaps your uncle went to the nearest town?

<<--hmm, I have to help this guy!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Oh hullo there! *smiles at the man* Nope we haven't see your uncle. Where did you last see him? *notices Sam and Frodo are looking at him oddily* What...? Did I do something wrong?

<<--what do you mean I shouldn't stop to talk to strangers?-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*rides towards the city of Bree, where Gandalf arranged for the meeting* I regret to leave behind that fair elf yet again... every parting I endure becomes harder. But ho! What's this? *slows the horse's gallop and observes a troop of orcs and trolls lurching past* This bodes ill. I must see where these creatures of darkness are headed. I hope dearly that Rivendell is not their target.

<<--sees some bad news!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

hrrrumm... *feels anger building* These orcs are destroying our herds! I must call an entmoot. I cannot allow this to go on any longer. Hrooom hum....

<<--now is a good time to be hasty!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*gazes into the outlet of the Pilantir* SERVANT! *is summoning Sauriman to him* Pathetic little wizard pawn. He thinks he can trick me once he gets a chance, and that he may take the power of my ring for himself. Yes... I see into his mind. But for the time being, I will allow him to live. He is still useful. If only I had my ring of power... then I would not have to rely on a foolish wizard.

<<--being evil!!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Yes, your magisty! *bows low and then dashes out on his nimble feet to saddle a horse. In a few moment, he takes off towards Isenguard* Whoo hoo! Lord Celeborn sent me on a mission! I've been acknowledged!

<<--off!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Now where could he be? Uncle? Uncle?? Where are you?? I told him that gold piece wasn't worth him coming back here for. We should have stayed on track to Bree. *sighs* That was quite a fight we had. I reckon I shouldn't have let him gone back alone. Uncle? Where are you? Where is he? *sees four small men...or are they hobbits??* i think i'll ask them if they have seen my uncle. *starts walking towards the hobbits.

<<--have you seen my uncle?-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*smiles at his friends* Okay then. We all go. *looks at Pippin* From now on, I will be known as Mr. Underhill. *stares out towards Bree and sighs.* I guess we better get started. *starts walking towards Bree*

<<--we're off to bree-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Don't worry, *softly whispers to Galadriel. goes over to one of his guards* Go as fast as the wind to Orchthanac. Catch up with Mithrandir and warn him. Hurry, he mustn't meet with Saruman! Saruman is not our friend! HURRY.

<<--i'm on it galadriel-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

#3*snears* want to take the matter up with Ugulk? No? *snarls* then SHUT UP!

<<--chop chop chop-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

#2*draws out his axe and starts hacking at a tree. grumbles to his companion* Why do we have to do all the dull work? I want to hunt elves.

<<--all i do is hack trees-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

#1*grunts at Ugulk* Right away master. *takes off looking for elves.* i love elf flesh

OOC: This is random orc #1. I numbered them so you can tell them apart.

<<--elves, elves, i want elves-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Where is he? *hears Tom scream her name* Tom?? TOM? *runs towards his voice* I'm over here Tom!! Are you ok?

<<--where are ya Tom?-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*stops in Fangorn and glares at the Trees* Lord Saurman, wants us to chop these trees down. I HATE them!! *wipes out a mean looking axe* I command you to bring them down!! *points at a random Orc* You there! Search the area for elves. If you find any, bring it's head to me. *laughs evily* Get to work, before I chop all your heads off!!

<<--chop those trees!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Yes, of course. I shall go with you. That was a close call. *looks at Legolas* Thanks to you, that beast is no worry, but I could have gotten the job done. *looks back at Biblo.* I'm afraid I shall go halfway with you. My business is not in Rivendell. Are we ready to go then?

<<--I could have handled it..-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*sees the troll fixing to chop him up. darts around the elf and dwraf. breathes a sigh of relief when Legolas kills him. hears what Legolas said. smiles and clasps his hand* I thank you young elf. *looks at the dwarf expecting his response.*

<<--are you coming with us??-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*reaches rohan. sees Eowyn going in the fortress. grins wickedly.* i think i shall ask Saurman for Eowyn as a reward for my good service. *giggles gleefully as he heads towards Theoden*

<<--Ah Eowyn, my pretty-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*sees Orcthanac up ahead. spurs Shadowfax on. sees Saruman coming out to greet him. smiles* now why do i have a bad feeling about this? *dismounts and goes up to Saruman. shakes his hand.* Saruman, I must speak with you!

<<--something is wrong here??-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*nearly faints with relief as the evil black rider rides away. eyes grow big with horror* GOLDBERRY!!!! I must get to Goldberry!!! *takes off running*

<<--hold on dear, i'm coming!!!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*sees the troll's attack. quickly draws his bow and shoots and arrow in the beast's eye. as the monster stumbles backwards, shoots another arrow in the creature's throat killing the thing. goes over and retrieves both arrows. looks back at Bilbo* The roads are dangerous. I will accompany you to Rivendell.

<<--i hate trolls-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*hisses at Tom and rears up to his full dark height* Liesss... *takes off on his steed in fury*

<<--hsss...-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*smiles at Elrohir* Well, if anyone would know where Aragorn is, it would be our sister, Arwen. I saw her not long ago on the outskirts of the city. Come!

<<--the twins are off!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*Was lurching through the forest, when it happens to cross a hobbit, dwarf, and elf all together* What's this?? *raises sword as he comes into their view* Appetizer, main course, and dessert, that's what! *grunts*

<<--not too bright to attack them...-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*squirms under the grip of the dreadful spider* We hears! Yess, we hears the nice lady. Nice, nice lady... we will go! We will find the nice lady the food... we promises! Yes, we does, we does! We promises! The lady doesn't want to eat Gollum! Gollum isn't good! No, not good at all, we isn't. We will bring you the nice flesh! We promises, we does!

<<--squirmy!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Son of the Steward of Gondor? Aren't you far away from your lands? *looks at him suspiciously* Son, don't trust them to much...

<<--I'm suspicious-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Just a dwarf? *gets a little huffy* I'll have you know that we dwarfs are very stout in battle. *notices that he has offered his hand* But still, greetings Boromir. I'm Gimli, son of Gloin. And this is *nods his head off to Gloin* is my father. What is your business?

<<--don't jugde my size...-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*hears a noise and grabs the hilt of his sword* We have barely left Gondor and we have already ran into Mordor's forces? *sees a small dwarf* Oh thank goodness. It's only a dwarf. *smiles broadly and offers out his hand as a greeting* I am Boromir, son of Denenorth, steward of Gondor. Greetings fellow dwarf!

<<--hello dwarf-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Areeee youuu lisstenning to me? Maybeeee I sssshould eeatt youuuu nowwww. Areee youu sweeter thannn orccc flesh? I wannntt ttooo eatt swwweett meeeat!

<<--yum, sweet meat...-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*looks out her kitchen window and sees Frodo, Merry, Pippin, and SAM talking in the distance.* that's odd. they shouldn't be that far from town. *sees them leave* why, they are going the wrong way! they are going further from town. hmmmmm, that doesn't seem like a thing a hobbit would do, especially samwise. they haven't gone too far away. i think i'll just run and catch up. bring sam back before HE goes too far.

<<--don't leave!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*watches her brother leave* he is so lucky. he's never been in love with someone who doesn't love you back. *sighs again. sees dust in the distance.* looks like a rider. i wonder who it is? *recognizes the rider as he draws near.* oh it's just wormtongue. he's coming back. i'll tell father.

<<--is lovesick-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*looks through the palantir. sees wormtongue riding towards rohan. smiles. the palantir goes cloudy and now sees gandalf heading his way. smiles even more* Yes, Gandalf the Gray, come. We have so much to talk about.

<<--i'm waiting-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

I wonder where Arwen is. Perhaps she has meet up with Aragorn. *sighs and stares below where his sons are* They must help him find Mithrandir...or all shall be lost. *looks at the sky and stares in the direction of Mordor* If only...he destroyed the ring when I told him..*rubs his brows together*

<<--bad memories are flooding back-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Ah, air is quite different out here than in our caves, don't you say father? *walks along in the woods and hears a strange noise* What was that? *grabs his axe* Perhaps it's an orc. My axe has been feeling quite restless...

<<--who is out there?-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Of course we still want to go with you! Right fellows? *gives Frodo a broad smile* We shall protect you!! *ignores Sam's snicker* Anyway, what is your new name? I think we should call you...um Mr. Underhill? What do you say?

<<--I'm not afraid, so let's go!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*laughs wickedly* I hope we run into man. Man flesh tastes much more better than elf flesh. *grins evilly.* man flesh is much more sweeter.

<<--a hunting we will go-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Celeborn! *runs to her husband* I just saw the face Mithrandir. I think he's in trouble! What shall we do??

<<--no mithrandir, don't go to orcthanac-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Th..the Shire?? *gulps* I..I don't believe I know the name, good sir. I can't tell this monster where the loveable hobbits live.

<<--an unexpected protector-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*smiles gleefully* Why I believe you're a Mirkwood elf! Welcome, welcome! *looks at the dwarf* I am traveling to Rivendell. You both are welcomed to join me. *looks at the dead human* As a matter of fact, I would cherish the company. You never know what you might run into traveling alone.

<<--will you come with me??-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*closes eyes and sees the face of Galadriel. eyes snaps open!* There is evil afoot. I must consult with Saruman!

<<--heads to orcthanc-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*turns around and sees Sam* Sam! You cannot come with me. *sees Merry and Pipin joining the group* I guess it will be useless to tell all of you to stay behind. *sighs* I'm going on an adventure. I'm on my way to Bree. But it maybe a very, very dangerous journey. No one must know my name. *partially explains* Okay, do you still want to come with me??

<<--let's go to Bree-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

The elves have been here! Thank you so much...*lifts his sword and whacks off the orc's head* Come!! We hunt now!! Kill the elves!!! *runs off into the woods of Fangorn*

<<--and off went his head-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*sees Legolas coming* Whoa there elf! What is your business here? *touches his axe by his side* If you have none, then be own your way. This hobbit and I were just discussing something.

<<--I don't trust elves...-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Something is wrong with Frodo? *runs after Sam and Pippin* What is it Sam? *sees Frodo up a head* Hey!! Frodo!! Stop for a bit!!!

<<--don't leave us behind!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*opens his eyes* Hroom hum... *looks out towards Isenguard's territory* Sauruman has been up to deeds fouler than I care to think of. It seems the neighbor to the ents will turn traitor soon... *sigh* But I mustn't be hasty. As long as our herds are safe, then all is well.

<<--hoom hrum..-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*smiles* Ah, Eomer, my sister-son. How are you? It seems a long time since your last visit. *stares out the window* It is strange. I feel as though I have a bit more energy than I did when Grima Wormtongue was here...

<<--dazed-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Pippin! Merry! Come, we must go after Frodo! *still running on his stubby hobbit legs* Something is wrong! MASTER FRODO! Wait for us!

<<--shouldn't run right after second lunch...-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*halts its horse and sniffs the air closely, very near to Tom* hissss... *looks down at Tom Bombadil with it's hooded shadow of a face* Shire.... where is the shire?

<<--Baggins...-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*smiles at Eowyn* Well, I hope you feel better at least. *looks at Mount Doom* I think I shall talk to Theoden now. Good bye dear sister. *walks away and enters the castle* Theoden! *bows and walks up to him* How are you today? *looks around the room suspiciously* Hmmm, that Wormtongue isn't here...good...I know he tells him lies...

<<--good day good Theoden-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Sauron! And the ring! *looks out into the distance* That means the orcs will be moving. They may come here. *looks back at Galadriel* I will rally our forces. *snears* Not a single orc will enter our forest!

<<--ready to defend-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*smiles weakly* Oh don't fret about me brother, dear. I know you have more important things to worry about. *looks towards Mount Doom* There's evil brewing. I can feel it.

<<--sigh....Aragorn...-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*rides hard back to Rohan.* Yes, Saruman, I will not fail you. I've already got Theoden thinking he's too old for many things. I will make sure that he gives me the power to control his kingdom!

<<--heh heh heh-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

What is that strange sound? *looks out the window and sees a dark horse in the distance* Oh NO! Is that what I think it is? I have to get out of here and find Tom! *runs out the back door and in the opposite direction the rider was* Where is he? I thought he would be over here!

<<--scared..very scared-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Oh dear. Our mushrooms are almost gone. I guess he took them...*sighs and stares longily at the bush that once had them* Well, what do we do now Merry? *sees Sam run by* Hey! Sam! Where are you going? *runs after Sam* Come on Merry!

<<--hey sam!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*was hurrying home when suddenly is struck by a sudden chill. stops. fears grips his heart. knows he has to hide and hide right now! jumps into the bushes. tries to calm down as he hears a horse drawing near. holds breath and squeezes eyes shut...to terrified to move. hears horse passing by. dares to take a look.* What is that? It looks like....oh NO! A black rider!

<<--Goldberry!!!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*looks at Celeborn* You're right. Let's go to the Seeing Waters. *hurries outside to the ancient fountain. pours water into it and looks. gasps. looks at Celeborn with terrified eyes* He's back! Sauron is back! *swallows* And so is the ring!

<<--uh oh...trouble??-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*sighs as she watches Sam run after Frodo* well at least he enjoyed second lunch with me. now if i can only get him to dance with me at the Harvest Fevistal. *smiles* i'll wear my prettiest dress and stay near him. if Sam doesn't get the message...well then I'll ask him to dance. *giggles at her idea*

<<--goes to clean up the kitchen-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*runs up to Ugluk.* Loookkk massssssterrrrrr! It beeeeelongssssssss to the elvessssss. *shows him the piece of silver* Theeey haaave beeeeeeen heeeeerreeee!

<<--see what i have-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*watches the random human from afar.* he should get out of here. i will warn him. *hears someone rushing into the bushes. turns and sees Bilbo hiding. turns back towards the human. eyes grow big as he sees the black rider kill the random human. sighs heavily* i didn't get a chance to draw my bow. *watches the black rider take off, disappearing down the road.* must stop this evil *hears a voice in Bilbo's direction. turns head* a drawf! *scowls and goes over to Bilbo*

<<--don't like dwarfs-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Brother! There you are. Father has told us to find Aragorn. We must help him find Mitrhandir. Let us go!

<<--we have to find Aragorn.-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*smiles at his brother* You are right Faramir as usual. But you did always have a good head on your shoulders. Well I'm off then. When I return, I'll have a great army for Gondor to defeat the evil forces of Mordor! Farewell brother, and keep the White Tower safe! *dashes off*

<<--going off to rivendell-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*stretches his arms and gets up* That was a nice rest. Well, I'm off. *sees a shadow walking along the road* Hmmm who is that? I'll go see. *runs over to the shadow and realizes it's a hobbit* Well hello there, little fellow. What are you doing?

<<--hi little halfling-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*sees Gollum crawling about* Aren't you a pathetic creature...you would maaaakeee a woonnndderful snnnack! *smacks feelers together* Hmmmmmmm you are a tinnny morseeelll though. Telll me, cccannn you gettt meee something morreee tassty? If you ddddon'ttt, thennn I'll eat you rrrright heereee.

<<--here's another evil release on middlearth-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

It's such a lovely day outside, Rose. Why don't we take a walk? *the two of them have finished second lunch. Sam walks ahead and looks outside, to see Frodo rushing by* Uhh... on second thought, Rose, I think I should go! I'm sorry! *runs out after Frodo* Master Frodo! Wait up!

<<--following-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*sitting atop his golden throne, looking like a withered old man* if only... if only I was young again. But Grima Wormtongue is right. I am too old to do anything concerning the matters of the outside world. I wish my Sister-son or sister-daughter were here... then at least I would have some company.

<<--feeling feeble-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*has been released from the black gates of Mordor, batterd and broken* My precious... must find.... my precious.... *begins a desperate, aimless crawl*

<<--Precious...-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*whacks the head off of the innocent random human* Near... ring is near.... *galloping swiftly to meet with the other Nazgul*

<<--eeeviiiil....-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*goes to the door. sees Frodo coming up walk* Frodo my boy! Come in, come in. *holds door open.* Um, Frodo I have many things to tell you. *explains Bilbo's departure. is sadden by the sorrowful expression in Frodo's eyes.* You must understand Frodo. Bilbo must finish his travels. *smiles* He must. And oh, he left you a present. A ring. *shows Frodo where it is on the floor* Go ahead and pick it up. *watches Frodo carefully* I think that's a very evil ring. Throw it into the fire. *pulls it out of the fireplace with tongs.* Frodo, look at it. Do you see symbols? *heart sinks when Frodo nods head.* Then we must leave my boy and we must leave now. Keep the ring a secret. Take it to Elrond, to Rivendell. I will meet you at Bree. I must go for now. Frodo, pack! You must leave NOW!

<<--and away we go-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Man! I know that I left it around here somewhere; but where? *searches the road. realizes how far away from Bree he is.* Wow! I don't think that I came this far. *hears a horse softly neighing.* Wonder who that is? Probably another weary traveler. *Cautiously peers into the woods.* Hello? Anybody there? *suddenly struck by fear.* Maybe it's a robber. Better hide. *sees the dark rider. looks into its hooded face and is paralized by fear.*

<<--must run...but legs won't work-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*has left Hobbitton and the Shire. feeling energerized and melancholy at the same time.* I hope Gandalf fully explains to Frodo why I left. Frodo's a good boy, he'll understands. *sees something dark up ahead. it radiates sinster vibes. shudders* I think I'll go into the woods and avoid that thing. *walks into the woods.*

<<--too old for fighting evil things-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Yes father! Just let me grab my axe. *runs and picks it up* Ah, my faithful axe. I can't wait to slay some orcs with you. *swings it around a bit and runs back to his father* I'm ready! Let's go!

<<--gotta love the axe!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Son! We must go to the meeting with...*pauses and sighs* the elves. The shall discuss the upcoming evil. Come, let's hurry to Rivendell. The quicker we leave, the quicker we can do something!

<<--elves...don't like them, but will work with them.-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*sees his sister wandering about in the gardens* Sister? What has trouble you so? Your eyes reveal a great sadness. Perhaps you can tell me? I do not like to see you so upset.

<<--knows something is up-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*is flying far above the dark land of Mordor upon his winged horse* ssssss.... Soon.... the mortals will all be destroyed quite soon... ssssss.... we will crush them... *heading towards a definate destination*

<<--mysterious-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

I'm afraid you're only half right, my lady. It was not mere chance that brought me here, indeed, I was to meet a certain individual not far from here. My errand does not lie in the fair Rivendell, however, and with matters as they are, I fear I will find no comfort there save you yourself. *shakes head* I must continue on to meet with a dear friend of mine- a wizard the elves call Mitrhandir. *smiles sadly* Alas, our scheduled meeting point is not near here, and not for several days. My journey will take me away from your home, so we must again part.

<<--Has a meeting with Gandalf in a few days!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Why won't you come back with me to Rivendell a while? *traces finger around Aragorn's hand, and locks eyes with him* I know it wasn't mere chance that brought you to these roads that are so near to my home. So come... you may find rest here.

<<--stay!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*staring out beyond the borders of Rivendell with a disturbed expression on his face* There is much darkness creeping over this land. Perhaps that is the reason that the elves are leaving over the gray havens...? *sighs*

<<--somber-->>

*watches Boromir pace around him* Brother... I know that you are impatient, but have heart! I am sure that the wise Elrond will have fair counsel to give us. But alas! I do not think I am able to accompany you to Rivendell. I must remain here, and keep Gondor safe. *puts his hand on Boromir's shoulder* I have great faith in you. You will be fine on your own.

<<--encouraging Boromir!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Ahhhh Wormtongue, it's about time you came. *lightly bangs his staff on the floor* I want you to go back to Rohan. Since you are very close to Theoden, I want you to advise him. I want you to convince the King of Rohan to let you handle the affairs of the throne. No GO!

<<--evil schemes-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*sighs as she lazily walks through the gardens* I wonder where Aragorn is right now? Oh how I miss him. *sighs again as she lightly fingers a rose blossom.* I hear he has a lady love, an elf. I also hear elves are a beautiful race. And I am nothing but a mere human. How can I compete with such a magical creature as an elf?

<<--Aragorn...*sigh*-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*blushes and serves sam a huge second lunch. joins him at the table.* I hope you enjoy your meal, Sam. I like a hobbit who can eat. *softly giggles and lightly touches his hand.* I'm so glad that you were free for having second lunch with me, *whispers softly near his ear* I LOVE having you here.

<<--you didn't have another appointment or something?-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*is walking fast...feeling evil surrounding him. hears a twig snap. ducks behind some trees and peers out* What evil is this? A dark rider! And it's looking for something. Better keep an eye on it!

<<--ugh ! a dark rider-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*hurries into Orcthanac.* I hope Saruman isn't too angry with me. I came as soon as I heard him call. I wonder what deeds he has for me. *grins wickedly* whatever it is...i hope it's evil *snickers*

<<--yes master, i'm coming-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*sighs* well, i've looked for sam everywhere. the only place i haven't looked is at rose's house. *grins* and if he's there, then i won't disturb him. looks at the sky. Oh my goodness. I'm late. *runs towards bilbo's hobbithole.* oh i hope gandalf isn't too mad at me.

<<--yikes!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*walks slowly around* hmmm, there's something evil afoot. i can feel it in these trees. i can hear it in the wind. better get back to goldberry.

<<--hurries on home-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*presses his brow with his fingers* I have felt it too Elrohir. And I'm afraid you are right about Rivendell. But do not give up hope. *smiles briefly and looks at him* I want you and Ellandan to go find Aragorn. Tell him to talk with Gandalf. He knows what to do.

<<--hope isn't lost yet-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Father, I sense a great evil and I fear it's getting stronger. *stares at the magestic trees of Rivendell* I'm afraid even Rivendell won't be a safe haven for long. *sighs and looks at him* Father?

<<--what's up pop?-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*paces around the room* We must do something brother! I don't like waiting around while Sauron gathers his forces against us! Father won't like this, but I'm going with the men. They think this Elrond fellow will know what to do. *sighs and stares at Faramir* Would you like to come with us? It's better than doing nothing.

<<--wants action, not sitting-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Merry! Pippin! For goodness sakes lads, what are you doing? *walks over to them and looks at Bilbo's door* That's quite rude. Anyway, I found these really delicious mushrooms in the bushes...*watches them run off* Now where are they going? *sighs and leaves Bilbo's doorstep* Young hobbits these days...I swear...

<<--I found some mushrooms!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

hmmm, what was in that dark pit? i sense great evil there. since it's close, i will go to rivendell and consult with elrond. he'll know what to do.

<<--another elf off to rivendell-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*listens to Galadriel.* This is not good, *he says to his wife.* Do you see anything? Shall we consult the Seeing Waters?

<<--worried-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*answers the door* Gandalf! My old friend. It's good to see you. Come in, come in. *ushers the old wizard in his hobbit hole* Second lunch is almost ready. *smiles* Frodo told me of your meeting. I'm glad that you've come. I'm leaving to go to live with the elves in Rivendell. Elrond invited me many times. *sighs* I don't think I'll be returning. I plan on leaving everything to Frodo. He's a good lad you know. But I'm not waiting for him to return. I'm leaving now. You'll tell him won't you Gandalf? I know you'll understand. *gathers his things* Oh yes, there's one more item I must give him. It's this. *pulls a plain golden ring out of his pocket. stares at it for a long moment. notices Gandalf looking at him funny.* well, give it and everything else to Frodo. *drops the ring on the floor and hastily leaves.*

<<--off to rivendell-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*riding swiftly on his horse, heading towards Rivendell* Along my travels, I have seen many signs of the evil Uruk-Hai afoot, as well as things fouler than I would name... I must inform Lord Elrond!

<<--off!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*gazes with his great eye out among Middle Earth* I must find it... the ring of power. But what is this? The forces of men near the borders of Mordor think they can rally against me? Hah. If I had my ring of power, I would not have to bother with those infintesimal mortals...

<<--STARING....-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Hiiiiisssss.... *riding along, sniffing the air* The riiinnng.... It is somewhere... close. *heading straight for Hobbiton, simply by following it's nose*

<<--Riiing....-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*blushes at Rose's offer* Well... I... Sure! I'll stay and eat with you! I'm sure Master Frodo will understand why I couldn't join him... And it's not like I can pass THIS up! *smiles shyly at Rose*

<<--Nervous, but hungry!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Where is that idiot! I told him to scout the area for elves. *scowls and roars at the rest of the orcs* If he doesn't come back here soon, I shall kill the whole lot of you and ground your bones!!!

<<--not in a good mood!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Hmmm, the woods seem to be upset. I wonder why. Perhaps Tom will know. *opens the door and stares at the forest* I bet he's off somewhere. I guess I'll have to wait until he gets back. *sighs and shuts the door* I wish we would get some company. We haven't had any in a long time.

<<--upset woods and lonely Goldberry...-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*wanders about inside the dark pit* always serving the master! *sees a shiney stone.* what's that?? i like shiney things. *picks it up and realizes that it's a piece of silver.* silver? *growls looking around clutching his sword* an elf has been here!

<<--sound the alarm-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*wallks softly through the forest. looks around. goes over to the ancient fountain* hmmmm, i sense great evil afoot. *gently swirls the bottom of the fountain with her finger. stares unseeingly at the water.* i know there's great evil here. i can feel it. *hurries back to her great tree.* i must talk with Celeborn

<<--uh oh...something is wrong-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Hang on Merry! Where are we going to put these mushrooms? *looks around and sees some bushes* I'll put them here. Ok, let's see who is knocking on Bilbo's door. *walks up there and sees Gandalf* Why hullo Gandalf! What are you doing here?

OOC: Glad you like the layout! This rp is going to be fun!! ^___^

<<--hullo there!-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Phew! That was close one, eh Pip? I thought Farmer Maggot was going to get us for sure! *stops to catch his breath* Say..who is that over at Bag End? Looks rather tall to be a hobbit. Let's go look!

<<--who is that?-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*hurries to Bilbo's hobbit hole.* I hope I'm not too late *knocks on the door with his staff. I did say I would meet with Frodo around second lunch. It's about that time now. *knocks again* Now where could that hobbit be?

OOC: Hi gang! Cool layout!! Good job DEB and kchan!!!

<<--impatient-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*smiles shyly at Sam* Thank you Sam for carrying these vegtables to my home for me. You are so sweet. *blushes* You know it's about time for second lunch. Why don't you stay? There's plenty of food and I would love the company.

OOC: What a GREAT LAYOUT!!! Good job DEB! You too kchan! This is going to be fun!!!

<<--a lunch date?-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

*looks about Hobbiton for his good friend Samwise.* Now where could Sam be? We were suppose to meet for second lunch with Gandalf today. *lightly laughs* I've never known Sam to be late for a meal.

OOC: I just wanted to say thank you for playing. I know it's unusal to have all the characters first, but it's my game! *smiles* again, WELCOME everybody!!! Let's make this the best LOTR game ever! *__*

<<--in a good mood-->>

<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>

Just testing to see if this works DEB! ^__^

<<--I'm here!-->>
