Harn is the baby of the company

I have been thinking of a character to add to this RP's suspense.He would follow the company but would never make it over the Eastern Mountains his "end" would come in them. I know his not being spotted by one of the many elves in this party is doubtful. However, if he traveled only by night and stayed two days behind the company during the day he might would make it to the Eastern Mountains. The company's telltale fires would be his compass. Taking cover behind brush and rock in the Mountains he would catch up to the company and meet his "end".

I would like the players of CP to vote on whether or not this character joins the RP. No worries if you don't like the idea...he is a random thought in my mind.

Wait, I am confused. I am confused about what happens to Harn. He leaves, and then returns?

Maxie, Harn will stay in the story. Cenor wants to introduce a new character...some unsavory sort who follows us as we make our way to Cuivienen. She would like our opinion about her doing this.

Apparently this character will get killed off eventually.

I agree with the others. It will be interesting having a sneaky person following us.

Okay only problem now is...

Who is this thing following? One of the company? Does one of the Elves have something it wants? Does it have a personal grievance against anyone?

How about Linriel's box? He can be following what lies inside. But since she never opened it, she would not know.

The box has been sealed for more than 500 years. I do not know why this person would have waited so long to get it.

Perhaps this unknown person simply wants to find the way to Cuiviénen for his own gain somehow. Maybe there is a rumor of wealth there.

Linriel's mother gave the box to Galadriel when she departed to the West with instructions to give the box to Linriel when Galadriel deemed fit. Galadriel summoned Linriel to Lorien to tell her of the death of her mother and that is when Linriel received the box. No one else knows of this box.

She has no plans to open it soon

Lindarielwen, your compliment made me smile so much! My horse needs a name, but I suppose that will come with time.

Edit: My last post ended up a little longer than I expected. Guess I got carried away.
And I just noticed something. There are nine of us setting out on this mission...quest...thing!

Ooh good idea Song! That can be his motive if no one objects. Just so you know Thurinlass will bring about His end.

LOL Song!

Okay, we know why this guy is following us and we know he will die at the hand of Thurinlass..seems like the suspense is over before it started...so why bring him in at all?

Very good point, I would like some surprises, even if it means challenges or hardship, this is just a story after all, it's kind of fun to have some drama and suspense.

I do not know how long this will last, but my internet is working right now at least!

Thank you, Lindarielwen! It is easy to get carried away with descriptions.

I agree about suspense. I think it adds a lot to the story. You should have seen me reading the Mirkwood Rogue Elves part of this tale.

Cenor, I am glad we had a chance to talk. Remember, your character is simply that...your character. It is up to you how your character behaves and how his end will come..if it does.

Song, it was Cenor who came up with the rogue Elves.

Hi all, I've been wondering if I was able to join this RPG, if that's at all possible? I do still need to write up my character bio etc, and I'm new to typed RPG (not a stranger to D&D).

Thanks, Ildë

No clue what D & D is Ilde

Anyway, tell us a bit about the character you are thinking of. It seems we have a lot of characters with names starting with *I* including 2 horses

We are all Elves save for Harn, a human boy played by Cenor. Besides Harn, the only other male in the group is Thurinlass, a Firstborn Elf.

Crossed Paths is basically about travelling Middle-earth. We are now heading to Cuivienen to see the land where the Elves first awoke and beheld the stars.

Have you read any of Crossed Paths? We are the longest running RP here and our story is quite long. I would suggest you at least go back 10 pages to see what is going on.

I've gone back to about 5 pages, but when I get a chance I'll read back some more

And D&D is Dungeons and Dragons

Well, my Elf's name is [s]undecided[s] - Miluiel or Itarildë (I can't decide...). She's an elf of Imladris (Rivendell), dark-haired and dark-eyed, known for her skills with a bow and arrow, and also her wealth of knowledge from Elrond's library. She is well-travelled, and doesn't mind travelling alone to appease her curiosity.

Sorry, I forgot to post this for you guys!

Thanks,

Ildë

Ps. Please forgive me if I'm lacking in places. I'm new to RPGs!
-------------------------------

Itarildë, daughter of Elrohir
Gender: Female
Race: Half-Elven.
Height/Body: Almost 6"3
Age: born in the year T.A. 1774.
Location: Itarildë was born and raised in Rivendell.
Family: Her father is Elrohir, and therefore she is the grandaughter of Elrond and Celebrían.
Weapons: Itarildë, like many Elves, favours the long-bow and dagger approach to weapons, but also relies on her vast knowledge and instinct in battle-settings.
Personality: Itarildë, on first impressions, seems distracted and silent, almost distant, as if her mind has wandered afar. This is in fact a habit Itarildë picked up while living in Imladris, and being a member of Elrond's family. She revels in knowledge, and holds a high regard for those who, like herself, seek it out for themselves.
Appearance:Her hair, like her father's is long and dark, and she favours a complicated braid pattern with inlaid beads of silver, over more simpler styles. Her eyes are a strange mixed shade of brown and grey, that seem to change depending on the light. Her expression always seems to be bored or indifferent, until she is spoken to.
History: Itarildë has lived a quiet life in Imladris, observing many councils and meetings in her time. She has found herself torn between both races of Men and Elves, due to her deep interest in the goings-on of Men. Despite her time with her father and grandfather, Itarildë wanted to prove herself worthy of the House of Elrond, making a name for herself to please her father, who was frequently away in the Northern Kingdoms throughout her childhood. Although she was well-loved and looked after, Itarildë felt she needed some time to gain some independence and self-reliance. With this in mind, Itarildë spent some time travelling around parts of Middle-Earth, though always eventually returning to Rivendell.

As soon as Istalon gets back he will be able to tell us what areas we will be traveling through. We are heading north, north east from Lorien right now. I have been looking and looking in my atlas of Middle-earth and for the life of me I cannot find where Cuivienen is in relation to Lorien. I will keep looking.

It is not yet noon, I believe, but we just left Lorien not too long ago, the sun is not yet at it's highest point in the sky. Most of us are going for a little romp in the woods to liven things up.
