Post Murder in Rohan OCC
on: March 11, 2005 07:57
This takes place after the War of the Ring. Eomer is now king of Rohan. When Sauron was destroyed, many of his orcs survived and now rove over lands of men, causing havoc where they may. Rynwyn’s dearest friend has been killed while scouting- but not by orcs, it seems. She has come to the ‘crime scene’ before any others and suspects a traitor among the men of Rohan. She wishes to find him and have revenge, but she has no skills in tracking and needs help following the trail. *hint hint* ; Oh ja- please only join if you're willing to write fairly lengthy posts!

Have any ideas for the plot? Suggestions? Questions? Post them here!

Just posting to explain about the actions of Glorfindal. If you read his lengthy character bio you will see he was betrayed at an early age, when his own kin slew his mother at the mouths of the Sirion. As a result he hates treachery and dispisses it when other elves are involved. Be warned I will be playing this aspect to it's fullest extent.

Hi...I just goined this looks really interesting. Uh, so the plot. It could be the good old, he new too much thing, maybe there's more than one traitor in the village. Perhaps they are planning an uprising but he heard the conversation, maybe they told him that if he told anyone they would kill him, but even though he didn't they killed him anyways.

welcome! That sounds like an idea to me... I hadn't really thought about why there was a traitor on the group. I guess it could be like you said-- Reothed knew too much about plans of the bad guys and so, got killed. poor guy!

I just joined this thread and I hope that I can contribute to it moving forward. I put maybe too much ooc info in the post to kind of introduce my self. I am used to RPG just not online. I hope I can make the adjustment.
I hope the two names for one charecter are not too confusing to every one if it is I will be happy to try and explain it in a different fashion so it makes sence.

Lo! Hope you didn't mind Brenna and I crashing your party. I just thought to myself: "Rohirric traitor... BRENNA! What have you done now?" LOL!

Opps, looks like I crushed your plans for the traitor... Sorry, I can cut loose if you guys want to stick to the origanal plan. Or we could keep it as the same, but the people involved were to cowardly to kill one of their own so they hired Brenna.

Oh, BTW, Brenna also has multiple names. This time I'm going to have her using Leoma when around people; a younger girl with an embaressing past that she's trying to run away from. She's going to head over to the nearest village and hide herself there while she buys/steals a new horse, at least.

Translations of the names I used so far:
Brenna = Little Raven (OE/Gaelic, I can't acctually remember which!)
Alvyn = Elf joy (OE)
Leoma = Light (OE translation of Eleanor)

I like your idea! ^_^ How bout this: Reothed DID know too much and so the girl was hired by the evil MAN from rohan to make sure reo was killed during the orc attack.... since he was such a skilled warrior and all, the orcs couldn't kill him

welcome to MiR (hee funny abbreviation) tawar-meldis and purplefluffychainsaw... glad to have ya aboard! ^+^

Nah stick with us! I like the whole assasin's feeling guilty thing. Ya, so...cool, can't wait! I don't really get the sudden amount of elves in Rohan but it's fine, I like the characters. BTW in the db, it says Fae is 22 I'm playing her when she was younger, 17 or 18.

**Jumps aboard, dragging luggage and begins to settle in.** Okies, we'll stay... ^^

_mook_, I know what you mean, love! Yet another reason for me to drag Brenna into this rather then, say, Nenndil, and the reason why I wanted to make her the assassin rather then just another girl who stumbled across there at that particular time!

Here's a good idea. If Brenna is still nearby to the group, she could herself be attacked by Orcs (or some other evil beings), and the group come to her aid. Once she is within the group Brenna could discover who she has fallen in with, and since the friends of the man she killed have now saved her she now has a moral dilemma of what to do. Of course the party have absoutley no idea who she is, and completley trust her. I think that it has a nice twist of irony to it!

All of this sound great to me! Don't worry about that, LoremasterMiar, I killed off Alvyn for a reason... As much as I like Brenna there's only so much one can do on her lonesome. ^^

... I just have to say this...

Brenna has a little following!

*CricketCricket* All right, all right... **Retreats back to her hole**

EDIT: Sorry I haven't been posting: I'm letting Brenna catch up on some sleep while you guys decide what to do. I'll probably wake her next time.

Just a couple af questions. if you dont mind...

For one is Breena cloak that she has wrapped around shesalf a lorien cloak of just a reguluar one... it would be harder for us to see from a distance if it was lorien... that is the reason for the question... ??

Plus is there going to be others ( evil others and maybe even a good one or two extra at about the same time as we find her ) if not it wil be very hard for any mistake to be made as to her identity as the killer which would probale shorten her life exeptance unless seh stels a horse and runs away.
just trying to stay in line with others and not good off too far ahead or behind.

Brenna would ne'er use anything from the elves... No offence, my dears, but that's how she is. It's a normal cloak.

I'm going to take her down to a village - it'll be easy enough for her to loose herself amongst them, especially if she does something unexpected, which, knowing Brenna, she will do.

No taken. By the way I've laid my trap, and if all goes well then the group should be splitting up.

Dreamdancer, if there are going to be any interloper perhaps they'd better be put in sooner rather than later. But whatever happens I'm looking forward to it!

Oooh! Not that I've been spending great amounts of time thinking about RPing or anything... But, I had a vaugly good idea about where this could be going. Now I just need to transfer it into sensible language that makes sense.

Right, well, we know that Reothed found out about something that he wasn't meant to know about. Maybe this was an uprising - influenced by the wildmen who are still out for the Rohirric lands. These wildmen have allied themselves with orcs and anything else that's come to close, and are using the villagers (sorry, but in my head I've named Reothed's village Chatam: is it all right to leave it as that?) to help them. I'm not sure how. But the villagers don't know about this, they've been told that they'll get something out of it. And then Reothed found out about their plans, and they had to hire Brenna to kill him, which gets us up to where we are at the moment. And at the moment we need something to distract your characters from killing Brenna, because she's being a bit of an idiot at the moment, and I don't particually want to have her killed off. So - and this is where I was leading to, believe it or not - what if the wildmen and their allies pick this, rather inconvienient, moment to start their attack? And, just as a coincidence they could hit the village we're in (did I name it Otham? I can't remember.). That would cause a slight distraction. There'd be some fighting, which would give Brenna a chance to prove that she's not all bad, and then we could have a race with the Wildmen to Edoras to warn King Eomer. That would be interesting after what Glorfindel did to the horses...

Anyway, that's just a suggestion (a very long sugestion); don't feel that you have follow it or anything.

EDIT: Happy easter all! And happy New Year/ Ring day from last Friday... :love:

bumping this up... the way the thread is going, our goodies are about to come close to getting Brenna. going on purple's suggestion, I think they're about to put their plan into action when the vllage is attacked by wild men/orcs. (since there seem to be a lot of them around anyway) Brenna can end up helping in the battle, as suggested, and if everyone else is in aggreement we can pick up with the race to Edoras thing. but waiting for input on all of this before making any final decisions. ^_~ share thoughts!

It seams to me that if she does some good deeds then there is some change of her surviviing, but somehow I personally think. At least from the veiw point of the character i'm playing anyhow that she will need to come clean about who it was that hired her and help unravel that plot if she truly wants to live.
Just my feeling on the matter. After all if we just up and get her banished or killed that would be the end of the whole story line...It would be more interesting to let her squirm may threathen to take her before king eomer...

I don't mind too much about having Brenna pressed for imformation (though to be trueful it won't take over-much to get her to tell your characters anything: she all ready feels slightly betrayed by the fact that orcs were involved), and Brenna thinks that anything that puts her in the spotlight for a while is good... *Coughshowoffcough*

The thing with Brenna is that although she can obviously distinguish good from bad she doesn't particually care to pick one over the other, and so she often switches between one and the other at a moments notice. She wouldn't worry about suddenly changing to help your characters instead of those who hired her, especially since she has done what she was paid to do, and they brought in the orcs.

(BTW: I'm going to post as often as I can in the next week, but I'm at my grandparents, so I don't want to have to hog the internet for too long. I'll try and keep as active as possible, but I don't like feeling guilty!)
