    IC as Harikad Obuelsi

    It was a crisp day on the brown plains of Near Harad. The dry grass wavered with the gentle tides of the wind, trembling in the breeze. The few gnarled trees on the savannah were dropping their leaves.

    Chief Harikad looked out from the entrance of his tent. He had heard the call of the Haradrim Horn. The messengers had returned.

    Over the hill lumbered an immense gray beast of burden, an Oliphaunt or a mûmak, as the tribesmen called them. It was rigged not with the bowl-shaped archery canopy used in the fields of battle, but with the tent of an envoy strapped to its back. On the guiding harnass slung to its swaying head was a single pilot, pulling in huge reins attached to the beast's massive tusks.

    "Jirhad!" Hari yelled to the man now peeking his head out of the tent on the animal's back. "I see you have returned from your journeys!"

    "Indeed, my lord!" Said the tattoed messenger halfway out of the tent. "And I bring news!"

    News? Could this be the call to battle Harikad had waited for? "Come down from there!" Hari yelled, "and tell me more!"

    Ten munited later, voth were inside Harikad's Chieftan Tent, sipping freshly brewed shrub tea. "My lord," said the grinning Jirhad, "I bring tidings of war straight from the Mangled Ones."

    Hari leaned back in his cat's hide chair. The Mangled Ones- or the Orcs- were the direct subordinates of the Eye itself. This had been the signal. He looked over to the tent door where a guard stood.

    "Guard!" he said, making the man stand at attention, "tell the men and older boys of the villagers to prepare the mûmakil. We ride to war soon."

    The guard nodded and walked out of view, and Hari turned back to the envoy. "Now. What is it this Orc told you?"

    The messenger grinned. "We are needed to take the land of Gondor from the vile western men before they can attack the Dark Lord's lands. We are instructed to bring the mûmakil to the staging area, which is..." he paused to pull out an old map of nearby regions, and pointed at a certain place, "here, between Minas Morgul and the ancient city of western men called Osgilliath."

    A slow smile crept across Harikad's havily tatooed face. "Yes. Then we sweep west... and take the land of Gondor."

    "Indeed, my lord," Said the messenger. "Should I prepare the warriors?"

    "Yes," said Harikad with stoic conviction. "We ride at dawn."

    IC - Dimitri Elester

    After a challenging battle against the army of Mordor, Dimitri sat alone and silent in a small corner of the rocky outpost of Helm's Deep. A small scar ran across his arm where an enemy's sword had struck. The pain wasn't difficult to take, but still, it wasn't a welcome sensation.

    He waited patiently now, wondering what would happen next. The enemy had been defeated, but for how long? There was no telling how many more were hiding in the shadows, waiting for the time to strike at a moments notice.

    His horse, Inilga, stood proudly among the other horses as they awaited their masters' return. Soon they would be called upon again, the proud animal of the people of Rohan.

    Dimitri would return home soon, to celebrate the victory. But at what cost would it come to.

    Lord Raven Bloodchylde

    After not receiving an answer from the other adventurers, he thought it upon himself not to be halted in his quest. He had come to Isengard to find some magic in which to combat the forces of Mordor. He rode his jet black steed past the elves as well as the adventurers and strode into Isengard.

    Water splashed at Enesstrere's hooves as his gallop slowed to a trot. Raven kept an eye out for anything that could have been of use and hopped off of his horse to look around. At the base of the black tower were many scrolls and books. Perhaps with some information or some useful spells. He opened his pack and placed the items inside as he mounted his horse once more and made his way back to the others.

    "This must have been Isengard. I see the black tower standing there. Tell me, is Saruman dead? I would greatly like to see his horde of magics so I can aid Middle Earth in the pending war."

    (OOC: Carl_Jones, Earendil is Elrond?s father so I?ll make him meet him later on.)

    Earendil

    As he travelled on, Earendil saw a host of Mordor Orcs assault a village. They were burning houses, and slaying men who tried to hold them off their territory. The Elf attacked.

    He drew his sword and leapt at an Orc, plunging his weapon into his back. As the Orc collapsed, Earendil took his shield and raised it for an arrow aimed by an Orc Archer to fly on it. Lowering his defensive weapon immediately, he grabbed hold of the arrow, and pulling it out of his shield, threw it into the chest of his attacker.

    Running past a nearby Orc, Earendil raised his sword and passed the blade through his neck. While doing so, he slung his shield behind his back, just in time to protect himself from arrows which darted towards him.

    Like lightning, he rushed at two spear holding Orcs from the side, and took a sword out of the scabbard of one of them. They turned and jabbed their spears at him. Using both his own sword and his newly obtained one he swung his blades hard against the shaft of their spears flinging them off target.

    He spun closer towards them shoving his elbow into one?s face to send him toppling. Turning quickly he moved his blade horizontally upwards to slash the other warrior through the head.

    As another Orc tried to spear him, he again swept his sword upwards to fend off the spear strike and threw his other sword straight into his opponent. Then, Earendil swung his sword from above, moving it in a half circle to make the Orc in front of him lower his shied in defence. But then, the Elf raised his sword quickly, slashing open his throat with one quick lash.

    Another spear came from above. Earendil raised his sword so that the spear hit it and not him. He then turned around, giving two swift strikes to cut down an opponent.

    An Orc tried to hit him by directing his shield horizontally. But Earendil nimbly passed under the shield, moving sideways to take a sudden leap and thrust his sword into another warrior?s cheek

    An opponent rushed at him, holding a sword. Earendil sidestepped around him and with his free hand, pushed him over, sending him tripping forwards. While doing so, he pressed his sword through the chest of another Orc who came running at him with his sword raised. Earendil? blade emerged from his opponent?s back, dripping red.

    Alone, Earendil ran towards many other more enemy warriors, crouching to pick up a sword that lay by a dead Orc in the process. To prevent a spear from jutting into him, he leapt upwards. Raising his sword above the spear, he grazed it along its shaft, pushing it downwards. He pressed the other sword he held into another soldier in front of him, and turned to the right, quickly slaying the Orc who had tried to spear him.

    Earendil slashed through another Orc and rushing past another, he put his foot on the side of a rock to gain a higher position and swung around his opponent who wasn?t quick enough to face him, and felt Earendil?s blade biting straight into his back.

    The Elf parried another spear stab with his sword, and cut down his opponent. As two other enemy warriors rushed at him, he grabbed the front end of the spear of one to prevent it from being jabbed into him, and passed his blade horizontally through the stomach of the other.

    Then, still holding the spear which belonged to the Orc, he jerked it upwards, releasing it from his grasp. Earendil moved forwards, and grabbing his opponent?s arm, he twisted it. The Orc stumbled in front of him, and the Elf warrior ducked behind him, so that a spear directed by another Orc flew into him instead of Earendil.

    The Elf faced more Orcs. He blocked a sword strike, and kicked his opponent, tripping him up. He looked at another warrior and passed his blade through his neck, making him gasp for breath and cough up redness as he fell sideways.

    Then, Earendil dodged a sword swipe and stepping to the side of his attacker, he struck upwards. The Orc bent down, but was slightly late. Earendil?s sword s

    Korin: Korin. If I may ask...Link was it? What exactly are you and this rabble doing?

    ::Link indicates to the group making their way into Isengard::

    Link: Well, that rider in white is Gandalf the White, perhaps the greatest wizard in all of Middle-Earth; next to him is Aragorn, the last King of Men. We will, perhaps, be facing the full brunt of Sauron's rage, as we seek to destroy him and rid Middle-Earth of his filth. Orcs, Goblins, Uruk-hai, trolls, Nazgul and almost certain death lie on the road ahead. Still want to come along?

They run to each other and the man picks the young boy up, spinning him once. Arwen notices that the man is Aragorn. The boy is laughing as Aragorn kisses him on the cheek. She sees Aragorn's Evenstar on the neck of the boy. As tears grew in her eyes, she closes them and her head goes down. She recalls the words of her father. "There is nothing for you here... Only death... A moment later, she looks back up to see only the forest. "M'lady Arwen." She looks down to see an elf looking at her. "We cannot delay." She turns Asfaloth around and gallops back to Rivendell.
