Hey, GreenEyedElf, if you could make one, it would be just fantastic! Then it would be even more elvish, this hidden-map-business. As I am a total loser at any kind of riddles, I pass.

But you take your time! I doubt the thread will move too fast. Or, if it does, it still would take 4 days (at least) for Rovan to get to Minas Tirith.

Gosh, your brilliant at this Nifredil and co.!
The harp idea is wonderful. It would be great if you
GreenEyedElf could make up a riddle for Im am also hopeless at those kind of things. We'll make up the final settings nearer the time. Thanks for the ideas!

Heh Vende thanks but I'm not really that clever - not as clever as all you lot anyway!

Hey Nifredil I like your idea it's really cool! Oh and is Evethire gonna know the map is in it?/ How is he going to find out about the map?

By the way Leafy glad to see you've introduced Altariel already - this is gonna be great fun!

Rightee-o then! The harp idea is very clever!

I'd gladly help with the riddle thing, but I'm not that great at it either. Hmm... if I come up with anything I'll let you all know!
Gah!!! Temptation...too....strong.....! Must..... go... post!!!!! Once again, hope you guys don't mind my more than frequent posts.
It took me forever to figure out who were talking about, Arwen_Undomiel! (Raen's craziness)
Duh!!! How smart am I?! ....Still laughing, by the way.

Hehe well I'm sure there'll be plenty more crazy times ahead! And of course we don't mind - in fact it's great that you post all the time cuz it keeps everything moving along - also I need you to post so I can do Raen's part so you're not posting too much at all!

Oh I had an idea - hehe ok I guess this is a little strange but it would give Aidem and Karay something to do! I was thinking that because Raen and Levi have to have their little fight :evil: Well I'll get Asgar to name some random person and bladeblah (I won't bore you with the details!) anyway, Raen goes ahead in the street to get something or other and then Levi shall come along and (I'm sure you can guess the rest...) Aidem and Karay think that he's Raen (hehe the poor guy thinks that the whole of Minas Tirith is insane!) so they follow him and eventually are led to where my two fight (it won't last long don't worry!) Well I dunno if you want to do that - if you're happy sticking with Raen (who isn't hehe!!! Well Levi can be just as fun when he's not being told he's someone else!) then that's fine but if you want to go with Levi then jump right ahead too! Once again I hope I made some sense......

Hello everyone!
I must say, I've been readin this thread since it began, and you guys are all doing great! It's really interesting!

So, Arwen and I were talking and I was wondering if you guys might let me join at this point, even though it is a bit late in the game....

Anyways, you guys are doing great and I love it!

Thanks guys
Definitely a reunion, and I'll try to find some way to come in soon...
Maybe Ari was walking the streets of Gondor, say returning to the inn she was staying at, when she heard a familiar voice or something (elf hearing, you know?)....

Just an idea,

Well, well....


It looks to me I'll have to read through the "It's always something", right? If I'm not mistaken...

Anyaway, I'm happy to have another person in our company!
You are MOST welcome, Elfgirl!

Hehe!! I know of a certain someone who's gonna be one happy fella - RAEN!!!!

Yep if you have her maybe coming to visit Sila or something. Well the inn that they first met him in is currently on fire at the moment (thanks to Raen) but as soon as Asgar has finished his little 'chat' with Levi and Raen then they'll be wandering around here and there and perhaps they could bump into one another (that's where the old elvish hearing could come ya know...)

Well it's completely up to you anyway - just jump in whenever you feel like it!

Thanks everyone~
I may go ahead and post, not involving myself with you guys yet, but just getting involved with the story.

Also, this may be kind of confusing, I don't know if I can handle two Raens

And I do like the visiting Sila idea, is this okay Rosie?

Sillende - Karay
GreenEyedElf - Ëorlas
Vende - Aidem

Hey everyone! *bounds back in* Well I asked elvish_angel015 to make a siggie for our rp and here it is:

Image

So if any of you want to stick it in your sigs then its right here waiting for you!!*jumps up and down* (Hehe sorry I'm a tad crazy today..... dunno why! )

Hmmm..... could've stuck this in the post above me couldn't I? Ah well here it is anyway!!

Oh an one more thing - great posting from everyone - this rp is soooo good I didn't think it would be so successful (and it wouldn't be without all of you great, talented and amazing people!!!! :love: )

This is the last thing I promise - any progress on the harp situation???

Hey you're not stupid!! (I used to do that all the time!)

Ok well when you go to put it in your sig you have to put it inside these things (dunno what you call them!)

Image

and make sure there's no space between the [img] bit and the http bit on each side or it won't work.

That should work anyway!! hope I made some kinda sense (you seem to understand me)

Ahhh!! Sorry it didn't work!! You put the address of the pic inside these things - [im g] [/im g] -just take out the space between the "m" and "g"

Ok just incase that doesn't work again I'm gonna type them on different lines so that it doesn't turn into an 'x'
[im g]
[/im g]

An then you put the pic address in between them!! Ok this better work this time or I'll go crazy!

EDIT: *starts hitting computer* It didn't work AGAIN!! *sigh*

ok let's try it this way.......
you know the image button that you can use (the one with the little screen and paint palette thing) when you're posting?

Well if you press this button then you get the little image things coming up and you put the pic address inside them they look like this [img] ok that's the first one and the second one looks the same except there's a slash (emm.. a forward slash / ) before the 'i'.

When you go to put it in your siggie the image button isn't there so if you just type them in yourself and it should work.

Sorry for the roundabout way of trying to explain this but it won't let me write them without a big red 'x' appearing instead of the signs!!

Emmm.... can anyone explain this better than me???

Leafy, first you have to decide where exactly is this treasure hidden. Are there any traps on the way? Is it large or not so large (in size)? How is it hidden, what protects it? Then we can start writing this riddle, I suppose. Maybe we can make it together?

Could it be that the map indicates the way to the place where the riddle starts?

One stupid question: is Altariel from the group of elves that Rovan found killed? Then she might know the harp, and Evethire could recognize it as belonging to his family... And I think that the map could be found accidently (Rovan won't just hand it over, so there might be a fight over it, and it might open from one side - that doesn't necessarily mean that it'll break).

When do you plan to leave? The same day? Or next?

Ok well Leafy's gone away till wed so we'll have to wait for her answers when she's back but I can say that we won't be leaving till the next day cuz we still have to get everyone together and sort of tie off a few loose ends in Minas Tirith before they leave. Also they're going to have to have a fair idea of where they're travelling to (they don't need to know exactly just so they know whether they're heading to the Iron Hills or wherever instead of the Shire for example!)

And the extra day might also bide you guys a bit of time to organise the riddle and the rest! But I think that your ideas are really cool Nifredil - maybe if the map leads them to the riddle and then there are traps along the way or something.

This probably sounds really stupid but it's just a crazy idea - what if this whole family treasure/heirloom thing is really really ancient and no one has ever found it before and so maybe the riddle in the map sort of leads them to another riddle which will be guarded by traps and so on (sorta like a treasure hunt thing) and then eventually it will lead them to the map and then they can work out where the treasure actually is.

OR

If we have the riddle on the harp that hints to the treasure's whereabouts and also gives a clue about how to find the map, but they don't understand where to find the map and maybe when they fight the harp drops and the bottom springs open and out falls the map. The map could then have all sorts of riddles along the sides which they have to work out as they go along to get to the next step of their journey. We could even make the riddles written in special moon lettering so that they only appear under the light of the moon or something like that.

Oh and we could have a dragon maybe guarding the treasure because there will be treasure along with the special jewel.

Ok well as you can see I've rambled on quite a bit now with crazy and strange ideas and so I shall sit back, shut up and let you guys get on with it! After all it's completely up to you as this is not my end of the rp.

hey, I know how you can fix the siggy problem...maybe...

Ok, Arwen, go to your profile, then copy your siggy and paste it here (with a few spaces or something like [ img ] or whatever so it doesnt turn into the picture). Then we can just copy that, take out the spaces, and post it in OUR siggys and *presto!* we have it!

just a thought. :love:

But enough about me!!!!
Dragons are awsome!!!!! We must have a dragon!!! There has to be one I say!!!!
