Throw down.

What’s Gothmog’s challenge rank?

More than adequate to handle anything you putzes can throw at him.

  • Ben

Don’t be so sure, I’ve got putzes with some real nice tools. I’m talking First Age! And I know you don’t have Ulukai or Gaerennon since I took them off my hostage, your whimpering Kalastrog, hahaha!

Master Elrond

Snicker Well, let’s see who’s still standing. Your move.

  • Ben
    Dark Lts.

If there’s going to be a challenge, it might be YOUR move, since I might decide to kick some butt and move from Morannon.

Warlord Ascarnil

Knock yourself out, but you’re not getting very far.

“since I might decide to kick some butt and move from Morannon.”

–Kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place there, perhaps Morannon was a good idea when you first came up with it? Is it going to be worth all the effort? Say you even manage to take it, what good is gonna do you? Is the Dog Lord going to be eliminated? Are you gonna be allowed to recruit there? Well?

Dendra the Deceived

What kind of offensive will you be able to mount against Greenwood and the North with Morannon sacked? After this turn the DS, with Khand as the exception, will have pitifully few troops. And our emissaries are just as good or better than yours.

If you are willing to lose Morannon, we will take it.

Warlord Ascarnil

Personally I don’t think you guys have enough to do the job. Meanwhile we still own the west bank of the Anduin.

  • Ben
    Dark Lts.

Unless you know how many warmachines we have, you have no basis to judge, so I wouldn’t be so sure. Don’t doubt though that we have enough to wipe out the four miserable DS armies there now. I tip my cowboy hat to my own commanders who are clearly good enough to march from the crossroads region in SW Rhovanion through the Bulrakur’s roadblock to Morannon. Nice work, Celeborn, Ascarnil! Your skill has earned us options.

Master Elrond

<<Nice work, Celeborn, Ascarnil! Your skill has earned us options.>>

Yes, yes, nice work Celly and Ascarnil, you little jerkwads. Now you’re allowed to rise from the kneeling position to the bend-over position. You make Elrond proud!!!

it doesnt surprise me that they slipped through, considering how much vaseline and leather they had with them.

I suspect the Cordial of Imladris is a date rape drug!

Ghost Rider…I mean… Shoglic
the wry observer

Shoglic . . . the Spirit of Vengeance!

I see the second DS curses squad is up and running, with a third in the works no doubt.

Too bad spirit mastery won’t be enough for Dendra and his flunkies to save Morannon, hahahaha!

Warlord Ascarnil, the amused

“Nobody Here Gets out Alive!”, welcome to your tomb effiminate elflings…

DENDRA the FlunkyJunky!

And you guys don’t have enough to save Hornburg, Morthondost, or Dol Amroth.

  • Ben
    Dark Lts.

Ok, we’ll trade you each of those for Strulurtsa Khand, Ostigurth, and Barad-dur.

And still Morannon will be but ashes.

(Hate to use your mighty City/Keep capital as the butt of my joke, but it’s true.)

And the Havens of Umbar are ours. I ain’t so hot at mathematics, but I believe that gives us 5 over your 3.

Mathematician Elrond

Ahhh yes, you can add. But once again, everything you’ve taken you’ve failed to hold. Meanwhile we continue to hold everything we’ve taken, and now we look to expand.
