Vagaig died to challenge. I guess a kidnap wouldn’t have been the best for you.

The IK was in trouble, so we’ve lent a helping hand. Besides, you guys nearly bankrupted us by not killing our troops. We have to send them somewhere.

I just joined a game this week, since Game 16 is looking grim.

5 of us have run 8 positions lately, though one is due to illness/work.

Did your Northmen drop? That would make 3 drops by my count. We’ve had 2. We just didn’t let ours get special serviced like your last Eothraim player.

Now I just need to deal with Stealth Tarondor, and I’ll feel a little better. Where is the rest of your team for that matter? Seems like they should lend a better hand.

And a cold voice answered: “Come not between the Nazgul and his prey!”

In the darkness, a sword rang as it was drawn. “Do what you will, but I will prevent, if I may!”

A venomous hiss issued forth: “Prevent me? Thou fool. No living man may hinder me!”

The warrior laughed, a sound in that darkest hour, the strangest. “But I am no man. I am a Beorning!”

The Ringwraith fell silent, as if in sudden doubt… Then…

The quicken of shadow; a singing of steel; a wail of darken realisation…

And a Ringwraith’s lament, bodiless and thin, that died and was swallowed up by the sighing of the wind; “Bugger!”

  • The lament of Ji Indur (with apologies to JRR).

WM

Ji != Murazor. If I’m not mistaken, Beornings have been cowering from the presence of the Witch King all game.

So we’ve failed one kidnap/assassination round. Oh well. Plenty more where that came from.

Good to see somebody else talking, at least a little bit.

“But the darken emissaries speak only of failed assassination and not of the death of the Nazgul!?”, bemoaned the young Beorning kinsman.

Waulfa looked deep into his tankard of mead before drily replying, “Hold fast, young Beorning. You must remember that the first victim of any War is the virtue of Truth. The shadowed ones will not easily concede the passing of one of the Nine. Their mouths spew naught but rancour, malediction and easy misdirection. But we will hold dear this truth; we will celebrate this victory…”

A Nazgul is only one character, granted, one of the better characters on a given roster. His temporary death shall be commemorated with the removal of more FreeP characters from Middle Earth.

That’s an interesting hop, landing on Kenner. They just had City Council elections. How’d you find it? Waste a Palantir? Convert the Harad? Third Order for Tarondor? Does he have a back-up? And Araby? Man, that’s some nice recon you have there.

woses…no need to recon the ithil pass, so i looked to the south. ya gotta take your victories where you can get them. no sense marching into 3124/3024 to get slaughtered, is there? 3122 was sad, but not unexpected when i discovered 1600 dog lord hi. figured both guys would get kidnapped, but didnt think i’d surive the combat. a few more war machines, and it would have fallen. you did a nice job loading up the hex with defenders. there was a plan to take 3122 via 525 to stop that action, but it fell apart.
yeah, we converted the harad. i spent 2 weeks complaining about him blocking the s gondor, he ripped me back. just as smoke and mirrors to gain his trust. at this point, i’d say the going for n gondor is pretty tough. maybe i just believe in the power of recons and palantirs, and not attacking 14k in enemy troops on the east side of the anduin. too bad you defended 3533, as all this attention might have had an impact on you. good hunting outside 5

Hey,You guys leave me out of your silly little schoolyard he said she said BS.The only decision I have made this entire game is to make all of Umbar a part of the Kingdom of Harad :smiley:

Otis

My intention is not to stir the Harad, but rather to root out the means by which the locations of my suburbs have been revealed.

its not really too tough…your posting in the rough hexes around your capitol. nobody has ever done that.

sm

It happens.

You finally got one, eh?

just a recap.
1 regent failed to destroy a bridge, one regent failed to threat a camp, 1 lord failed to threat a village. but i just saved a ton of money by switching to GEICO?
what ya gonna do? somes you get the bear, some days the bear gets you. im gonna go play the my kid outside, its much more important.

I was talking about the Easterlings, but I am pretty stoked about only losing one pop-center.

Hmmm, the rise of the Easterlings . . . could be an important few turns ahead . . .

Where’s Tharudan?

What an odd question. Did another player drop?

I believe there were rumors of an encounter with Din Ohtar, could be wrong, though.

Yes for real life reasons. Im looking at his drops now.

So, is that 4 or 5 drops this game for the Free? We’ve had 3 for the Dark.

Dr Ohtar never talks about his patients or their treatment due to his strict rules of client confidentiality.
