The Torture Pit

[Imrel]

*Raies her eyeborws.* You wouldn't... And for the record, I didn't choose to enter the realms of darkness and death. I took a wrong turning on the way to Dagorlad.

[~Dernhelm~]

"You what?" Eowyn asks, standing up and glaring at the Witch King. "Pardon me for commenting, your highness but I believe that it was me who began the torture pit idea!"

"If you want me to clean up the mess, I'll clean up the mess; but with some style!""Eowyn adds defiantly as she looks down at the wooden bucket on the floor and figures that the floor could use some mopping. Without hesitating, Eowyn takes the bucket filled with water and splashes it all over the floor; soaking everyone's feet!

"Now, do these orcs know what a mop or broom is?" the shield maiden asks, hands on her hips...

[The Witch King]

*The water splashes his feet and he jumps back instinctively reaching for his sword. Grabs Eowyn by her hair and hacks off a large chunk.*

Silence! Or I'll cut out your tongue next!

[Imrel]

Hey! *Darts forward and brings the side of her hand down, hand, on WK's sword arm, causing him to drop the weapon. Picks it up.* Really now, that wasn't very nice.

[The Witch King]

*As she rushes forward Orcs swarm forward and surround them, holding them fast. Wrenches his sword back off Imrel with a face like thunder.*

Elidor if you'd tied them up like I asked ages ago we wouldn't have this problem. Bacause now I'm angry and that's very bad news for them.

[Imrel]

I've decided this wouldn't be an ideal holiday spot. *Struggles against the Orc holding her, kicking him in the shins.*

[Jared]

Silence, Whiteskins!

Trespassing on this land is already enough reason for any of the residents to slay you on the spot. Retaliating is just foolish bravado! Mordor is not just for any to walk in and out of. Especially not alive.

A wrong turning is still your own fault, Ranger. You have no reason to step into this chamber even if you have entered Mordor by accident. Detaining you is already considered a favour from us to you.

With others, you may already be dead.

And you, from Rohan. Horses are your love, not torture devices. Water will not harm the chamber ground, but the servants can harm you. This is our land. We have the last word. And don't be disappointed. You'll still get the chance to play with water. Perhaps you'll be drowned instead of stabbed.

[~Dernhelm~]

"I was planning on a haircut anyways," Eowyn says, being sarcastic on purpose. "Thanks for helping my budget!"

The shield maiden now draws her sword and glares at the Jared for a while, then the Witch King for even longer. Now the orcs began to close in and Eowyn decided to act now and talk later.

Eowyn brought her blade forward and easily stabbed the orc infront of her into the head. Alas! an orc behind her jumped up and almost made her fall over. Getting up as quickly as possibble, Eowyn continued thrusting and parrying with skill.

Still fighting, she looks at Jared's empty black shape and says, "Water? Alas! I can swim and Nazgul cannot! Aye, horses are my love and once Rohan hears of this; they shall be your bane as well!"

[Merry]

Merry comes in with Aragorn and Eomer, as well as some Dunedains. All of them draw their swords and begin to take care of the orcs. Pretty soon most of them are lying dead on the floor, black blood all over the place.

*Run Imrel! Run Eowyn!* Merry shouts, stabing an orc!

*Now see what your superior Modor blades can do, Witch King!* Merry says. ;D

*Forth Eorlingas!* Eomer shouts as he spots Eowyn doing her best to get out of the mess.

*Elendil!* shouts Aragorn, scaring the orcs and making them go in all directions and hiding behind the Witch King; choosing him as their current leader.

[Imrel]

*Mutters to herself.* Last time I take directions from a Goblin. *Tries dodging free of the chaos, but doesn't have much luck wih all the blades and arrows flying every which way. Draws her sword and gives Eowyn a hand with the Orcs surrounding them.*

[The Witch King]

Just hold it right there.........

*sighs heavily and puts his hands on his hips.*

maybe one or two of you could sneak in here but not a whole load of you brandishing weapons.
We do have look out posts you know.

And another thing........stop treating orcs as some feeble opponent. You can't just kill an entire roomful of orcs that easily.

Well anyway I've had enough of you now, you're nowhere near entertaining enough.
Take them away! Get them out of my sight!
*the remaining orcs bundle them out the door. Strides over and slams the door behind them, sliding the bolt across*

[Jared]

Role-play realistically, please. It's no fun role-playing with those who don't know what exactly the strength of they themselves and their opponents are.

Orcs are not as weak nor feeble as you think. They are just as strong, if not stronger, as Elves or Men. Don't forget, the Uruk-Hai killed Boromir.

This was one of Rivendell's biggest flaws. That was why Eriador was set up. We, the Nazgûl, felt that it would be better if everyone role-played well and realistically, rather than overestimating themselves and their power.

Merry, that post of yours was not only exaggerated but disrespectful as well. Insulting JRR Tolkien's work is not exactly the best thing to do.

And when were there any Orcs in here anyway? At most there were a couple to hold the captured. Legions of Orcs would not fit into such a pitifully small chamber. Logic, people. Think.

Dunedains and Eorlings take many days to assemble, for those from Rohan would have to travel all the way to Mordor to meet with the Dunedains, then barge into Mordor. Did you pass by Cirith Ungol or through Cirith Gorgor? To pass through Cirith Ungol, the armies will first have to get pass Shelob, then have an internal battle with the power of the Watchers who guard the pass with the Orcs. Passing though the Black Gate and the Towers of the Teeth which gaurded the haunted pass of Cirith Gorgor would have been practically impossible.

It is a disgrace even to see those posts up there. The purpose of Eriador has been defeated.

[Imrel]

(No offense meant, but isn't that a tad mellodramatic? I agree bringing in NPCs like Aragorn was kinda out of place, but worst to worst, couldn't the post be edited?
Btw, I would also like to say that I was aware the there weren't that many Orcs in the chamber, and apologize if any of my posts implied that there were.)

*Gets up, rubbing her back where she landed on it. Groans.* That was embarrassing. Probably the first time a Ranger took a wrong turning into Mordor... Well I'm outta here. Coming? *Limps back along the dank corridor.*

[~Dernhelm~]

"Thanks, Imrel." Eowyn says breathlessly as she narrowly dodges an orc arrow. She looks over at Merry and the other rescuers and if glad to note that many orcs have fallen. However, she knows more danger may arrive. Trying to find her way out of the mess a bit more, Eowyn hears much shouting in the distance. *More orcs! This is bad!* She thinks to herself as she takes her sword and fights against an orc. She gets a nasty scrape on her right arm, and it's stinging quite badly. Getting angry, she steps on the orc's foot and runs into it, pushing the orc aside; but falling down herself. Eowyn then gets up and looks over, seeing a Dunedain behead another orc, while another rescuer had fallen dead beneath a goblin archerer.

Eowyn wishes that she was withing talking range to Merry, not withing this big mess still. Wanting to do it as quickly as she could, Eowyn continues fighting against the orcs, not slaying most of them but just dodging about in the confusion. Some of the orcs have really gotten into the battle mood and were killing everything possible (perhaps even their kin, though Eowyn wasn't certain!). Narrowly escaping arrows, Eowyn gets closer and closer to the exit, leaving a few, yet perhaps dangerous obstacles in her way...

[Jared]

(If you're too blind to notice, Eowyn, you're supposed to be OUT of here. The Witch-KIng has kindly thrown all the Whiteskins out.)
