I'm back by the way(if it wasn't obvious), and I'm not so happy about a certain Dragon and a certain forest. >:(
So g-tech, how about we alternate RPing as Mirkwood?

Yes, but I think from near the Shire is a bit outside his capabilities.


Aha because when he gets to shire and notice that the rings isn't there i don't really know what to do after.

I think the enormous fire has only just begun, offhand.

Mm, let's say some of the "hasty" Ents come north to make common cause against this hated dragon. Maybe a half dozen to start with, from the burned lands.

:eyebrow:
I meant what part of Fangorn is burning now, so I can respond accordingly?
Also, it would be stupid for Ents to try and go against a Dragon. Dragons breathe fire and Ents are wood. What happens when fire catches hold of wood? It burns, obviously. I was asking if some of the Ents could flee to Lorien and so be recruited by me. So can I recruit like a dozen Ents?

The south, near Isengard, I believe.

Hmm. We could do that, but then we would have to give them a strength rating.

Oh? The Ents marched on Isengard, even though they thought it would be their demise. Lashing out against the one who caused them so much harm is merely reasonable.

And true, but Ents aren't stupid, Isengard is one thing, a Dragon is another. I say they should come to me.

I'll have to discuss that with Liec. Likely somewhere near a Mumakil, offhand.

Given that Isengard they knew to be occupied with thousands of Orcs, well, the dragon would actually be the less dangerous of the propositions I believe.

Nah, not really. In the book several Ents had been killed by Orcs with axes, and Orcs understand fire too. Only in the movie do they have the numbers and speed to fight Orcs on open ground; the Ents of Tolkien's writing are mighty strong, but still quite slow. Against an army of Uruks with warning, instead of a small amount of ill-prepared laborers, well, Treebeard's last march would have been more prophetic.

But for all other Rohan villages that we capture I will get control of them and continue to send orcs that will masquerade as if they were part of your band. Is that alright?

Until my Fort is done, yes. Then I start taking Villages for myself.

I thought that the movies counted as canon. Well Treebeard is sensible enough to know that going against a dragon is ridiculous.

That should take some of the forest out. Just flying over every square inch would be pointless.

You didn't have to fly over everything just make sure you burned down the whole forest. You don't just flyover 1 part and breathe on it once.

Oh, they're canon. Just not as canon as the books; the movies are fairly accurate, but I'd take what Tolkien actually wrote over Peter Jackson any day of the week. Perhaps; but by that same logic, didn't he know going up against an army of Uruk-Hai is ridiculous?

Also two dozen elves extinguishing a forest fire seems, hmm, implausible.

This, my friend, is a forest fire. This is not something you combat with buckets of water and sand. This, you fight by staying the hell away from it.

I'm kind of assuming that Rohan has no idea how the fire started. No one would have seen the dragon, right? I have no idea what I'm going to do about it; probably nothing, though. Doesn't seem like there's much I can do except cower in fear, and hope it doesn't reach Edoras.
