::First RP Thread in LOTR:: The sun is fading, and the wind is smoothly bringing night across the land. Light is found in a town named Edoras, headquarters of the kingdom of Rohan. Theoden King is happily, feeling well in his well established kingdom. Nothing disturbing is occuring and his riders are in good form, is there any reason to be distressed?
Turwaithion entered the pub known as Horseman's Refuge. Turwaithion was a relatively tall elf. He had left Rivendell because he was sent to give a message to Theoden. When he delivered his message he realized that he had absolutely no reason to return to Rivendell. The elves there didn't really notice him and his entire family had either left or had been killed. So Tur decided to stay at Edoras. That was 2 years ago.
Since then he got to know one of the Riders of Rohan and had been invited to stay in his house for he was sleeping on the streets. Ever since then he has become part of their family. He frequents the pub and knows almost everyone who visits it. This thread is that pub, known as Horseman's Refuge. The bartender can be played by anyone, yet do not misuse him. (No making him dance on the tabletops because he is drunk, etc...) He is a respectable man, and has a very high tolerance for drinking. (He works in a bar for goodness sake!) The costs for drinks are as follows: Mug of Ale-5 rupees
Pint of Beer-10 rupees
Glass of Tea-5 rupees
One Course Meal-25 rupees (Leg of Chicken, some beans, and a choice of either glass of tea or mug of ale.)
Two Course Meal-30 rupees (Breast of Chicken, medium amount of beans, two potatoes, and choice of either glass of tea or mug of ale)
Rich Man's Meal-50 rupees (Breast and Leg of Chicken, large group of beans, 3 potatoes, choice of mug of ale, glass of tea, or pint of beer. (Free Refills only with Rich Man's Meal) Turwaithion sat down at a table at the far end of the bar, next to the counter. He put his dark brown cloak on the hangar behind him and nodded at the bartender..."I'll have the usual..." said Turwathion. "Mug of Ale, coming right up..." replied the Bartender. Tur smiled and leaned back against the wooden wall. He had drifted into a half-sleep when he was awakened by the bartender..."Here you go, Tur." he said softly. "Huh? *Blinks* Oh, thank you!" Turwaithion began quietly drinking his mug of ale... |

Tuwaithion motioned to a small boy sitting beneathe the stairs across the room. He mouthed, "Come Here" to the boy and the boy understood. The sadly clothed young man walked to Turwaithion and said...
"Y-Yes Sir."
"Hey, what's your name?"
"________, sir"
"Well nice to meet you. Would you like some food?"
"Yes Sir, my dog and I haven't eaten in days, sir."
"Bartender! Could you give this kid and his dog something to eat, it's on me."
"Thank you sir!" The child exclaimed.
Turwaithion's ego lifted quite a bit because of the kid's excitement. He was quite content with himself, so he leaned back, once again, and drifted off into slumber.

(Anyone is allowed, and anyone is welcome to join this thread! In fact, PLEASE JOIN THIS THREAD!)
Turwaithion motioned for the bartender to come over to where he was, and the bartender came.
"Have a seat, why and when did you start this place?" Asked Tur out of mostly boredom.
"Well...about five years ago. See, after the war ended, I had no where to go, and no one to go home to. So I decided that Edoras was one of my favorite places that I had visited in my military days, and so here I am. I love horses and am actually half Rohan, if you can believe it. My father was a Rider and he visited a town one day. He met a girl that was so beautiful he simply couldn't resist asking her name. She told him and they became friends. Later he revisited the town and her parents had died, he was furious. He went out that day and killed five hundred orcs with only his spear and sword. He later returned and married the girl of his dreams. They returned to Edoras and settled down. I was the product...hahaha. I joined the Rohirrum and began my military history, and then the war ended. I am here now."
"Wow, quite a story!" said Tur.
They both smiled and began talking about the weather and such.

Kronomas has come to Edoras out of boredom and deep sorrow. During the war his family which consisted of a wife and threee kids, 2 boys and a girl, were killed by the orc seige weaponry. He, luckily, survived that battle but sadly his family did not.
His home in ruins, life in shatters, he began to travel all around Gondor visiting and helping repair what he could and when he felt like it. He made a trip to what remained of Mordor, which was just a big hole.
When Kronomas entered the Horseman's refuge he was simply looking for a place to rest on his way to Helm's Deep and Isengard and beyond.As the hour grew later Kronomas took a seat next to the lef whom he had never met.
"And what be your name Elf?"

Tur looked at the stranger for a second.
"Turwaition, but my friends, however few they may be, call me Tur for short. How did you come by the Horseman's Refuge? Oh, and what is your name?
Tur made a signal to the bartender simbolizing to drinks. The bartender quickly brought over to drinks for the two customers.
"Thank you kind sir!" said Tur politely.
As the bartender left, Tur noticed that he had not wanted any payment. 'I guess we are his best customers...haha' Tur said to himself.

Kronomas began telling his tale to Tur
" During the war, the orcs launched a rock directly from the mangonel right to where i had positioned my family for safe keeping. Apparently I couldnt put them up safe enough. I lost them all. A beautiful wife, 2 boys, and a daughter. Anyways, to make a long story short I am basically a nomadic soldier of gondor traveling the countries and coming to anybodies aid. I have simply stopped here for a drink and rest before I pay a visit to Helm's deep. I have now had the chance to enjoy the hospitality of Edoras and might stay a while. It isn't destroyed like my home city of Minas Tirith."Explained Kronomas
Kronomas finished his drink and wipped off his mouth and went outside for a little while before coming back in to contine his conversation with Tur.

Tur was saddened by Kronomas' story.
"I am sorry to hear that friend, but you are alive and well and we must focus on what we have, not what we have lost. Minas Tirith? In ruins? I thought King Aragorn was rebuilding it, is he not?"
Tur was quite confused by the news of Minas Tirith's hardship. He loved the White City, he had a few friends who lived there, and he hoped dearly for their lives to be living still.

Kronomas acknowledges Tur's statements and agrees that they are all tue
" Yes my freind, King Aragorn is rebuilding it. With the help of dwarves they are making the stone work better and with aid of the remaining elves they are making it even more beautiful than it already is. But I dont think i could ever consider it complete. Yes you are right. I am INDEED glad that I survived as many of my freinds and countrymen did not. and about your freinds, well, i do not know everybody so I honestly could not tell you."
Hoping he cleared up some of Tur's questions he removed all his armor to cool down and put it on the floor. He went out to his horse for a second to grab a few more clothes to put on and lid into them. As he was out there he noticed a young boy and his dog roaming the streets.
"Would you care for some already cooked deer meat?" questioned Kronomas
"Why yes. Of course!" replied the boy.
"Well, here you go. Come by and see me here each day and I will gladly supply you with food for you and your dog and warm clothes." said Kronomas with a smile.
"THANK YOU SO MUCH!!" Exclaimed the boy as he walked off.
Kronomas entered the Horseman's Refuge again with a big grin upon his face and told tur what had happened out there.

"Goodness...that boy is getting spoiled"
They both grinned.
"I am glad to hear of the rebuilding. Do you think you should be joining them soon? You being a man searching to help people? I also wonder why you couldn't consider it complete? Do explain your words to me please."
Tur looked intently into the eyes of Kronomas. This man had a look about him that intrigued Tur. He liked his new found friend.

Kronomas began to answer Tur's many questions
" Well, I can never consider it complete because even if I do return to live there one day I will never have my family back again. And to me that is still as if a chunk has been taken out. I did help repair the city working on its walls and gate and Osgiliath for many months I do belive. But then I decided to leave and help otheres repair. Such as the Rohans repairing Helm's Deep and the ents repairing Isengard. I enjoyed helping that boy. He reiminds of my oldest son Kronith."
On that note he gave a great big grin of joy. He was glad he had finally found a person to talk to in one of the towns that didnt need repairs. He was gald that he could just take a break here, in the city of Edoras

Tur smiled at the man's happiness.
"Edoras, although relatively small, is a wonderful place for relaxation and for Horse Lovers. Haha. So, how long do you plan on staying in Edoras?"

" I honestly dont know Tur. I suppose as soon as I am rested and ready to go. But this place is so nice and relaxing. No repairs, no anything. Just a place to admire and relax. And who knows, if I stay here long enough I could find new love. I mean, it has been 2 years since I lost them. I can't be sad forever."Explained Kronomas

Tur pondered for a few seconds.
"Yes, depression is only for those who have just lost something, yet a good state for some. Depression can show you a way out and many other added things with it. I hope that you do find love, and soon, because a man can only search for so long, right?"
Tur had entered a stage where thinking was almost more important than breathing. When he entered this stage he was completely aware of everything going on in the room. From the bartender whistling to the mouse scurrying across the floor on the other side of the room.

" Yes indeed. One can only be depressed for so long."was the response from Kronomas
As Kronomas stepped outside once more to grab a bite of deer he noticed a beautiful young lady walking by and simply could not resist asking her name.
" Excuse me, but what is your name" he said to the lady
"Why, I am Eowyn, daughtero f the king Theodin." she said and continued along her way
Kronomas returned to the Horseman's Refuge with a grin upon his face explainig to Tur, after snapping him out of the thinking phase, of what he saw outside.

Tur smiled as he knew the look upon Kronomas' face.
"What's her name? Is that Eowyn? She's a beauty, Aragorn fancied her for a while. Be careful, she can be quite mean at times..."
