Write a story about your deck

[Kralik]

Here's the challenge:

Write a short story about your deck using all of the card titles at least once in the story. You may use titles more than once, but you cannot change them (inserting extra words, changing plurals, etc). You may use subtitles for characters instead of the full title. You can be creative... for example, "Speak No More to Me or I'm gonna tan yerr Hides!" Once you are done, link to the deck list in Lothlorien.

[Sam, Great Elf Warrior]

If you have multiple copies of the same card, do you need to use its title multiple times?

[Yanko Markovic]

I guess not. Does it have to be about only one side of the deck or the whole deck? And also, If I have, say, multiple copies of Orc warrior, can I say: "The orc warriors started doing the funky chicken"?

[Sam, Great Elf Warrior]

From what he said (no changing plurals), it would have to be "The Orc Warrior started doing the funky chicken"? Basically, if it doesn't autolink (or only autolinks because it's an acronym), it's not allowed.

[Jerba]

lol, this will be fun to watch.

[Kralik]

No, you don't have to use it multiple times.

Actually, changing to plural probably isn't a big deal. I'll post my submission soon.

[Sam, Great Elf Warrior]

I'm guessing asterisks also don't matter (e.g. "The Cavern Entrance* loomed wide."), correct?

[Kralik]

Nope. Maybe a small submission rather than a full-length feature presentation? I'm surprised at nothing so far.

Here is my poor attempt

So Frodo, Reluctant Adventurer that he was had A Talent For Not Being Seen whilst wandering the Paths of the Westemnet Plains. He was thinking about A Promise he had made to his friend Legolas, Greenleaf that he would visit the Cliffs of Emyn Muil to see Aragorn, King in Exile who had been disowned by his people.
So he headed back to the Rohirrim Village he was staying at and saddled up Bill the Pony, put on his Mithril-coat grabbed Sting, Baggins Heirloom that had been in the family for years and thought about heading off.
He was just about to depart when Sam, Son of Hamfast came round the corner and who was with him but Merry, Friend to Sam.
"Where are you off to then" they said. "We are just going down to the Palantir Chamber to have a look at some Foul Creation they have on show."
" That is not a Foul Creation that is Smeagol, Poor Creature all chained up it is cruel."
"Oh dear" said Sam that is a shame. "Anyway where are you going?"
" I am going to see Aragorn, King in Exile"
" Don't let Boromir, Son of Denethor find out you are going it was his father who exiled Aragorn. If he finds out you will be in front of a squad of Gondor Bowmen and turned into a pin cushion."
"Don't worry I can be There and Back Again twice before he gets out of bed the amount he drank last night."
"Well if you are going then I'm coming with you, just let me get my Frying Pan you know how much I love a cooked breakfast in the morning."
"I'm coming too" said Merry "let me just go get my trusty Bow of the Galadhrim which could come in handy if we run into trouble".
While Frodo and Sam were waiting for Merry to return Sam asked Frodo if he still had Aragorn's Bow
"Yes I still have it in the wardrobe inside together with that stupid Ranger's Sword, Blade of Aragorn"
"Should we take them along" said Sam
"Well I am not carrying them" said Frodo
"Well can't Bill carry them" said Sam
"Well he can but you know he will be discarded when we get to the Bridge of Crackydoom" said Frodo
"Yes but we are not going that way idiot this is a two towers block story not a fellowship of the ring story we will go through the White Rocks and then on to Hornburg Causeway."
"Okay then I'll go fetch them and Bill can carry them."
Five minutes later after wrestling with the wardrobe Frodo was back. Merry had also returned with his bow and some incredibly long knives.
"Those are long knives" said Sam
"Yes they were Legolas's long Knives" said Merry
"You mean they are the legendary Long Knives of Legolas" said Frodo
"Yes they are! So now that is established shall we get going" said Merry
So the three of them left the village and proceeded along the East Wall of Rohan.............

Elsewhere on Bottom Earth......
Elrond, Herald to Gil-Galad the Disgusting had heard of Frodo's adventure already on Twitter and had decided to send out his Secret Sentinels to intercept Frodo and stop him from reaching Aragorn.

To be continued...............(with the decklist attached later)

[Kralik]

On second thought maybe sites should be optional. So what's happening with the forces of evil at this point?

[max1981]

Elrond was still sore  over the incident with The One Ring, Isildur's Bane. If only Isildur had listened to him and let him have the ring he would be all powerful now instead of skulking around being all broody. Instead Isildur kept it and it eventually found its way into that little snot Frodo's hands. Well it would be his now all he had to do was capture Frodo and take it for himself. He could then sell Frodo and his friends to Saruman and his posse.
Saruman, Rabble Rouser to his friends had been out all night again at the trendy War Club dancing and drinking and eating kebabs. He was wandering back to his Great Hall while his stomach was Constantly Threatening to unload its contents everywhere. He then remember that he had seen Frodo's post on Twitter last night and he wanted The One Ring for himself. He called out to the Dunlending Looter he had lost last nights drinking competition to and told him to go Over the Isen and bring him back some Dunlendings who were a band of wild mercenaries that lived on the far banks of the Isen.
An hour later the looter reappeared bringing with him nearly all of the Hillman Tribe who were one of the craziest factions of Dunlendings although they looked more like a bunch of Hillman Rabble than a tribe being led by Wulf,Dunlending Chieftain.
Right Wulf I want you to go to the Ring of Isengard and wait for Frodo and his little band who will pass through the Ring on the way to the Cliffs of Emyn Muil. Kill them all and bring me all of their stuff. If that pesky Elrond or any of his Secret Sentinels show up make sure you kill them won't you.
So the wheels were in motion with the three groups all heading towards each other. But there was another player about to enter this game....
#$&*@! it for the last time where did I put my bloody long knives!! I bet that little #$&*@! Merry has stolen them again! He shot off at speed towards the Rohirrim Village he knew Merry was staying at. He thought to himself the quickest way will be to take the short cut Over the Isen. As he came into view of the bridge he spotted the large group of Dunlendings moving away towards the Ring of Isengard. They look dangerous I better find out where they are going.
Legolas moves with great speed to get round in front of their path and Hides himself behind a tree to wait for them to pass.
As they came through he could hear them talking....
"So Wulf where are we off to?"  "The Ring of Isengard" said Wulf.
"Oh great can we Burn Every Village on the way we haven't had any fun since ...... yesterday?"
"Yes why not I hate those pesky villagers!"
Hmmmm thought Legolas not sure what that was all about I could warn the villagers but what have they ever done for me. No off to get my bloody long knives back from that thieving little hobbit!! And off he shot.
Frodo, Sam and Merry entered the Ring of Isengard and could see an old friend sitting on top of some dead elves. "Hello Ulaire Enquea, Lieutenant of Morgul now are we last time you were only a sergeant?"
"Hi Frodo, yes well I have been promoted!  What are you doing here?"
"Just on our way over to see....."
But before he could finish Wulf and his Hillman Horde attacked from their hiding places quickly overwhelming Sam and Merry who quietly slipped off to the dead pile. Ulaire Enquea thought about helping but decided to save his own neck and legged it. Leaving Frodo surrounded by Wulf and his cronies......

     On the docks of Imladris, Cirdan, The Shipwright, had crafted a wonderfully large boat that was to take
Galadriel, Bearer Of Wisdom, Elrond, Witness To History and Gandalf, Manager of Wizards across the sea. Suddenly, Elrond got a text from his sons, Elladan and Elrohir, it read, "Dad, after Brooding On Tomorrow and some Careful Study, we have received a Glimpse Of Fate, it turns out you're Still Needed."
     Elrond read then re-read the text, he told his companions "Wait up for me, I will go Fleet-Footed along the Old Forest Road in an attempt to get them off their Uncertain Paths.
     Gandalf warned him though, "You may be a Foe-Hammer, but the Might Of The Elf-Lords will not help much... I'd also watch out for the Neekerbreekers' Bog and avoid the  Stewards Tomb"

Meanwhile...
     Ulaire Cantea, Faster Than Winds, along with the Eternally Threatening Lemenya had rode to Minas Morgul to find the Morgul King. They were bringing the corpse of Gothmog, Morgul Commander to their master.
     The Morgul King was angry when he was told that his Morgul Banner-Bearers had been Flung Into The Fray, so he found the last of the Morgul Creepers and Morgul Lurkers and went streaming to the field...

"Dad, guess what?" said Elrohir, "We're gonna go be Morgul Ambushers, get it, cause we're going to... never mind." "Sons," said Elrond, I don't have much time, why don't you just take my sword, Hadafang, and do it yourself?"
"But dad,"  whined Elladan, "don't you want to be a Morgul Destroyer?"
"No I don't," It's high time I said Farewell To Lorien and left you to your own fate."
At that moment, the Morgul King shot out of the tower headed towards the field he was streaming to.
"Come on dad, don't you want the Final Shot?" pleaded the boys.
"Oh, all right." agreed Elrond. he took up the Ring Of Rings and shot it through the Doorway To Doom. With that, Sauron gave a mighty cry, then fell dead at the Foot Of Mount Doom.
"There," said Elrond, "Done and Done. I'd best be on my way since I must climb through the Crags Of Emyn Muil."
"Ah Dad," said Elrohir, "You could take a boat up the Isenwash."
"Really?"
"Yeah," added Elladan, It feeds right through the Anduin Banks."
"Oh, Thanks boys!"
And so Elrond made it back to Rivendell and everyone lived happily ever after.

The End

Final instalment....

While the battle had been raging on for what seemed like minutes (30 seconds) Legolas had run head long into Boromir and 4 Gondor Bowmen.
"Where are you going?" demanded Boromir
"Off to get my really long knives back from that stinking hobbit thief Merry"
"He is not at the village, don't you follow Frodo on Twitter? Merry is on his way to see Aragorn with Frodo and Sam but I plan to catch up with him at the Ring of Isengard"
"Well you better hurry I just saw a nasty Hillman Horde heading that way"
"#$&*@! it if only we were playing with a nights deck or some of those Rohan idiots would show up and lend us some horses! Let's move double time! You coming Legolas?"
"Yes I want my bloody long knives back!!!"
Just as Legolas, Boromir and the Gondor Bowmen entered the Ring of Isengard they could see Frodo surrounded by the Hillman Horde. Legolas crept over to the dead pile to retrieve his knives and then decided it was time to leave and off he scurried singing an Elf Song as he went.
Boromir saw Frodo's predicament but his hangover had kicked in and he didn't feel like fighting so him and the Gondor Bowmen headed home via the pub.
Frodo just caught sight of them as one of the Hillman Tribe overwhelmed him. Wulf looking exerted took control of the site and arranged for the hobbits possessions to be sent to Saruman.
"Right he ordered lets Burn Every Village again on the way back just in case a few of the villagers are still alive."
And with that the story ends....poor Frodo he should have been a bit more reluctant to go on this adventure and stayed at home!
The End.
