The Two Towers - Tuesday, September 28, 2004, 10:19 PM ------------------------------------------------------ Note 60 Carcharoth (Tue Sep 28 2004) News from Minas Tirith! With the impending battle at hand, the guards in Minas Tirith have tightened their security. No longer will they let suspicious people through, regardless of whether or not they would in the past. Orders have been passed down, and the city's most secure location still remains the Citadel. Seeing such actions, Alexa is saddened. Her business is no longer a booming one, as the guards are keeping prospective customers away from her in Minas Tirith. As such, she has decided to change locations to a more neutral ground, in a place that can't be so picky on who goes in and out. The place? An outpost near Calenhad, in the White Mountains between Edoras and Minas Tirith. With any luck, she'll have remembered you and any gold she owed you, in her new location. Hope she took good notes. _____ _____ __| |___| | ^^ . . . | _/ \ . . ^ . | |_| |_| | | / \ /\ . ^^^ \ / / _/ \_ . /^^| /~~~\_ | | / / \_ /^^^^\__ . /~ ^^^ \ | |_| | / _/ \ |~ _ \ _/ \_ | | / / \/ /_\ \ /~ \| | | __/ _/ _/ _-\ \/ | | __ __ | _/ / / \ / | | | | | | | / The / / \/ __/ | | | | |/ Two / _/ | | | | | Towers _/ / | | | | | __/ ==| |__| |__| | _/ ===__| | _/ ===== / | / ====== = _/ | ___/ ==== == == / | __/ ===== / The Two Towers is running the TMI-2 1.1.1 mudlib on MudOS v22pre8 Please enter the name 'new' if you are new to The Two Towers.

He is a massive form of animal ferocity, his colour a fierce grey-black. The sheer strength radiating from his frame shakes your courage, and you back away as he snarls violently at you, saliva dripping from his fangs. Either this is no ordinary wolf, or he has been extremely well trained in the art of killing. HP:190 EP:153> Working to keep out unsavoury persons, Grinning Charon is a tall, lean man with a roguish twinkle in his eye. He got his nickname for always being up to some act of mischief, usually at the expense of his fellow guards. Even now, he's smiling at some private joke and you're wondering if you should be worried. He is wearing a helmet with a huge horn and is equipped with half plate armour. He winks at you and flashes a brilliant grin, then returns to watching and inspecting other people who pass under these gates. He is carrying: A slender longsword (wielded).

The blade has been forged and reforged to perfection, so that its edge will withstand even the most brutal battles. The hilt of the sword has a cross-piece designed as two opposing wolf heads: one black, one white. The handle is different, consisting of a resilient grey metal, shaped like a wolf's paw with extended claws. At first glance, the sword looks curved, as if it was a large fang, but upon closer inspection, it's actually quite straight. This huge war axe has a blade made of the darkest metal. The metal has been forged with a flat tone so as to not reflect any light. Hardened after much use, the handle is made of a fine wood with leather wrapped around it for greater handling in battle. Though ancient, this weapon still seems as sharp as ever, and the runes on the blade gleam ferociously.
