           The War of Fennec.

    (Games section Tolkinovskogo

        Society in Action)



  Before you a brief report about the
summer of 1995, role-playing game only
members of society from the standpoint of participant
events in the fox nose, full-time magician
Pallando Tinmegilya.



  Actually the war started because of a disassembled stone, it 
is unknown why do you think magic. Istar, when someone asked of 
them, the magic Does he replied: "Well, I can not say with

certainty ... "and then pointedly shook their heads questioning;
this one made the conclusions that
wanted to do, and because of that all stakeholders were divided 
into three Camp: dwarves, elves and hobbitorki. Dwarves, of 
course, because old habits stone have stated their product, but 
because set out to kill anyone who would encroach on their 
treasures. Elves rock was, in general, and does not need - 
"gnome trinket, but a crowd of strangers,

trampled blessed Malinniki elven forests, their unspeakably 
irritating; Brave because people went on the warpath, anxious 
to bury the battle-axes, along with their owners, well, 
pathetic rump into the bargain. The interest of hobbits and 
orcs in this case spoke of their self-designation "search for 
treasure of the highest category. 


  Istar, wanting to revel in this Istar (ie, stories) in full 
growth, this stone was dismantled into parts and buried in 
throughout the forest, noting the caches on the map. For 
Mapping Tinmegilyu Pallando was awarded the Order of Ivan 
Susanin three degrees. 

  To ensure its own security and control of mortality Istar
Mandosa invited special group composed of
three persons. Mandosa servants and wizards
signed a nonaggression pact and mutual aid. During the talks 
both sides kept in a pocket fig.



 Let's start Chronicles One-Day War.


  1. Peacetime (about eleven cha
    owls in the morning).


  The thunder of hammers. People cobble together swords. In the 
smithy comes Nar: "I would nail ... shoe repair." Chose three 
nail - dvuhsotki; first two died, unable to even scratch the 
heel, the third came with a terrible screech. Nar clothes

shoe tapping contentedly.


  2. Shortly before the war (a quarter

    twelve).


  Istar went to hide part of the mascot.
Tinmegil (ie me) is trying to remember
caches and Maps. Feuding
by approaching the limits Bitvennogo
forest.


  3. Ten minutes past twelve.


  Nations differ in the camps. Wizards cut down his staffs. 
Mandos is constructed. 


  4. Twenty-five minutes of the second.


  Dwarves with a crash advocate for the campaign.
Magee vyhosyat temporarily out of the game, sent to the base. 
Produced organoleptic quality control of cooked food 
(Porridge). After some discussion, their opinions, we decided 
not to write. 


  At this time the fighting hobbits with cries
flew out of the bushes and attacked the peace
squad of gnomes.


  5. Half a second.


  Gnomes bemused look at the Hobbits
trying to comprehend the situation. Peregrine
breaks his sword on Thorin Dartula.


  6. At twenty-five and two.


  - You are what? - Ask the gnomes.


  7. At twenty-two.


  Gnomes Strike Back. Mages are in Bitvenny forest.


  8. Five to two.


  Saruman comes to the gnomes and offers
his help (actually dwarves beg for the healing of his injured
leader).


  - Why pay you? - Busily asks a magician.


  Gnomes (consulted): "Guns, flattery and scalps" (Mage nods 
with satisfaction). 


  Gnomes go to look for elves.


  9. Ten minutes of the second.


  Gnomes describe the fourth round. All
this time the elves are watching them, and took counsel. Once 
the dwarves in the fifth again with a roar swept past, the 
Brave people are not lost his nerve. 


  Gnomes with grim tenacity trampled path, with one of the 
turns in front of them suddenly parted the bushes and there 
jumped elves; of them reeked of songs and milk. Brandishing 
weapons, they fell upon the Dwarfs, but meeting resistance, 
retreated. 


  10. Twenty minutes of the third.


  Towards the gnomes again caught the hobbits. Their ranks 
somewhat thinned out - Meriadoc fled to the elves, renegade 
Peregrine somewhere wandering.



  Tsvergi stopped and cautiously
looked at the hobbits. Those were going slow
hanging their heads. "Zvinyayte made a mistake ..." Falco 
began. Gnomes coldly silent. "We you want to .. "- went all the 
same Falco. Torin Dartul pochesyvet virtual beard. "Well ... - 
he said slowly. - We can discuss it ..." 


  11. Twenty-five minutes past two.


  In the campaign stands a PhD gnomohobbitovsky detachment. 
Gnomes go ahead Hobbits behind, and sometimes one or the other

hobbit zatesyvalsya the ranks of the dwarfs and again
stepped back. After some time
dwarves felt that their wallets emptied considerably. Finally 
Dartul stops detachment. "I think we ought to separate." - 
Grimly he says. 


  12. At twenty-three.


  Gnomes have found the elves.


  I'm walking down the road and I see: there are Firstborn, and 
in front of them beating depression by Valinor. Around them - 
the dwarves, hobbits, Saruman and B. Orome. 


  Dartul raises an ax, ready to send its army into the attack, 
opened his mouth and ... Delicious hobbit hears obscenities in 
his address. From behind a tree looks Pippin. 


  - You Th! - Falco said, - We are allies!


  - I do not believe your union! - Said Pippin. - And you ... 
and your covenant ..., and Dartula I'll bear his own ax!



  Falco turns purple, it comes out of his ears smoke.
With a short fierce cry he raised his
sword ... "Stop!" He's my prisoner! " -
thunderous voice says Dartul. Approaching
to Pippin, he robs the weapons.
Other gnomes watching with interest
happening. Darul included in the role. He
scours the prisoner. Elves felt
the sweet smell of freedom (it is interesting, incidentally, 
why is the freedom smells condensed milk?) and, like lightfoot 
deer, Rushed into the woods. After some discussion, the dwarves 
followed. As can be seen speeding, they are at full speed and 
run into a swamp. At this time we decided to Saruman, that 
dwarfs unacceptably increased and went look for the elves. 
Quickly typing a small detachment of elves and hobbits (last - 
renegade-elfofil Meriadoc and Peregrin, escaped from 
captivity). Actually it was assumed that we will wait until the 
gnomes begin crossing the ditch, and

it will bury them. But our good for nothing
hosts in the wild delight crept into a swamp, dwarves calmly 
waited on the beach. Chertyhnuvshis, Saruman didst send to 
Dwarfs spell "Great Dirt", I unleashed on TV Dartula "Death of 
a hangover," and left the battlefield. Bprochem, Elves, it 
seems, still won, but many soaked feet.



  13. About three in the afternoon.


  Duc Aw, Snap! I was walking through the woods, toward the 
Falco. Shows the map and .. ahem .. asked to explain where 
things are. A I must say that they are part of the map, really, 
to put it mildly, did not match. Well ... I showed him one 
cache, went further. After a time pass by - look, dig.

Aw, Snap, I think, Fennec something on the surface! I did not 
tell him that the explosion cache - not the best way to find a 
Fennec. However, out of courtesy to help him. A little. Not 
found. Well, I walked away before. 


  14. About twenty minutes past three
     st.


  I'm out on a meadow, and what did I see?
Elves, hobbits unite with some, Saruman and B. Orome overtook 
the same dwarfs. Torin Dartul, wanting to save her

detachment caused Orome a duel. During the match other dwarves 
very quickly retired - but, however, is not enough

quickly. They caught and killed. Started to search the body. 
Elven delicacy - suited to the dead and ask: "Is

Fennec?. "Having received a negative answer,
casually searched. Naugotind, squeezing
piece of the talisman in his hand, he said, honestly
looking into the eyes of the elves: "Scour!".
Searched. Not found.


  Upon learning of the death of his party, Dartul
surrendered. He was also thoroughly searched, ransacked 
clothing, making sure even hayratnik. Someone wanted to check

Shoes captive, but by starting them unlace, for some reason, 
suddenly changed his mind. 


  Valar Orome linked his weight gain to a belt and took an ax 
to Mandos. Go. Suddenly y Dartula accidentally untied shoelace.

Torin stopped and said: "Orome! A
zavyazhesh not whether you lace me? And then I
I can not go any further ... "and yet didst remember
Berne Convention and the Red Cross. Orome, squatted down and 
murmuring curses, tying shoelace. Pleased with himself Dartul 
loudly announcing: "Watch it! Valar dwarf tying shoes!"



  In addition to the moral satisfaction, Sia
trick and brought practical benefits.
Dartul managed to connect it to weaken
shackles, and almost at the Mandosa escaped.


  - Keep it up, boobies! - Shouted the Valar.


  Elves are indifferent gaze held
evader dwarf, yawned, and slowly
went on.


  15. It is a quarter to four.


  Pippin took my unspoken kindness and compassion (well, and 
wisdom, of course - he praises - no praise), and beg two parts 
of the mascot. However, the good he it has not brought, angry 
relatives demanded that the carve-up, and being refused, they 
decided renegade and divided Fennec. K this time, Shagrath and 
Finrod seems have finally lost interest in what happens and 
were cut with each other, killing more weapons than all other 
Warriors put together. 


  Dartul was moved to partisan
actions, but he returned from Mandosa
dead gnomes, and the desire for revenge made them go in search 
of their enemies, the Elves.



  At this point, I no longer understand
meaning of revolving around me events.
For me, the game was over my glorious
deaths - five swords at once struck me virtual wounds.


  But here's the beginning boat Arien tend to
sunset, which signaled the end of
Great War of Fennec. Recently
moment one of the guards Mandosa committed dastardly betrayal 
of magicians and entered into an alliance with the Gnomish gang 
with the aim confiscation Fenech (oh, excuse me, magic 
crystals) in others, but ... Alas! the war ended. All armies 
have gathered in Within Mandosa in order to find out what

Bitvennom happened in the woods in the past
hours. Not found. It became known only
that one of the wondrous stone disappeared
God knows where that has caused grief just true of the owner
(Dwarf, by the way).


  And then was the last feast next
the cave Thorin Dartula, and soon people began to leave 
Middle-earth. Local residents claim that the area still

then it stinks milk.
