Am I still holding true to the storyline? I havn't read the hobbit in years.

Bilbo Baggins Cancels be useful: Interuppted by Cave Spider

Am I still holding true to the storyline? I havn't read the hobbit in years.

Just noting that, unless I'm mistaken, you mixed up the chronology of the trolls and the goblins. Trolls came first, then they crossed the mountains and had all kinds of goblin shenanigans, and that was followed by the elf/barrel thing. But yeah, I haven't read it in a long time either.  In fact...

And Bilbo got them out of the mess with the spiders, it was one of the first times he was really useful in the book.

I'm not very good at DF announcement speak, but the dwarves arriving at Beorn's place reminds me of an immigrant wave.

[Lord Shonus]

The hobbit went like this:

Unexpected Party-Trolls-Ambshed by goblins-Escape goblins-Riddles in the dark-Escape gollum-Escape goblins and wolves-Beorn-Mirkwood-Spiders-Improsioned by wood Elves-river ride-Lake town-Smaug-Battle of Five armies-Return Home

[Squirrelloid]

Not much of a hobbit fan, but since we already have a bunch of LotR stuff:

The Nazgul The Witchking of Angmar has come!
The King's Guard cancels protect King, overcome by Terror xN
Theoden, King cancels kill goblin, unconscious
Snowmane cancels stand up, landed on by Fell Beast
Fell Beast cancels eat, interrupted by Dernhelm
Dernhelm, Kinsman cancels store item in stockpile, interrupted by The Witchking of Angmar
Dernhelm has become an Eowyn!
Eowyn, Shieldmaiden has begun a conversation with The Witchking of Angmar.
Witchking of Angmar has become upset at the defacing of a masterpiece prophecy!
Fell Beast has been struck down!
The Witchking of Angmar has become upset at the death of a pet!
The Witchking of Angmar is throwing a tantrum!
The Witchking of Angmar cancels kill Eowyn, interrupted by Meriadoc.
Eowyn, Shieldmaiden has entered a martial trance!
The Witchking of Angmar has been struck down!
Eowyn, Shieldmaiden cancels aid Theoden, unconscious
Meriadoc, Hobbit Squire cancels aid Theoden, interrupted by Snowmane
Theoden has been struck down!
Eomer has become King of Rohan

Edit: Now with color! (I think I have these right)

More Edit: oh right, titles!

This is brilliant  .  I'm picking up with the gobbos here:

Dwarven Adventurer cancels travel: Interrupted by storm x13
You have discovered a cavern.
A thief has stolen a Stray Pony (tame)!
Bilbo Baggins, Burglar cancels Sleep: Interrupted by Goblin Snatcher
An ambush!  Curse them!
A Goblin Snatcher has been fried by lightning. x5
A Wizard has sprung from ambush!
The Great Goblin cancels Interrogate: Interrupted by Orcrist "Biter", Goblin-cleaver.
The Great Goblin has mandated the death of certain dwarves.
Goblin Underling cancels Kill: Interrupted by Wizard. x40
Goblin Underling has gone stark raving mad! x40
The Great Goblin has been struck down.
An ambush!  Curse them!
Bilbo Baggins, Burglar cancels Escape: Unconcious

There's a lot of cancel spam in this story .

[bmaczero]

Still bored...

You have discovered a great lake beneath the mountain.
Bilbo Baggins, Burglar cancels Explore: Interrupted by Gollum.
Bilbo Baggins, Burglar is more experienced.
Gollum cancels Pickup Equipment: Job item lost or destroyed.
Gollum has become enraged!
Bilbo Baggins, Burglar cancels Flee: Tripped
Gollum cancels Kill: Job item lost or destroyed.
A thief has stolen a ☼Gold Ring☼!
Bilbo Baggins, Burglar has become an enemy of Gollum.
Goblin Guard cancels Train: Interrupted by Burglar x15

[Lord Shonus]

A Goblin Snatcher has been fried by lightning. x5
The Great Goblin cancels Interrogate: Interrupted by Orcrist "Biter", Goblin-cleaver.

I would suggest changing this line to:

A Wizard has Sprung From Ambush
"The Great", Goblin cancels Interrogate: Interrupted by wizard.

[Odd!x]

Thorin has begun a conversation with Beorn.
Thorin cancels converse: interrupted by dwarf x 2
Thorin has begun a conversation with Beorn.
Thorin cancels converse: interrupted by dwarf x 2
Beorn is rapidly losing patience
Thorin has begun a conversation with Beorn.
Thorin cancels converse: interrupted by dwarf x 2
Beorn has become enraged!

color/exact wording may be inaccurate

[bmaczero]

Good idea, Shonus, done.

You do realize it was Merry, not Eowyn, who struck down the Witch-King, right?

[Dr. Johbson]

I love this thread entirely too much.

[Anfold]

You do realize it was Merry, not Eowyn, who struck down the Witch-King, right?

No, it was Eowyn who killed him, when Merry stabbed him was enough of a distraction to let her get the killing blow. Also, someone might want to mention the paralysis effect that happens to anyone who stabs Angmmar.

QFT.  That whole 'no living man may hinder me' stuff wasn't just for show.  Pretty sure Meriadoc counts as a 'man' for the purposes of the prophecy.  Only Eowyn *can* kill him.

The paralysis effect doesn't really fit into the announcements very well.  Similarly, I tried inserting something about merry stabbing him, but announcements don't give blow-by-blow combat descriptions.

Ah, found a way to insert the latter!

[Satarus]

Meriadoc is a man (gender), but not a Man (race).
Eowyn is not a man (gender) but is a Man (race). 

Both of them together kill the witch king.
