MEE-S1E5: Agents of Dol Guldur Otbert (Bill) Beorning Wanderer Zim (Tony) Hobbit Treasure Hunter...absent Ricfried (Brian) Woodsman Warden Lorig (Matt) Dwarven Scholar Mud (Duane) Wood Elf Wanderer Axel (Geoff) Rohanian Warrior April 30, 2952 : As Otbert tied up Berelas, Zim reluctantly removed the ring and handed it over to Mud who wrapped it in an envelope. “OK, now what? I say short rest before we wake the woman to interrogate.” As they rested with Lorig bandaging the wounded as best he could, Ricfried told inspiring ‘Campfire Tales’ that helped restore everyone’s health. Mud asked, “Think she’ll be more cooperative if we lie and say her brother is OK but separated?” Axel thought otherwise, “The truth.” Lorig treated her wounds and poured water down her throat. Berelas woke confused but then gathered her vision and senses, “I see Mordor has far reach to ensnare Hobbits and

MEE-S1E4: What makes them so high? Otbert (Bill) Beorning Wanderer Mirabar – merchant owner Zim (Tony) Hobbit Treasure Hunter Ederic - foreman Ricfried (Brian) Woodsman Warden...absent Eoin – young Bree apprentice Lorig (Matt) Dwarven Scholar Hirlinon and Berelas – brother and sister Mud (Duane) Wood Elf Wanderer Dwarves – Vig, scarred brother Vogar, and sons Navig and Narvi Axel (Geoff) Rohanian Warrior April 28, 2952 : As Lorig tended Otbert’s wounds, Mud and Axel approached the dead wolves to determine their kind. “Have you ever heard of wolves attacking an active camp with lit campfires?

Wild beasts and ranger attacks.” Mud noticed the dwarves already skinning the wolves

A few even found the coins to enjoy a nice warm tub bath. Although Zim might object to that description, “Bath? I’m just practicing my shallow swimming. Now did anyone see where I left my wooden duckie?”     April 27 evening : Once more, although a year later, they approached the Forsaken Inn making note of the carts and horses outside. Upon entering, they counted maybe 9 folks: 4 dwarves and 4 humans and one older ugly man finely dressed sitting all alone

  Otbert the Beorning After buying newer armor, with most coins concerted to silver/copper, Otbert gave 3 gold coins to Hilda at the Prancing Pony Inn. “Do not flash it for it will only attract thieves and beggars. Spend sparingly if you must but as copper coins. Too many eyes know your meager lifestyle and will become suspicious if you start dealing in silver. But if times get desperate, it is there for you. Barnabas is wise and trustful. He can probably better advise you.”  Before leaving Bree, he took Hilda into the woods to the north to show her his beehive and teach her how to harvest the honey. “Sell at the inn or add to your cakes. And maybe when I return, Barnabas will be kind enough to give me free-room-n-board while I’m there.”      Otbert remembered the chance encounter of the ranger who entered their camp and spoke to Mud.
