They must have been. What else could cause such reckless disregard for the sanctity of Ale? I mean, did you see them? There they were, fighting, yes that’s right, actually /fighting/ in the Floating Log! It was a disgrace! Why, I wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t sour all Ol’ Arlo’s ale. He oughta get compensation, so he ought. But we done showed them. Kicked ‘em right out. And see if any dorves is welcome in our pub again! No sirree.

Involved in the fracas: Ranon (Keldean), Leris (herself), Blotto (Nob, who dispite his name, wasn’t), Faori (Acelen) and Riho (Bo).

SHIRE: Negotiation Negations

MICHEL DELVING. It was mid-morning when three people came together in the Delving Inn Two dwarves, LERIS and Ranon (played by KELDEAN), and a hobbit, Thilo Bracegirdle (played by BOLDIBAD).
Thilo followed the dwarves into the Delving Inn. He approached them and introductions were generously exchanged. Thilo explained his connections in pipeweed country, and that he dealt almost exclusively in pipeweed. The dwarves, being traders themselves, showed interest in the Bracegirdle’s Longbottom Leaf after trying a sample of it… though they expressed their preference for Old Toby.
Thilo, claiming to have 5 barrels of pipeweed with him, turned down Leris’ offer of dwarven metals in exchange, saying he’d have no use for it. Leris mentioned fireworks, but they were unsure of which of their companions possessed them. Thilo showed much interest in that. Ranon showed Thilo a pipe, claiming it had come from Erebor, a place which Thilo was unfamiliar with. From here, the conversation turned to Bilbo Baggins, and accounts of his assistance in removing the dragon, Smaug.
Thilo didn’t seem to believe it, even laughing. Ranon was somewhat insulted by Thilo’s response, and an argument went back and forth between them. Soon, Mr. Bracegirdle became angry and left the scene.

Check out the log.

MESSAGE: ———————————————————————
The caravan from Ered Luin is on the move. Perhaps 40-50 strong, a large group of dwarves is on the road. They’re hauling weapons, armor, and all sorts of khazad wares. A group of Mahal priests are traveling with the caravan as well. Leris is enjoying a first trip out of Ered Luin, and has become fast friends with Ranon (temp by Keldean) who is an apprentice metalworker from Erebor. More than a few have grumbled about the bold young hothead from the east.
