Bree: Bandits Strike Again

Fredder the Large was peacefully jogging along on his pony, half-dozing as the reliable old creature carried him home to Bree from Archet, when they came upon a goat in the road! And not any old goat – but a dead goat. A smelly, rotting dead goat. While fastidiously attempting to go around the carrion, a man came up to Fredder snivvling about his master who would surely beat him for losing the goat. But this fellow clearly was a scoundrel of the basest sort; for not only did he lie, but he then pulled Fredder off his pony and stole all of his money, leaving the poor old man to hobble down the road in search of his terrified pony. What IS this world coming to? Why isn’t the mayor DOING SOMETHING about all this??

Well, ok, evening.

Keldean, ditzy teen that he is, was out wandering randomly not far from the North gate of Bree when he was startled – and a little frightened – to hear a voice addressing him from the dimness beneath a nearby tree. It was Barlok the Infamous, who by his own words was there for the important task of sitting under the tree. The two chatted a little while, when suddenly Barlok jumped at Keldean, sending the boy racing back for the presumable safety of town, while the man retired to his seat, chuckling.

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).

Bree: Pony Poop

MESSAGE: ———————————————————————
Yesterday morning brought a gaggle of goggle-eyed people around the entrance to the Pony as Nell (temped by Narthalion) and her pony clogged up the pathway. Among the onlookers were Gregory, Coughing, who suggested the use of treats rather than blows to move the beast; Keldean, Hurrying, who pulled out a handful of oats to lead the creature out of the path; Lek, Laughing, who watched the whole thing delightedly; and Bobbykins, Ponying, who pooped in the path prior to leaving.

Michel Delving: Lost in the Shire

Confusing, twisty, crowded place, filled with friendly (very friendly – too friendly??) hobbits. Oskar came out of a drinking establishment one evening, in very nearly a good mood (helped along by plenty of beer), to find Barrack sitting on a flowerpot. The elder dwarf complained of having been sitting there for Hours, waiting for a familiar face to explain to him how to find his way back to the dwarven encampment. While being stared at by Cicely, Oskar tried to give Barrack directions, and finally decided it would be easier to take him himself. As the two wound their way through the small town, coming at last to their camp, they found Ranon waiting there. Oskar’s pleasant mood vanished at once and he deliberately went in a different way.

A query

I was just wondering to myself, what does BEST stand for in this new cultural grouping? B=Bree E=Ered-luin S=Shire… what does the T stand for with regards to Mithlond? Also what was the basis for Nano as the greeters board/com and minion for the LA board/com. Maybe I am being dense but maybe we should have a cultural competition to come up with more relevant names for all our new boards and coms?

P.S. The Mithlond Admin com is <havens>

T = Tower Hills.

Nano is for the little nano-things that go about an organism and keep things working. I confess to picking that one, because I thought it was fun. I’ve asked Rina about a competition.

Thanks, GL -

Hector Appledore came by the Pony this afternoon, having been told a pile of broken and dented cookware was waiting his attentions. He found Nob somewhat distracted about the inexplicable absence of Lek, his chore boy, and the two drifted into a conversation about the vagaries and thoughtlessness and immaturity of youth. Of course, they decided eventually, there was hope. They did generally grow up…
But what has happened to Lek?

It seems Nob’s kind heart has let that boy, Keldean Pinewick, work at the Pony yet -again-. This time it was after Keldean had disappeared for the entire winter. He’s working in the stables this time, under Acelen. Supposedly he spent the winter off with a bunch of elves and he told Nob that he can speak their language now. If someone were interested they could possibly talk the teen into teaching them a few words…
