Burzdol has just left Hobbiton.
The Eye

Burzdol took his knife and carved his own target on a tree at the other side of the camp. He was mad about the small bandit raid and unleashed arrow after arrow at the tree. After he successfully emtied out his supply of arrows he walked to the tree to pull them back out. Now he was very frustrated that he had only gotten a few in the center when he usually gets more in.

The elf was suprised that everyone went back to the contest. Though I guess to us these are going to be a natural occurance. He was getting bored of shooting at a stationary target so he rallied a few other dwarves and went into the woods.

Eventually the party came back, loaded with animals for fresh meat. They laid down the animals and got someone to cook it. Soon the aroma of cooked meat surrounded the camp. Everyone grabbed some food and sat to talk with each other.

Burzdol sat watching the tree line incase of more bandits. Slowly a small body creeped into the fire lit camp. The elf looked closer and noticed that it was a small red-haired hobbit. Burzdol walked over to the little hobbit, "Hello, may we help you little master?"

"Sir, may I have a....um a little bit of food. I've been traveling for awhile now and I'm very hungry."

"Sure young 'un. Help yourself you can sit with me. The odd pair walked to the fire for some food and then to where Burzdol had sat. With him was the hobbit, Hogar, Kaldon, Eruantalon and Bali.

"So, who's this and what's his name?" Bali asked when he first saw the hobbit.

"Hi, I'm Serello Brandybuck, sir. I thank you for the food," he said shaking Bali's hand.

"Very polite. You can have as much food as you want."

"Burzdol, may I have a word with you and Erulon?"

The trio walked to the outskirts of the camp. "I think something happened to him. He looks weary. Can he stay with us?" Burzdol asked.

"I don't care as long as he has a weapon and doesn't get in the way. Then all you have to do is look after him."

They walked back to continue eating. Even before they sat down Hogar volunteered to keep an eye on him. He and Serello happened to like each other a lot and Hogar hadn't done anything lately. So they accepted and a new person was added.
