**** Harad/Umbar****
Upon receiving Seth’s message from Kurdin, Herumirs party had made their way towards Minas Anor and had started travelling at night to avoid detection.

The trail was dusty from the passage of the remaining Oliphaunts but Herumir was pleased, they had done the impossible and finally where approaching Minas Anor.

While travelling they had found a ship that was stoped off for repairs. The ship had sustained damage in a storm two-nights prior while travelling towards Minas Anor. The captain had lost huge sums of money in damaged produce and had been more than happy to make up the loss by transporting the troop most of the way. Dropping the party in a deserted shoreline 1 day’s journey from Minas Anor to avoid detection.

Herumir left the captain with a full purse and promises of more gold from future trade between the two and as a gesture of good will had even engaged the captain in a mission to start transporting coffee. The captain had sold his remaining produce to Herumir before Turning towards Harad to pickup the first load of coffee.

Herumir was especially pleased; he had purchased several rare items from the ships captain for trade with the city giving the troop a reason for travelling towards the city while not revelling the troops true identity. Travelling now during the day, the group continued on towards the City.
