Meneltarmacil's post
"Well, I think this is the spot," Menecar said, coming to where the merchants had been killed.
"Appears that there's not much left." Thoronmir observed. "Whoever killed them has pretty much disposed of the bodies."
"Over here!" Luinen said, pointing at the ground. Several tracks were leading off in the direction of Weathertop.
"Looks like several orcs were here not too long ago," Thoronmir said. "I'd say these tracks are only a few days old at most."
"There are some much larger tracks leading out of this ditch," Menecar added.
"Trolls." Thoronmir looked worried. "They're about the same age as the others. We'd better see if there are any more."
They searched through the area and found many more tracks leading in the same direction.
"Thoronmir, what is it?" asked Luinen. "What's wrong?"
"Shepherdspurse," he answered. "If he got any word out, the time of these tracks would be consistent with the time it would take for them to respond to an andvance notice from him. Meaning our friends are probably going to be in serious trouble..." He looked over toward the line of hills on the horizon, where Weathertop was faintly visible.
