Flight From Rohan: Discussion Thread

[piosenniel]

Alright - it looks as if the Hyldeson group is now set up to be lost in the sparsely populated wilds between the North-South Road and the River Sirannon to the north of it.

It is a low hilly area with some low-lying fertile areas nearer the road. Hillmen and shepherds sparsely populate this area.

I am supposing this is where the Ranger will find them . . . yes?

Hunters - the Forgoil/Hama group

The group of Hunters have now discovered all the horses are dead and that the escapees are on foot. They have reasoned that the escapees will head toard a safe Mannish settlement, avoiding any encounters with the foe of the Rohirrim - the Dunlanders, if possible.

The Hunters will go north a short way and find the grown over, Old South Road that leads up to Tharbad on the Greyflood River, thinking this is where they will find the escapees.

It is about 200 miles from the Hunters' present position to Tharbad - about 1 1/2 weeks of riding. We should sight the road after 2 days of riding north. The start of it should be just a little southeast of Methedras, the last tall peak of the Misty Mountains.

We will be on a much overgrown road going north west - a broad fertile plain will be to our left and on our right will also be fertile lands, broken up by small hilly rises.

Who wants to do a post for the Hunters getting them to the Road start?

After that, Hunters, we need posts encompassing two or three days of riding - thoughts on the countryside, irritations with the others in the group, etc. can all show up in this. Hunting might be poor and provisons getting short (perhaps they didn't plan that it would take this long to find the escapees). Whatever you want to do is good as the group passes along this long section of road.

Here is a map of the area we are all currently in:
