The Road to Erebor RPG

[Hathalas Ashen-Shield]

Hathalas enjoyed talking with Burzdol, finding out lots about him and his company. Then the conversation popped up as to where they were headed. Hathalas was most eager to find out, he wanted to help the company in any way possible.

"We're headed to Erebor," explained Burzdol. " There is, if you haven't heard, a battle going on there and the dwarves wish to aid their kin. Very loyal in my opinion, they also offered rare treasures of their land to find companions for their trip."

"Sounds like an exciting journey all in all," said Hathalas. "So how are you getting there? The High Pass? Caradhras? Moria?"

"Caradhras," Burzdol stated quickly. "It took more debate then we expected at the beginning, but it is our course for certain now."

"Caradhras, really...," Hathalas said in a pondering voice. "My father was a great scout you know, when he was alive, he knew Caradhras so much, he could create a map showing all the different pathways and passes to cross the dreadful mountain with his eyes closed. What’s more, he taught me everything he knew about Caradhras.”

Suddenly an idea popped up inside his head.

“Is your company in need of a guide?”

Burzdol looked up and said “Well yes, none of us are experienced or anything with the mountain, but I don’t know if you’d like to come, there would be dangers after all, and it is a long journey.”

“I owe it to your companions” Hathalas proclaimed. “I would have died for sure out on that orc ridden path if it wasn’t for them. I owe it to them.”

Burzdol grinned. “Well, you’ll have to ask Bali, but I think and hope you’ll be coming with us.

Hathalas smiled also and went up to one of the rooms to rest, stating he’d had enough food and even the talking had tired him out.
