PLEASE NOTE IT IS NOW DAWN, THE NIGHT HAS PASSED

The Perky Ent has requested I set up a little scene to occupy the Rangers and Elves until the time TPE gets back. So:

There are six Dunlendings with no love lost between them and the Rangers. They are on their way to Breeland from their ‘horse-foraging’ in Rohan. The Rangers and Elves are nothing more than obstacles to them and they will gladly kill them all for sport.

Two of the group will spy on the Rangers/Elves as Arathorn’s group heads west on the Great East-West Road toward The Last Bridge, while the other four Dunlendings are going ahead to prepare an ambush just before the last bridge.

They will attack you there . . . this is your opportunity to obtain horses for your group.

It will take your group on foot about three days to reach the Last Bridge. I won’t have time for the attack until Wednesday (four days from now). Can you march the troops along until then?

I’ll have the Dunlendings harass the group a bit as you go along . . . send in their large hunting dogs . . . etc.

Sound ok?

Dibs on a horse!

With any luck - all of you should have a horse!

Now - can someone please rouse the others and get yourselves started west down the road?

Thanks!

Well now Owacyn and Arathorn are alert to the dunlending presence...sorry about the shortness of my post...I wanted to get one up though, and I suppose it was better than nothing in the time I had...

Alrighty. Both this and my post are rather small, sorry. I'm in an internet cafe, and my time is running low. I'll be back on Saturday night, and I'll either edit my last post or do another, depending on where you guys go between now and then.

I also posted this on the game -

Before the misunderstanding about the timeline for the game goes any farther:

Please read my game posts about the Dunlendings and your group of Rangers and Elves. And also my posts on the Discussion thread. And read Madd Baggins recent post also.

Arathorn and his rangers are not just awakening - they are already up, they've eaten breakfast, and they've started down the road. Mad Baggins' character, Beroth, is singing as he walks along.

The Dunlendings are only watching them at the moment - they will not attack until you are near the Ford in the river at The Last Bridge (over the River Mitheithel or Hoarwell in common speech). The dog has been silenced. It was only to make the group wary - it does not herald an attack.

Can someone please get your group about 2 more days down the road and near the Bridge - then the Dunlendings will attack.
