Hey, I like this idea, especially wolves (regular wolves would work)....a really creepy pack of hungry wolves following along in the wake of the shadow thing. Maybe someone could do a post for the wolves as they make their way towards the north intending to join up with the shadow creature but then see the Inn in their path and decide to stop and have a little "snack" first.

I don't think bringing the big shadow thing back to the Inn is a good idea. The animals would have the same problem dealing with it there as they did out in the forest and plain. The creature is just too powerful for them to make any real contribution to its defeat. I think we need a "villain" that's more their own size. You could have cooperation between the animals and the people at the Inn in order to defeat the wolves.

I do like the idea of the wolves. If you'd like, I can do a post where Owl decides to fly back to the Inn and check on the animals there. This would be a credible choice for him since he is nominally "leader" of those animals. He can do a reconnaisance flight above the Inn to check that everything's alright, see a ravenous wolf pack approaching from the south, then head straight towards the Inn and hoot out a warning to the residents to get ready for a possible attack. Finally, he would race back to Mori and Stamo to beg for their assistance.

If you think this will work, let me know and I'll get the post up.

"Wren" checking in here. Ready and willing to pull out the tail hairs of some nasty wolf and peck their evil little eyes out!!!!

I'm really excited to see this taking off for the inndwellers and animals. It was needed. Thanks, Child, for speaking up.

Owl should take flight tomorrow.... He had plans for tonight but got waylaid by an attack of the Easterlings in the Shire.

Save filled.

Good grief! I haven't the slightest idea how Owl can make known the danger he's seen and heard. Now that Mori and Stamo have left, how will those inside the Inn understand what is going on as they speak a different tongue? Right now all the animals have gathered in the courtyard and are making very loud, disruptive noises. Anyone care to have a stab at resolving this?

Save filled again.

Envinyatar -

When your characters arrive, they may notice a large mob of animals who have crowded into the Inn, hoping to get protection for their young ones.

Good luck in sorting this out.....
