Barrow-Downs Birthday Party at the Fields of Cormallen - Page 16 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Rosseiliantiel · 05-28-2002, 12:33 PM

Rosseil was holding her arm, which had been spattered with dragon's blood. It was (obviously) hurting quite badly and she was just barely holding back tears. She was readying herself for the next attack but when she looked around, the dragon was gone. In fact, all of the creatures of evil were gone. She looked frantically around for Celeae, and saw her sprawled in the coner, bbut alive. Rosseil ran over to her and gave her a big, one-armed hug, and saw that Celeae had been hurt as well. she pulled her to her feet & they set off to find the others.
"what happened? I looked up one minute & they were all gone! did we win? was it us or the Valar or what? is everybody all right?"
"Whoah, slow down, Rosseil! and to be perfectly truthful, i have no idea."

Child of the 7th Age · 05-28-2002, 01:02 PM

Child circulated among the many wounded. She didn't have much to work with. She tore off strips of her long skirt to work as bandages. And she did have a small bottle of water which she always carried at her side.

She looked in dismay at the pages of her annotated Silm. There weren't any germs in the Void so surely this material would be sterile. She gritted her teeth and began wrenching the pages out of the binding. She closed her eyes while she did it. She knew this was too important not to do but she didn't particularly want to watch its destruction.

Then she began to use the pages to mop up blood and other assorted remains. Ugh, Child didn't have much talent as a healer, but she was trying her best. She felt like dumping all this horrible stuff back in the trash can where Morgoth resided, but she knew she dare not take the lid off. To say nothing of the fact, her companions would probably throw her in, if she did anything so stupid!

Frodo Baggins · 05-28-2002, 03:26 PM

Frodo is lying on the ground, tears runnung down his face. "Oh, Child!" he thinks to himself. He thinks for a moment "Yes, yes I can give that to her. If I ever get to it....."

Gimli drains his 784th glass.

VanimaEdhel · 05-28-2002, 05:36 PM

Menelduliniel gives up on the battle and goes to join Gimli in his drinking.

Have room for an Elf over there? And any extra ale? Or ANY liquor?

piosenniel · 05-28-2002, 05:53 PM

Pio felt herself skimming down a long corridor of light and silence, using the now dead laptop like a sled. A sudden whoosh of air & a riot of color and sound assailed her as she fell through the end of the tunnel, landing on her backside on the banks of the Anduin. Near her in a grey heap was Veritas, rubbing her head as if a large headache had invaded it.

Looking around carefully for any signs of Melkor, she walked over and retrieved the laptop. Trashcan or no trashcan, she decided that no loose ends should be left to link the Void to Middle Earth. Taking her small knife from her belt, she pried out all the memory components of the now innocent appearing laptop and drawing her elven blade, she skewered them with a decisive thrust. The green wire that had connected to the REG she hacked into minuscule pieces and threw them in the Anduin. She still worried that Melkor had made off with the REG, but she hoped that the trashcan would be able to contain any tries by him to use the REG.

She walked over to Veritas and helped her to her feet. 'Come on, friend, we're back home & things are safe. I think we've earned some food & drink!'

'Isn't that Gimli, over there with a large tankard in front of him? Let's join him; I think we have some catching up to do. And oooh, I smell wild mushroom stew with herbed dumplings!!'

Samwise · 05-28-2002, 06:39 PM

Stacey looked around. People were converging back on the feild, looking tired.
She still held Frodo in her lap, passed out after his wielding of Galadriel's vial. She turned to Primrose.

Stacey: Prim, I know you hate that skirt...since you've got knee breeches under there, take it off, would you? I need it.

Primrose: *Happily tears off the skirt.*

Stacey: In turn, tears a portion off and uses it to bind the towels to Frodo's wound.

Frodo Baggins · 05-28-2002, 07:26 PM

Frodo opens his eyes "Hullo Stacey. Where's Sam? Did we win? Someone said that being wounded by a Maia was worse than something. Will it kill me?" Frodo ceases speaking, breathing is too painful on its own.

[ May 28, 2002: Message edited by: Frodo Baggins ]

Samwise · 05-28-2002, 08:26 PM

Stacey: That's something I don't know, sir.
Primrose*Looks around* HEY! Wounded hobbit over here! Anyone know anything about wounds given by a Maia?
Sam: Please, Mister Frodo, please be all right!!

Frodo Baggins · 05-28-2002, 09:00 PM

Frodo reaches out and put a hand on Sam's face. Tears are on both their faces. "Sam, I will live for you sake"

Birdland · 05-28-2002, 09:05 PM

Birdie watches as Child rips pages from her beloved Silm to bind the wounds of the B-D warriors scattered around the field. Her heart ached for the scholarly hobbit, "but one who cannot cast away a treasure in need is in fetters, I suppose."

Suddenly she heard someone shout "HEY! Wounded hobbit over here! Anyone know anything about wounds given by a Maia?"

Birdie ran over, ripping off the hem of her favorite cambric shirt as she ran. She saw Samwise, Primrose and Stacy huddling over the prostrate Frodo. "Try bathing his wound with the water in the Phial. It's blessed by the Lady of the Woods herself. It might help a little more than page 382 of 'The Silm', anyway."

Samwise · 05-28-2002, 09:27 PM

Sam: *Wipes away tears, heartened by Frodo's words. At the advice given, he removes the phial from his friend's neck and, looking up at Stacey, who closes her eyes, lips moving in silent prayer, slowly lifts the washrags of of Frodo's wound. It begins to bleed again, but Sam dutifully washes it away with the phial water, blinking back tears.

Veritas · 05-29-2002, 03:05 AM

While drinking with Pio and Gimli and a lot of other people, she smiles, this was how it began, drinking wine with Pio, Birdland and Child.

"Jinkers, a lot happened since I arrived here eight day ago." Veritas sighs and is happy.

"So, what are we going to do now?" Pio asks with a spirit like if nothing happened.

"'What are we going to do now?' Well, rest a little! Maybe an elf like you is not tierd of all this, but I am. But we can do something later, but first, I want a big cup of soup, mushrooms please.!" And she orders two cups of soup.

Rose Cotton · 05-29-2002, 05:06 AM

Rose's eyes flickered open. She felt her streanth coming back. She looked at her right arm and saw it was bound up in cloth and old book pages. She reconized the pages as part of Child's Silm. Wow, I will really have to find some way to repay Child, thought Rose.

She walked to the center of the party field and looked around at where, just a little while ago she had been celebrating free from any worries.

Then Rose made her way to where Veritas, Pio and Gimli were drinking deep. When she reached them she pulled somthing out from under her arm and held it out to them.

THEY ALL STARED AT IT WITH A MIX OF FEAR AND SUPRISE.

"Is that.....?" asked Veritas.

"It's the REG." finnished Rose.

"We knew that." said Pio, growing angry. "How did you get it?"

"Well," she replied " Remember when I was attacking Morgoth I was able to snatch this from him with my little hobbit fingers. He didn't even know I took it."

Around them, others were now looking very frighned by the sight of the REG as if it were a bomb about to go off.

Cimmerian · 05-29-2002, 05:13 AM

It was an uphill task for the RPG brigade to carry the huge entwife Birdland with then after putting much effort in trying to catch her.(We used the REG to sucker punch her... heh heh!)

Cimmerian led from the front, carrying a still loudly snoring Rosa on his shoulder.
He pointed his sword towards the Freestyle RPG room and the brigade began to move, pulling the bound and gagged Birdland behind them. The massive creature was heavy, buy slowly almost imperceptively she began to move as the brigade put their mighty backs and shoulders into the herculean task.

"Onward," shouted Cimmerian, "The prodigal must be returned!"

Losthuniel · 05-29-2002, 05:28 AM

Celeaewen returned to earth rather painfully, having just been wandering the soft darkness of unconsiosness. she groaned, and noticed that there was a bandage on the shoulder that had been caught in dragon's blood. she winced.it was her right arm. better hope no more action came along for some time, at least not her way. and that she would be unable to play her harp. just then she saw Cimmerian and followers trying to go stealthly through the wodds, hindered by the fact that they were dargging Birdland. she shok her head, and hoped that SOMEONE was able-bodied.

Frodo Baggins · 05-29-2002, 09:44 AM

Frodo is still lying down, not being able to stand yet.
"C7A, this is for you." Frodo hands her a book bound in purple velvet with "The Silmarillion" written in gold on the front. The book has a jeweled lock and latch. The lock is open with a solid gold key on a mithril chain.
"I know it can never replace you precious, but it may help."

Frodo Baggins · 05-29-2002, 09:45 AM

YAYYY!! I started another page!!! woo hooo!!!

piosenniel · 05-29-2002, 11:00 AM

Pio took a deep breath and focused on Rose. She ruffled the hair on her head and gave her a big hug.

'I knew you would pull through for us, you little thief!!',she exclaimed with a tone of affection and relief.

Now that they had the REG there was no worry about Melkor figuring out a return engagement using it. The wheels also started turning in Pio's head about the now continued possibility of ransom.

'Rose, Veritas - we've got to get Child and Birdie back here with us. The REG could still net us some tidy profits if we play our cards right this time. Can you find somewhere to keep it secret and safe, Rose? - until we can contact Mithadan again. & please make sure you don't touch any of the buttons, although I think it is still in the *off* mode from Melkor.'

Pio's brain was spinning with possibilities - 'Too bad I had to skewer the laptop.' she thought to herself.'That could have brought in a few bags of silver pieces I'll bet.'

Pio poured Rose, Veritas, and herself a large drink, and the three put heads together and began to consider the next step in their plan.

Birdland · 05-29-2002, 11:23 AM

Birdie had just returned to the Party Field, congratulating her self for her role in "The Battle of the Void", and looking forward to hitting the freshly stocked buffet tables, and more importantly, the freshly stocked bar.

Suddenly a net is dropped over her head, and her hands are bound with heavy, iron chains. It's Cimmerian and his nefarious Roleplaying Press Gang or (RPG)!

"Veterans!" he cackled, "After what you've just been through for the last 5 pages, you lot will do splendid in the Freestyle RPG room."

"And as for you, Birdland. Think you can just go AWOL from A HOBBITS' TALE, do ye? Leave us in the lurch in Bree and just wonder off? We'll see about that! We've got a special 'adventure' for deserters. MuWaHAHA!"

"NOOOOO!" thinks Birdie. I just helped battle Morgoth! I can't go back to standing around ooohhhing and aaahhhing while hobbits stage a make-out party"

Morphing into full Ent Wife mode, Birdie breaks the chains binding her. Grabbing the ends of the chains, she swings Cimmerian's minions over her head and flings them across the field, where they crash into a stockpile of 1420 ale.

"That ought to keep them happy for awhile", said Birdie, then she morphed into her Corfu charater and flew off to the buffet table.

piosenniel · 05-29-2002, 11:36 AM

Pio poured herself another pint of brew and settled back comfortably in her chair. It was good to relax for a while. The wounded seemed to have gotten taken care of and were now refueling their bodies and spirits with food and drink from the sumptuous tables. Rose had gone off to hide the REG and Veritas had gone off in search of a few more mushroom dishes to enjoy.

A sudden scuffle came into pio's field of view, on the farther end of the fields. It was Birdie, and she looked to be in trouble. Someone had thrown a net over her and was attempting to drag her off. But, no, the doughty warrior had ripped off the net and was throwing her assailants right and left. 'An Ent, too' thought pio, tucking away that valuable piece of information. She watched in amazement as Birdie morphed again and flew toward her position.

'Need any help?' asked pio, standing to draw her blade.

'What I need is a large drink or two, and a plate of those fried Mushrooms,' gasped the parched woman.

'Where's Rose, Veritas, and Child?' came the muffled question as Birdie stuffed her mouth with food.

Samwise · 05-29-2002, 01:46 PM

Sam, who had just managed to stop crying over Frodo's being hurt, now started bawling again at his sweet gesture.

Primrose: Oh, Papa.... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Stacey: Prim, I could sure use some tea.

Primrose: *Running off* I'll go see if I can find a pot!

Frodo Baggins · 05-29-2002, 02:01 PM

Frodo is now able to sit up, and is laughing his head off. "Oh, Sam!" giving Sam a hug, "you're hopeless. But hopeless in a good way."

Samwise · 05-29-2002, 02:21 PM

Stacey chuckles. Sam, whose face and eyes are now both red, hugs Frodo back.

Sam: Thank you, sir...*sniffle*

*Stacey gets up and goes to see how Primrose is doing with the tea.*

Rose Cotton · 05-29-2002, 04:55 PM

Rose giggled when Pio ruffled her hair.
And the drinks and food she receved strengthed her enough to go hide the REG.

It was strange that at first she had been trying to stop Pio, Veritas, Child, and Birdie from ransome but now that she was one of them she was contect with whatever they wanted. It felt good to be part of a team.

Then she thought of Pio's words:

'I knew you would pull through for us, you little thief!!'

She was becoming a pritty good theif.
Frodo's jewls, the REG, and Sind's sword. Then Rose looked down at the blade. She had ment to return it but now she saw it was badly stained and worn from it's last battle. She decided she would keep it. Her own elven sword.

"I name you Vardatil from the barrow-down's name generator. It means theif's friend."

Watch out Bilbo, there's a new burgler in Middle Earth. And she went off the find a good hiding place.

Samwise · 05-29-2002, 05:06 PM

Primrose comes back with a cup and saucer in her hands. She walks slowly, so as not to spill it.

Stacey: Ah--thank you much, dear.

She relieves the little hobbit of her "burden", and lets her run back to the kitchen behind the bar. Stacey places the cup and saucer gently in Frodo's lap.

VanimaEdhel · 05-29-2002, 05:09 PM

Menelduliniel sighs, as the battle is over, and she did not have to fight...as she gets a little carried away when she fights. She refills her ale mug for only about the 70th time...

"So: anyone interested in a story...?"

Rose Cotton · 05-29-2002, 05:11 PM

She found a tree were the little box fit perfectly under it's roots. Then covering the place with ferns and grass she returned to her new.... friends? Yes. Definatly. You couldn't save the world without becoming friends.

[ May 29, 2002: Message edited by: Rose Cotton ]

Rose Cotton · 05-29-2002, 05:20 PM

As Rose returns to the bar she spots Sam and decides to talk to him.

"Hello Sam. Hey, you know what would hit the spot right now? If your up to it. Some of your famous coney stew. I fancy Primrose would be able to catch you some rabbits with that bow of hers."

She smiled. Sam always made her smile.

Samwise · 05-29-2002, 05:26 PM

Sam's stomach rumbled at the suggestion.

Primrose jumped up. "I'll be back soon, Papa!" she said, running off into the woods.

Sam: Be careful, Tiny Rose!

Stacey: Watches Primrose run off, wondering if her father's "Coney stew" will be much different from the "Rabbit soup" her pastor's wife used to make....

Quote:

Sam went red to the ears and muttered something inaudible, as he clutched the box and bowed as well as he could.

VanimaEdhel · 05-29-2002, 05:43 PM

Menelduliniel looks around...

"Any takers on the story? I know many good ones..."

Rose Cotton · 05-29-2002, 06:55 PM

Rose watched as Primrose ran off.

Then she remembered the REG. What if Primrose found it while hunting? Rose's stomach lurched. Pio, Veritas, Child and Birdie would be really mad. Then she shook off the feeling. The REG was well hidden. Primrose wouldn't find it.

Then Rose walked over to Pio and Veritas.

Birdland · 05-29-2002, 07:55 PM

Birdie and the other members of the Distaff Fellowship are kicking back, "filling up the corners", so to speak. Birdie reaches for the nearest bottle and puts up her feet.

"A story sounds good about now, Menelduliniel. Let's here it."

Rose Cotton · 05-29-2002, 08:44 PM

"So Rose," asks Child "Where did you hide the REG."

"Under a tree deep in the forest over there. It's as snug and a hobbit in a hobbit hole. How much do you think we could get for it?" Replyed Rose.

Rose Cotton · 05-29-2002, 08:48 PM

Just then Primrose returned from the trees.
She had sussecfully caught a good number of rabbits.

Rose watched anxiously to see if Primrose had the REG with her or not. She couldn't tell if that was just another rabbit under her arm or not.........

Frodo Baggins · 05-29-2002, 09:39 PM

Frodo looked at the cup and saucer in his lap, and then at Stacey "And you did this because....? I hope C7A liked my gift, she hasn't said anything." *sigh*

Samwise · 05-29-2002, 10:14 PM

Sam's jaw drops at the sight of the number of coneys Primrose has brought back in such a short time.
Sam:"Tiny Rose?? Where'd you get all them? "

Primrose: *chuckles* Well, Papa, I guess all of our --uh-- 'craziness' out here scared 'em all out of wherever they were hidin'--or, now that things've calmed down, they all came out to see if things were safe--*smirks* and then I came along.
*She heaves one from over her shoulder, lifts one arm and lets one drop to the ground, and does the same with the one in the other hand.*

Stacey wonders if they're going to "fix" the rabbits here, but Sam says:

Come on, Tiny Rose, let's take them down by the river an' do some skinnin. I wonder if they've got the herbs I use, here....

*He and his daughter pick up the rabbits and head for the river. Stacey heaves a sigh of relief that they aren't going to "fix" the rabbits right there.

She turns to Frodo.

Well, tea always calms my nerves. Sad to say, that's probably one of the only "hobbity" things about me, 'cept that my hair's brown and I like flowers. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Samwise · 05-29-2002, 10:17 PM

Stacey: And Frodo, I'm sure C7A liked your gift. I saw that she seemed awfully upset having to do what she did with hers--but I'm glad she did--it was necessary. Maybe she just hasn't 'come down' from all the craziness, yet, either.

Kettle of fish · 05-29-2002, 10:32 PM

Ket balanced painfully on a stool. Somewhere in the melee, it had been used as a helmet and now had a large dint. More upsettingly, its fish were missing, and it had no idea what was going on.

Birdland · 05-30-2002, 12:21 AM

(Hee-Hee!) Anyone wanna tell Ket what happens to fish at Barrow Down parties? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

At the advice given, he removes the phial from his friend's neck and, looking up at Stacey, who closes her eyes, lips moving in silent prayer, slowly lifts the washrags of of Frodo's wound. It begins to bleed again, but Sam dutifully washes it away with the phial water, blinking back tears. __________________ Giving thanks unto the Father...In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins.~Colossians1:12a,14 * * * * * * I am Samwise son of Hamfast, if by hoe or trowel I can get these weeds out of your garden, I will.You have my shears!;)

Veritas Wight Join Date: May 2002 Location: The Netherlands Posts: 131	While drinking with Pio and Gimli and a lot of other people, she smiles, this was how it began, drinking wine with Pio, Birdland and Child. "Jinkers, a lot happened since I arrived here eight day ago." Veritas sighs and is happy. "So, what are we going to do now?" Pio asks with a spirit like if nothing happened. "'What are we going to do now?' Well, rest a little! Maybe an elf like you is not tierd of all this, but I am. But we can do something later, but first, I want a big cup of soup, mushrooms please.!" And she orders two cups of soup. __________________ With the birds I'll share this lonely view. ~Red Hot Chili Peppers, Scar Tisue~ Laurëfin

She looked at her right arm and saw it was bound up in cloth and old book pages. She reconized the pages as part of Child's Silm. Wow, I will really have to find some way to repay Child, thought Rose. She walked to the center of the party field and looked around at where, just a little while ago she had been celebrating free from any worries. Then Rose made her way to where Veritas, Pio and Gimli were drinking deep. When she reached them she pulled somthing out from under her arm and held it out to them. THEY ALL STARED AT IT WITH A MIX OF FEAR AND SUPRISE. "Is that.....?" asked Veritas. "It's the REG." finnished Rose. "We knew that." said Pio, growing angry. "How did you get it?" "Well," she replied " Remember when I was attacking Morgoth I was able to snatch this from him with my little hobbit fingers. He didn't even know I took it." Around them, others were now looking very frighned by the sight of the REG as if it were a bomb about to go off.

Cimmerian Shade of Carn Dûm Join Date: Apr 2002 Location: Aquilonia Posts: 382	It was an uphill task for the RPG brigade to carry the huge entwife Birdland with then after putting much effort in trying to catch her.(We used the REG to sucker punch her... heh heh!) Cimmerian led from the front, carrying a still loudly snoring Rosa on his shoulder. He pointed his sword towards the Freestyle RPG room and the brigade began to move, pulling the bound and gagged Birdland behind them. The massive creature was heavy, buy slowly almost imperceptively she began to move as the brigade put their mighty backs and shoulders into the herculean task. "Onward," shouted Cimmerian, "The prodigal must be returned!" __________________ IN STEEL I TRUST, BY CROM!

"C7A, this is for you." Frodo hands her a book bound in purple velvet with "The Silmarillion" written in gold on the front. The book has a jeweled lock and latch. The lock is open with a solid gold key on a mithril chain. "I know it can never replace you precious, but it may help." __________________ "I'm your huckleberry....that's just my game."

She ruffled the hair on her head and gave her a big hug. 'I knew you would pull through for us, you little thief!!',she exclaimed with a tone of affection and relief. Now that they had the REG there was no worry about Melkor figuring out a return engagement using it. The wheels also started turning in Pio's head about the now continued possibility of ransom. 'Rose, Veritas - we've got to get Child and Birdie back here with us. The REG could still net us some tidy profits if we play our cards right this time. Can you find somewhere to keep it secret and safe, Rose? - until we can contact Mithadan again. & please make sure you don't touch any of the buttons, although I think it is still in the off mode from Melkor.' Pio's brain was spinning with possibilities - 'Too bad I had to skewer the laptop.' she thought to herself.'That could have brought in a few bags of silver pieces I'll bet.' Pio poured Rose, Veritas, and herself a large drink, and the three put heads together and began to consider the next step in their plan. __________________ Eldest, that’s what I am . . .

Birdland Ghastly Neekerbreeker Join Date: Dec 2001 Location: the banks of the mighty Scioto Posts: 1,751	Birdie had just returned to the Party Field, congratulating her self for her role in "The Battle of the Void", and looking forward to hitting the freshly stocked buffet tables, and more importantly, the freshly stocked bar. Suddenly a net is dropped over her head, and her hands are bound with heavy, iron chains. It's Cimmerian and his nefarious Roleplaying Press Gang or (RPG)! "Veterans!" he cackled, "After what you've just been through for the last 5 pages, you lot will do splendid in the Freestyle RPG room." "And as for you, Birdland. Think you can just go AWOL from A HOBBITS' TALE, do ye? Leave us in the lurch in Bree and just wonder off? We'll see about that! We've got a special 'adventure' for deserters. MuWaHAHA!" "NOOOOO!" thinks Birdie. I just helped battle Morgoth! I can't go back to standing around ooohhhing and aaahhhing while hobbits stage a make-out party" Morphing into full Ent Wife mode, Birdie breaks the chains binding her. Grabbing the ends of the chains, she swings Cimmerian's minions over her head and flings them across the field, where they crash into a stockpile of 1420 ale. "That ought to keep them happy for awhile", said Birdie, then she morphed into her Corfu charater and flew off to the buffet table.

It was good to relax for a while. The wounded seemed to have gotten taken care of and were now refueling their bodies and spirits with food and drink from the sumptuous tables. Rose had gone off to hide the REG and Veritas had gone off in search of a few more mushroom dishes to enjoy. A sudden scuffle came into pio's field of view, on the farther end of the fields. It was Birdie, and she looked to be in trouble. Someone had thrown a net over her and was attempting to drag her off. But, no, the doughty warrior had ripped off the net and was throwing her assailants right and left. 'An Ent, too' thought pio, tucking away that valuable piece of information. She watched in amazement as Birdie morphed again and flew toward her position. 'Need any help?' asked pio, standing to draw her blade. 'What I need is a large drink or two, and a plate of those fried Mushrooms,' gasped the parched woman. 'Where's Rose, Veritas, and Child?' came the muffled question as Birdie stuffed her mouth with food. __________________ Eldest, that’s what I am . . .

Rose Cotton Ghost Prince of Cardolan Join Date: Dec 2001 Location: A place worse then Mordor........School! Posts: 1,075	Rose giggled when Pio ruffled her hair. And the drinks and food she receved strengthed her enough to go hide the REG. It was strange that at first she had been trying to stop Pio, Veritas, Child, and Birdie from ransome but now that she was one of them she was contect with whatever they wanted. It felt good to be part of a team. Then she thought of Pio's words: 'I knew you would pull through for us, you little thief!!' She was becoming a pritty good theif. Frodo's jewls, the REG, and Sind's sword. Then Rose looked down at the blade. She had ment to return it but now she saw it was badly stained and worn from it's last battle. She decided she would keep it. Her own elven sword. "I name you Vardatil from the barrow-down's name generator. It means theif's friend." Watch out Bilbo, there's a new burgler in Middle Earth. And she went off the find a good hiding place. __________________ "There's nothing you can do, Harry... nothing... he's gone."-Remus Lupin "The closer we are to danger, the further we are from harm."-Pippin (now how can you argue with that logic?)

Stacey: Ah--thank you much, dear. She relieves the little hobbit of her "burden", and lets her run back to the kitchen behind the bar. Stacey places the cup and saucer gently in Frodo's lap. __________________ Giving thanks unto the Father...In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins.~Colossians1:12a,14 * * * * * * * I am Samwise son of Hamfast, if by hoe or trowel I can get these weeds out of your garden, I will.You have my shears!;)

What if Primrose found it while hunting? Rose's stomach lurched. Pio, Veritas, Child and Birdie would be really mad. Then she shook off the feeling. The REG was well hidden. Primrose wouldn't find it. Then Rose walked over to Pio and Veritas. __________________ "There's nothing you can do, Harry... nothing... he's gone."-Remus Lupin "The closer we are to danger, the further we are from harm."-Pippin (now how can you argue with that logic?)
