The Hobbits are now starting to gather at Tom's house to leave.
As Nilly has suggested - can everyone please do a next morning post - say your good-byes and get from your Hobbit hole to Tom's house. We can take off from there. Please do not wait until Nilly posts on Thursday to do this. Once she has posted, then we can take off for Bree. Here is a map of the Shire from The Atlas of Middle-earth by Fonstad: Shire Map Tuckburrough (or Tuckburrow) is in the Westfarthing - just to the right of where it says Tookland on the map |

Hi everybody!
I'm sorry that it took so long before I got to fill my save on the first page. (Party post) I haven't had computer access for the last couple of days, so therefore I was delayed. Anyway, I've filled it now, and I'll be writing a "morning post" now. Orofaniel

Please note I am going to carry along 2 of our absent and now off the game posters’ characters:
Estelle Tunnelly Gorbadic Willow (Madoc’s cousin) Other posters can also use them as needed. One of them will probably be the first casualty of the journey. ![]() Madoc has a large wagon he is bringing. It might be nice if one of the other characters would bring a small wagon along. I’ve left a lead-in for that in my last post. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ By Saturday we need to be well on the way to Bree, as the game, which opened on 1/16, was scheduled to run 10 weeks, and on 2/20 we will be five weeks into it. Niluial – Please check your PM’s. ~*~ Pio

Ok I am reminding all the posters who haven’t posted their morning post that Saturday is the last day! Then we need to start getting other posts up… I have more time seeing school has quietened down, so I’ll have more time to devote to the game.
Best Wishes, Niluial

ON THE ROAD TO BYWATER
Just a reminder to the players:
The game was opened on 1/16 and was scheduled to run 10 weeks. We are now 5 weeks along today. __________________________________ So, I have gotten us on the way north to Bywater and the Green Dragon Inn, where we can spend a night – resting and gathering news about conditions on the Great East Road which the group will take into Bree. The snow has stopped for the day, and the sun has come out. The dirt road from Tuckburrough to Bywater will still be snowy, but melting a bit as the day goes on. There are iced over ruts in the road, and as the group moves along someone in front might notice animal tracks frozen in the mud where the animal(s) might have crossed. Some of the tracks will be small animals – but some sharp-eyed Hobbit might notice the larger tracks of wolves . . . As the group start outs – all are on foot except Madoc, Estelle Tunnelly, and Hob who are on the wagon seat. Please feel free on the journey to get down from the wagon or get on it as you please. And Daisy (Oro) – Madoc’s cousin Gorby is busy chatting you up . . . ![]() Let’s get some traveling posts on board. By tomorrow, let’s get us ½ way to Bywater and have the group stop for a quick lunch and rest . . . the group can discuss the tracks that someone or a number of Hobbits has found. |

It's late afternoon, near dinner time. The Hobbits have made it to the Green Dragon Inn. Ale and hot tea all around! And a nice warm fire.
They have heard some unwelcome news about the road ahead . . .

Hi Everyone
I planned on getting my post up yesterday but I am having problems with my asthma. If my asthma attacks continue I need to get the hospital. I will try and get my post up tonight but if I don’t then it will be tomorrow. So its all depending on whether I go to the hospital or not. But please keep posting! ~Niluial

I will be in hospital until Sunday or Monday. If I need to stay longer my mom will lend me her laptop. Please get your Green Dragon Inn posts going so we can move on. My post is up, like promised.
Until then, best wishes! Niluial

Niluial is ill and in the hospital. She will be back on Monday and has asked that the game players have their Green Dragon Inn posts done, so that we can head down the road toward Bree.
Synopsis of what is happening at present: The group has made it to Bywater and are at the Green Dragon Inn. It is very late in the evening and the group has been listening to some tales by one of the old gaffers in the Inn. He has told them that not many travelers have come along the Great East Road (the road we will be using) of late. And the last one who did spoke of seeing tracks that criss-crossed the road – wolves, he thought. Monday the group will be up early and heading down the road to Frogmorton – the next atop on the road. There is an Inn there called The Floating Log. I expect that somewhere along this section of the road there may be an unfortunate encounter. ![]() Please take a look at the game – and get a post up for your character. Thanks! ~*~ Pio

Ah... sorry it took so long, but I submitted my post a few hours earlier today. May not be able to post in the next couple of days, however, as I'm being contantly bothered by testing, but I should be able to post after that.

I really think we need to get the story moving along now. How much longer do we have left exactly?

Phervasaion is right - the end date for this game is 03/26 - 20 days from now.
Tomorrow, regardless of who has not posted, I am moving us ahead two days game time, to just before we get to Buckland. I'll set up an 'incident' to happen. From there we can regroup and do another time and distance post to get us very near Bree. Just prior to it on the Great East Road that we're on is the Barrow Downs - we can have the final confrontation there. The last week can see our very reduced numbers getting back to Tookland. Sound doable? ~*~ Pio

Yes Pio, sounds like a good idea. Ok I think an incident would be a good idea but which idle gamer will be killed off? Thanks Elentari for posting umm… ok so we will be moving on tomorrow!
Should we stop and camp once more or head straight to bree with out stops. No… I think it might be a bit too far. I was also thinking food could be getting scarce… but bad that they end up feeling weak, unhealthy etc making the journey much harder… ~Niluial

Attack Alert!
There are 7 large, wild dogs just crossing the stream and heading for the Hobbit group. 2 others have just knocked Estelle down and killed her. They are in the process of dragging her off to eat later. Of the 7 dogs – 4 of them are coming directly at the group, while 3 of them are circling around in the trees and will attack from the rear of the Hobbit group . . . Have at it Hobbits, and see how many you can down . . . feel free to sustain injuries and to kill or wound any number of the dogs . . . they are starving and will want to bring down as many of you as they can for food . . . ----------------------------- Estelle can die in this one - we can leave Gorbadic for the next one. Neither Elentari or dragoneyes has posted to the game in 2 weeks - their characters are also up for being killed off . . .

Right, you got me posting, there's no way my Hob-lad is being killed by some pesky dogs! It'll take orcs to get rid of him!
(also, my apologies for being so utterly terrible with the posting)

I have been asking the same question... I was speaking to Imladris and she says the RPG she is in is also going slow... maybe its just a bad month or something. My post should be up in the next hour... a few changes need to be done.

The little group has gotten free of the hole and is now at the gates of Bree -
Can someone please get us into Bree and begin picking up some supplies? We should then get on our way back to Tookland - the time for playing the game will soon be up - and I believe Nilly has one more attack on the poor Hobbits planned . . . ![]()
