"The dog may certainly come," Lindar said with a smile, "As for meeting Thranduil, that is no easy thing even for an elf. I will attempt to pass the well wishes to him, however. Perhaps someday, if you be worthy, he may deign to meet you. Will it just be you two and Hilda, then? Or will any of...

Lindar waits outside the rooms. He offers a slight smile. "I suspected you would like to look around. I thought I'd wait a short while and show you Thranduil's Halls, if you like. What would you most like to see? I will guide you." In conversation with the few elves you've encountered so far...

You notice, perhaps with interest or perhaps not, that the gate and stone you pass under is very obviously Dwarf-wrought. With cautious courtesy, the elves escort the party through a labyrinth of stone to their living quarters. The rooms are fine, and sleep 2 each in comfort. "You are free to...

"Very well," the sentinel said, "You will all be held responsible for whatever deeds you commit while within the Woodland Realm." <Sindarin>"In addition, Dreamer, you will be held partially responsible for the deeds of your companions until they leave the Woodland Realm, as you have vouched for...

<Sindarin> "Radagast is known to us. He is great among the wise, and your education is indeed reflective of such a teacher. I will welcome you into these halls. But, do you also vouch for these companions? Who are they?"

"It is my duty to vet each and every potential entrant to the Woodland Halls, Halvar, son of Halstein," he said, "It is a privilege not freely given to all, and though we know of Baldor and his son, we do not know you. At least, not yet." He then turns to The Dreamer. <Sindarin>"Hail...

With some quick thinking on Ceodric's part, combined with the skill, smarts, and athleticism of the others, a plan is devised. Using ropes, one of the boats, and a woodcutting axe, the party manages to quickly eliminate the blockage in the river, chopping the tree in several sections until a...

How annoying. The notifications for this thread have apparently not been coming through for me, so I thought you guys never posted. Lo and behold, you were. I'm sorry about that. I'll have a new post up first thing when I get back from work today. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Alright! Our Guide needs to make a Survival check. Everyone else can make Survival or Athletics checks. Because of a very good Embarkation roll, you all have advantage. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

It was a good hour before the elves arrived. "Suillad mellon!" the lead elf called to Baldor on sight, "It's good to see you again, Baldor! And well met, to your companions!" "And you, Lindar," Baldor answers. Between the party and the newly arrived elves, the supplies are quickly loaded...

Alrighty. Before I begin our Journey, I assume no party member would object to the most direct route to the Woodland Realm, which is travel by river on a ferry? Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Well, there's the Guide (only one), then there are Lookouts, Scouts, and Hunters. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Ok, so Jago's going to be a scout. Anyone else? This is kinda important to the game and I'd be loathe to move on without having at least a few people pick slots.

Okie dokie. I'm going to be gone a couple days, I'd like you each to decide which Journey role you would like to play. Discuss it amongst yourselves Remember, there can be only one guide, but each other position can have more than one character. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

"Oh, uh, the cart's mostly full of iron tools," Baldor said, "As well as some wooden toys. If you do want to join me, I was getting ready to load the cart onto a ferry just over there." Baldor points past the hill. "In any case, I suppose I need to get back to it. It won't load itself."

Oh, don't apologize. I was just worried people were bored already. Gosh, I'm glad to hear you're ok, Jago. Take what time you need I'll have a post up today, and then you all can start planning your journey.

Ok, cool. I want to keep going, as long as everyone else does Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Ok guys, I just gotta ask (and it's ok if the answer is "no," I won't be offended or disappointed), are you all still into this? Normally new PbP's are jumping, and that just hadn't happened here. Quite the opposite. I'm not sure why, but if this isn't working, that's perfectly fine. We can...

"Oh, of course. See, I'll be going to visit the elvenking first," Baldor explained, "Then after that, it's my intention to take the long road west until I reach the forest gate. Then I'll swing south to trade with Beorn's folk and the Woodsmen." "I like the elves," Belgo says, "They're always...

"Well," Baldor said, "I'm sure you all have business of your own. But, if any of you were willing, I could certainly offer fair payment for an escort across the forest."
