Opening Scene
As you arrive at the high, wind swept hill of Amon Sul, You see that you were apparently not the only one who was drawn here. For, around a large camp fire near the southern base of the hill, you see figures who do not appear to be together, but are all waiting for someone or something. Near the fire is the base of a large monument of some kind. The monument itself lays broken nearby.
<Please describe your actions as you enter the scene, in the order of arrival>

After putting away his token, Valangil makes his way to the monument to build the signal fire as Arador has instructed. Thinking how odd to be starting a mission of stealth with such a beacon.
As he gathers the wood for the fire, he thinks again on the company it will his duty to guide in these dangerous times. Four men, two of the fair folk, a dwarf, and one of the small folk. Once again he thinks interesting times...
After he gets the fire started he thinks it would be a shame to waste, and goes about collecting a meal for the future arrivals. Most likely in this area he have to settle for creatures of the brush.
Then he settles with his back to a tree and awaits the arrival of this company that is to assemble.

What? Me Worry?
Lanwi approaches the hill, his spear strapped to his back so as to be non-threatening, and hails everyone there. "I have been on a long walk. Perhaps I could rest here with you good folk a while?" He smiles and nods to everyone in a show of good will.

A lone horse slowly clops down the Great East Road, its rider lost in reverie, eyes focused on the horizon but seeing nothing. His age is indeterminate, his frame and suppleness in the saddle suggest that he still possesses youth whilst the careworn face and hollow, bag lined eyes do not. His thoughts seem to return to the present and he looks around, seeing for the first time the looming presence of Weathertop to the north.
He notices the small encampment, directs his horse over to the fire and dismounts. He meets eyes with the stranger sitting by the fire and he glances over his armour.
"Heya, man of the north, this is not a land to travel alone, do you mind if I share your camp?"
He unloads his saddlebags and as he leans over to place them on the ground a neck chain slides out from under his shirt, bearing a silver token. He glances at the stranger and sees recognition. He seems to relax and moves towards the stranger, extending his hand in friendship.
"I am Eidar, once rider of the mark, now it seems though that I will ride in different company."

Lorin, son of Parin, has reached the ruins of Amon Sul. As he ambles up the hill, he notices a fire. Surrounding this fire is an encampment where two humans are talking. Lorin sees two men, one has an axe. The dwarf looks in appreciation at the axe and mumbles, "I finally get to meet a human that knows how to fight." Also, Lorin looks dissapprovingly at the large horse nearby.
As he walks up to the encampment, Lorin pulls out his token and shows it to the men.
"I am Lorin, son of Parin. Have you guys seen a man in green mail?."

On seeing the token Valangil visibly relaxes. He rises and says "Welcome friend, come share a meal and relax by the fire. I am Valangil protector and guide in these lands."

Ripping a chunk of meat off the bone with his teeth, Lorin asks "Do either of you know to what purpose we have been sent to this place?"

"Welcome all" Valangil replies "come join us. As for your questions friends, I do indeed know of a man in green mail and expect him here within a few days time. As for what he wants I know in general but it would be best for him to explain it to you, that way it only needs to be explained once, we seem to still be missing a few. A man of Gondor, two of the fair folk, and wonder of wonders one of the wee folk."

Ethendil rides to the base of the hill after spotting the campfire. Seeing a silver token matching his own, he dismounts landing lightly on his feet. Nodding to those assembled he asks, "may I join your camp?"
