The group is on Axis Island (1st book) and had just entered the outer fortress.I don't want to put something in that's too much of a red herring or too blantantly obvious. But it should be clear enough, that this is very much a Tolkien thing.Ideas so far:-- A Black Rider appearing in the town, disappearing around a corner. If I play on the emenating fear thing, the group should get it. I'd rather have something more interactive.-- Have a "Gandalf" appear just as the group approaches the inner fortress (before opening the sea gate, mind) yelling "Flee fools!" in his best Moria-style. Very much on the nose.-- Have a little hobbit appear out of thin air, groping for the ring that just fell of his finger, putting it back on and disappearing. Again, not interactive at all.-- Have one char (idealy the percieved "weakest" stumble upon a ring of invisibility. Play strongly on the Tolkien theme, seeing Sauron's eye, world turning black and white, all the Peter-Jackson-visuals. The ring would disappear after the session (or at the end of the story arc). VERY interactive, might wreak havoc on balance, but so far still my favorite.Any other ideas?</blockquote>
