I tell Beardything that we want to go south.GM : Treebeard asks why you’d go closer to Saruman ?PC 2 : Saruwho ? Oh, that bastard wizard…PC 1 : I don’t care, I bluff him into it. Yay ! A 19 ! That’s 22 total ! At last some good rolls !GM : OK. The ent takes you south. Suddenly, Orthanc comes into view. The whole area around it is blasted and devoid of trees. Treebeard looks pissed off.PC 2 : Hortank ? What was that again ?GM : (looks annoyed…)PC 1 : See, Treebird, the wizard guy is evil, he’s chopped down all these trees !PC 2 : Well, don't we chop down trees for our winter chimney-fires in the shire ?PC 1 : Shut up, dude !GM : OK, now Treebeard really is fu**ing angry ! He calls in his deep voice. A lot of ents emerge from the trees.PC 2 : Had they been spying on us or what ?PC 1 : OK, let’s go and beat up some orcs ! Hey xps, here we come !GM : (speaks in fake deep voice) No, no, my little friends, says Treebeard. You would die down there. Let the ents go to war !PC 1 : No way, let us down !PC 2 : Yeah ! I ready my +2 magic dagger I got from the Numenor tombs… Oooops… Forget that, the GM scrapped that part of the module…GM : You read the module ?PC 2 : No, no, just the flavour text at the back… Promise !GM (grumbling) : OK, The ents charge into the circular stone area around the tower. Treebeard doesn’t let you down, and that’s all for the best, coz’ a few minutes later, water comes rushing in from a dam the ents have just broken higher in the valley.PC 1 (bored) : How convenient…GM : The orcs are drowned and an ent that they had set on fire is saved by the oncoming water. At the end of the day, the ents are victorious and there are orc bodies floating all around you.PC 1 : OK, how much xp for the orcs ?GM : Well, none, you didn’t do anything…PC 2 : Well you didn’t let us do anything ! And anyway, we participated in the combat, we are entitled to some xps…GM : No way…PC 1 : OK, scrap that. The water must have made all kinds of loot come up to the surface, right ? Let’s go looting…GM (looking at his module worryingly…) : Eeerrrrr… No, there’s nothing apparent…PC 1 : Oh come on, there was loads of stuff in the book…GM (suspicious) : You read the book ?PC 1 : No, no, just the flavour text at the back… Promise !</blockquote>
