SCENARIOS

FROM THE BEGINNING: A1.1 At Your Service

A9S4- The Conclusion: It's up to them to thwart the Dark Queen and stop her from getting the shard hidden by the Hobbits all those years ago. Hidden under Old Man Willow, which might explain the foul temper and evil of the once simple Huorn.

A9S3: The Trap: They faked their own funeral to set up a trap to lure Belemir to them.

A9S2-Bree Reunion: They killed a few horses to get there but they made it to Bree where they had a reunion with all the people they'd met over a month ago. More than they expected.

A9S1a-Following Belemir: They travel to Rivendell to get healing for Gorin and to learn more about the amulet they took from Falcor. But they learn more than they expected when reroutes them.

[Due to the fellowship's actions, Section 8 was bypassed.]

A7S5 – Resolutions as Alatopel Rejoices: There is a new Lord of Alatopel.

A7S4 – The Rod of Pallando: They search for the Rod knowing that Caelindur will not stop in her search now that she knows it rests somewhere within the caverns beneath Amon Garzak.

A7S3 – Into the Deep: They started out with the idea of rescuing the dwarven slaves. But who will rescue them from the unholy werewolves that lurk beneath the fortress?!

A7S2 – Rescue the Lady: "Remind me; why did we call the eagles?" Five measly adventurers plan to attack an evil fortress occupied by no less than 50 Orc and trolls. They even have a wizard! Open up a bag of popcorn and read their exploits... or their epitaphs.

A7S1 – Banished Son: Awaken from a restless sleep, they deal with a night attack by wolves before they ride out in search of Malbeth.

A6S4 – Road Maintenance: After dealing with the Breemen bandit survivors and the rescued slaves, they ride onwards towards Alatopel, arriving at the last Bridge that crosses the Hoarwell River. What's that against the arch piling?

A6: Scene 3 – Gloom on Weathertop: With a map provided by Damrod for a promise, they enter the bowels of the hill to gain access to the summit. Was the promise worth it?!

A6: Scene 2 – Bandits: More of Falcor's men dig for the shard. And that requires workers...thus ambushes along the Great East Road at the foot of Weathertop.

A6: Scene 1 – The Forsaken Inn: “Where’s me brother?!” Maybe Jack should have thought twice about bringing home a trophy.

A5: Scene 5 – BedTime Story: New direction and purpose within the ballad sung by the minstrel Bardwyn.

A5: Scene 4 – Fellowship & Level Up: The adventurers take time for needed rest and recovery.

A5S3: Intercept the Wagons: After a good night's rest and planning, they ride off in pursuit of Falcor's wagons. So much for surprise...

A7S3 – Into the Deep

July 27 th : As the eagles flew towards Alatopel, Khalin finally woke, “ We can’t leave! Kyan was right; my brother Glom IS still alive !! Yrreth taunted me with the news how he is being tortured in the caverns beneath the fortress .” Malbeth and Calandhir wanted to return their sister first to her father, “ We will return to aid you .” The eagles agreed to cause distraction upon the ramparts while Thran’s eagle Hrafn stayed low and behind to stealthfully drop the elf and dwarf off near the secret entrance.  Guards : Meanwhile, inside the cavern, Theo lit a torch as he and Kyan descended the stone ramp. It wasn’t long before they heard trolls arguing, “ Put em down. Ya eard Gorzim , we ain’t suppose to eat the dwarves .” “ Come on Bron , it’s a scrawny one at that. He ain’t gonna be missed. Let me eat his leg .” “ Sure, Pell , go ahead. And the hill-troll boss can eat your leg in return. Hill-trolls love cave-trolls better than dwarves anyway. Tastier .”  Theo put out his...

A7S2 – Rescue the Lady

Image
[Edited scenario from  The Doom of Arnulf , by Dean Paolillo] July 25 th /Post Malbeth’s Stand : They stood in awe gazing upon the majestic eagles that arrived. Having seen such great eagles patrolling over his Beorning valley, Theo stepped forward for introductions. Maneldor took his lack of traditions as an insult, “ Radagast told us a whistle might call us to a dire scene yet none is present .” Thran spoke up, “ We faced an overwhelming force and thought we needed your aid .” Maneldor mocked, “ I’m surprised Radagast would have chosen such a faithless group, unsure of your own abilities .” Kyan stepped forward, bowed, nudged the others to bow, and spoke in dwarven, “ Our apologizes for taking you away from your more important patrols. I am Kyan of the Iron Hills clan. This is Thranduil of Mirkwood. He is Theobard the Beorning. You find us standing at a smaller battle that I fear is pretense of a greater war coming. Radagast and King Ellesar tasked us regarding the scattered s...

A7S1 – Banished Son

Image
[From the scenario  The Doom of Arnulf , by Dean Paolillo] July 21 st : They witnessed Lord Arnulf’s ‘return to the living’ when his son Calanhir placed his brother Calanlas’ sword in his father’s hands. After a long-awaited family reunion, Lord Arnulf called the strangers forward, “ Will you honor an old man’s request? I speak to you not as a lord of my people, or with the authority of my lineage but simply as a father. Seek out my children Deoch and Malbeth and bring them to me before I draw my last breath . I must have been spelled to banish my son Malbeth. Spelled indeed to let my wretched nephew Cardoc steal away my daughter Deoch. I need my son Calanhir at my side to lead the defenses of Alatopel. I cannot bear to lose him too out in the wilderness .”  9pm : Concerned about defenses and the threat, Kyan enlisted the women and children to craft hand-mirrors on staffs for use by rampart guards to blind the enemy by reflecting torch light. “ You ...
