The cool spring air was invigorating as they rode out of Bree and towards the Chetwood. She paused at the top of the hill reigning Aelfric in and peered down towards the forest ahead.

"Certainty of death. Small chance of success. What are we waiting for?"

Léofwyn will go for route 2

Léofwyn can take the look-out role again. Do we need much in the way of supplies except for a few rations? Archet is pretty close, within a day I imagine, and we have our mounts.

I think the plan was to see Harry Talltree first and then pay a visit to Mr. Skunkwood in Archet.

It should be to your liking. As for my horse, I am afraid he does not tolerate other riders. But if you fancy a new hat, I believe that there is a hatter among the merchants at Three-Farrow Hall, near the East Gate." OOC I figure Léofwyn would have stabled the ponies that the party purchased over the winter. Likely with Knut or Butterbur.

Her eyes seem to be fixed afar for a moment. She lets out a short cough as a cloud of pipe smoke wafts into her. She frowns and waves it away as her attention returns. Léofwyn considers Fletcher's invitation for a brief moment then nods in agreement. "It would be good to have another among us." She turns to Dandi with a smile, "Tell me, Master Puddifoot, do you know how to ride? We do intend to move with some haste if we are to get ahead of Gorlanc." Show this

What a strange and curious fellow, though he seemed friendly enough. She grinned at the offer of more ale and Fletcher's praise of the batch. "That it is." She agreed and raised her mug to clink it with the others before turning her attention back to the hobbit. "Do not listen to the rumors that Butterbur would spew, our dear ranger friend is as noble as any man of Bree. I would take his word over that of ten-score others here. His tongue may sound grim but he does speak the truth." She winked at Amdiran and continued. "As for me, I am Léofwyn, and I hail from the West-March of Rohan. Where any news of interest is few and far between, particularly concerning hobbits." She smiled and emptied her mug. "But what business would bring a gentle-hobbit, such as yourself, so far from the Shire to seek such news?" Show this

The familiar smell of Butterbur's ale coupled with the sounds of merry conversation gave off a welcoming aura. The sight of her friends gathered around a table near the fire made it even more so like home. She greeted them warmly and sat down as they caught up on the past few weeks over a few pints of ale. Soon the conversation turned towards Gorlanc and the business of what to do next. "I agree, Harry Talltree would be a good place to start. Perhaps we should also pay a visit to this Skunkwood fellow in Archet. He may be of some use ot us yet." Show this

An auspicious day! Happy to add that my wife and I just welcomed our newest baby boy. Everyone is doing well. Things will be a little hectic until we settle in at home. I will catch up on the new adventure this week.

That's pretty awesome!

Say no more, I have also been called to serve Super Earth!

To undertake the trip at the onset of winter only compounds the difficulty. However the added discomfort and misery allows for a relatively safe passage. Fewer enemies tend lurk along the road in these conditions. The small caravan carefully made their way south at as comfortable a pace they could afford. Luck would be on their side however, as no sign of bandits or Dunland war parties were encountered. After what felt like an eternity Léofwyn rode through the gates and into the courtyard of Fowlmere manor. The high peaks of the White Mountains glittered in the distance from a fresh snow and small whisps of chimney smoke rose above the hamlet as the folk went about their day. She was glad to be home, it had been nearly a year since her last visit. Yet much had changed. Her father's grave mound now sat vigil outside the gates, wreathed in Simbelmynë among those of his ancestors. Now her brother sat upon the seat of the house. She led Aelfric to the stables and went to see her family. The weeks of winter moved slowly in Fowlmere. Léofwyn spent much of it helping her mother, telling tales of adventure to her nieces and nephews, relaying trade and merchant news to her brother and his council. Yet her most cherished time was taking Aelfric to ride on the open grasslands and pastures surrounding the small village. Their time away from the rolling plains had led to the warhorse losing a bit of his edge. Aelfric seemed to gain a newfound confidence with their return. Even the stablemaster remarked on his change in stature and demeanor. Léofwyn did not know whether it was the weeks of training or the return to home, but the warhorse seemed invigorated, stronger and prouder than ever. As the winds of winter began to subside and the mountain creeks sprang to life again Léofwyn knew it was time to return to Bree. She bid farewell to her brother and family and joined a caravan heading west. The return journey was mostly uneventful, a small band of Dunland scouts attempted to waylay the group but were driven off after a brief engagement. Luckily no one was severely injured and they were able to continue without further altercation. The only obstacle upon the road was the thick mud, freshly thawed from winter. Upon her return to Bree Léofwyn met with Flòri and payed the remaining sum for her new sword. She then proceeded to the Prancing Pony where she found Orn among the patrons. OOC I'm paying 6g to 'upgrade' Aelfric from a Palfrey horse to a Destrier (p.149 Rohan guide) Léofwyn will also be completing the Rohan Horse training undertaking and will give Aelfric the 'Strong' trait. (p.152 Rohan Guide) Upon her return to Bree she will collect the Broadsword from Flòri.

No worries, it's a different pace than the adventure phase. I'll wrap up Leofwyn's adventure in my next post then I'll be ready to move forward.
