Fainan:
Laugh settling to a smile, Fainan cut off a generous portion of the ham onto what would pass for a plate and handed it to Frail. "Good morning!"
To Auros, she commented, "Somehow I seem to be well-rested, and ready to act as your look-out or even, perhaps, sniper in the tower. Do we need to set out a condensing cloth for water, before the morning fog lifts?"

Horn in LotRO lives or dies according to a player decision early in the game. It can cause the other character to die in Horn's place in the game.

Fainan:
Fainan smiled slowly, thinking of a flet so very far away. "The best of destinations, and one we all hope to reach again after our work is done. So, will you be taking the trinket with you?"

Happy Anniversary number 25, here in 2022. One-quarter of a century, gang! Congratulations!
Feel free to add to the Anniversary page all through October.
Text items can be emailed to Varda.
Art can be in Discord or email to Varda. Screenshots for Varda are preferred as email, as they take over the Discord quickly. Music is welcome too, or anything else your very creative minds come up with! The theme this year is Rings of Power, any kind of ring, any kind of power. The chat marathon in Discord runs from the meeting Oct 2 through 9. Come say hi!
Thank you, all, for so many, many wonderful things you've said and done.

"If this device repels evil, might it also detect the direction and perhaps distance of an evil object or creature, giving warning or helping track?"

"I, too, would like to know what quality in your heirloom is keeping us safe, and if it would help us on our journey?"

Fainan:
"Yes, it is my favored weapon. A ranged weapon helps to hit a giant spider before it attacks with a poisoned bite. The name..." She invented one hurriedly, as she made new bows whenever an old one became damaged or she found a better technique for the making. Rivendell had given her several new ideas and a lot of time, when not stuck in the library, to enjoy making this hybrid recurve. "It's name is...SadorcĂ», 'trusty bow', and my hand is the first to bear it. What of your own favored weapon? I would assume it to be of great lineage and craft, with a worthy name?"

Fainan:
Fainan sat up straighter, disturbed by what appeared to be an odd undermining of the patrol leader's authority, but it would probably not hurt anything. Her love of the Greenwood also made her want to speak, but remembering that she should defer to the noble, Calion, she nodded to him and kept quiet.

Fainan:
Fainan smiled and drew her own carved wood plate from her pack, having no desire to attempt the scrubbing necessary to trust an orcish plate anyway. She was more interested in how Frali could answer Telperion's question, as the poor Noldo needed distraction from what appeared to be unfortunate news.

Fainan:
"Indeed there is. Feel free to join us on this fine horse blanket over new hay. But plates? That is less certain."

Fainan:
She nodded to Auros, trying not to comment aloud. Go scout in the fog. That shouldn't be any worse than scouting in Mirkwood mirk.
The top of a building sounded good, like going up a tree in hopes of thinner mirk. These buildings had plenty of faults and junk lying around them, easy to scale. She went up one cautiously, in case some part gave way. This side faced the slight breeze, if one could call that faint air movement a breeze. Slow swirls and obstructions in their movements combined with thinner areas helped. Patience. Wait for clearer spots forming for seconds. Through those came suggestions of narrow roads and the similar height of other buildings. Logic suggested what some might be. Back down from the perch, she stepped quietly along the narrow road, checking those spots that had been uncertain. Some buildings had additional stink to help with identity, but all seemed abandoned. Life kept fairly quiet in the fog, although a few skitterings said some took advantage of being hidden. A few places went underground, so she noted them in her mind to report, not entering alone.
Satisfied that she had a fair idea of the general layout, she returned to those that had spread hay. How thoughtful! They had considered places to rest as well as feed for their mounts. No need to startle armed folk. She tapped the side of the entrance and said, "Mae govannen."
