RESULTS

• Morirúsë failed his Wisdom test. He can either spend 1 to overcome the test -or-

A hero who fails a Corruption check [TN 18] due to Dreadful Spells experiences a harrowing sorrow, causing him to gain an additional number of Shadow points equal to the creature's Attribute level. If the check failed producing an  , then the companion is also Wounded, as an old injury reopens as if inflicted at that very moment.

Wow! A Heart will just make that if he uses it.

  Are the folks who are sitting at 2 or so with their hope able to draw on the fellowship's pool to regains their hope?
Otherwise, a bunch of y'all need to take Confidence as your virtue at this Year's End to reset your hope back to MAX+2. Tate ain't interested in journeying with a bunch of miserable misfits always crying all the time!

The dead have no need for hope.

Paul will be taking over from me as Loremaster for a bit. I am not sure how long he will want to run, but the idea is that we might be changing PC's a bit and explore the Darkening of Mirkwood from another area -or- we keep who we have and the story continues.

My thoughts are, the aftermath of this combat is going to be very draining to these heroes. They will have given much of themselves in defense of their world. If they are put on hiatus while Paul runs, then that gives them the time to be at hearth and home to recoup the losses they have taken. If they are the main characters of Paul's next few chapters, then we will need to find ways to heal both body and soul.

I repeat - the Werewolf of Mirkwood is said to be a fell-spirit of the First Age - no one is getting out of this easily. Hell, even Gandalf died and went back to Valinor to heal when he fought a First Age spirit.

So...let's see what happens!
