 :ooc: so Rorin made the helm, but something happened to it in the barrow?

Player supposition is that it was possessed or cursed. This is probably something we need to discuss with Radaghast. Carwin doesnt seem like a bad dude just a little squirrely.

Problem Two. Mogdred. (I hate that guy) needs to be dealt with. I think there may be a play here though. I dont want to tip my hand to the LM on this though just yet.

Need to know who is on the Council, who gets a vote, so we'll need to lore and stories about this from the Firewatcher.

Paul, i recall a Yule or two ago someone approached Hathcyn about Mogdred and he asked them to get more info. i am thinking that was the wainrider chick? Maybe we need to see of we can find her or send a spy to Tyrant's hill.

Darkening of Mirkwood [LotR TOR] / The Shadow of the Helm

For two days, Caewin and his folk tarry at the Fox's Tale and enjoy the easy hospitality of Hathcyn as the eldest among them recover their strength and begin to speak with less trepidation and more excitement about the journey ahead.  "Five days," they say to each other, "if the weather and wain-axles hold, and we shall see at last the grandest of all houses of our folk." 

This last, however, is spoken in hushed tones, for Caewin boasts unceasingly about the Sunstead.  "Ah, my friends, you must consider yourselves invited, for my hall will soon match that of the King of Dale himself in its splendour.  Why, I mean to bring carvers and craftsmen back with me when I return who shall make the very timbers of my house a thing of wonder as they recount the tales of the old Rhovanion kingdom even to the present day.  Do not think that you will be ignored either!" he calls to Esgalwen as she sits with a handful of other warriors, fletching arrows.  "To every guest I will show the scene of your defeat of the king of the wights that brought peace between the living and the dead!" 

And all this for a carpet, Hathcyn muses as he watches Saradoc sleep upon it by the hearth. 

Soon enough, though, the day comes when wain and bags are packed, walking sticks are taken once again in hand and Caewin's followers set off once again for the south, their number now greater for that of the Fellowship of the Helm.  A light and sweet rain falls, but though the elders grumble and hide beneath heavy cloaks most seem glad to be abroad once again.  Perhaps it is simply that the end of their long journey feels at last close by. 

Still, it is difficult for the companions to feel at ease as Caewin mounts his horse and sets the Helm of Peace once again upon his pommel.  Still it sits as he spurs his mount, spectacles and nasal-bar swinging neither left nor right, as if an unseen presence looks out, its gaze fixed on the destination. 


:ooc: We'll resolve this as a perfectly normal journey, with one exception: Caewin is in charge of the travelling party, so he's acting as the Guide rather than Gwaithlim, meaning you get to use his Travel score to resolve the marching tests.  To whit:
:00: 1d12 : 6, total 6
Rolled 2d6 : 1, 5, total 6

"Let us prepare, then," says Arbogast in a solemn tone.  "Doubtless, this will be an interesting journey."

I've gone silent for a few days due to life clouting me in the back of the head (though watching Secondborn turn 12 was fun).  I'll try to get another post up tonight.  If not, it'll be tomorrow morning, my time.  Are these updates any use for you, given the need to estimate time zone differences?  Who knows.  But I had this information and now you do too.

"If the action is to accompany this caravan, I will send my feathered friend to the seat of Grimbeorn bearing news of what has transpired here.  She can then proceed to return to us upon the road or at our destination," offers Gwaithlim.

 :ooc: from our side of the screen it makes more sense to travel with him, get to better read on him and not sour the relationship just before we might need to negotiate with him.
17
:ooc: You know what, never mind - I've been giving it some thought and the story will work fine no matter what you do from here.  If you want to travel with Caewin, go right ahead.

:ooc: I've done it before, if it's a thing you want to do.

 :ooc: Splitting the party is also an option but a none too kind one to the Narrator  ;)

:ooc: I see no challenge in traveling with him. It will also give us more time to get more insight of the man and his intentions.
