Trails into Mirkwood

"Hold fast," he says to Anar, conveying in two words the gravity of the company's plight.  To Hathcyn he says "Indeed, I have seen this before.  Not long, in fact, before I first met you on the road to Stánford.  The path you see before you is a ruse - a stratagem set by one of the ghastlier horrors of Mirkwood.  And yet it is there we must go." 

As the colour returns to his face, he rolls his shoulders, loosening his limbs for the trials ahead.  "But we shall not go blindly, nor on the dark thing's terms."  The stare he fixes on the treacherous path ahead is hard and level.  "Gird yourselves.  And bring fire." 


:ooc: I'll take the Shadow point - it seems appropriate.  (:csu:)  Will any future Fear tests benefit from his being Hardened?

"The wood is wet, and we have not prepared brands. You have confirmed that you know of our plight, but have offered no explanation of the danger ahead."

Hathcyn thought for a moment to blow the silver mounted goat horn he carried, but thought better of it. The wood would either swollow it or let more enemies know they were here. No friends were near to hear it.

"Firewatcher, name our foe so I may know what hunts us. And if i go to the fire of my fathers I'd know what sent me there."
THE GAME MUST GO ON!

:ooc: I can see it either passing a Fear test of lesser threats, or at least reducing the difficulty by one degree.

"We face one of the three great spiders, ancient beyond the reckoning of Men, and perhaps even of elves, who between them are the truest rulers of Mirkwood.  I know not whether she was given a name by whatever antediluvian horror spawned her, but Men name her for Tylquin, and the Wise know her to be a great weaver of illusions and falsehoods of the eyes and mind."

Grimbeorn is enraged at what his friend says.  It's ilk has spread fear and blight and personally injured him in more ways than one.  It took all his restraint to not leave the group and face the thing head-on.
