When we got nearer to them, we counted their numbers. There were nine Gnolls. (5
Gnoll Diggers, 2 Gnolls and 2 Curs). They did not appear to be injured.
Gorbag's light crossbow fired, striking the titchy Cur deeply in the guts. Aiming
his light crossbow, Porin fired the black feathered quarrel, hitting the evil
smelling Gnoll Digger. It began to bleed from the bolt wound. Jorin's light crossbow
fired, striking the brown Gnoll in the groin.
Bolts and quarrels hammered into the ground around the enemy.
Dorin fired the black feathered quarrel, winging the scar-faced Gnoll Digger. It
was struck in the face. Bracing his light crossbow, Horin pulled the trigger,
watching as the bolt struck the scar-faced Gnoll Digger, passing nearly through the
body. Lorin released the bolt, striking the short Cur. It was hit in the throat.
Horin mowed down the scar-faced Gnoll Digger. It fell to the ground stunned.
"Bastard," was its last word before dying.
'You're just the first to die today,' was taunted as the first enemy was wasted.
Porin's light crossbow fired, hitting the evil smelling Gnoll Digger. It was
wounded close to the heart. 'Come get some,' was taunted as another enemy was
removed from the fight.
The body count had begun as more died.
The monsters were being ground into dust by the heroes' relentless attacks.
Ragbok the fighter charged forwards resolutely intent on battle. Golum shot the
ugly Gnoll Digger. It was lightly wounded in the side. Jorin's light crossbow sang,
striking the fat headed Gnoll Digger in the throat. Violently thrusting its short
spear, the ugly Gnoll Digger grinned maniacally, striking Golum. He sought to stem
the flow of bright blood. Horin fired the black feathered quarrel, winging the
filthy Gnoll Digger. It received a major wound. Jorin's light crossbow sang,
striking the fat headed Gnoll Digger. It was struck in the face. Holding his light
crossbow, Lorin fired, striking the piggy eyed Gnoll. It was grazed by the quarrel.
The fat headed Gnoll Digger stabbed Gandalf. He gasped with pain. Holding his light
crossbow, Gorbag shot the piggy eyed Gnoll deeply in the guts. Jorin fired, striking
the fat headed Gnoll Digger. It nearly lost an eye to the crossbow bolt. Lorin
annihilated the ugly Gnoll Digger. It instinctively snapped its jaw shut, teeth
biting cleanly through the bolt.
The enemy fled. We got 110 gold from lair of the dead Gnolls. We skinned the dead
and got six Gnoll Hides. We acquired an item that the Gnolls left behind. [veteran
dagger+1(142559)]. As the enemy disappeared, it was noticed that two were slightly
injured and one was seriously injured. We earned 170 experience points.

An old crone sitting on a stool in the corner of the shop cackled, "Moving slowly
can make a big difference to your success in discovering hidden shops and terrain
features. Most town thieves aren't interested in new groups, no matter what speed
they are moving at".
B 6 0 614 -- We looked around town and found what we were looking for in shop
number 70. The chief priest looked after us like long-lost friends. Golum couldn't
afford a Thief Skill. Our party lent Golum the money for a Thief Skill. Golum's
experience has served him well. His ability has now increased by a point. and Golum
now seems more alert.
While chatting in the shop we were informed that Baldor is one of the eight gods!
B 6 0 614 -- We surveyed all the shops and found what we were looking for in

with us. Golum couldn't afford a Thief Skill. Our party lent Golum the money for a
Thief Skill. Golum's experience has served him well. His ability has now increased
by a point. and Golum now seems more alert.
During our conversation in the shop we learnt that Hart Stop is roughly 14 days
west.
M 55 -- We left Antrose(1) behind as we moved on. We moved south using up 6
movement points. Now we are deep in the Forest Of Eroir.
During our journey, we met a Fairy Folk(9264). (Blurb given below).
As we approached it, we took a careful look at it. (1 Fairy). It did not appear to
be injured.
Ragbok the halfblood slunk into the shadows craftily intent on battle. Azog was
charmed into not fighting by the delicate Fairy. The delicate Fairy sent Gorbag to
sleep. The delicate Fairy fired the black feathered quarrel, winging Porin. He
cheated death as the bolt missed the heart. Azog retreated. The delicate Fairy
released the bolt, hitting Saruman, grazing the scalp. Gorbag woke up. Horin
released the quarrel, it hurtled through the air striking the delicate Fairy,
causing a momentary lapse of concentration. Lorin was charmed into not fighting by
the delicate Fairy. Lorin retreated. Forin's light crossbow sang, striking the
delicate Fairy. It received a major wound. Ragbok made the shot, the bolt hurtled
through the air striking the delicate Fairy. It screamed in agony as the bolt struck.
Already the cowards and the wounded took to their heels.
Golum fired, striking the delicate Fairy. It reeled backwards as the quarrel tore
through flesh. Boromir fired, the bolt skittered past the delicate Fairy. Dorin
butchered the delicate Fairy. It staggered then crumpled. "For glory or ....." were
its final unfinished words.
The enemy was dead. We got 228 gold from the lair of the dead Fairy Folk. We
earned 60 experience points.

We went south using up 6 movement points. We found ourselves deep in the Forest Of
Eroir.
As we moved along, we came across four Wild Dogs(8557). (Blurb given below).
As we approached them, we took a careful look at them. There were four Wild Dogs. (4
Wild Dogs). They did not appear to be injured.
Quickly Porin the fighter tracked the mangy Wild Dog. He lunged towards the enemy
through the forest. Porin fired, striking the mangy Wild Dog, passing nearly through
the body. The leathery creature was staggered by the impact. The blow bit deep into
the leg of the mangy Wild Dog, mangling it. The small body was finally trod into the
ground.
The chanting of battle songs crescendoed as the first enemy was slain.
Lorin pulled the trigger, releasing a quarrel, the bolt whistled past the
insignificant Wild Dog. Eyes moving quickly, Forin the fighter took stock of the
glade. He gave chase. Dorin fired the black feathered bolt, it hurtled through the
air striking the insignificant Wild Dog. It bled from the savage wound. With two of
the enemy slain, the heroes fought on with purpose.
Death in the form of a steel tipped bolt hurtled through the air.
Faramir cast miracle Healing at all the party. The small Wild Dog's slavering
jaws struck Golum. Golum staggered backwards. Quickly the death count rose.
The savagery of the combat was plain to see with the corpse-littered battlefield.
Raising his light crossbow, Ragbok made the shot, the bolt hurtled through the
air striking the small Wild Dog. It reeled backwards. The hairy body was pierced,
driving the soul from the small Wild Dog, killing it. A heel ground the dead beast
into little more than a dirty stain.
The enemy was dead. We got no gold from this fight. We earned 48 experience
points.

ugly Gnoll Digger. It was lightly wounded in the side. Jorin's light crossbow sang,

W 37 -- We sent Golum, with Azog as look out. We waited until no one was about

B 6 0 614 -- We searched the entire town and found what we were looking for in
shop number 28. We realised that shop 28 is in the west side of the city. We visited
the shop there. The manager of Thieves Guild was having a snack, which he finished,
then dealt with us. Golum couldn't afford a Thief Skill. Our party lent Golum the
money for a Thief Skill. Golum's experience has served him well. His ability has now
increased by a point. and Golum now seems more alert.

Ancoax(78). You're to go there, then return here with details of what prices are
being offered there for hides etc. For this task you will each get 84 gold. You have
until the end of the next turn or game week to accept after which it may be offered
to another party. Do Y 1383 to go this task.
As a result of our chatting in the shop we were informed that Baldor is one of the
eight gods! A cheeky young kid shouted out, "The battle reports found in newspapers,
which can be bought from towns and cities, are a good indication of how tough nearby
monsters and parties are". He might have said more, but Dorin smacked him across the
side of his head, so he ran off.
B 99 82 313 -- We realised that shop 82 is in the north side of the city. We
visited the shop there. The manager of Journeys was delighted to meet us. We handed

We found the stagecoach loading point, where we waited until the coach came and we
got on. They had to bring two extra stage coaches to take us all! An interminably
long period of time passed on the journey. It took a while, but we got there in the
end.

An old crone sitting on a stool in the corner of the shop cackled, "Moving slowly

features. Most town thieves aren't interested in new groups, no matter what speed
they are moving at".

M 55 -- We left Antrose(1) behind as we moved on. We moved south using up 6
movement points. Now we are deep in the Forest Of Eroir.
During our journey, we met a Fairy Folk(9264). (Blurb given below).
As we approached it, we took a careful look at it. (1 Fairy). It did not appear to
be injured.
Ragbok the halfblood slunk into the shadows craftily intent on battle. Azog was
charmed into not fighting by the delicate Fairy. The delicate Fairy sent Gorbag to
sleep. The delicate Fairy fired the black feathered quarrel, winging Porin. He
cheated death as the bolt missed the heart. Azog retreated. The delicate Fairy
released the bolt, hitting Saruman, grazing the scalp. Gorbag woke up. Horin
released the quarrel, it hurtled through the air striking the delicate Fairy,
causing a momentary lapse of concentration. Lorin was charmed into not fighting by
the delicate Fairy. Lorin retreated. Forin's light crossbow sang, striking the
delicate Fairy. It received a major wound. Ragbok made the shot, the bolt hurtled
through the air striking the delicate Fairy. It screamed in agony as the bolt struck.
Already the cowards and the wounded took to their heels.
Golum fired, striking the delicate Fairy. It reeled backwards as the quarrel tore
through flesh. Boromir fired, the bolt skittered past the delicate Fairy. Dorin
butchered the delicate Fairy. It staggered then crumpled. "For glory or ....." were
its final unfinished words.
The enemy was dead. We got 228 gold from the lair of the dead Fairy Folk. We
earned 60 experience points.

We went south using up 6 movement points. We found ourselves deep in the Forest Of
Eroir.
As we moved along, we came across four Wild Dogs(8557). (Blurb given below).
As we approached them, we took a careful look at them. There were four Wild Dogs. (4
Wild Dogs). They did not appear to be injured.
Quickly Porin the fighter tracked the mangy Wild Dog. He lunged towards the enemy
through the forest. Porin fired, striking the mangy Wild Dog, passing nearly through
the body. The leathery creature was staggered by the impact. The blow bit deep into
the leg of the mangy Wild Dog, mangling it. The small body was finally trod into the
ground.
The chanting of battle songs crescendoed as the first enemy was slain.
Lorin pulled the trigger, releasing a quarrel, the bolt whistled past the
insignificant Wild Dog. Eyes moving quickly, Forin the fighter took stock of the
glade. He gave chase. Dorin fired the black feathered bolt, it hurtled through the
air striking the insignificant Wild Dog. It bled from the savage wound. With two of
the enemy slain, the heroes fought on with purpose.
Death in the form of a steel tipped bolt hurtled through the air.
Faramir cast miracle Healing at all the party. The small Wild Dog's slavering
jaws struck Golum. Golum staggered backwards. Quickly the death count rose.
The savagery of the combat was plain to see with the corpse-littered battlefield.
Raising his light crossbow, Ragbok made the shot, the bolt hurtled through the
air striking the small Wild Dog. It reeled backwards. The hairy body was pierced,
driving the soul from the small Wild Dog, killing it. A heel ground the dead beast
into little more than a dirty stain.
The enemy was dead. We got no gold from this fight. We earned 48 experience
points.
