Lilyberry mentioned that she needed some silk for a new gown for the upcoming Spring Festival. A lot of silk, actually, since she’s a prime example of a well-fed hobbit.
Spiders make silk, yes? I remembered there were a lot of spiderwebs in this cave I found west of Gath Forthnir, so I helpfully [...]

An unexpected garden.

I was surprised to find this haven* in the Mines of Moria. Later consultating with an overly-proud dwarf, I discovered these gardens are called Tharakh Bazan. Such an ugly, gutteral name for such a lovely place. . .
*swarming with orcs, of course. Aren’t all havens?
The Black Pool

What a tranquil little lake I have found! There are a great number of intrepid dwarvish explorers nearby, but it seems even they cannot spoil the peace of the place.

I saw this “pond” from a distance, and wondered at the water’s origin and peculiar color.
Actually. It’s not water in there.
Several noisome orc settlements atop nearby hills drain into the pond.
Hey, Calenglad.

Lilyberry tapped Calenglad on the shoulder. When he turned around, the fat little minstrel snickered and slapped him. “That’s from Gandalf,” she explained.
The ranger gaped down at her.
I just stared.
“Oh, wait.” The chubby hobbit lass grinned. “It was from Aragorn. So is this letter. He’s decided he can finally quit you.” She winked and leered [...]
Sauron’s Hussy

“YOU!” shouted Lilyberry. The little hobbit bristled and emitted a feral growl. She was standing right in front of Ailin, who acts as a healer to the honest denizens of Western Malenhad.
I pretended I did not know Lilyberry and tried to think of a way to smooth over the insults that seemed inevitable.
“Living in a [...]

I had a wretched time of things today.
I woke up in an unfamiliar location with a bit of a bump on my head. A local explained that I’d apparently been exploring, took a tumble off a mountainside, and then was knocked unconscious by a rock-throwing maddened hill beast. The local sold me some foul smelling [...]
