Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
Middle Earth D20
---------------------------------
different factions in Gondor keep trying to put conditions on our adventuring,
feeling that the noble warrior Brame would make a good pawn:
Ranger(yelling): Did you just agree to another mission?
============================
My character bought some extra food in Minas Tirith,
so that later on down the trail I can make cheese blintzes
to serve the adventuring party for breakfast.
=================================
We are in Minas Tirith, the big city, making the rounds of court:
and the Sages of Gondor are questioning Brame the Noble,
and desire tales of his adventuring. Oddly, they ask me
the barbarian what I think of all these political proceedings.
Barbarian: I ain't got any dogs in this hunt.
===================
for the long journey south by boat, we are advised to sell our horses
in Minas Tirith, and purchase new ones in Umbar. Of course Brame the Noble
loudly ignores this since he has "the finest well trained horse that money can buy,
and he's been with this horse for years, its more like a family member,
than just any old nag tethered in front of some tavern."
Merchant: well that costs extra, on the boat ya know.
Brame: fine we'll pay.
Merchant: then it'll be 500 gold: four men and a horse.
Barbarian: 600 gold.
Brame and Merchant together: What !?!
Barbarian : your horse may be all that and a bag of lembas, but mine can talk.
Horse: damn straight.
======================
The northern barbarian ranger had to find Harlond, the port of Gondor,
to begin the journey, thus shaving 12 days off our travel time.
