Unfortunately, Farmer Maggot's three daughters started fighting, and knocked over the table in the process.

Fortunately, everybody had finished their dinner, so the table wasn't really needed.

Unfortunately, the floor was now full of sharp, broken pieces of pottery and remnants of food.

Fortunately, said messy floor proved ideal for the new orcish embassy in Eriador.
(Elessar proved to be REALLY inclusive in his diplomacy).

Unfortunately, the orcs decided they were sick of diplomacy and invaded Eriador instead

Fortunately, the Rangers came to the rescue, battling with sword and spear to defend the land.

Unfortunately, the Rangers left to take in the new Lone Ranger
movie, under the misapprehension the "Lone Ranger" was Aragorn.

Fortunately a giant eagle showed up and gave them a ride to the shores of lake Evendim.

Unfortunately, they were dropped off in the lake itself.

Fortunately, they were all able to swim to shore.

Unfortunately, the waters of Evendim had been infected with the Mirkwood-Amnesia-Sickness, and they all forgot who they were.

Fortunately, Farmer Maggot's Pizzeria was nearby and a slice of his
yummy Mushroom Supreme Pizza restored their memories.

Unfortunately, the pizza gave them a terrible thirst so they decided to head to the Prancing Pony.

Fortunately, some Eagles turned up en route and flew them there really quickly.

Unfortunately the eagles cared more about speed, than if their delivery made it to the destination unscathed.

Fortunately, they made their rough landing quite nicely in a hay-stack by Butterbur's stable.

Unfortunately, it so transpired that just then all of Butterbur's famous beer had spoiled.

Fortunately, the plentiful servings of delicious victuals soon made them forget all about the lack of beer.

Unfortunately, it also made them forget their own names.

Fortunately, they all snapped out of their 'amnesial' reverie when the food was gone.

Unfortunately, there was still no beer.

Fortunately, they were all too sleepy to care very much, and all found rooms in Butterbur's inn.

Unfortunately, that was the night when the Nazgul attacked.

Fortunately, the Nazgul were not adept at distinguishing between their prey and pillows.

Unfortunately, Butterbur and his staff had to clean up all the scattered downs next morning.

Fortunately, they were all kind enough to stay and help tidy up before leaving.

Unfortunately, all other guests at the inn vacated the premisis without paying.

Fortunately, they had to come back and pay soon after, since they couldn't long resist Butterbur's enchanted beer.

Unfortunately, a side effect of the enchantment was that the drinker got a sudden fondness for appropriating The Prancing Pouny's tableware.

Fortunately, they remembered that Lobeilia S.B. was notorious for that very thing, and of course no one wanted to be likened to a Sackville-Baggins, so they stopped.
