Gaddy sat at the head of a big wooden table in the Inn of the Prancing Pony. The eager faces of his companions stared back at him, as they waited to hear what he would say in reeponse to Fin. Gaddy was not used to making fine speeches and such, that was the job for some one like the mayor. Yet, the hobbit was strong-willed and stubborn, and he knew how he wanted to kill the wargs.
Gaddy had known since the time when he first entered the Prancing Pony in search of people to join his quest. Yet, he hadn't let this on to anyone, not even to Autumn. He had listened while the Big Folk adn Little Folk had created their daring plots in which they were the heroes, and no one ever got hurt.
Gaddy was not like that, though. He had fought against wargs before, he knew that people usually did get hurt, and sometimes even killed when they were faced in battle with such a cruel animal. He did not fantacize about saving everyone from danger, and becoming some great hero, all that he wanted was to stop those mudersome beasts from attacking anymore sheep. And he knew just what to do, but he decided that he would not reveal all of his plan to his companions just yet. He would shed a little light on his plans for his fellow companions, but not enough to reveal all of his wonderful plans.
"Tomorrow morning we will head out quite early. We will split up into groups of about two to three poeple apiece. One group will track the wargs, and then report back where they are. I will be taking one group with me to head around Bree in search of some able men and boys who can help us to attack the wargs. Another group will head to the Town Hall and ask what the mayor wants us to do about food, and then head around to selected inns, etc. to pick up food, which we will surely need to feed everyone. After this, if the group finishes early, I would like them to begin to set up camp here at the Inn. We have reserved a few rooms for this specific purpose. The rest of the groups will go the farms that have been attacked by the wargs, and ask what the sheperds saw the night that their sheep were killed or taken. We need to know as much as we can about hese attacks to decide fully which way will be the best to battle these wargs. I will tell you all who is in which groups in the morning. I will be assigning the groups myself, but if anyone wishes to ask to be with any specific person, do so befor I go to bed, or you will have to just deal with who you get. I am not saying, though, that I will pair you definatley with who you want to be with, but I just might consider to pair you the way you want to be. Also, I would like to ask you all not to stay up too late, for, remember, you will all be getting up early tomorrow."
