Cami Goodchild was doling out pints of ale and carrying platters of food to the folk sitting and talking at the tables. It was good to see so many visitors at the Inn. Some were known to her by name and face, while others seemed to be newcomers, enjoying the light and the warmth of the hearth after long journies on the road.
Just as she was turning back to the bar to grab another handful of drinks, Cami felt an insistent tug on her sleeve. She looked over to see Rose Goodchild, a good friend and kinswoman, carrying the official mailbags of the Hobbit Postal District that served the Shire and the outlying areas of Buckland, Westmarch, and Bree. Rose sported an official proclamation in her hand, and brandished it above her head to get everyone's attention.
With a nod of agreement from Cami, Rose lept gracefully onto the table and announced, "I"ve an official message from Halbereth Diagona. He and and VanimaEdhel and a few others you may know have been engaged for some time in an RPG adventure called "Many Questions, No Answers". They now find themselves in need of a few more adventurers to join in the fun. They are specifically looking for male characters, both Elves and Men."
Rose glanced quickly about the Inn. There did indeed seem to be a number of persons fitting this description hunched over the bar and the tables, some looking like dark and mysterious figures, while others had a more open expression on their face.
Rose nodded politely in the direction of these visitors and continued with her news, "Should any of you gentlemen care to consider this challenge and join up with these folk, please take a serious look at the game thread "Many Questions, No Answers", and send a private message to Halbereth Diagona to discuss the characters needed and the terms of this engagement.
Rose bowed with a flourish to her audience, and pushed out the door of the Inn to continue with her other delveries to every corner of the Shire. A few of the Men and Elves at the tables began discussing the proposal. One or two stood up abruptly and hastily left to get a better look at Habereth's company and his needs.
