Just a reminder to the players:
The game was opened on 1/16 and was scheduled to run 10 weeks.
We are now 5 weeks along today.

So, I have gotten us on the way north to Bywater and the Green Dragon Inn, where we can spend a night – resting and gathering news about conditions on the Great East Road which the group will take into Bree.
The snow has stopped for the day, and the sun has come out. The dirt road from Tuckburrough to Bywater will still be snowy, but melting a bit as the day goes on. There are iced over ruts in the road, and as the group moves along someone in front might notice animal tracks frozen in the mud where the animal(s) might have crossed. Some of the tracks will be small animals – but some sharp-eyed Hobbit might notice the larger tracks of wolves . . .
As the group start outs – all are on foot except Madoc, Estelle Tunnelly, and Hob who are on the wagon seat. Please feel free on the journey to get down from the wagon or get on it as you please.
And Daisy (Oro) – Madoc’s cousin Gorby is busy chatting you up . . .
Let’s get some traveling posts on board. By tomorrow, let’s get us ˝ way to Bywater and have the group stop for a quick lunch and rest . . . the group can discuss the tracks that someone or a number of Hobbits has found.
