There was a celebratory atmosphere at the settlement. Five cows were butchered and the grain stores were opened. Bread was baked and meat cooked, and for the first time in months and years for some of the former prisoners, they had a feast. Falco kept looking, nibbling on a beef leg bone, until he found what he was looking for: the beer. Now it would be a real feast.
There was just one problem. Some of the party wanted to return to Bree while some wanted to go north toward the holding of the Master, which the prisoners said was apparently not far away, considering what their former captors had always said. About 60 of the former prisoners wanted to go with the party, and 120 wanted to go to Bree.
It was Falco's opinion that Thoronmir needed to be brought back to Bree, with his injury. They no longer needed a Ranger to protect them, and an injured one at that. Thoronmir heard Falco air his opinion and kept his peace at first.
