I want to come up with a name for the Ent, but I haven't thought of any yet. This is NOT Treebeard even though it may sound like him. This is a fir-tree Ent, with appropriate soft but flowing and long-branched beard, and eyebrows with long needles for hair.

Any ideas? Nerindil, would you be willing to incorporate the Ent's "naming" into your next post?

some possible names right off the top of my head (and they ain't great!):

Windbranch
Windbeam
Greenbeard .... which has interesting confluences with the whole Green Man subtheme....I like this one best, but am open to more suggestions...

Just to let you know - since an Ent has been introduced into the story, I'm going to leave the Hobbits in the Inn so that there is no contact.

Sorry to put such limitations on you, but good point. Hadn't thought about that.... Still, the Ent isn't going to come anywhere near the Green Man Free House. He has no interest in leaving his forest.

Save finally filled. I picked up on what Littlemanpoet said. Hope this is ok.

If edits are needed, let me know.

How soon do you want the confrontation with the creature?

And how do you want to play it? Are there any ideas of how the creature is to be taken care of - other than a direct confrontation with the two tall men?

Will someone take a first stab at it?

Just trying to get a general idea of how everyone wants to approach this part of the game.

I'm tempted to put in my Save now, but I think I'll wait and see what shakes out over the next day or two (fingers are willfully kept from going back and making that Save for fear of not getting in line quick enough....). No, I ain't gonna. No.
