Was that directed at me Volo? If so, note that I wrote 'thinking the danger past'. Cir doesn't know what happened so she assumes it has been dealt with.

No Kath, it's rather to Farael, but also everybody else, just that there is a wolf in the stable still by my understanding, unles we want to just leave the whole episode at that...

Ah ok, well I'm sure Mith's Cir can have fun dealing with that.

Hmmm well I am not sure he has the nous to track a wolf alone and I doubt that he would have the heart to kill one in cold blood ... are all wolves in Middle Earth inherently evil?

You'll have to decide all those questions, dear. If you want a tame wolf, have one. It's not very likely. Of course, he doesn't have to be inherently evil. I imagine. Just somewhat.

You can do what you like. If you don't want to go hunting down a remaining wolf, I think everyone's posts are general enough, we can say they all were driven off. Can't we?

Hello! I’d like to introduce you to my gentle-lady Hobbit:


NAME: Miribelle Rushybanks

AGE: A respectable 65 or so

RACE: Hobbit, mostly of the Fallohide strain

GENDER: Female

WEAPONS: She carries a rather large carpetbag she made herself - one with a variety of necessary objects, large and small, tucked tightly within. ‘One never knows when a mathom might be needed!’ is her thought It could hardly be called a weapon, but were she to swing at someone and her bag connect soundly, the poor ‘someone’ might feel as if they had the stuffing quite thoroughly knocked out of them.

APPEARANCE: Tall and slender, carries herself with a certain authority. Fair skin, pale blue eyes, graying honey blond curls held back from her face with a dark blue and green striped gross-grain ribbon. Favors dark green skirts with a navy vest and crisp white blouse beneath.

PERSONALITY: Reserved; appreciates good manners and all those sorts of things that make easy a social interaction. Respectful of others; she expects the best of others and for the most part is not let down. Has a good sense of humor, loves a good joke or even the good-natured prank. She’s a gentle-lady Hobbit with sure sense of herself, of her expectations, her strengths, and of course her short comings.

HISTORY: She is a spinster, both by the fact she has never married and because her life long occupation has been centered about the spinning of wool and the weaving of fabrics. Her fabrics are much prized by the local community of Stock.

She ran a Dame School for many years for the neighboring children. But these later years she has devoted herself fully to her spinning and weaving and has opened a small fabric shop in the village where she offers for sale or barter both her fabrics and those of other weavers in the community.

I'm off for a bit, back on Tuesday. Mith you have free reign over my Cir if she's needed, otherwise let her sleep.

Ninja91,

Dick has approached your elf, Tarathiel Caldorien, and asked if he could be of any service to him.

Teehee. Hilarious, Tevildo. I don't know when I'll write my next post (Manwe's turn is next, as Dick's talking with his character), but when he does write, I'll hopefully get a reply up pretty quick for Dick. I think what Tollers would say is that he's going to be giving the new dwarf a room. Should he tell him which one? If he does, Dick will remember who's in the next room, likely, and next chance he has he'll 'remind' Tollers....do you want that?

Well, my bad Volo but the scene looked rather dealt with, although I did not keep the tally of the wolves killed/driven out. I'll be more careful next time around, but perhaps you'd consider editting your post to make the fourth one go away? or perhaps he's hidden in the barn, looking for another opportunity to pounce on his pray.... that's up to you all guys to deal with as you wish, Robby will want nothing to do with the action, other than writing about it after it's all done (and safe).

I think it's fine, what's been written. I've gone on. The general populace think everything's been taken care of, and if there's one wolf still lurking about, that's fine. He can come into the light later. I thought Cir was going to take him down or something. . .

Forgive me for the change in subject, but might I interject with a few questions? I've been absent from the BD for too long and from the roleplay for even longer. I posted once or twice in The Green Dragon, but my contributions never amounted to much. What ever happened to The Green Dragon, and is this its novel equivalent?

BIO for Rusty Smallburrow

Here is the BIO for Rusty Smallburrow:

name: Rufus "Rusty" Smallburrow

age: middle age for a hobbit, say around 50

race: hobbit

gender: male

weapons: utility knife, like a hunting knife, and a stout walking stick/staff, a bow when needed

appearance: typical middle age hobbit male, about 3 1/2 feet tall, a bit of a belly, dark brown curly hair, brown eyes, wears knee length breeches, shirt, vest, jacket, no shoes, pointy ears, neither handsome nor ugly (as hobbits go)

personality: generally good natured but can be a bit officious and self important when it comes to his role as shiriff. likes to wander around the area and gossip, flirt with the female hobbit servers at the various inns, likes nothing better than to spend an evening chatting, drinking good beer and singing. Is suspicious of strangers somewhat, at least those not of the hobbit variety

history: born and raised on a farm near Stock. Applied to become a shiriif seven or eight years ago. Single, no children, lives by himself at the local holding place (ie hobbit jail) which, as it never gets used as such, he lives in the one "cell" which he has decorated and made very cosy for himself. He hopes he will never have to detain anyone for then he'd have no place to sleep.
