Hunt for the Dragon RPG

[Child of the 7th Age]

Salix's post

The young dwarf walked sturdily through the forest. She had been surprised to notice that very few elves seemed to be guarding the forest. For the first time, the dwarf thought that maybe perhaps the dragon had done more than kidnap her brother. Suddenly, she almost ran into the tallest creature she had ever seen.

The Elf guard smiled at the rather short dwarf standing in front of him. The dwarf was scowling as if it haadn't expected to find snything else on the path, but then smiled as if to say 'Hey look! It's an Elf!' Here was a young Dwarf, probably fresh out of the caves of Moria. "So Master Dwarf, may I ask what your name and business here in Mirkwood might be?" The dwarf looked confused for a moment, and then suddenly broke into a bigger grin. "My name is Farin, and I am here to rescue my brother Perin
from the dragon that kidnapped him." Well, well. Here was a dwarf that expected to be a hero. Unfortunately, Thranduil said that anybody concerning themselves with the dragon were to talk to an Elf named Elentari. "Follow me," the guard told the dwarf.

Farin was pleased. The Elf hadn't recognized her for a female! Maybe it would be best if she faked she was a male so no one would think her weak or something like that. Anyway, everybody knows that dwarf women aren't seen much around the lands of Middle-Earth. She eagerly followed the tall elf to where he was taking her...
