    My turn, I'm guessing?


    Elladan grimaces at the brutal blow dealt to the Dwarf, before firing his bow at the foul monster.

    Elladan's arrow whizzes from the string, tearing through the darkness and piercing the wight in the forehead. The monster screams, letting forth an unearthly howl of haunting horrors, a nightmarish storm of black death that rages across the Barrow-downs.
    Then the clouds open, and screeching the barrow-wight falls. A ray of sunlight, the first stream of dawn, comes down from the west, and with it a swift gust of wind that sails down the Lost Road and carries still for some the radiant aromas of Avallone and the white shores beyond; and gulls sing as they soar about the Tower of Elwing, and the sun carries away the barrow-wight into a wave of dust. Fire fades from the eyes of Hugo, and instead they shine with the daylight.
    Ancient armor matted with rust and dark grime crumples, falling upon the dewy grass and crumbling beneath the weight of ages; cruel gold shines with burnished luster as it tumbles free upon the ground, and the rain retreats and leaves the land with the sweet scents of a swift sunrise.

    The Dwarf just sighed, ignoring the Elf. He would see to his own wounds once the more concerning matters had been dealt with.

    "See to the Halfling. I've taken worse wounds, but the terror he expierenced might mark him. I can care for myself. That things blade was nothing more then steel, and it will take more then that to slow a Dwarf."

    The Dwarf returned his Axes beneath his cloak. He was bluffing of course. The Wight had gotten lucky, and pierced the Dwarves defenses more then he should have. But he wouldn't fail, and a little bit of care would have him back in fighting shape. He'd bear the wound for some time, but that was how life worked.

    I'm assuming we are going to stay put for 2 or 3 minutes, to get our breath back. Thusly, taking 20 on the Heal Check, giving me a 30.

    What just happened...? Hugo said, eyes wide as he sat up. I've n-never seen them do that before. Usually I can get the jump on them... Honestly, the last few days I just feel cursed. Ah well, things will eventually get better, I guess. Anyway, We'd better hurry though, we don't want to be here when more than one of the Wights show up. Is Ain alright?

    Thullaer's music fades almost as quickly as it began, and he looks over at the halfling with a quirked eyebrow. "Usually?" he asks. "You often run into wights?" He glances over at Ain, who appears to be binding his wounds effectively. "And I think a good question to ask would be instead, are you alright?"

    Thullaer's eyebrows both shoot up, and he nods. "That so? Well, I'm…sure that's a good reason. And halfling, learn to lie."

    The gale has lessened, torrents of rain becoming mere sprinkles, then giving way entirely; and before long you find yourselves looking out upon the rosy glow of dawn.
    The day is clear and fresh; dew rests upon the grass, rainwater lounges on the eaves of trees; the sky is pastel blue, pale and crisp. You're on the crest of a low hill, and the landscape rolls with gentle slopes such as this, occasionally garnished with a smattering of trees; the road winds its way through the feet of the hills. In the distance are the gentle blue shadows of mountains, and fields of green that stretch across the North.

    The Dwarf nodded, recognizing this place easily.

    "We are about 20 miles south of Bree, Elf. Let's continue south. The ruins of Tharbad are many miles south of here, and the Moria Road meets the Greenway there."

    For another day you travel down the Greenway, treading beneath the pastel-blue sky flung with wisps of cloud.
    The Barrow-downs fall behind you like a sea of mist, soon becoming mere specks on the horizon: now they have vanished altogether.

    "I believe we should rest here, my companions.I will take first watch, if none of you prefer to watch in my stead."While saying this, Elladan pulls out his bedroll, and places it on a soft patch of ground.

    Ain nodded toward Elladan.

    "Wake me for the midnight watch."

    The Dwarf looked toward the sky, shaking his head. He didn't think he would need to set up his tent for tonight, pulling out his Bedroll instead, and setting it up.

    "Do we desire a fire? If there is wood to gather, I can start one."

    The evening dwindles as the fire burns low; long into the night you shelter within the warm glow that the flames cast out upon the dark land, but one by one you fall into slumber.

    Morning comes, bringing with it a heavy blanket of fog which clings to the ground. Silvery and damp it swirls about the Greenway, occasionally letting through a glimpse of cold sun or grey sky.

    OOC: Didn't noice the update.

    The Dwarf roused from his bedding, reaching into his pack and pulled out a Pipe, and packed it with the supply of Pipeweed he had picked up in Bree. It was good stuff. He lit it with a branch from the fire, and sat, his cloak around him as he waited for the Elves and the Hobbit to rouse.

    Harnír awakes from his dreams and stands up. "A fine morning. The weather changed quickly." He opens his bagpack and retrieves some waybread, dried fruits and his waterskin.
