Tywerd entered the prancing pony inn at bree-town . He looked around the Inn for a brief moment , adjusted his sword attached to his belt and walked to the table at the far corner of the inn where 3 hooded man was sitting . Tywerd approached the table , Took off his sword with its sheath and put it in the table . He raised his two fingers to call for Barliman Butterbur , He asked for an ale as he sat next to the hooded man .
" You have fear in your eyes , brother. What news do you have for me ? " said tywerd .
" Annúminas needs your help . We are in danger " said the hooded man sitting next to him .
" That , I can see .. " Butterbur arrived with his ale and tywerd thanked him for it , He took a sip from his drink and put it on the table .
" .. What can i help you with ? " said tywerd as he expected an answer .
" Glinghant, the gardens of Annúminas .. once a place of great beauty, now overgrown and fallen into ruin. The stagnant of waters of the gardens have become corrupted by the fell spirits of Angmar, and evil Men do their bidding... We must get rid of this evil . " said the hooded man with a desperate voice .
These man were Wardens of Annuminas . Tywerd had helped them in the past and have done many deeds for them . They considered him one of their own , and respected him as a brethren would do to another .
" I understand , and i will help you ." Tywerd said " tell me more of this place."
" Four terraces, each with a large body of water in the middle that flows down from waterfalls from the fourth and final terrace.There are stairs that lead up from one terrace to the next on either side of these pools. Access to each terrace beyond the first one is blocked by sets of gates, which are controlled by six levers on the first terrace. The levers always need to be pulled simultaneously, and failure to pull them correctly results in more enemies coming."
" How do you know so well of this place ?" said tywerd .
" We built that place long ago . Now it is in the hands of our enemies . We need your help Tywerd . " said the hooded man .
" Aye , I understand , you do not need say more . I shall be at Annuminas as soon as i can "
Right when the wardens were leaving , one of them returned back to Tywerd's table and put 2 potions on the table . " These are Conhuith and Lhinestad Potions. Those creatures will pierce darkness in your heart. which is the reason why we lost so many man . These potions are rare brother , use them wisely . Farewell " said the hooded man and left with the rest of the wardens .
Tywerd Grabbed his sword from the table , bid it to his belt , flipped a golden coin with his fingers and tossed it at butterbur . He catched the coin in the air and Tywerd said " Thank you for your services " as he left through the door . A golden coin was worth more than a tankard of ale , but there was more to it then the eye saw . Maybe an old debt between butterbur and Tywerd ?
He went to his horse , leaf , a rare found black horse with white dots on him , Leaf was equipped with a brown saddle . Tywerd rode leaf away from the Inn and headed for the west gate of Bree .
