I. An unexpected morning



I opened my eyes and i look around me. i lied in a bed in a room of the Combe and Wattle Inn. Yesterday, i arrived from a far place in the Blue mountains. The fireplace is burning and there are cracks in the wall. Apparently, the room is not very well maintained. I yawned and scratched myself to finally walk downstairs to the laughter room. i bought some breakfast: musrooms, pudding, biscuits and some apple juice, my preferred beverage. After some time, i returned to the inn-keeper to pay for the breakfast with the few coins i've left. I thanked her gratefully because i did not get such an excellent food during my journey. I went outside to begin with my patrol. For that i did not need much preparation, since i return every day to the town to pass the night. but when passing two constables, i caught some words, one called warg. so i turned to the constables and i asked them with critical eye: "Warg?!". They nodded. "Yeah, there are rumors about wargs in Chetwood here. One of the local farmers stated to have seen a warg in the forest. Gladly for that fellow, he was smart enough to leave and to make his way to the town here."

 

Now i was a little bit confused. I patrolled for quiet a time now, but i never heard about such a threats in the environment of Bree. I was rather skeptical about the idea: " hmmm...Are you sure? It is rare to see such vile beasts. if they are really here, they should come from the north, from Angmar. but between the two parts of Chetwood is a natural wall and it is very strange if here's really a warg. In my opinion it could be a wolf as well. You know that the simple men always exaggerate." Now the other constable nodded as well: " You are the man who patrols here the last moments, isn't it? I know your face! You are the one of Rohan!" Yeah, i know. people do not know much about me and they nearly only know that i come from the mark. "If you are really guarding the roads here, you should at least check this!" he continued. Yeah, i agree with that. Completely true. So i turned me to the second constable: "don't worry. I'll surely do that, we cannot take risks. not while that brigands in the woods here are grown so bold as well! I can track and have little abilities to survive. Though i need some preparation." The constables were satified and I left them. I wondered why they wouldn't  see itself. i suspected that, even when they are constables, they just didn't dare. It seems that i will be longer away from the town and i will pass the night in the woods. i will need to buy some food, though i do not know if i should make a campfire. the eventual wargs will stay away from the fire, but i am worrying if i will draw the attention of brigands. In both cases, i can be raided during the night. But i really need to go. i should discover if these beasts are strong, how many there are, i would even know their name if possible and from were they come. And if the tales are true, i have to defeat them as well. It's time for Adventure!
