I finally made it to Bree-land!
The aim was to make it all the way to Bree, rent a room and hit the hay.
Then ask around for my father and the possibility for a job, in order to actually be able to stay while I search for him.
However, the weather forced me off the road, by mere chance I met an elderly gentleman who pointed me in the direction of an Inn in the Homesteads. So this is where I am now.
Sitting in the room provided to me.
It's a rather quiet Inn, not really what I expected, but I rather like it.
The people I meet here seem friendly enough, admittedly some perhaps a bit brute-ish.
But I reckon that has its own charm...
It's my understanding that the people I meet are some sort of group, perhaps even a company, and they even run the Inn. In fact, it was their, I believe Fiontann, who appointed me the room and even offered to talk to me tomorrow about work. This was offered after a blonde gentleman had inquired into why I was so far from home.
When the group learned I am here to search for my missing father they all seemed quite helpful as to where I can search for information. It's fueled my hope that this journey of mine isn't a fool's errand!
There were even already talk about a bounty of some orcs near Bree, to my understanding, the group will hunt. And all partaking will get paid. This could be a good way to get some money to get by and search for my father at the same time. If they will allow it, I think I will join. If for nothing else than to keep my sanity! The long travel from Rohan has been quite rough. I already miss home... But I know this is something I have to see through!
A... crazy Lady in red appeared in the Inn in the late hours. Quite mad she was, hardly making any sense if you ask me. But from what I understood, she is missing her sister and asked everyone to travel to Rivendell in search of her. My heart bleeds for her, truly! I of everyone should know the pain of not knowing the whereabouts of a loved one!
However, as much as I may like to assist. Rivendell is about a week's travel away. I literally just got here in search myself. Besides, I know no one here yet, and therefore unsure if it is even trustworthy! I'm aware my decision of withdrawing to my appointed room, might seem selfish... But then so be it! I'm sure I'll be able to show my worth later on.
For now, I'll finish this meal I brought up with me, and get some sleep.
