Grimbergar reaches Minas Tirith and L103

Grimbergar has been helping Aragorn with the Haradrim and witnesses the King of the Dead's oath fulfilled.












 
He makes his way to the rangers in Osgiliath searching in vain for Faramir, where he has suffered from the attentions of Trolls, met the enormous Mumaks and an old adversary, grazed Grond and gets his first look at Minas Tirith.

He has to confess to resorting to using Mithril Coins to travel to the last 2 lost rangers.







 
This stirred memories of encounters with Golodir and Mordirith 




 



It doesn't look good for Minas Tirith.






Letter Home - Green Dragon and Black Rider

Dear Grandma and Grandpa,


Apelpip and I have had a busy time in the Shire. We rode from Bree over the Brandywine Bridge and stayed at the Green Dragon Inn where we had a great time drinking, dancing and listening to stories by the fire.

























Its not been all fun though when we heard rumours of a black rider in Budgeford. During our investigations we had to fight a pack of wolves and Apelbob came off badly after being too brave but he is OK now. We uncovered a nasty trick by a Followhide and the Budgeford pigs were quite upset, not respectable behaviour!



As well as adventuring we have been learning our crafts. Apelpip has been collecting copper and making himself some great armour. Apelbob has collected wood and made some useful weapons and is intending to get skilled enough to make musical instruments to improve his minstrel playing. In Brokenborings we learnt some hobbit history finding the lamp put here by the Hobbits who travelled from the west. Big brother Apelred has made Apelbob some fine clothes so fighting wolves should be a lot easier now.
