(Continued from streets and lanes) *Turns to page 1 of the newspaper* The Bree Times A hideous, despicable crime has been committed, and the offender must be brought to justice... do YOU take the challenge? Potential investigators wanted. Please apply at the Prancing Pony Inn*. The reward is negotiable. ( I guess that answers darkshines' question) *here |

*Upstairs in a room , still shaken and upset. Has almost forgotten about the scroll she has thrown on her bed. Now takes it again and breaks the seal. Carefully she opens the old pergament. Gasps and sits back, her face white as snow. Swallows and takes a deep breath. Grabs the scroll and hurries downstairs.* Darkshines, Sinron! You have to take a look at this! I think whatever tried to kill the old man wanted something back....*Puts the scroll on the table.* I bought this one because the runes visible through the pergament looked interesting. But now the scroll seems to be more than just an old book...Take a look yourselves...

Let me see, let me see!
*pushes Sinron out the way, impatiently, trying to get a look at the scroll. Reads through it eagerly.*
Anyone any good at reading runes?

I saw this runes and symbols only once before...in a very dark book I'd rather forget I ever opened. *Looks at the Nazgul* Do you recognize any of them?

Don't worry she won't go far.
She's left her bag behind.
*Roots through it, like only a Ringwraith would*
There are coins in here and a few precious stones. Some Elf books, music books and what looks like a magic mirror.
All precious personal possessions I'm sure she won't want to leave behind.
*puts it to one side*
So these runes, what are they?
Dwarvish?
Feonorean?
I don't know.

I'm not sure...All I can say is that I have seen the symbols before in a book that was claimed to be taken out of Mordor in the First War. And those here just make me shiver the same way...

Looks interesting...
Maybe we can get clues from the old man, but currently he is still in unable to talk properly. I went to see him just now, kept repeating the same old words. Poor thing.

Hey Melody you forgot your bag.
*points to it*
Gwen, we're just looking at this scroll with strange runic inscriptions on it.
*Turns to Sinron*
What did the old man keep saying?

He kept saying *imitates the old man* hairy...white teeth...large creature...with big eyes!
*behaviour resumes to former self*
I think that's about what he will say.
