~The Search For The Ent Women~

[Rhiannon]

From "The Woods Of Fangorn" on the "Wars" board

Epilogue

*Just as the Rivendell warriors start to turn back, a slow HUMMMM HOMMMMM can be heard. They turn around and watch as three Ents slowly approach the group. One starts to speak* Hummmm,  we   the   Ents   have   seen how   brave    you    fought.   We   thank    you    for    ridding   our    forest   of   this   orks. Hommmm...  As   you    are   brave   and   far   travelled   we   trust   you    with   a  most   important     quest.   Hommmm. The    search    for   our   Ent Women.  If   you   can   find   even   only   one    and   make   her   return    to Fangorn    we    will   be   forever   in    your   debt. Hummmm Hommm. * The Ents turn around and dissappear into the forest again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Looks puzzled* Uhm, did you hear that? Well, as far as I know it doesn't matter where we start searching and it certainly can't hurt to take a look at Rivendell's libraries. Besides, many of us are wounded. So I think we should go back to Rivendell, heal our friends, learn as much as we can about the Ent Women and gather some more people to go on this journey.

[Archera_Deona]

*appears from the depths of no where* I havn't the faintest what an ent is but I'll be happy to join and find out.  *shrugs*

[Sinron]

This is the first quest I am joining

[Rhiannon]

*Comes back from the library with a book in her hands.* Here it says that once, long before the first war against Sauron, the Ents and Entwomen lived together. The Ents loved wandering across the land whereas the Entwomen preferred to stay in one place and looking after their beautiful gardens and rich fields. After darkness was defeated, they went east over the Anduin to plant new gardens. But the gardens were destroyed and became the Brown Lands. When the Ents crossed the Aduin to meet the Entwomen, they were gone. Some said they went north, some claimed to have seen them in the south, east or west. But wherever the Ents searched, they couldn't find them. Now there are only a few old Ents left, still dreaming of their women.

[Archera_Deona]

*frowns a little* what exactly is an Ent?

*she actually knew exactly what they were, just not by name*

[Sinron]

They are guardians of the Fangorn forest (carrect?) and shaped like trees...

[Archera_Deona]

*sighes... damn this change of geography... she shrugs after a moment* what ever... lets go huntin'.

[Rhiannon]

This will most likely take us all over Middle Earth or even beyond it. So I think we should wait a little longer if more people want to join our party.

[Rhiannon]

*Gets up from the stone she's been sitting on.* Well, it seems that nobody else from here will join our party. So let's get ready to leave tomorrow.

[The Witch King]

*Swaggers in*

I couldn't help overhearing your conversation from outside and I had to come in to check I was hearing correctly.
Your planning on journeying across Middle-Earth in search of Entwives?
What makes you think there are any left alive?
And why are you going?
What do you get out of it?
Can't the Ent's search for their own people?
I'm afraid I must ask these questions as a member of my company intends to travel with you.

*Stands there, arms folded awaiting an answer.*

[Archera_Deona]

*she comes up behind and claps her arm around darkshines shoulder*
Believe it or not honey, some people do things out of the goodness of their hearts.  *she calps him on a shoulder a few times and then walks on over to a chair sits* Why don't you join us and try something new? it might do yah some good.
After all... How can you be evil if you don't know good to define it? *she looks at it curiously*

[The Witch King]

*Glares at Deona*
Well I might just do that Deona.
This whole quest sounds quite entertaining to me.

So where are we headed first?

*walks towards the door impatiently*

Oh and Deona....touch me again and I'll have to take your head off.

*Slams the door and goes in search of a horse*

[Rhiannon]

*Shakes her head with a big grin* Good old Darkshines....

[Archera_Deona]

*she chuckles softly, watching darkshines go with a smart ass grin*  like to see 'em try. *she smirked taking up a dagger and weaving the blade into her pant leg. * So lets be off then.

[The Witch King]

*Returns on a huge black horse*

Are we ready then?
