Men-I-Naurgrim: First Week
"What he really means, Rathar" quips Finn, "is that it will actually take forever to complete the repairs. It's taken 1000 years, to get here," he chuckles.

Tom is a big smile and blushes when Finn gives him so many compliments. "I'm trying my best sir."
Bofri has been standing just looking at the road a long while as you are paused.
Varuthil is kneeling on the road, reading the signs, listening to the stone, the wind, the trees, the birds. She is long gone, far away, and hardly hears those around her as she listens to Mirkwood.
The debate on how long the road might actually last bandies about, smiles and good will. Nalir cuts in, "This is going to take forever! Look at these damn weeds! Stupid trees everyplace, darn nettles, I don't care for this one bit! Not one bit!" His shouting sends a small flock of black birds up out of the trees into the sky you know must be up there above the foliage.

Varuthil stands up, brushing dirt from her knees, and says quietly, "We should be cautious from here on out. The stones are ... on edge. There is a darkness further up the road--how far, the stones can't tell me, but we should be wary. It may or may not be what has kept the road in repair, but I doubt it will appreciate our efforts."

Tom shrugs and seems to indicate he never had felt comfortable here in the Forest.
"Thank you for the warning, Varuthil," says Finn. He looks back at Bofri, "Well, unless we have need for one to scout ahead, please lead on."

Borir stands around listening to the others, when the lady elf speaks, the dwarf's interest piques. Holding his axe in hand, he nods and says, "We'll be alright. Whatever's ahead, if there's trouble, will be without a head soon 'nough."

"If it has a head we can cut off," says Varuthil somberly. "Remember that nightmare we were caught in? It could be some evil enchantment like that. But there's only way to find out--keep moving forward. And if we have any chance of destroying this thing of Shadow, I for one want to." Her voice takes on some of its old coldness.

"Aye," Borir agrees with the lady elf. "Hatin' things without heads messing with our heads."

Rathar has been preoccupied. A growing shadow of fear has been on his mind and so he has been abnormally quiet. When he says "We are we being watched" he has no explanation, just his intuition...and fear.

Varuthil nods, takes out her bow and knocks an arrow. "Well, let us move forward then with an abundance of caution."
