Re: The Taproom
Well Master Barliman, here's a speculative explanation which may help you to sleep at night. Recall that this particular pikeman had a flaw at the butt of his pike not seen in the other 3 versions. I would presume that the number of test castings may have had something to do with trying to get it right. Incidently, he's my favorite and even if there are 100 out there he's still more rare than M16! Further I think that the Angrenost set may be the rarest of all these to date. Perhaps time will prove me correct.

Re: The Taproom
You may have it! That explanation would certainly fit. Tonight I'll be able to have my first sleepless night in months.

Re: The Taproom
Huoommmm ... once again it has become a bit quiet around here .... huoommm ... so there's time enough to put a question ... hom ... does everybody receive the news from our "favourite sellers" (phaeton design and Mithril) each Sunday? .... rhuoommmm ... at the moment The Man is selling quite interesting metal things, that's why I tried to provide a link about that at the marketplace of Tharbad .... huoommmrhuoommm ... I just want to know if such things are of any use here ... huom ... or if I better use my time strolling around in the sun ... hom

Re: The Taproom
News each Sunday? I hardly receive any news at all - but I did notice the latest batch of 'interesting metal things' from The Man. The M3 seems likely to sell for an interesting price! Makes me wish I hadn't swapped my spare a little while ago.

Re: The Taproom
Huoommmm ... yes, each Sunday .... but most of the time it's just about the ordinary Mithril-sales ... huoommm .... alas, that early Witch-king for about 40 pound by now and still more than two days to go ... rhuoommm ... though I wager that the dromedary and Karagat will catch up with that soon enough ... huommmm .... on the other hand you have to consider that the metal The Man sells always is in the very best condition .... hom .... I'm surprised that the banner-sewing Lady with her five maidens still is available ... but it seems that The Man has nearly sold all of them by now though it took some time .... rhuoommm

Re: The Taproom
Huoommm ... as I predicted ... Karagat is ahead of that Angmar-king ... that camel, of course, still is in front and will achieve more within the next days (those creatures don't have to be "watered") ... but alas, who thought that the Sargath animist had such a start unleashing his falcon ... brilliant start ...
Rhuooommm ... it's just me, trying to report on sport .... hom. never mind.

Re: The Taproom
So let me make sure I understand this right - you actually hear from The Man every Sunday? Wow, that makes you a very privileged tree indeed. Perhaps even a mallorn.

Re: The Taproom
Huuoommmmm ..... no, Master Barliman ..... not directly, of course. There's simply some kind of connection between 'phaeton design', 'Ebay' and my postbox at this computer here ..... rhuoommm ... so don't worry, I'm not that privileged at all .... though that link is quite useful ... hom .... alas, at the moment I have to cope with a horde of Imrahils that arrived today .... 30 there are, holding up their swords .... rhuoommmm ... nice chaps, methinks

Re: The Taproom
But I imagine you're probably mightily glad to see them!

Huoommmmm .... yes, indeed, Master Barliman, indeed, even a bit proud .... rhuoommm .... though it causes a slight problem ... I have to get rid of them again ... huoommm .... I hope I can manage that this year .... but I won't haste, you know

Re: The Taproom
Did you actually get at least one of the standard beares, or do you have to buy one from the Mithril website?

Re: The Taproom
Huoommmm .... no standard bearer arrived yet .... huoommmm ... but I think I can settle that with the company ... huommmm... just finished to assemble the other one ...
each part fits nicely ... the scabbard's empty ... all pieces undercoated (not a single metal-shine all over the figure) .... rhuooommmmm ... yes, I'm more than pleased at the moment .... hom

Re: The Taproom
Oh, on a side note I made a new thread on the mithril website under Wish List 2008-2009 and was wanting to see what others would want to see in the future. I put two up already, so go check it out!

Huooommmm .... Ents are pleased most of the time, Master Caster ... huoomm ... unless things go wrong. .... then we have to consider ... hom
Well, Master Jdbrown55, I was busy, too ... huoomm ... it took me three days to paint the pictures I hung up in the 'Mathom House' today ... rhuoommm ... hom.

There is no rush! Take your time! I just wanted everyone to see if my suggestions would be good or not.

Re: The Taproom
said the Master tree, walked out and slammed the door....
Just at the time I walked in through the back door...
Bloddy quiet in here. Did someone die? Or even worse.... Barli ran out of scrumpy?
I have to check the tap.... Oh no enough in there!
Well, I'll have a sit down and talk to myself then! Cheers! Cheers to you too!

Re: The Taproom
RRRhuuuoooommmm ... is it a habit of yours, Master Caster, to call in here walking through the back door checking Master Barliman's supply of liquids by tasting it once you're sure that no one's watching you ? .... huoommm ...
hom .... so I might help myself with a bowl of that clear clean water ... rhuoommm ... well, Master hsf62, we recently talked about those tiny metal-things ..... huoomm ... not the coiny ones our barkeep prefers ... huoommmm ... as for the birds .... huoommm ... three there are showing poses of a starting falcon .... methinks ... rhuoommm ... first step is with the M84-Radagast (telling the bird where to fly to) .... huoommm .... the LR3-Radagast reassures if the bird got it right where to fly to lifting his left arm to let the creature know that it should start moving...huoommm ... with the Sagath animist, some people call M18, the bird starts flapping away .... rhuoommm ... that's all about birds I know made by The Man ... rhuoommm ... except those eagles, of course .... hom
