Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

Regalrick is right - four more are still available as I write this:

Good luck!

Huoommmmm .... my dwarves arrived today .... huom ... they're really very nice tiny things .... rhuooommm .... but Master Gildor will be disappointed as this time there are no subreferences at all ..... hommm ... The Man just wrote on the small package "346 B" .... that's all .... hom

Rhuooommm ... The Dwarven command was A,B and C, I think ... so why not continue with D1 to D4 for the four bodyguards .... huommm ... but who is who? .... there are two identical poses with two figures each .... the details of each figure (e.g. garment and armour) are all different, of course ..... huoommmm .... it's not me to decide, Master Gildor.

Well done Wendy, drinks all round then?

It should be an excellent figure. I liked the idea from the moment you first proposed it, and I shall look forward to seeing it sculpted.

I shouldn't think Chris will need a picture of a thrush - they're pretty common in this part of the world. The challenge with the thrush will be painting it - especially as the plumage colours JRRT describes are rare.

Excellent figure!
I fear that from Thranduil all the Christmas figures will be 28mm ....

It does say the thrush was unusually large, specifically described as "enormous", so that will help a bit for the painting.  Black with yellow front and black spots will be a nice little challenge. 

It's just a whole lot easier to sculpt something from a picture than memory (or waiting for a thrush to hop by the window ).  Who knows?  He might have a birding book close at hand.

Sharkey's looking to be a really nice fig.

Another round for all!  I better pay for it now.  I'm putting in an order at Mithril soon and won't have much money after that. 

Huoommm .... thank you for the round, Mistress Wendy. ... as for your lack of those coiny things you might just buy one of those tabs Master Barliman sells .... or even offers for free .....  rhuooommmm ... they seem to have the same effect, as they can be used for payment here .... huoomm ... so he just keeps one of those tabs he before dedicated to you ... huom ... then he scibbles some signs on it and you get your drink .... rhuoommm ... at least that is how I understand that strange habit  ..... hom

Rhuooommmm .... hom ... alas ...  well ... right ... maybe ... but in the past you did receive metal things from me, didn't you? .... rhuoommm ... ( and some coiny things,too as far as I can recall ... though quite a long time ago, I unfortunately have to admit) .... rhuooommm .... of course that might not settle all that you ask for ... rhuoommm ...
Alas ... thanks for your compliment about "fiscal dynamics" provided by me ... huoommm ...
as I do have to rething some of those matters again ... rhuooommm ...
please, Master Barliman, let me rather pay with rumours, if you please ....
Morlas has been finished and sent ...... rhuooommmrhom ....

Not so hasty, Master Tree! There is also a fourth reason that explains my absence, which is that, sadly, I sometimes have to do some work in order to justify my existence... which means that I can't always be present in the taproom to keep an eye on what's going on.

And if Morlas is a riddle, then it's one that's way over my head. Is it in Entish, or Westron?

Well that has me even more foxed than I was! Who in Middle-earth is the "Prince of Squirrels"?

Yes the squirrel was that which the man mentioned to me at Salute, I think partly as recompense for a certain unmade portal, and partly I think because the suggestion of a squirrel was made with a certain amount of ............(sarcasm is perhaps too strong a word to use).

Well I guess one extreme to the other; the gate was too big so the squirrel would be very small It also shows a nice sense of humour as well methinks.

None of which is the sort of data I carry about in my noggin! I remember the squirrel suggestion being made at some point, but I was unaware someone had gone so far as to suggest a name for it. I don't speak Elvish, though - I have difficulty enough with Common Speech...
