Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

Alone--- no, Master Milo, Master Gavin and myself are helping you . . .

I thought you were spouting nonsense because you'd been drinking the ale... Why do you think the Tree is always so talkative when he's in here? (But I have to laugh - he thinks I only give him water!)

Huoommmm ... I heard what you said, Master Barliman, I did hear that ... rhuoommm ... as I'm in the inn ... gruoommm ... anyway, as there by now are some of us being present, let's have a cheerioh-welcome to Master Milo .... huoommm ... but where is he?

I'm always here.

If a little quiet.

Me drinking already? how do you dare... to doubt it?

Spring is coming after a fell winter, let's begin to warm up our roots, as master Tree would say.

Hey Barliman,

For me, a keg of ale will do the job.
Today is a special day for me. Please provide any drink to thirsty fellows and keep the bill until my return.

About our travelling elf master Tree, I can give some news... He still stands in my home at the moment, and t hough I have found time to take some pics of him in some very beautiful places, I still miss some time for some more regular pics, and fill his journal before sending him away (having to move myself does not help doing things faster)
but well, Elrond and his fellow Gandalf are well

Huuooommm ... so, our Elf takes care of that "travelling Elrond" at the moment ... rhuoomm ... good to know ... though I'll never understand why those Elves travel that often ... hoomm ... any idea where and when that Gandalf-companion took part in Master Elrond's travel? ... gruooommm ... huoommm ... ahem, Master Barliman, did you not recognize that the Prancing Pony has become crowded? ... grruuhuommhomm ... I'm still awaiting the bowl of clear-clean ... rhuoommm ... let me repeat ,please ... clear, clean watery drink Master Milo felt free to give to thirsty fellows ... gruommrhuom ... and could you make haste, please? ....

Great job Master Milo and thanks for the invite..

Whew, that's a lot of orders for drinks. Where's Nob when you need him?

Huuoommmm ... mind the order of Mistress Wendy please, Master Barliman ... huoomm ...
as for me ... rhuoomm, well , it took me a day to assemble that weird-and-went-out-of-control-Dwarvish-meeting-you-might-know-of-vignette ... rhuoomm ... but it was time better spent than finding out about the whereabouts of Nob ... rhuoommm ... ahhh, could you please top up me bowl, please .... rhuoommm ... thank you, Master Barliman, I know you have been busy lately ... huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmm ...

Does that mean you have now received it? Good news indeed if so. I am still waiting to hear from Mithril, about my UP (Unexpected Package ), but I gather Helen is off sick, so hopefully I will get some direction soon.

Well, with Easter soon upon us I guess a flagon of your finest would be in order Master Barliman just to lubricate the path of the chocolate eggs that I hope will come my way (some hope - the eggs I mean ).

Anyhow, a good night to all, and unless some last minute voting came along, I guess it is congratulations to Gavin for his Elven Bard who seemed to have been first past the post; perhaps he may wander in here at some stage to play us a tune or two .

On the subject of GF releases, anyone dissapointed with Gandalf and Gwahir being separate rather than combined  figures? (I can't recall who won with this suggestion).

I'm easy which ever way, but I rather thought the intention was to have Gandalf being carried.

I would /love/ to see a redesign of the Mithril eagles, making them something more akin to the Ebob miniatures Giant Eagles. Something big and dynamic.

The Mithril mumak is really...a Indian war elephant type of thing, with a howda on top for a couple of riders. Just like in real life. The At-At walker things are more of a movie invention.

Anyway, I'm dead happy with the Elf Bard. Means Gallind (from the old LOR adventure game) is now represented (or representable) in the "flesh" especially with a new Middle-earth RPG coming out.

I do so hope that Mithril does something about this new game, I must say.

Perhaps its something we should make a fuss about?

Maybe for an "MB" boxed set?

The Giant Eagles of the Misty Mountains!
