A ranger and an elf walk into the Prancing Pony and find a table in a quiet corner and wait for Barliman to approach.
"How can I help you gentlemen today?" Barliman asks.
"I'd like a beer," Mincham says "I could certainly use it before returning to my post."
"Wine if you will," Idremmin says.
"I'll be right back with your drinks," Barliman says.
"I never suspected that the study of the tombs of Fornost would be quite so hazardous," Idremmin says with a sigh.
"No one could have expected the spirits of the dead would rise again," Mincham says.
"It makes you wonder the reason that they are moving now."
"My guess would be the troubles in angmar are waking them."
"As they stand they could prove a threat to all of Eriador," Idremmin says.
"At the moment they seem to be contained within the fields. We'll need to keep watch over them so we can spread a warning should they begin to move."
"I can send a message to Rivendell and request any knowledge about the dead that may have risen elsewhere."
"Perhaps we can call them to assist us in my king's name," Mincham says. "With the promise of freedom from the curse they may be eager to join us."
"That is an interesting plan. I wonder if your king has the right to forgive the crimes they commited, I do not think they broke an oath."
"You may be right about there being no broken oath but if they were raised by activity inside Angmar defeating the enemy there would free them."
"Freeing Angmar is a large goal," Idremmin says "but it would be much easier with the help of the spirits."
"It would be easier if we could find someone to talk with the leader of the spirits and deliver any idea we might have."
"That would require finding someone with a great deal of courage to travel into the fields."
"You'd think a camp as close to Fornost as ours is would draw brave souls willing to help," Manchim says. "Even those that pass through won't take our message to the leader for some reason."
"We have no shortage of travelers and I remember you asking people to talk to the spirits."
"Lately I haven't been asking people to help and I can't remember why I stopped."
