Two angmarium men walk into the Prancing Pony carrying weapons and looking around the room. The crowd stops talking and stares nervously at the pair. They take little notice of the silence and find seats.
"This place makes me miss our old homes," Moridac says. "I hope those of our people that gave an oath to the master of the dark stronghold have not destoryed what they stole from us."
"We will reclaim our home," Nekhtan says. "The men of the south seem willing to help and they are strong, as we have seen."
"Crannog found a remarkable warrior to give the fem of the rite to."
"Part of me wishes they were not given such a fem. His power took my chance at vengance from me."
"Perhaps," Moridac says "but he proved himself to be capable."
"Yes and it is our way to send the strongest to stand for us. I do not hold a grudge, I simply wish it had been my pleasure to fight for us."
"He easily beat me so I know the kind of power the hobbit has."
"I do not like to admit it but he was far stronger than I am," Nekhtan says.
"I was surprised someone as small as him was able to climb up and claim the Stone of Clucath."
"It would have been fun to watch. Which I suppose sounds mean."
"They might fight you again if they heard you say that," Moridac says.
"That actually sounds exciting. I'd like to train and battle him again to see if I've gotten better."
"Did you hear what Domongart did during the Rite of Clucath?"
"I haven't been in the village much since the stone was taken," Nekhtan says.
"He tried to change the rules of the rite and made it a two on two battle. Lukily Cana was there to help our short friend fight."
"A battle to the death? What kind of madness is that?"
"The allies they have found in Carn Dum have caused a great many problems with our cousins," Moridac says.
"Did they go through with it?"
"No, they kept with the true rules of the rite and left their enemies alive. Domongarf refused to accept them back into his tribe and stripped them of their names before leaving them injured."
"It was likely the right thing to do," Nekhtan says "but I fear I wouldn't have been able to do the same in that situation."
"I believe you are right about that."
"We have Fail-a-Khro back so we can start to drive the upserpers from our home. Be happy and celebrate our victory."
"You are right. We will not get another day like this until we have our town back."
