Two elves walk into the Prancing Pony, the woman in gold robes and the man is wearing rivendell made armor. The man seems unhappy but the woman smiles seemingly content. The woman leads the man to a table and sits with him.
"It's nice to have a propor roof over our heads," Glavroleth says.
"I don't see why it matters," Palanaer says.
"We might be used to going without but that's no reason not to enjoy what comforts we have."
"I suppose."
"You really are no fun at all are you?" Glavroleth says.
"I've been dealing with the forces of the dark lord for months. Fun is just a distant memory."
"You're kind of depressing you know that right?"
"I think of it as being realistic," Palanaer says.
"The ruins of Eregion seem to fit you."
"You've seen the half-orcs trying to unit against us. It is just luck that we were able to stop the half-orcs of Tar Stazg from aiding Barad Morlas."
"How large is the Tar Stazg camp?" Glavroleth asks.
"Not large enough to be a serious threat but that's no reason not to reduce their numbers."
"That's understandable. I had the same thing done to the Dunlendings at Porth Cadlus. It seemed easy since I had already sent someone to deal with the messager nearby."
"Where was the messagers going?" Palanaer asks.
"It was a message to the Dunlendings asking for help from Barad Morlas in driving us away."
"That would be dangerous for us."
"Extremely," Glavroleth says "the thought was scary enough for me to put a bounty on the messager's head while he traveled. Without the message arriving the Dunlendings won't know that their allies need help."
"I am hoping the burned tents will force the half-orcs of Tar Stazg to focus on collecting supplies instead of moving to join Barad Morlas."
"Did you have the leader of Tar Stazg slain?"
"Yes it should slow down any decisions they might make," Palanaer says.
"I did the same thing with the Dunlendings of Porth Cadlus. The leader was a coward and only appeared when he thought his people were calling him."
"The leader of Tar Stazg was the same."
"Our enemy seems to push the cowardly into acts of power," Glavroleth says.
"It can make things difficult to weaken our enemies. But as long as we keep them from joining forces we'll have the advantage."
