Lotharn chuckled at the tale. Indeed she had shortened it. To tell the whole tale would indeed take days. So much had happened before Thorin and the other dwarfs were able to take back the Lonely Mountain. "Indeed Bilbo was the First Hobbit to go off adventuring like that." he looked at the two hobbits before him. "Were it not for Bilbo, they would never have made it to the Mountain at all. He saved them from the goblins in their underground lair, and again saved Thorin's life from the Orcs when he was about to be impaled by one of them. Then again from the Giant Spiders of Murkwood, and then freed them from the Elves that dwelt there. If not for him Thorin and the others would have given up trying to get into the Mountain, as it seemed they could not figure out how to open the secret door. But Bilbo figured it out and called them back, just in time. Yes Bilbo showed the Dwarfs what Hobbits were made of." he chuckled. "And your Grandfathers, Frodo and Samewise showed the Elves and Man what they were capable of. Even to day, Gondor honors them for their courage and what they did during the War of the Ring."<br/><br/>He looked at Flagdon. "Perhaps one day you will send some of your people there to the Lonely Mountain. Let them know that they have more of their kind here. To unite the East and the West, set up trade routes and waystations."<br/><br/>Flagdon smiled. "Aye that would be good."<br/><br/>Thorgan listened to the tale and then what Lotharn added. The West had their tales of heroes as did the East. The Farmer was the most renown as was Egland and Silindral and the King of the Plains. There were many more that stepped up when the need arose to go above and beyond anything one could possibly be thought of doing. "Well we will have plenty of more time for tales from the West and perhaps some from here of the wars that have been fought." he chuckled. "Perhaps we will be remembered in those tales for future generations. But now we must sleep." He got himself comfortable by Allassiel as Lotharn did beside Pegawen. He would be awakened for his guard shift. Before long he was asleep and it was not until a few hours later before his time to be awoken that he was.<br/><br/>Flagdon shook him awake. "Something is coming and there is a foul odor in the air." Flagdon went to the others and woke them up or brought them out of their meditation. When all were awake Flagdon pointed the direction of the on coming force. Indeed a foul odor filled the air as it was wafted on the breeze from that direction.<br/><br/>"The foul odor of decay. We have undead approaching." Timberland said as he began to weave a spell. In the starlight one could see the shadowy figures approaching on some sort of mounts.
