The kinship gathers to discus whether to accept the quest to visit the Ettenmoors.

Elrond: Strangers from a distant land, Friends of old. You have been summoned here to answer the threat of Mordor.

Someone said there would be Punch and Pie here at this meeting.

Who invited the Burgs?  This was suppose to be a officers only meeting.

Yes,  But Frogo is the only one in our Kinship who has traveled  to the Ettenmoors

OK, Middle-Earth stands upon the brink of destruction. None can escape it.

Each race is bound to this fate—This one doom.  Bring forth what you have found Frogo.

Frogo steps to the center of the Kinship house.

Boreamir: So it is true, He does have stars.

Gandulf: Stars are altogether evil!

They are a gift.  A gift from the Creeps in the Ettenmoors.

Aragone: You cannot wield them!  They give you no buffs.  They serve no purpose.

Aragone is right.  We can not use them.

Frogo tell them about the Tokens

Ya, the tokens and the Stars.

If that is so, we have only one choice.

We must collect the tokens and the stars.

Gimly: Lets strategize, we will need leadership, drive and direction!

Why did I ever leave World of Warcraft?

Wait, Our height challenged friend does have a point.  We should have a plan.

It is quite simple Aragone, we will gather in the Ettenmoors and flip the keeps like a giant game of Orthello.

What about the Wargs,  I have heard that they are 100% invisible and can knock you down at will.

I will turn the tables on them and beat them with my axe.

You can’t even kill a neekerbeeker by yourself.  And you expect to defeat throngs of hidden creeps?

I heard the spiders have unbreakable webs.  And that their potions that will break any root, mez or stun?

No, I read that they nerfed that way before book 12.

I was almost afraid I would have to lose my undying title.

Why did I ever leave Everquest II?

But what about the Wargs?  They still can pounce and stun you?

Not to worry I can put stun protection on you.  I will put stun block on everyone!

Then it is done.  We shall travel to the moors and defeat the Creeps.

Later that evening Frogo finds a fellow burgler and discuss skills and traits.

Yes a burglar has many tricks but the most effect I have found…..

You must be stealthy, for the Black Arrows may see you.  So wear this cloak it will give you +2 to Stealth

And don't forget to slot Dust in the eyes.  That is my favorite trick.  It stacks you know

As will as Hide in plain sight, Well placed strike and Reveal weekness.  We have so many to choose. Turbine really did make us UBER.

So I should slot Dust in the Eyes?  And use it often?

Not on me you TWIT!!!   Dust the Creeps!! 

Excuse me,  But you did say to use it often.

The fellowship gathers in Rivendale and proceeds to the Ettenmoors

Ok, Is everyone ready?  You all have your perfect pies and your Essence of Athelas?

Oh God, He so going to make us bring our raid gear.. We should ditch them as soon as we arrive.

I’m ready to stand by your side and fight to the death. 

Good,  Remember we need to work as a team. We all fight together and succeed in getting the tokens and the stars.

You think he is going to DF?   

At the sight of the first Creep he sees.

Something tells me that this is all bad.

Our party arrives in the moors and proceeds down the steps of GV.

Just stand behind me my little burglar friend and I’ll taunt everything off you and keep you safe.

This whole group wouldn’t survive a day with me.  I tank so they can live.

Is he for real Mr Frogo.  Doesn’t he know we are the class that rules the Moors?  I guess he doesn't read the forums.

Just down the hill form GV.

Get them! They have no Rank,  They have no Stats.  SOMEONE ROOT THEM!!!!

Reavers, Charge them,  Find the minstrel, Mark and Rip em!,  Don’t Pounce the Burglars and leave the Guardians for last!!!!

Hindering the Minstrel, 

Minstrel Hindered!

Vital Target is up!!   VT the squishy.

         BBBOOOOOMMM!!!!!!!!

Oh my god, OH MY GOD,

Where’s my DF button. 

WHERE IS IT?

OH MY GOD THEY KILLED THE MINSTRAL.. WHERE IS DF?

I bet you a gold he DFs

I’ll blow my horn and stun them before they can strike.

“No you don't”   BOOM!!

Oh no it’s a total party wipe….

You fell lucky punk,  Am I the Black arrow who launched Vital Target?

BOOM!!!!

Everyone RUN,  I have my last stand on!!!!

Damn your Last Stand. Get a web on him and get the others.

Get the others before the get to the One shots.

Save Frogo!!! Dust in the Eyes, Start a conjunction.  Everyone GREEN!!!

Surprise Strike, Cunning Attack, Subtle Stab, Kill them. 

Oh, noos RUN!!!!

HIPS… FROGO…. HIPS…...

I can’t swim Mr Frogo.  I can’t swim

Don’t worry Hamwise.  Just jump.  It’s a bug that Turbine has yet to fix.

I seem to be jumping much faster then I can swim.   Very strange.

Thirty minutes later up at GV.

Where did we go wrong?

I can tell you.   The hunter DF'd and left us all to die.  

What?  What happened to stand behind me and I’ll take all the agro.

They walked around you like you where doggy doo on a mid city sidewalk. 

I will have to come out next time and

provide you with UBER crowd control.

Hell with those guys.  Lets just form a Burglar Gank Squad and camp the Rez circle and the Slug Pits and wait for the greeneis to come out.
