The plan worked perfectly. Strider informed us that the prancing pony was a drop point for one of the assets of a spy-ring developed by Angmar. Fortunately assets rarely possess proper training, and this one was no different. As soon as he noticed the suspicious ranger skulking about the tavern, he broke procedure and went straight to his ring-leader. Easiest job I’ve had in a while, and i’m glad for the fact.

At the Prancing pony today, I ran into several of the occupants I met last night. Chief amongst the was a man in a hood and grey cloak, and a young local lass. The man had me stumped. He was a mysterious figure to be sure, and he had my curiosity at an all high right until about an hour ago. The captain has just informed me he is also a Ranger, one of many operating in Bree-land at present. He has his own operations however, and is unaware of mine.
