Giant Problems in Thrór’s Coomb
Pareth of Gondor received a message from her friend Brynje to come and assist her and a few other warriors in Enedwaith, at a place called Thrór’s Coomb. After traveling for many days, Pareth made the treacherous climb to Nar’s Peak where she was welcomed by Brynje and her companions, a young hobbit named Kilderkin who was swift with a bow, and a Elven loremaster named Emondir, who had a way with animals.
“Well met, Pareth!” cried Brynje as Pareth approached the group and was quickly introduced. Pareth had been to this part of Middle Earth before. Besides Dunlendings, who served the evil Saruman, Thrór’s Coomb was home to evil Giants and Gwibers, deadly fire-breathing creatures that attacked anything or anyone who got too close to them. Pareth had defeated the Gwibers before and had suffered some serious injuries at the hands of the Giants, so she was determined to help her companions rid the area of both creatures.
The four warriors were a force to be reckoned with. They worked incredibly well together, each of them masters of their own skills and weaponry. And they worked fast. They didn’t stop until they had defeated every last Giant they encountered in Thrór’s Coomb, and exhausted and bruised, they emerged victorious because of Brynje’s unfailing leadership abilities.
No one spoke after they were done, and they rode together in silence back to Nar’s Peak, where Nar himself was impressed by their tales of victory. The group humbly accepted his praise but all that was on their minds was food and rest, of which they would get plenty of in the next few days. And for that, Pareth was especially grateful.
