Whispers Amidst the Revelry in Overhill
Hobbits don’t seem to need an excuse for a celebration, Ballanor discovered while visiting Overhill recently. They drink their ale and sit outside and tell stories for hours it seems.
One such story caught her attention. Two workers in Overhill called out to each other and this is the gist of what they had to say:
“Tanner, did you hear about Ponto Hornblower over in Brockenborings seeking help in ridding the Greenfields of goblins? Goblins? There are no goblins in the Shire! Surely?”
To which the hobbit called Tanner replied: “Skinner, the problem with you is that you think too much when you’ve had more than your share of ale. Even if there are goblins out there, they are not HERE. So why worry? Let old Ponto deal with it. So stop talking nonsense and let’s have another ale, shall we?”
Not long after hearing that conversation, Ballanor left for Brockenborings to see if she could find out more from the hobbit Ponto Hornblower. She had a feeling she was needed there and her vow to protect these wonderful little people was what made her decide to make Brockenborings her temporary home.
