The Man’s Haradrim infantry would easily double as Corsairs.

Nice rumour, by the way, Master Tree! I hope you turn out to be as foresighted as some Elves I’ve known.

Well I have heard the name of the MX dude will be Marhili. Hmm strange name actually. Maybe I didn’t listen properly, or maybe I shouldn’t have had this last scrumpy….

“Marhili” sounds like another early Eothraim name, like Marhari (TA 1776) or Marhwini (TA 1812).

Someone is not being very secretive. Or some people…

Too bad I already know the answer. Figuring it out would have been fun.

Huoommmmm …. no, Master Barliman. I think Master Caster just tried to remember well …. but huoommm … you see what some of the liquids you sell cause with some of your customers … huomm…. they still remember the letters but are confused about the correct order … rhuoommm …. out comes an anagram, methinks … hom

HaHaHA! We are all wrong! None of the names is correct! Wendy are you sure you know the right name?
I can see clearly now the scrumpy is gone!

What’s in a name? I’m more interested in what the figure is to be. Seems like I’m about the only person who doesn’t know.

Huooommmm …. I have just learned that he mounted this morning and is awaiting further accessoires tonight (hopefully) … hom … so the shape’s shaping, so to say …. huoommm.
But Master Caster was right indeed with his first anagram …. huoommmm
What about this allusion to Master O. Wilde, Master Barliman? …. hom … I don’t understand that.

Well, the anagram confirms what I’d guessed and assumed, but I was too dull-witted to see it immediately. And I don’t know what the Oscar allusion was about either. Or even where it was. Obviously I’m not paying sufficient attention at the moment. Clearly I need to drink more ale and less scrumpy.

Huuooommmm …. so you don’t know the verses about Oskar Wilde? …. rhuoommm … so I might quote:

“Aesthete of aesthetes
What’s in a name? <
see this line?
Your name it is Wilde,
But your poetry’s lame.”

rhuoommmm … I thought of your question being an allusion that I did not understand … hom
never mind …

Ah, Oscar’s line has become an everyday adage here in the Breeland, so I didn’t realise that he had originated it.

Hello everyone! Nice place! Which way to the ‘gents’? The room marked ‘WC’ actually contained Warg Coats I assume are the extra door mats. I’ve been out wandering for some time now and have no tidings of Mithrandir. A shame…anyway, it’s good to be back among friends and smell the unique aroma of the Pony and taste the liquid fire of scrumpy again…

Huoooommmmrhuuooommmmmmm …… a very nice welcome to you here, Master Kenakko …. a very nice one … hooommm … I was afraid you also got lost (though I know you weren’t) … hom …. Hey, Master Barliman, please a bowl of that whatever Master Kennako likes …. rhuoommm … you might mark that on my tab … alas … huoomm.
As for you, Master Kennako, there’s no WC Warg Coats in here … huoommm .. but on what you’re standing are called Warg skins … kind of rug the barkeep likes but let others care about them … huooommmm … anyway … I’m glad to meet you here, Master Kenakko …. hom

I’d recommend people keep out of that wardrobe full of wargskin coats, or they might end up in an alternate Narnia of some sort, with a Witchking instead of a Witch queen…

Good to see you Master tree and Master Barkeep. I’ll take the generous round offered by the Ent chap. I’d like to say I’ve been battling orcs but battling diapers and sleep deprivation would be more accurate…but what news?! We must spread the word so the rest of our lost travellers can find their ways. Hey did you check out the website of ESTEL? That, with the beer, makes me think of relocating to Germany!
