Out in the passage way Soval maintains his dour vigil.

He fancies that he can make out the shadowly bulk of another beacon suspended from the ceiling in the dimness ahead. These Dwarves must have good eye-sight indeed.

He hears the occasional pang echoed up from the vast darkness beneath. Perhaps a rock falling? Perhaps a hammer beating? Impossible to say... but Soval feels certain that the present company are not the only feet treading in Moria tonight...

Lómëluin takes a moment to examine the coins more closely. Does it look as if they might be valueable enough to take the time and trouble to sift them from the rest of the debris?


A cursory inspection reveals a haphazard mixture of coin, nail, chain-link, hob, wire, rivets and such. It would take a time to sift through the lot of it with any care, and perhaps for only a few score coins.

Lomeluin reaches for a single coin, blows the ages of dust off it, and soon decides it is no thing of the Dwarfs. It must surely be of Man-make, for it looks to be a coin of Dunland.

Norin leads the company back into the main passage, where Soval awaits, and prepares to continue.

The light of yonder beacon does not press much farther into the dark passage ahead... but Norin and Sili (and also the Elves) can see that there is another such beacon ahead.

Lómëluin drops the coin with a dismissive snort and accompanies the others back into the main passage.

On seeing the beacon ahead he wonders aloud; "Can we spare the oil to light this also?"

"Yes Lómëluin it would be nice to light an other beacon, but I fear will will run out of oil before we get very far. Now if we had a mining cart maybe we could put a beacon in it and push it to light the way", suggests Lady Éohild.

Éohild states, "Let us finish up and continue on and see what lies ahead!"
" Largo and Baraglin my brave hobbits, your help has been valuable so far, please keep a look out around us as we travel so we are not surprised by any foul beast. Rest assured we will quickly deal with any such creatures."

"We shall drink beer from the cup of old!" cheers Sili. "But first, I thirst for violence--Onward, deeper into the mine!"

The company has oil enough to this beacon and a few more perhaps... but their supplies are not without limit.

Eohild's council is most thoughtful. But whereto should one of these mining cars be sought?

There were in fact various old metal boxes and tins among the Trolls' hoard...

Lómëluin shifts restlessly. "I say move on," he counsels; "Let us know a little more of these halls. We have light enough for now."

To Norin and Sili; "Lead on, sons of Durin."

"Before we move on let us look at those metal boxes, for having a working mine cart would be of great benefit for us to carry items back from beyond we go", states Eohild's.

Lady Eohild's motions for her mercenary Barald and others to follow and they will all look at the metal boxes to see if they can be used again.

"It may also make enough noise to wake every orc from here to Dimril Dale," Lómëluin mutters, but he is prepared to follow the Lady's lead for now, eager though he is to move on.

"Thank you Lómëluin my good elf, we can always oil the wheels if need be. Now what do we have over here", says Lady Eohild.

Eohild will investigate the metal boxes.

Eohild and Barald the old boar of Mirkwood, and the Elves Lomeluin and Telthalion linger here a moment, picking over the metal bins and scrap heaped at the back of the Trolls' den. The Hobbits Largo and Baraglin remain also, chatting quietly to each other, while the remainder of the company head back out into the main passage.

[Norin, Sili, Soval, Legandir, Elendir, Eremin and Arbenbard; please go to thread 006...]
