G238 - Can the DS Survive?

Dateline - Bree

While the Dark Servants are wandering the countryside like poor lost sheep (or perhaps chasing the
sheep!) the elite hobbit cryptographic team has managed to break the encryption used by the Ji
Indur in his messages to his evil master.

Team Leader Hambone Crabgrass attributed his team's stunning success in deciphering the Cloud
Lord's entire plans to "Mushrooms! Lot's of 'em. And not them sissy elf kind simmered in
garlic butter. We are talking magic mushrooms, the kind you can smoke in your pipe."

...Snip pictures of Hambone Crabgrass running around naked as a jaybird and singing a dirty
limiric about a young wraith from Olbmarl while under the influence of the "magic"
mushrooms...

Our intrepid reporter discovered that Aragorn has read all of the plans for the minions of that
cad and and remittance man, Ji Indur. When asked about his plans Aragorn stated; "That poor
fool wraith. Our advantage was so overwhelming BEFORE this breakthrough. I have ordered the
entire cryptography team shipped to Mirkwood and all of my soldiers have been instructed to tie
their right hands behind their backs to even the odds slightly. Anything else would be
un-sporting."

Steward Ecthelion when informed of the threats to his life told issued this statement; "The
pathetic threats of a deluded servant of Sauron are of no concern to us. Especially one who sends
such easily deciphered messages. We intend to crush this rebellion and put in a half-way house
for recovering mushroom addicts on the site of Barad-dur."

Meanwhile, in the far east, Girion Lord of Dale confirmed rumors of a outbreak of hoof and mouth
disease amongst the sheep population in Dilgul. "We are very concerned about this
problem," Lord Girion said in the exclusive interview. "We all know what happens when
Uvatha is anywhere near your livestock. Hoof and mouth disease is a natural consequence. With
our Dwarven allies and a contingent of halfling warriors we intend to put an end to this menace to
public health."

Thranduil, King of Greenwood issued only this cryptic statement to the Dark Servants via his
embassy in Mistrand; "Go away. Leave our trees alone. We love our trees. You can't have
them. Tell the halflings that we have no mushrooms."

ah! what the hell i knew you'd probably read it and realise the game no. , the big question is can you do anything about it, personally i think not. Still being the sporting person i am it gives you a limited fighting chance.

not changing my orders because i'm that confident. You start dying next turn :slight_smile:

'idiot'? Cloud Lord
