Join us for the last player interview of part one. Listen to Max talk about his hobbit character Tesoro. At the end of the interview, the players wind up back where they started, at Bree. Barliman Butterbur has some bad news for the Fellowship of Light.

After the ritual the fellowship trails the shadow through Tharbad. At the Greyflood, they encounter Estel, the Dúnedain, and a creature akin to the Watcher at the Westgate of Moria. 

With Raiken dying on the plains of Rohan, the group decides to do Taradon's ritual. The good news is that Raiken is healed. The bad news is that the group released a shadow maiar from the void. 

In our most inappropriate episode to date, the characters finish off the last of the enemies at the Fords of Isen. Meanwhile, the players lose their minds after a called shot to a very sensitive region.

When the party decided to put off doing Taradon's ritual, Saruman found a way to force their hand. Our heroes are sandwiched at the Fords of Isen between more Umbarians, trying to recover their lost equipment, and the prototype Uruk-hai. One of them has a Morgul blade... Enough said.

Join us as we discuss all things Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) with Jerry Snook and Chris Pierson, the Community Manager and Lead World Builder (respectively) from Standing Stone Games.

Now that they have the items assembled and the riddle of Taradon's Wager figured out, will the party perform the ritual? Saruman seems to think they should. To help them in their decision, Saruman sends out some prototype Uruk-hai with a Morgul Blade to chase them through the plains of Rohan. 

The heroes crack the mysteries of Taradon, find the last of the items, and solve the mysteries of the "Wager." The question is, what will they do with that information?

The party is still finding their way through the catacombs of Orthanc. In this session they are on the verge of finding Taradon's shield, the embodiment of his "Wagers" diamond.

The group is in Isengard. Saruman informs the party that Taradon built Orthanc back in the Second Age. He then grants permission to search through Orthanc's catacombs to find the shield of Taradon and the last item of Taradon's Wager.
