Quest 1: A Wild Dwarf Appears! [Dictated/Action][Open to all - let me know if I messed up!!]

[fuckelves]

[Where is he? Why is there a book in his hand?]

...from the make of this place, I'd say this is Elf sorcery...

[To appease his curiosity, Thorin opens the book and finds not only his name, but the words he spoke not seconds ago written inside.]

...definitely Elf devilry.

[He tilts a brow and observes his surroundings - seems to be a lobby of some sort. Dwarves don't typically live in castles, so he knows this is not the work of his kind - and his kind would never demand the sacrifice that this castle did.]

Where in Mahal's beard am I?

Perhaps you are right. I mean, I wouldn't want Kili or Fili, or anyone else, to be stuck here without any route out. Maybe it's best that the rest are back home and we concentrate on finding a way back when we can? [Always the optimist, Bilbo.]

[fuckelves]

[Thorin gives a weak smile.]

Aye, if there's anyone who can find their way out of here, I'm sure it's you, Master Baggins.

You are indeed a most gifted Hobbit.

[unexpected_adventures]

Thank you, Thorin. I do try, even though I am rather soft, as you once said.

[fuckelves]

You are indeed soft, Bilbo.

But the world needs gentle Shire folk such as yourself. Otherwise the world would be filled with people like......well, me!

And I think the world can only handle one Thorin Oakenshield.

I would hope that this soft hobbit becomes hardier as the journey goes on. I am trying my best, Thorin. [He gave the dwarf a proud smile.]

[fuckelves]

Aye, being hardier is fine - but don't lose sense and don't let the journey change who you are, young Hobbit!
