The One Ring - Season 6 - The Werewolf of Mirkwood

The thing about meddlesome elves is that they're meddlesome.

We returned to our One Ring campaign today, run by the excellent Paul Mitchener. This is the latest 'season' we've been in (Paul runs 4-6 sessions over hangouts and they always seem to finish pretty climatically).

Today we set about ensnaring and slaying the Werewolf of Mirkwood; we'd killed it before only to have it come back. This time we'd sought advice from Saruman, and had the assistance of Radagast, and an ancient artefact. The plan went swimmingly (clearly the dice were paying us back for the multiple Eyes of Sauron we rolled on a trek to Angmar some seasons ago), right up to the point when our wood elf Miriel (who can now go full Legolas) deciding to try out the use of the Black Speech that she'd learnt when visiting Saruman. Sadly, the werewolf's spirit took this as an invitation and decided to take up residence inside her.


She assures us it's all under control, but Radagast looks worried and the GM keeps smiling and asking for Wisdom checks. Next stop is a visit to Beorn to try and get some advice...
