Week In LOTRO
Karvett
- Had a good time “leading” the Tolkien Prof, Dr Corey Olsen and SignumU folks (Maven incl.) through Fil Gashan Thursday night. My many incapacitations were no doubt entertaining.
- F2P stream – finished Epic Vol 1 Ch3 in North Downs and started across the TrollShaws. It’s enjoyable for me to see LOTRO fans from Sweden, Germany, Belgium, Israel, New Zealand and those are just the ones that I remember.
- A very special Beardkisser Yulefest special will happen this Thursday, Dec 22nd at 8 PM CST… Bellorina’s first Yulefest. Mrs Karv is VERY excited!s
Maven
- In Two Dwarves & a Sad Pooh, got laughed at in the Prancing Pony, but Arathaert defended me; then ran Webs of the Scuttledells at level 25 with LadyGunn
- Poked a Mumak (well, Sanswinda poked it) on the Great Bridge of Osgiliath and got squashed…good times
- Sorta tanked the Fil Gashan instance with Gryfflet and gang, ably led by Karvador
Andang
- Finals
- Graduated
Forte
- Old Anorien Quest purchase, but still in Central Gondor
- Updated Hobnanigans League Live Scoreboard, expanded into Discord
- ARDAman Cancelled
Teriadwyn
- Made it to Osgiliath in the Volume 4 epic story, then got squashed by a Mumak, and got to level 104!
- Gave some crafting advice to Mom, advised her to take Explorer for the Easily Lost title.
Pineleaf
- During the Arkenstone Academy field trip, we completed Book 3 of the Moria epic.
- Brushed off my lore-master and resumed the Minas Tirith quests.
- Crickhollow warden completed the last of the skirmish lieutenant deeds.

Andang. Congratulations of finishing college. It is a big step up and I am happy for you. It has been fun to listen since the beginning of the podcast and it feels like catching up with family every week. Keep up the good work!
