In fact, the quest that was demonstrated for us sent our Man Soldier, decked out in Gondorian armor, to the Prancing Pony to speak with Barliman, the bartender of the inn. Barliman referred to a group of rowdy Hobbits that tore up one of his rooms, then referred us to a drunken adventurer whose pals had gone missing. The drunk's friends were last seen heading off in the direction of the Barrow Downs near Bree in search of treasure. In no time we found ourselves creeping through a subterranean Barrow Down cavern strewn with rubble and cobwebs. After confronting a slew of undead Wights and giant spiders, our soldier faced off against an uber-frightening Wight Lord mini-boss.
