@Aqarius the far side is so trippy
@sbv it is so very addictive
The Hobbit has a narrator, who speaks from a "modern" perspective. It describes in the beginning how Hobbits are few now and avoid the tall folk, all that. So I'm fairly sure this is the narrator giving a frame of reference, rather than Bilbo knowing the smell.
Later it is also said that Orcs are cunning inventors of things that kill, including things that kill a lot of people at once.
Not only that, but in LoTR Helms Deeps outer wall is blown up with gun powder or similar.
@teft Aunt Agnes knows what's up!
Fantastic! Really well done! May the sneaking terror Illdrephu rein forever in your players minds!
@Doug Any inspiration taken from Xena is likely a good outcome ensured!
Philip the Brigand sounds like a great lad and annoying foe!
A good one, but it was actually somewhat complicated!
