AIME Adventure

The Out of the Frying Pan Initiative seeks to encourage young Hobbits interested in seeking adventure and all that comes with the title of Trouble-Maker, to widen the world view of the chosen Hobbits, and to underline the importance of seeing the wide world that lies beyond the Brandybuck. To meet this end, Masters Bilbo Baggins of Bag End and Balin, son of Fundin and Dwarf Guardian of Erebor, have decided to offer three (3) Hobbits their very own sets of adventuring gear and a quest to see them started.

The Quest

Throughout Master Baggins' numerous journeys and undertakings, he has made quite a few friends in quite a few places. It is Masters Baggins and Balin's desire that the Brave Hobbits meet some of these friends.

To prove to all, and not least to themselves, that Hobbits are bigger than they seem, the party is tasked with collecting the signatures of four (4) of Master Baggins' Esteemed Friends, who have all agreed to take good care of the Brave Hobbits should they knock upon their door.

The Hobbit-Friends are as follows:

Mister Tom Butterbur of the Prancing Pony, Bree (Grandfather of Barliman)

Master Elrond of Rivendell, the Last Homely House (At Rivendell)

Beorn, Chieftain of the Beornings (At Beorn's House)

And lastly, the very fellow who pushed Master Baggins himself out the door all but five years ago, Gandalf, the Conjuror (Wandering about, to be introduced when the opportunity calls for it.)

Upon the successful collection of these four (4) signatures, and upon handing this piece of parchment to Balin, son of Fundin, the party shall be rewarded most handsomely indeed.

I wish you all the luck in the world!

Signed, Bilbo Baggins, Bag End, Bagshot Row, Hobbiton, The Shire,

Also signed by the Brave Hobbits themselves,


It's meant as a starter adventure for level 1 characters, with a lot of the encounters coming from the random journey events, but with side-quests and other distractions at each of the checkpoints. The end goal is to get them over to Dale/Lake-town for some adventures in Wilderland. Unbeknownst to Bilbo --- Elrond, Beorn and Gandalf have decided to keep an eye on the party, just in case they get into some terrible trouble, which should mean the party will survive at least until they're done with this quest.
