Nice! Looking forward to the adventure.

Well I'm a ranger so journeying, survival in the wilds and that sort of thing is my forte. I've also invested in a 3rd pip in swords so I'll expect to be at the forefront of any combat that may emerge.

We are merging the two groups into one Company (more on that below).
And so we will continue on Old Bones and Skin with everyone.
Running this "part" (with the Troll) till the end of this 'chapter'.

After that, the plan is to have all (the new Company) go off on the Star of the Mist.
And then return, all together, to finish Old Bones and Skin.

Balin, son of Fundin will be your Company's Patron.

A Patron is an influential individual who has taken an interest in the group, and that in the course of the game will offer the Company additional reasons to go adventuring, often providing both support and counsel.
All Patrons work with the Player-heroes from time to time, following a personal agenda, but in general hoping to influence the events that are going to shape Middle-earth in the years to come.


The Company has:
Homnir & Vidar (the originals of this one)
Aredhel, Galar, Mip & Orodil (from the 'other' Company - who had not met 'their' patron yet, so it is fine to be with Balin for now).
Note: you can easily change Patrons, or work for different Patrons, switching between adventures (doing one thing for one, then another for another Patron).

Per the book, Balin is more in line with the following Callings:
Captain & Champion
(but the Adventures you have should be fine for all)
His agenda being:
Reclaim lost strongholds, eliminate enemy lieutenants, etc.


MECHANICAL BENEFITS
Balin gives you +1 to the Fellowship Points (the "free" Hope you can spend per session).

IMPORTANT - NOTE/REMEMBER TO USE THIS
He also gives an Advantage:
Spend Fellowship to make a combat roll Favoured.
Meaning that if the group agrees to have one of you spend one of those Fellowship points as a Hope point in combat-- you also get to roll Favoured (two d12 Feat dice and take the best).

When you will set out, you will be on a Journey.
A Journey with a "twist", since you will not be mapping out your route-- because you will be following tracks.

Nonetheless, you need to have one (and only one of you) take on the role of:
Guide - In charge of all decisions concerning route, rest, and supplies.

Then, the others must fill out the three following roles:
Hunter - In charge of finding food in the wild.
Look-out - In charge of keeping watch.
Scout - In charge of setting up camp, opening new trails.
But you can "double up': two people can take on the same role of these three, above.

Vidar has a 3 in Travel, which is a favored skill for him, and a pair of fur lined boots that add +1D6 to travel.

I will not find my way in the wilderness but I can cook nearly everything as long as somebody brings me the food.
Then with a full stomach I can do my watch, sure thing.

I got 2 pips in Awareness, Hunting and Explore so can take any role. Favoured for Awareness though so guess I'd be a good Look-out?
