Hendor is scouting around Dol Guldur, leaving one ranger back at the Beorning Village to rebuild the defenses. The spiders and orc patrols everywhere make it hard to stay hidden and he has to wait long for opportunities to get closer to the fortress of the Necromancer. One time he had to take out a patrol that spotted him.

Ardhrandir helps the Beornings to repair damages to the village and to build some defenses. Another ranger who happens to be in the village to help says that he has seen the shaman again, lurking at the border of the forest and looking with red glowing eyes.

Maethor follows the spider webs and finally comes to a kind of base of the spiders. The webs go up to the highest trees here. Maethor sees many spiders of all sizes and colours. One of them is especially big and fat and seems to be very important for the other spiders. This big spider lives in an area where many spider eggs lie on the ground.

Dazhgûl is still gathering forces in Gundabad for the big attack. (OOC: no action)

Grievous is moving north until he finally comes into sight of the Lonely Mountain. He finds a camp of northmen of an unknown kind near Dale.

Ulfar Stormfist is raiding an elven caravan that moved to Esgaroth. (battle following)

Glosur enters Mirkwood and follows the path. There is no trouble until the dwarves reach a dark river. Glosur decides to fell a tree as an improvisated bridge and the dwarves start to walk over it. When most of the dwarves passed the bridge successfully, one of the rams trips over a root and falls, taking two dwarves and a big part of the supplies with it. The dwarves who fell into the black water stopped moving and drowned. After making half the way through the forest, Glosur spots elves fighting orcs in the south.

Elestan heads to Eagles' Eyrie. As soon as he arrives there, he and his men are grabbed by some eagles and taken up to the eagle hosts. Elestan, being able to speak the languages of all birds, asks Gwaihir about news. Gwaihir speaks about many orc patrols in the north and all around Mirkwood and a big group of orcs and trolls marching to Erebor. He also tells about the raided Beorning village and the rangers who are currently helping to protect it. But no information do the eagles have from what happens inside Mirkwood for the trees grew too dense and a shadow lies on it that blurs the sight. At last Gwaihir offers to bring Elestan's men wherever they want.

Thranduil gets reports from his scouts about a large group of dwarves marching through Mirkwood, armed to the teeth. They were even seen chopping down one of the biggest and oldest trees!

Rohaval: [OOC] I need more information about the character (backstory etc.) and more specific actions to include it in the RP.

Ugdush Brood-master (OOC: I assume the name had a typo) marches through Mirkwood when he met a spider shaman. The shaman asks for help to destroy a Beorning village and warns from rangers in the area.
