Jesters of Middle-earth - Episode 61 - Ruminate and Ride

The Fellowgroup made final preparations before heading to Helm’s Deep. While searching Wormtongue’s room, Guy and Tyler found a strange orb, and as soon as Tyler touched it, he was consumed by horrible visions of war and destruction, yellow boots outside a burning house, and the voice of someone who knew Tyler did not belong in Middle-earth. Meanwhile, Adam finally got his armour fixed, he and GanDelf acquired more shadow from mangling the corpse of Wormtongue to create a decoy hobbit, and they went off in search of horses. In a horse-loving kingdom, will they find anyone willing to give up a beloved animal companion? Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Lore Master Tom McGee.

With King Théoden’s mind no longer under the influence of the Dark Lord, the Fellowgroup made proper introductions. Adam looted Wormtongue’s body, Guy removed the blade from Éomer’s neck, and Yolo frustrated all of them when he admitted he had once again donned the ring. They grew concerned about Rascals showing up and requested horses so they could be on their way, but Théoden warned them that the Dothraki would not let them get far and they should instead make a stand against the warriors at Helm’s deep. Will Adam’s macabre plan to make a decoy hobbit from Womtongue’s body throw their enemies off their trail?

In the hall of King Théoden, Wormtongue ordered the guards to kill Yolo, but luckily the ringbearer remained protected by plot armour. Théoden began having brief moments of clarity, but he became confused and suspicious of GanDelf’s wizardry and threw her outside under guard. Guy, Tyler, and Adam tried to bring the king out of his delusion, and even brought Éomer into the conversation to help, but as the horselord spoke up, Wormtongue stabbed him and Théoden retaliated and began to strangle Wormtongue. Tyler reluctantly helped finish off Wormtongue and the veil over Théoden was finally lifted. But has the Fellowgroup truly gained a new ally?

The Fellowgroup slowly came to, tied up on horse back, travelling with Éomer and his riders towards Edoras. They each felt the shadow growing within them, and couldn’t break free of their bonds no matter how much struggled. Arriving at the hall of King Théoden, Éomer received a frosty welcome and his people were all disarmed. They were brought before the king, who looked extremely old and sickly, but more than that, his advisor, Wormtongue, looked and spoke exactly like that guy who played Petyr Baelish in Game of Thrones, and he referred to the Riders of Rohan as Dothraki! Will the Fellowgroup talk their way out of certain captivity? Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Lore Master Tom McGee.

Wet Change put on a show to earn food and lodging. Aunt Delf and Fomo improvised a song about horses that played well with the crowd, Guy pulled people from the audience to make a human pyramid, but they collapsed and Guy hurt himself, and Tyler got stuck in a mud pit, so Guy helped him out but got stuck in the process. As Adam and Aunt Delf struggled to free Guy, Tyler brought up the famed Eomer on stage to sculpt his face out of mud and, miraculously, the horse lord liked it. The Fellowgroup turned in, only to be drugged and bound to horses, being taken to see King Theoden. Will they survive Eomer’s bid to get back in his king’s favour?

With Wet Change about to perform in exchange for food and lodging, Adam worked with a very stressed stage manager at the inn to put together a setlist while they struggled through their lack of mutual understanding about blackouts, Matlock, and literacy. Aunt Delf translated the setlist into pictures for the stage manager, Guy reluctantly agreed to do some basic stunts, and Tyler was told to sculpt his admirer’s face out of potato in exchange for a pencil for Adam. But with all the potatoes having been eaten and no time for rehearsal, can Wet Change entertain the crowd enough to earn at least one night of good sleep?

The Fellowgroup entered the village of Fieldsway, and were immediately warned of how dangerous it would become after dark when the Riders of Rohan returned. Trying to hide their identities, Adam claimed they were travelling minstrels and they were given lodgings in exchange for putting on a show. He volunteered Del for singing, Guy for stunts, Tyler for shovelling s***, and himself as the host. Before their performance, they learned that any Riders who followed the old ways had been exiled by their King Theoden and that many people don’t support the king’s war. Can Wet Change maintain their cover as the less-honourable Riders approach? Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Lore Master Tom McGee.

The members of Wet Change were plagued with strange dreams about someone taking the hobbits to Isengard, the very fortress where Gandalf had been imprisoned. Guy recalled that he looked like Orlando Bloom in the dream and the rest of the troupe slowly recalled the actors that had appeared in their shared vision. They had never seen that version of The Lord of the Rings, but bizarrely, Tyler recalled having seen an entirely different version of the movie. In need of a good night’s sleep, Adam sniffed out a nearby settlement in Rohan. But can Del hide her Gandalfishness well enough to stave off suspicion from their unsuspecting hosts?Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Lore Master Tom McGee.Jesters of Middle-earth streams live every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dumbdumbdice)Enjoying Jesters of Middle-earth? - Consider supporting the show for as little as $1 a month to get BTS fun, an ad-free feed, and even add your own character to the podcast!

The Fellowgroup got lucky as the orc commander struggled to land a blow, and eventually GanDelf redirected one of Adam’s missed strikes into the orc and the fight was won. Immediately, Tyler stormed into the water in search of Denethea and broke his toe on an orc helm, but Guy and Adam got him back to safety before he succumbed to the deep water and swift current. When they finally found Denethea, it was too late to save her and they were forced to admit she was truly lost to them. Del said some final words and they built a simple cairn to lay her to rest. Can the Fellowgroup survive another attack without their fiercest warrior?
