  • Sam – not quite as happy to walk through the wilds, but happy to follow Frodo
  • Pippin – sad to miss the best beer in the East Farthing by walking cross-country
  • Farmer Maggot (& Family) – a farmer, most notably known for his awesome mushrooms and terrorizing Frodo.
  • Black Riders – still scary, still following Frodo
  • Merry – has avoided all of the walking around the Shire, probably enjoyed lots of beer

Join Caitlin and Rachel and Emily as we do a quick intro discussion before starting Fellowship of the Ring.
