From the introduction: This is intended as a one shot adventure for a group of hobbits of the Shire centered around the Yuletide celebration. Hopefully a great way to introduce friends and family to The One Ring over the holidays. When: Any year in the Shire. The adventure begins on the 27th of Foreyule (December 19th on a modern calendar) Where: The North Farthing Village of Long Cleeve in the Shire What: The village awakens two days before the start of Yuletide to discover the feast-hall ransacked and the food prepared for the Yuletide feast missing. To make matters worse, the Yule-tree and all the presents on it is missing, sawed down with only a stump left. Why: Without food and presents, the usual joy and celebration of Yuletide has turned into a time of despair. Not only that, but winter will be a lean and dangerous time if the food stores are not recovered. Who: A group of hobbits selected by the local Shirriff are sworn is as Bounders and sent out to solve the mystery of the theft and if possible, save Yuletide.
