Scene: Trouble at the Prancing Pony

The four hobbits take shelter amongst merry song and full pints of ale. This is the Prancing Pony, home to innkeeper Barliman Butterbur and the folk of Bree. The regulars did not expect the ruckus that a band of traveling hobbits would stir this night...

Strider has taken his spot at the back of the pub next to the warm hearth, the guestbook and quill are ready to sign at the bar, and the old black cat keeps a wary eye open for stray rodents. When the One Ring makes its way onto Frodo's finger, he enters into the unseen realm of wraiths and confronts the Eye of Sauron!
