I've read through the adventures in the starter set, and am a bit puzzled by a few bits of them. I figured I'd post them here, and see if folks can help me muddle through them.
- Lobelia Bracegirdle has not married Otho Sackville-Baggins yet (indeed when he shows up in the adventures in "Most Excellent Fireworks", there's no link mentioned between her and him). Why would she have been disappointed to see Bilbo return from his adventures? She wasn't in line to inherit his house at that stage (that was the Sackville-Bagginses).
- What is the significance of the childrens' game in "Expert Treasure Hunters" page 11? Surely they're not actually playing with the Bullroarer's club?
- Who sends the letter to Farmer Maggot in "Involuntary postmen"? What are its contents? [My guess here is that it's from Bilbo]
- Again in "Involuntary postmen", why do the player-heroes have to stay off the East Road? Aren't they just doing "community service" by delivering the mail, in which case the bounders would leave them alone? Or are they afraid of the dwarves using the road for some reason?
