I started a Rohan warrior, spoke to King Theoden who asked me to scout Isengard. Isengard was scouted, but a bunch of Uruk scouts caught me as I was leaving. I tried to fight, but having only a spear to defend myself their arrows tore me to shreds. I awoke with all my belongings gone except for a ration of cram. I returned to Edoras and spoke with the king in my rags. I decided two things, I needed some friends and a change of work. So I hired a few youths and became a courier, delivering letters to Gondor over and over again. I eventually bought some clothes and weapons, then a horse. I was escorting a caravan when war broke out and we were attacked by a large band of orcs in Ithilien. Again I lay near dead on the grass, but this time I was left with some gear and my horse made it out alive.
