Sample post (needs to be 2-3 paragraphs): The old wizard sat down in the hard chair that was given to him and sighed. "Dire needs indeed..." He pulled his pipe out and smoked it thoughtfully. "If indeed what you say is truth the only counsel I can give you would to make trade with your neighbor."
The fat dwarf sneered. "Boirn? You have to be pulling me pant leg. I can't make trade with him?"
The old man smiled. "Your mining of coal hasn't been doing well and his has. His metal work isn't as successful as yours so trading some for the other seems reasonable for me."
"Bah!" The dwarf growled. "I wouldn't give him a bit of my metal for all the gold in middle earth."
Gandalf laughed. "I don't think any dwarf in middle earth would turn that down for a silly grudge. You'll find in time Borin can make a good neighbor."
