What's the most unusual thing that has washed up on the banks of the Brandywine River?
A keg of cram, lol
Sergio :-)
A cool eyepatch!.. It was still attached to the drowned pirate but w/e.
I actually haven't seen anything unusual. May be an old boot?
It is very interesting that you should ask that. The most unusual thing that has washed up on the shores of the BW river was a Nazgul. Many do not know that there was a 10th Nazgul, one who was a robust king that enjoyed large feasts, before his succumbing to Sauron. When the Nazguls were chasing down the hobbits at the BW river, they all came to a complete stop avoiding the water, except one Nazgul. The Robust Nazgul's horse could not stop in time, causing the Robust Nazgul to flip into the water and the Robust Nazgul evaporated into nothing. Thus we were left with the Nine Nazguls and the story continued from there. Just FYI to you lore fans.

I keep waiting for a single man to come ashore and play LOTRO with me for the rest of my life
. . . :) . . . but nothing yet
Alas, those long-lived among us remember the sad day a pair of hobbits drowned in the Baranduin, naught but their boat recovered on the banks. Their only child? Frodo Baggins.Quote:

A delicate blue silk gown, interwove with silver metal threads forming complex Elven design elements. The gown is in poor shape, having been torn and stretched many times along its passage down the Brandywine. How long has it been in the water? Why is it just surfacing now?
Hmm... a fried fish?
...
Bingo Boffin!
A mermaid with a great smile on her face. The question is how did the Hobbits make her smile so much?
Me, after doing a few days of Tavern crawl.
I've been told I wash up pretty well.
But I've also been asked to do my bathing at home.
beaten up corpse of a black horse , there was also rumor about dark figure close to it
A nice spicy chicken sandwich. Mmmmmmmm.
a dwarf on a turtle :o

Not an expert but perhaps a treasure chest from a Corsair ship? No idea how it would have got there and no idea what would be inside it. Perhaps a few bottles of rum and an old pirate hat?
One single nondescript sock.
A [Mariner's eye-patch] with a dourhand brigand still attached. :rolleyes:Quote:

Something called the Deathly Hallows . . . hmm.
Don't lose hope! I found mine a few years ago in Windfola & we've been together playing LOTRO since then :)Quote:

Me.. I wanted to teach some hobbitses to doggypaddle but I didn't wait a full hour after eating and got a cramp. Maybe that's why they tend not to swim at all; their meals aren't far enough apart to allow it to be done safely.
Why Brandywine? Why not Anduin, Bruinen, Celebrant or Withywindle? I am sure interesting stuff can wash out of those, too.
Pirate treasure
A Golden Perch
Do you happen to know what the Golden Perch is serving for dinner? Meat pies, perhaps?
A picnic basket full of wondrous goodies! Hard to imagine ANY Hobbit letting that get away from them.
An entwife.
Yeah like all that stuff from the pirate event.Quote:

Can confirm that neither brandy, nor wine, has even washed ashore on the Brandywine River... I think we have an epic case of false advertising and subverted expectations.

“They had begun to forget: forget their own beginnings and legends, forget what little they had known about the greatness of the world. It was not yet gone, but it was getting buried: the memory of the high and the perilous. But you cannot teach that sort of thing to a whole people quickly. There was not time. And anyway you must begin at some point, with some one person. I dare say he was “chosen” and I was only chosen to choose him; but I picked out Bilbo.”

An elf maid, a horse and a hobbit
Washed up on my shore one day.
I called all their names out sweetly,
But they said that they would not stay,
For they were fast running,
Nine riders were coming,
With visages dark'ning the day.
As they rode through the rills,
I felt time run before -
I had such an odd thrill,
And I knew there'd be new things ashore.
Slowly there came a dour thunder
Of hooves not of heaven or earth.
Then a screeching did sunder
My elegant wondering mirth -
A darkness was coming
With vileness and cunning
Carrying Morgoth's own worth.
The Elf maiden saluted me
And call'd me by name and knew more.
She spoke kindly to me
And foretold of new things ashore.
The rising of dark thunder halted,
Reached crescendo and with it a chill
Which ran through my rills with a sourness salted
With the mem'ries from ages thought still.
My waters knew then
With terrible ken
Exactly what they would next kill.
The Elf spoke in voices from long bygone ages
Brought forward by knowledge and need.
Those songs awoke rapids and rages,
My depths rose and gathered their speed.
The Dark stepped in shallow,
Their ire now lay fallow,
While their fear now impelling their deed.
In my shallow they stepped,
Gath'ring their sureness
To the soft rills they kept
To kill the two riders' pureness.
The dark riders' saw victory then in my rills.
Their blades came out bare and cold.
The Elf maid and Hobbit stayed still
And they waited as my waters told
Of a new thunder running my courses.
The riders nine came to my mid with their horses.
My True Thunder crashed down from the hills....
Of the crates and the barrels,
The dresses and hats,
Of the pirates' eye-patches,
And the spiders and rats,
Of the myriad things that have come to my shore,
Washed in my waters from all Eriador,
Out of all of the things I have washed in my waves,
Those nine funny skeletons still are my faves.
A Troll's toenail
That bow cosmetic with the feathers....man that one looks nice!
A lucky horseshoe!

A pouch of Summer Green-weed Pipe-weed that someone forgot after the summer festival. Amazingly still good, must be a well-kept pouch that stored it, allowing it to float down the long and winding river. Though how it got from the Party Tree to way over to the Brandywine River is beyond me, unless one of the hobbits had a wee bit too much to drink. ;-)

"Now, you may not believe this, but there Hob Hayward is, and he saw it too!
"Well sir, sometimes of an afternoon when I ought to do some weed-pulling, instead my feet lead me down to the shores of the Brandywine, right where Bingo learned to swim. The mud is cool and the river is slow and doesn't look so dangerous. You can see the High Hay across the river, and I said to myself, I might just take a stroll across the Bridge and see if good ol' Hob is near. And who should come off the Stock side of the Bridge but Hob himself! One thing leading to another, we soon had our pipes a-going, having moved up to the grass to take a load off.
"A few fine smoke rings later, Hob says to me, he does, 'Bandobras, my lad, what do you suppose THAT is?' And he points at a shiny round thing on the shore where I'd been a-standing not ten minutes prior. Neither of us knowing, we got up and went to give it a poke with a stick. And cart me off to Bree-Hill if I'm lying, but it was a dragon scale!
"Well, that's what I told myself, and Hob, and everybody else that day. But a few days later the Quick Post brought me a letter from my cousin (second cousin) Ronald up in Dwaling, and he said from my description, it is a scale from a big kind of sand-lizard they have up there just north of him. He said they use them to make pigmented glass! Can you believe that? And it floated all the way down here to Stock.
"Where is it? Well, I managed to put a hole in it, and a string through the hole, so now it hangs just inside my east window, and brightens up the kitchen every morning. Come to tea and I'll show you tomorrow. Yes, all of you lot!"
A wizard...

Me after drinking from the ale keg, or perhaps it isn't so unusual but i just can't remember being there after the drink.
Oddly enough, a dodecahedron!
Me, after a long night of celebration.
My wrecked plate! (What? It was dirty!)
Gwindeth's Tears
A jar of Pickles!
I sometimes wonder what happened to the fishing hobbit who was dragged out to sea in one of the Boffin children's stories. Did he ever wash up somewhere downstream?
