'The invitations are all written, my adventuring friend, and now they need to be delivered! Let's see... I want to be certain I have not forgotten anyone.'

Bingo leafs through a stack of envelopes, reading aloud the name on each.

'Myrtle Boggs, Merrimac Fairbairn and Poppy Bracegirdle, my kind and caring neighbours. Cousin Prisca and her family. The talkative and friendly Milo Goodbody, of Bree. Haley and Theodore, of course! The author and literary critic Bilbo Baggins. Spalvi Stout-heart, if he can set aside his duties with the Iron Garrison for a short journey. Langhár the Beorning. Egwylf the tracker, of Rohan. Humfrey Rumming, if he promises to leave his worms and salamanders and other such creatures behind! Iola Isbrun and her family, as they are distant relatives by some reckoning or other, although I cannot figure the relation exactly. And I have an invitation here for Willem Whisker and his family as well... perhaps you could read it to him?

'I do not know exactly where you will be able to find each of my invited guests, ${PLAYER}. Perhaps you can ask Bert Bartleby? He tends to travel rather a lot, and might have seen some of these folk more recently than we have.

'If you get tired of delivering these invitations, I suppose we could rely on the Quick Post to do it. Leave any you do not deliver on the table near Postmaster Proudfoot, south of here by the Town Hole.'

Now that the invites are out of your hands, it is time for Bingo to prepare for the party!
