I can't wait to get my new cintiq...I'm losing my mind over here! (mental degeneration debuff in effect...scales with player level.)

‘This sketch of the arrow shot by Bard the Bowman finding its mark in the Dragon’s belly above burning Lake Town (The Hobbit Chapter 14, Fire and Water) was published in The J. R. R. Tolkien Calendars 1973 and 1974. The writing on the left side of the picture reads: ‘The moon should be a crescent: it was only a few nights after the New Moon on Durin’s Day’; in the left-hand bottom corner: ‘Dragon should have a white naked spot where arrow enters’; and at the bottom: ‘Bard the Bowman should be standing after release of arrow at extreme left point of the piles.’
