OOC Details

This event involves some players taking on one of the "Flying the Coop" Chicken Quests (ideally it will be the "Flying the Coop -- Trollshaws" quest, since it lasts the longest) and then attempting to walk/run to Rivendell as a rather defenseless chicken. A number of participants will also need to act as herders, mainly to protect the chickens from harm. Whether you want to play a chicken, or be a herder, can be decided on the day.

For guides on chicken quests, see http://lotro-wiki.com/index.php/Chicken_Play

Please note:

• There are a number of introductory quests you have to do before getting the "Flying the coop quests", see the quest lists in the linked page above. If you plan to be a chicken, you should have done these before meeting up for the chicken run.
• You don't actually have to complete the "Flying the Coop -- Trollshaws" quest when you get to Rivendell, if you'd like to keep it open for a later run too!
• While being a chicken, you cannot speak to your herders. We'll likely have at least one chuck who'll be in touch with the herd team. The chickens can join a separate chat channel, though, to be announced on the day. Expect a lot of Cluck Norris jokes!
• Here are reports and pictures from our previous chicken run. They are grand fun, so be very welcome!
• When we head through the world, we often get other players joining the herding team. This is very much encouraged! Yay!
