The wraiths WERE pretty subtle? It’s just that hobbits and Breelanders are super paranoid about most Queer And Strange Folk That Come By The Road And Have A Grim Look About Them.

Lindethiel:
I mean, I’d be suspicious of that look too tho

MisbehavingMaiar:
…I guess they could have hissed less. Or tried not being The Spookiest all the time.

Lindethiel:
THAT ISN’T SUBTLE!
THAT’S “HELLO I’M BAD NEWS AND IMMA FUCK UP YOUR LIFE”.
You want subtle, you get a normal looking dude with a beer belly, THAT’S SUBTLE

*slides the innkeeper $20*
“Hey man, you got– you got any hobbits? >_> I’m just sayin I know a guy who pays top dollar for hobbits”

MisbehavingMaiar:
LOOK, WE RAN OUT OF NORMAL LOOKING DUDES IN MORDOR SOMETIME AROUND THE SECOND AGE. WRAITHS ARE THE BEST WE GOT.

Lindethiel:
WELL MAYBE YOU SHOULD BE WORKING ON YOUR AD CAMPAIGN?

MisbehavingMaiar:
We got some locals to help out in Bree and other places! It’s just that apparently, everyone we interact with Has A Queer Look About Them And Folks Like Them Not

Lindethiel:
MY POINT EXACTLY. RECRUIT BETTER LOOKING PEOPLE.

MisbehavingMaiar:
We tried! It’ can’t be helped! Wholesome potbellied folks are just inherently do-gooders! That leaves us with sleazebags, people who squint a lot, and Folks Not From Round Here With Foul Air About Them That Make The Horses Wary.
