Peregrin "Grin" Gamgee

You grew up peacefully in a farmhouse close to Bagshot Rowarthing. It first happened on your way home one night, when you spotted some outlandish folk around a bright camp-fire. When you described them to Bilbo, he was mighy secretive, but after getting the oppertunity to read his writings you found out that they were Dwarves, probably on their way to the Blue Mountains. From that night you started to shun well-trodden paths, hoping to meet other wayfarers secretly crossing the Shire.

Broken Spells

Spells of Opening and Shutting

This fragment must be recited in front of a door or gate, to magically lock it, or recited backwards to open it if locked. The spell has no effect on a door that has been blocked by magic and now requires a particual word to open it, but might work if the entrance was barred by the same type of magic. The spell starts working as soon as you have finished reciting it.
