The Eye of the World - Chaper 2 - Strangers

This is a DnD campaign! A strange lady NPC and a decidedly spooky raven (a spy of the Nazgul?). Straight out of Foreshadowing 101. Maybe I'm being unkind, as there's only a certain number of ways to introduce plot elements. But its quite brutal - the Lady Moiraine introduces herself to who I think is the main protagonist, comes out with a few mysterious utterances, and gives him a strange coin (and also his best friend Matrim, I think) . All in one chapter.

The chapter ends with more talk of a gleeman (a travelling entertainer, it seems) and a peddler arriving - the last line of "It was going to be the best Bel Tine ever" seems oddly....sarcastic.

Or am I being paranoid?
