September in in The Lord of the Rings

3018 (3rd Age) - Crickhollow to Bree

Tom rescues Frodo and Co. from the Barrow Wight and they arrive in Bree

Frodo awakes inside the Barrow, and fights off the Wight. He sings, and Tom comes to the rescue, dispelling the Wight and looting the Barrow. The Hobbits each receive a dagger. Tom joins Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin on the remainder of their journey to the Road. Tom leaves, and The Hobbits make the rest of the journey to Bree, where they head to the Prancing Pony. There they meet Barliman Butterbur, Nob, and Strider. During a song, Frodo accidentally puts the Ring on, surprising the Inn's customers and driving them off. Butterbur gives Frodo a letter he was meant to deliver 3 months ago. Strider reveals himself as Aragorn and he joins the party. They learn that the Black Riders are in Bree, so they do not return to their room.
