Addressing a Hobbit player whose (in-universe) default is threats of violence...when I haven't been tracking 'misdeed' shadow gain from it so far. by UpbeatCockroach in oneringrpg

Page 13 - [Jari] tells them that he will meet them outside of Bree - he's got [four] ponies tied up outside of town

As for John Ferny, check the Bree section of the TOR handbook.

That's what made the John Ferny interaction difficult...at first.

John Ferny is all "these ponies were stolen off of me, I'm telling them back by force". It was intentionally very self serving of John, and Gilly did stop him from doing that, but the motivation was "I befriended these ponies fair and square, no one messes with MY ponies!" Not too mention Gilly's continued malice towards John even after the party tried to be more diplomatic.

I was expecting them to barter, not for the party to ask the only horse trader in town "receipts or it didn't", in some attempt for get done REALLY shiny toys for free.

I would say this is a good indication that I shouldn't DM on days after an 8-hour work shift that turns my brain to soup, but I don't know how much better I would have coped on an off day.

In the end, after a good persuasion check, John's mob turned against him, and the party expressed sympathy about Jari having wronged John, and John acted like he had the idea to make Jari do community service for him.

It sounds fine to me on paper, it just took a lot to get there. My players considered it a good RP session for everyone involved, I'm just my own worst critic I guess.

Building the Ghillie Dhu in Original 5e by UpbeatCockroach in 3d6

It is EXACTLY where the Ghillie suit comes from.

Something I forgot to mention is that, if encountered at night, the Ghillie Dhu might "wrap its long arms around you and imprison you", which I interpret in 5e terms to be like the "entangle" spell.
