 *watches the elves depart. goes back to his patrol* There are more orcs about the edges of these woods. I want none to enter here. *looks at another elf.* Shenn! Go back and get the rest of our fighters. We need everyone if we are to guard these borders effectively. Move it!
<<--we need more elves-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 *races out of the tower making sure the elf is right behind him* Hurry! *he shouts over his shoulder* Get the horses! *turns and faces the tower's door. raises his staff and causes a might wind to keep the doors shut tightly. shouts at the elf over his shoulder* Hurry! I can't keep these doors closed much longer!
<<--get the horses!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 *smiles at the hobbits* Since you have the situation under control, I will be off then. *looks kindly at Frodo* I will relay your message Mr. Underhill . *hurries back to Bilbo and the dwarf. sees the burial taking place. quietly walks up behind the human and looks over at Bilbo. sees that the hobbit is safe. bows his head in respect for the human's uncle.*
<<--back in time for the furneral-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 May I borrow your axe? *smiles and takes the dwarf's axe. uses it to loosen the ground. returns it and helps dig a shallow grave with stone. puts the body and head of the man's uncle into the grave. covers it as best as he cans. stands quietly aside while the man says a few words.* where is legolas? he should be back by now.
<<--worried about the elf-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 *enjoys the wind through her hair. forgets about everything until she sees that she has ridden far and now the road to Gondor appears before her.* i don't think father would mind if i went a little ways to gondor before turning back. who knows i might run into boromir or faramir. *turns on the road and rides some more.*
<<--just out for an afternoon ride-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 *smiles as Elrond helps her to her seat.* You are always the kind gentleman. However, *looks serious* you know of the threat that looms over my home as well as yours. This threat is Saron. His evil is alive once more. I have seen visions and fear for Mithandir. He is at Orcthanac and is in grave danger. But he isn't the only one. The Nagzul are also alive and are on the move. They are looking for the One Ring. Celeborn has doubled the guards on our borders. Orcs that move about in the day are abundant. *sighs heavily* Elrond, my friend. We need your forces to join with ours. The evil are trying to spread us thin. If they succeed, then all is lost.
<<--a serious talk-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 *nods at #6* Yes, but be careful. I do halfway believe this little monster. There may be a greater danger that even it loathes, but I sincerely doubt that it will lead us to safety. Yes, *holds his sword right up against Gollum's neck* It would be best to kill it. *draws in a breath of fear as a dark shadow passes over* Wh... *drops his sword and stares upward, at the flying black rider passing overhead* What evil is this? *watches until it passes, and is still very silent* One of the Nazgul... they ride winged steeds now? This bodes very ill for Gondor. I must report back to father... but this creature must be dealt with first. I wonder what that creature of evil's mission is?
<<--it CAN'T be good-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 *places a gnarled wooden hand on Goldberry's shoulder* My dear lady, do not be at such ill ease. It is alright! You of all people should not be so hasty. There may be things yet you may do to help protect my forest, but I must think on the matter more. Our once friendly neighbor, Sauruman, has turned on us with the blackest of evil- orcs. This is the threat my forest suffers under. Hruuuum Hooom.... I cannot be too hasty in judgement, or I fear I may falter.
<<--I hate being hasty!!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 Look just past the horizon to your left, noble elves. Bree lies just beyond that forest. Worry not! We will reach it shortly after nightfall if we keep our pace. Mithrandir has summoned me to meet with him there, and I have little doubt that he will be there.
<<--be a little more patient!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 *smiles gratefully at Frodo and Legolas as well* Thank you!! Thank you so much.. *gives Legolas a starry eyed look* You're very kind, Mr. Elf, and I wish you well on your journey! I've met an elf! And his name is Legolas! I won't forget!!! Bree? *looks over at Pippin* Bree isn't too far. It's just a little ways past the Brandywine, isn't it? *looks to Merry for conformation* Anyway, we should go, right Master Frodo?
<<--Yaaaaay! Rosie is coming!!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 *spits on the Orc* You fool! How can they kill us? Fine, you want an army? You will get me one! Go to Saruman and tell him to get us a larger army to defeat these trees. Hurry up, before I kill you!
<<--barking orders-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 *growls softy as Wormtongue takes Theoden to his room* Training exercise? Why that little coniving.. *stomps out of the throne room* I'll show him! The borders of Mordor are not idle!! *finds a guard* You there! Get 50 of The Mark's best soldiers assemble outside! We are going to ride! *walks outside and stares at Mordor* This definetly is not going to be a Training exercise...
<<--well least I got my men...-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 Glad you are tagging along Rose! *smiles and looks at Frodo* Well I guess we should head out..before it gets dark. I don't want to spend the night out here! *shudders a bit* 'Specially if there are creatures like that wandering about. Say how far is Bree anyway?
<<--welcome aboard our group Rose!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 I agree with Elladan. Our time is growing short. *stares at the sky* And the sky is growing omnious. I hope Mithrandir is in Bree..
<<--worried and ansty-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 *follows Boromir and his men* Well this is rather odd, don't you think Father. This morning, if you told me that we were going on a journey with Humans, I would have laughed. But look at us now! *sees something darting in the woods* What is that? It looks like...*growls a bit and grabs his axe*...an elf!!
<<--I don't like elves!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 *sighs and feels her heart tear in two as Tom walks away* Farewell dearest. *turns to look up at Treebeard* I want to help you protect Fanghorn. I don't know what I can do, but I don't want to stand idle while Tom is out there...
<<--goodbye Tom!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 *looks from Rose to Sam and back to Rose again. sighs.* I guess I can't stop you from coming along. You're more than welcome to journey with us to Bree. *walks over to Legolas* I thank you again for your kind offer to escort Rose and for your assistance with that...that rider. I know you must go back to your traveling companion. Perhaps you could tell him that I wish him well and maybe I will see him again?
<<--say hi to my uncle-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 *runs over to Ugluk* Those treeessssss, they have killed the otherssssssss. We need an army to defeat them. What shall we dooooo?
<<--killer trees???-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 #6*still on his horse, looks down at Faramir* My Lord, I shall take my horse and take a look around.
<<--just in case-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
#4*squeezes Gollem's arm even tighter* Don't believe him, my lord, *says while glaring at Gollem* I think it's lying. It's trying to trick us. We should just kill it.
<<--yuck-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
#5*looks at #6 and whispers* A digusting little thing, isn't it? *hears Gollem's warning. Looks at Faramir.* What should we do my lord?
<<--are we in danger?-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 *gets to his feet just as the elf and Gandalf bolt out of the door. looks around and finds his staff. rushes up to the door and flings it open. roars at his men* GET THEM!!!! *looks at the orcs* KILL THEM!!!!! *runs after Ganadalf and the elf.*
<<--GET THEM!!!!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 *smiles and takes Goldberry's hands in his.* Oh my precious darling. I could not take you on such a perilous journey. My life would be meaningless if something where to happened to you. Please, my love, stay here with Treebeard. He and the other ents could protect you much better than I ever could. *gives her a soft kiss on her cheek* Good-bye my love. *looks at Treebeard* I have no doubt that you could protect the only thing that matters in my life, my Goldberry. *looks at the dead orcs* No doubt what-so-ever. *turns back to Goldberry and gives her a sad smile. turns and quietly walks away.*
<<--good-bye my love-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 *glowers at Eomer* My Lord, *he softly says* perhaps Eomer overstates the situation? Sending 50 our of men to guards borders that are safe surely is a waste of manpower. Methinks maybe Eomer has other plans for the 50 men since our borders aren't in any danger? *smiles and pats the king's shoulder* Ah, but you are tired My Lord and perhaps it is me who is overstating Eomer's intentions. Sending 50 men could be a good training exercise for them. They haven't had much to do here except enjoy the company of their families and loved ones. They're probably getting soft. Let's send them to the idled borders where they can...rest. *smiles* And that's what you need my lord. Rest. Come, I will help you to your room.
<<--evil innuendos-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 *rushes up to Frodo* Please Frodo, *grabs his hand* Don't separate me and Sam. I won't be any trouble. As a matter of fact, you won't even know I'm here. *smiles* Besides that, you need a woman around. I'm the only one here who is a good cook!
<<--you need me!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 Yes, my lord. *sets off immediately on his horse and starts off straight towards Isenguard* I shall deal with this matter myself.
<<--watch out, Sauruman!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 *shrieks even louder in pure terror* THE HORRIBLE LADY!! Can't you smell her?? She comes, she comes... Shelob, she comes...*spits at Faramir* She will kill you, human, if you don't let us go... Gollum knows her, he does, and if you release him, Gollum won't let her eat you, he won't... *eyes glitter with evil* Let us go!! We are Gollum, a good Gollum! We can save the humans, we can...
<<--let us go!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 *sighs as they keep galloping* We really must hurry... Are you sure that Mithrandir will be in Bree? Father really wanted to speak with him, and I fear our time is running short.
<<--worried-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 *stares at Eomer for a long moment* Sister-son... You say we need to move? I don't want to deal with it. I'm not feeling well. Go on. I give you 50 men to set up a patrol around our borders. Please... I need my rest.
<<--sighs-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 #4: Yes, your magisty! *bows to Celeborn and goes off with the other three elves* Oh, I hope the lady Galadriel is alright! This is a horrible time for her to be on the move, what with all the evil roaming about...
<<--I'm coming!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
Ehhh... *looks at Rose, and then looks over at Frodo* W.. Well, Master Frodo, would it be alright if she came with us to Bree? Are we going to be safe..? *looks at Rose sadly* I don't want to leave you behind, Rosie...
<<--can she come??-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*barges in where Theoden and Wormtongue are* What are you talking about? Of course there are forces building up! They are all around our borders...those foul things from Mordor! *bows in front of Theoden* My Lord, I'm asking for your permission to go out and protect The Mark from them! Who knows what they want. They might even want our horses! *glares at Wormtongue* I think you were mistaken, weren't you?
<<--don't listen to that foulness!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 Oh dear, this isn't good Pip. *chews on some mushroom as Sam and Rose have a face off* Not good at all. *looks at Frodo* Would it be such a bad thing if Rose came with us? I mean we are just traveling to Bree...
<<--aww...let Rose come!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 It is always a pleasure to see you fair Galadriel. We shall talk in my planning room. *smiles and starts to show them the way* I figured it wasn't good news. Galadriel rarely leaves the Golden Wood. I wish times weren't like this... *walks up some stairs and enters a room with a long wooden table and chairs. sits in one of them* Now then, what do you wish to tell me?
<<--what news do you have?-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*goes outside and over to the stables. saddles her favorite steed and hops on. smiles at the stable boy and rides out.* I shall not go too far. Only a little ways, I need the fresh air. *gallops off*
<<--out for a ride-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*sighs as the last of the orcs are killed. looks at his elves* Good work. We didn't lose a single elf to those monsters. *looks and spits on one that's nearby. sees an elf who had joined his troop, whispering to another one. both look upset.* You! Come here! What is it? *hears that Galadriel has left the Golden Wood and is heading for Rivendell. grumbles* You four there! Go after her! Make sure she arrives safely!!!! GO!!!! *sighs* why did you leave?
<<--hope Galadriel's okay-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*smiles at Elrond* I don't have to have an ocassion to visit an old friend, do I? *sighs* However, I'm afraid that my sudden visit isn't for pleasure. I need to talk with you, old friend, privately. There is much I need to tell you.
<<--I have bad news-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*gapes at sam for a moment. recovers and stomps over to him* If you think you're getting away from ME that easily Mr. Samwise Gamgee, then you are sadly mistaken. I will NOT be so easily put off like this. Where you go, I shall go too!
<<--so there!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 Where iss that nassty creature. Waaasss ittt a mistake to let it goooo? I'mm hungry now.... *peers over the edge and smells human* Man flesh...how I love it!! I sshall gooo and feasttt! *starts to crawl out of her hole*
<<--drool, man flesh!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*gallops his horse and follows Aragorn's lead* Swiftest way to Bree. Well that is good news! *looks over at Elladan* Perhaps after we get this journey done, we could go back to father.
<<--riding on!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 You're right Bilbo. *pats the man on his arm* I'm sorry for being so rough earlier. Come, let us bury the poor fellow.
<<--this is indeed a sad thing-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*marches around angrily* Where are those orcs I sent?? They should have been back here by now!! *spits on the ground and grabs a random orc by the neck* You there! Go into the woods and tell me what happened to the other orcs!!! Then report back to me!! *drops him and smacks him across the head* HURRY UP!
<<--grr..stupid orcs of mine!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
Please Tom, I don't want to leave your side! *gives a small smile to Treebeard* I thank you for your kind and gracious offer, old wise ent. *looks back at Tom* But I would rather go with you dearest.
<<--don't leave me dear!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*releases the orcs and stares at Tom for a long moment* Alas, I do not know what kind of protection Fanghorn may provide your lady. The ents have long been still, and it may be hard to raise them again. But I give you my word, o hasty one, to protect the lady Goldberry.
<<--hruuum hoom...-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
#1- *struggles to his feet and stumbles after Gandalf, quickly slamming the door shut behind him* Mithrandir! I only have one horse out there... did you arrive on one? If not, you can ride mine. I'll manage to keep up. Somehow...
<<--RUNNING!!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
#2 *stares at the city of Rivendell* It's been such a long time since I've left the Golden wood... I had forgotten how beautiful this city is as well. Of course, it's nothing like Lothlorien, but nothing could be. Still... I'm glad the Lady chose me to come with her!
<<--lost in his own thoughts-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*fights against the disgust building at Gollum's reaction* You have crossed into the lands of Gondor! The penalty for this is death! .... But I do not needlessly take life. Be SILENT! *draws his sword and threatens to behead the sniveling wreck* Cease your tears and state your business. Your life hangs in the balance.
<<--Good job, men!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*shrieks horribly* AHHH!! It has us, it does! Noooo!! We doesn't... we doesn't mean any harm!! *goes limp in the man's grasp, sobbing horribly* We was lost, tortured we was we was... poor Gollum... Gollum just wanted to go home, we did we did... and now the nice men, the WONDERFUL men... they has us, they does, and they thinks us bad, they does, but the smart men, they mistakes, they does!
<<--*SOB*-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*smiles gratefully at Legolas* Would you please see that Rosie gets back to the Shire safely? I would be in your debt, oh honorable elf. *looks at Rose* I can't leave Master Frodo, Rosie. You'll be safe at the Shire, I promise. *smiles at her and starts to walk away*
<<--Goodbye...-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*sees the plight the elf is in. grabs his staff where Saruman had dropped it in his fight with the elf. shoots it at Saruman temporarily pinning him against the wall. looks at the startled elf.* MOVE IT!!! *heads for the door*
<<--let's go!!!!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*turns from Sam and looks hard at Frodo, deciding...finally bows slightly at Rose* I would be honored to escort the young lady back to the shire, Mr. Underhill . That is if she would want to accompany me. Good luck with your mission Frodo Baggins, I do not envy you!
<<--you don't fool me hobbit-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*heart softens upon seeing the grieving man. gently puts a hand on his shoulder* Your uncle sounds like a man that I would have like to have known. I know we could have become friends. *smiles weakly at the man* Come on. Let's give him a decent burial. *looks at the dwarf* That's the least we can do.
<<--i can't stand to see a grown man cry-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*stares at the dwarf and suddenly drops to his knees, sobbing.* My uncle was a good man. Kind to everyone. He wasn't rich. He didn't have any money on him. What kind of monster would have done such a thing?
<<--overcomed with grief-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*is torn between running to his uncle and staying on his mission. sighs.* Legolas, isn't it? I am trusting Bilbo's care in your very capable hands. I know if he is with you, that he will get to Rivendell safely. *looks at the other hobbits* It is VITAL that we continue on our way to Bree. We do have an appointment to keep. *looks kindly at Rose and Sam* I'm afraid that our journey may be a perilous one. Sam, ymaybe you should go back to the Shire with Rose or maybe Legolas will escort Rose partially back?
<<--Sam, are you leaving me???-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
#4*smiles, draws his sword and sneaks around the bushes. while Gollum is watching the other two holler, reaches out and grabs him by his arm.*
<<--ah ha!!!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
#6*smiles and follows *5's lead* That's RIGHT!!! You sniveling excuse for a man!!! Get down off your horse and I will PROVE just how much of a coward you are!!!
<<--move it guys!! capture that thing!!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
#5*knows what his captain wants. looks at his partner who also knows. gallops his right in front of the bushes the shadow is lurking* Hold there! *he hollers at his partner* So you think I'm a coward? And you dare to call me this in front of Faramir, our lord??
<<--more distraction-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
#2 I know that look, the captain wants me and #4 to capture whatever that shadow is. *silently dismounts* have a stout heart man! *equally silently, draws his sword.* you can do this! Faramir, my lord, i will NOT fail you!
<<--still gathering courage-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
#1*hears Faramir and looks. sees the shadow. motions to two men to dismount. looks at the fouth and fifth man and nods.* Ah my lord, *he says loudly to Faramir while the other men quietly move* My heart is also gladden that this supply tower is okay. I was worried there for a minute.
<<--creating a distraction-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*roars at the elf* How dare you intrude into my home? *waves his staff and throws the poor elf up against the wall while knocking his bow and arrow from his hands.* I will teach you to mess with ME!!!! *shoots bolts of magic at the poor elf, keeping him pinned against the wall*
<<--take that!!!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*stares blankly at the three dead orcs in Treebeard's roots.* Ummm, *rushes to Goldberry and gently turns her head away from the gruesome sight. looks back at Treebeard.* We know that these are frightening times and are grateful for your hospitality...I, myself, has encountered a demon. A demon most foul, blacker than the night and rides a beast from the underworld. I fear for Goldberry. I wish for her to stay under your protection. I must travel on. I must seek the elves. They will know how to fight this new threat.
<<--i'm sorry dear, but i must leave you-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*smirks slightly before putting on his serious face* Ah, my lord, I don't think that's wise to send Eomer to Mordor. Why, my lord, I have ridden close to the gates of Mordor and haven't noticed anything really amiss. Yes there is some slight disagreements between the forces of Mordor, but my lord, they are internal squabbles within themselves. We have nothing to worry about. I think whoever has been advising you in my absence has been exaggerating; maybe for their OWN personal gain, my lord??
<<--evil....EVIL-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
Biblo! Wow!! That is great news eh..F..ur..Mr. Underhill! Can you imagine it? We almost ran into him. *eats a bit of a mushroom he found* Say, Sam, how is Rose? *sees her looking scared* Don't worry Rose, that monster is gone. Are you hungry? *offers her a mushroom* Legolas is it? Funny how you are going to Rivendell..we are going to Bree! *smiles at Merry* And were just going on our way when that thing came around. Awful it was. Mmmm, this is a good mushroom!
<<--doesn't know when to shutup!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*speaks very gruffly* I SIR, have not killed your uncle! Just as the hobbit said, he was killed by an orc. We were going to bury him. I am NOT a murder!! *clenches his axe and walks right up to the man* I'm sorry he is dead, but take my word for it. I didn't kill him. And DWARFS never lie!!
<<--you are trying my patience human!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*finishes putting Wormtongue's horse away and scowls* Even his beast is foul! *walks off and sees Eowyn looking upset* By the look on your face, I assume Wormtongue is talking to Theoden? *clenches his fist* I think I'll barge on this little conversation...he is so foul!
<<--Have I mention, I hate Wormtongue?-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*sees a couple of horses with elves on them* Well, this is unexpected. *walks over to the group* Ah, welcome to Rivendell, my lady. *bows* What is the occasion?
<<--why hello there Galadriel-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 Good job scout! As the dwarf says, there is nothing to worry about! *raises his sword and looks at the rest of his men* We are going to Rivendell!! *starts heading out once more*
<<--orcs or no orcs, we must be off!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*hears Faramir's commands against his life* Oh no! Vile humanses, they wants to take gollum's life.. .gollum... I must hide, yes, we must hide.. Oh! But we could give the lady, the cruel spider lady this man flesh, we could, we could... yes, we will lead them to her, we will we will...
<<--gollum-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
We have reached the supply tower. It appears to still be manned. That lightens my heart to see that we have not yet been overtaken on our own borders. *starts to enter the tower, when he sees the slinking shadow again* Stand to alert men! We should catch or kill that foul creature!
<<--I don't like it.-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 Go, my riders. Go to Isenguard. The wizard's usefullness has not been yet spent. However, I think perhaps he may need a... reminder of who his true master is. GO!
<<--Away with you!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
Bilbo!! *looks up at Legolas in surprise* Of course we know him! He's nearby? Could you show us where? Oh... er.. *looks over at Frodo* If that's okay with you, Mr. er... Underhill.
<<--don't wanna make desicions for you or anything...-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
#1 *hears all kinds of things going on up in the tower* Oh no! I don't like the sound of that.. *runs up through the tower, finally reaching the wizard's room* Mithrandir!! Sauruman!! *pulls out his bow and arrow, pointing at Sauruman* What is the meaning of this?
<<--which one should I be pointing this at, anyway?-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*shoots roots up from the ground and strangles all three orcs* YOU CANNOT MESS WITH THE MIGHT OF FANGHORN!! *notices another person walking throught the forest, and stands before them* What's this? Tom Bomadil! Goldberry! These are harsh times you come in, my friends.
<<--but welcome, just the same.-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*sighs wearily* Ah, Grima Wormtongue... It seems that there is no rest for an old man like me. There is darkness gathering in Mordor, Grima. The likes of which have not been seen for a long time. What should I do? I think I should send Eomer to Gondor for a counsel there. What say you?
<<--tell me!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*is horrified at Saruman's attack. tries to defend himself but the other wizard caught him off guard. falls to the wizard's attack.*
<<--you got me saruman-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
#3-2 *snickers at his companion's remark to Orc #3. but stops when seeing Treebeard! ROARS and charges, swinging his might axe.*
<<--ain't scared of no tree-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
#3-1*Mutters and follows Orc #3* What'ssssss the matterrr??? *it hisses nastiedly* scared?????
OOC: The 3-1 means the first orc that's with number 3 orc.
<<--oh goodie i get to kill more trees!!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
#3 *glowers as he grungly obeys. grabs two of the other orcs to come with him muttering darkly* Expects me to fight trees that walk???
<<--this can't be good-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*stares wide-eyed at the Dwarf* Oh I believe that the little man didn't kill my uncle. *glares* And I also believe that YOU killed my uncle. Look at your own axe! I see blood stains! My uncle's blood!!! MURDER!!!!!
<<--you fiend-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*looks kindly at the hobbits* Forgive me, my name is Legolas and I'm an elf from Mirkwood. I'm traveling to Rivendell to meet with Elrond. The other hobbit I am traveling with is also from the Shire. His name is Bilbo. Do you know him?
<<--being polite-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*scowls at Orc #3* What? What tree? *sees Treebeard walking* What are you sniveling there for? Go and kill it!! *kicks Orc #3* Stupid trees. I hate them!
<<--Kill them all!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
Hmmm that is odd...I mean what other hobbits...*looks over at Rose and Sam* Well Rose was traveling...oh dear. So what type of Elf are you anyway?
<<--just jabbering-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
What are you talking about HUMAN? *comes out of his hiding spot and wields his axe* You should listen what this hobbit says!! *stands protectively in front of Bilbo*
<<--stupid human-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
Ah, yes, Treebeard! I haven't seen him in a long, long time! I hope all is well with him. *notices Tom looks a little distressed* What is wrong? Are you alright?
<<--a little worried-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*looks at legolas in alarm* Did you say more hobbits leaving the shire?? *thinks about Bilbo* Tell me good elf, have you met more hobbits on this road?????
<<--have you seen MY uncle????-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*smiffles* Oh Sam!!! *hugs him tightly* Let's go home!!! It's not right for hobbits to leave the shire!
<<--i wanna go home!!!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*smiles at the hobbits.* I heard the screams and came running. *looks at Frodo* So you're traveling to Bree? More traveling hobbits??? I thought hobbits didn't travel. These are strange times indeed.
<<--hobbits leaving the shire????-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*slowly raises to his feet.* My good sir, *quietly says while looking cautiously at the upset human* I did not kill your uncle. I am a hobbit and hobbits are peaceful creatures. We don't go about the countryside killing people. This dwarf, *points to the dwarf* is my friend. He too, didn't kill your uncle. *looks back at the headless body* Something very, very evil killed your uncle. I think it was a demon! *sees the disbelief in the human's eyes* I SAW IT!!! It was dresses all in black and rode an equally black steed. It was the one who killed your uncle! Look at us! Do we even have weapon that could do such a terrible deed?? NO! We couldn't have killed your uncle. *notices that the human looks at the dwarf's axe.*
<<--uh oh-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*goes over to where Bilbo and the dwarf are hiding.* Come out you demons!!!! Why have you killed my uncle????
<<--devil dogs!!!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
#3*after seeing orc #2 lose his head, turns and starts chopping a tree as fast as he can.* i hope ugulk doesn't chop my head off! *after cutting down two trees, dares to peek at his leader. sees a huge powerful tree walking towards them. eyes widen. walks over to ugulk.* Uh...siiirrrr???? Thereeeeee'sssssss aaa treeeee that'sssss approaching usssss from over thereeeeee. *points at Treebeard*
<<--a walking tree?-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
I cannot let you leave, old friend. *raises his staff* If you are not with us, then you are against us!!! *powers up and shoots his staff at Gandalf knocking the startled wizard accross the room* DIE GANDALF!!!!
<<--we fight!!!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
Ah chin up my love! We are now entering Treebeard's realm!!! *smiles at Goldberry.* We can now take the path. *turns back around.* why do i still feel uneasy??? surely we are safe here in Fanghorn?
<<--looking for Treebeard-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*bows low as Eowyn passes him by. looks longingly as she leaves the room. notices that everyone is watching him. straightens back up and goes over to Theoden.* Ah your magesty, *he smiling pleasantly* it's so good to see you up and about. It makes my heart soar to see you in such good spirits although I am saddened by your ashen complexion and your sunken eyes. Are you getting enough rest??? *glares around the room* I hope that no one has been burdening you!!! *whispers in his ear* Your heart, your magesty, you must rest. You're not a young man anymore.
<<--evil...evil....EVIL-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
Oh, Rosie! It's okay, it's okay! You're safe now! I don't know what that thing was, but it's gone! It's gone! *hugs her tightly* Don't you worry! Old Samwise will make sure nothing else happens to you!
<<--I promise!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
#3: *mounts his horse* Yes, my lady. We should reach Rivendell in a short time on these horses. They are worthy beasts.
<<--following the lady of the wood...-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
Yes, let's be off. *starts his horse to a gallop* I had not expected company on this journey. I must say, I am glad of it. I know the swiftest way to Bree, so it should only take a few days to reach it.
<<--ride, ride!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*cringes as Wormtongue comes into the room where she and her father are.* Yick! That man turns my stomach! *puts on a fake smile.* Welcome back WormTongue. *turns to her father.* I will leave you men alone. *turns and leaves the room*
<<--ewwwww-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*already knows that the footsteps belonged to a pack of orcs and trolls before they even appear. scowls and holds his bow steady. let's arrows fly as the evil pack appears*
<<--you come here, you die-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*talks with one of the great horses of her woods. turns to her escorts* They are willing to take us to Rivendell. They promise to run as fast as the wind. *smiles at the elves and mounts her steed. waits until they mount theirs* Let's be off then. Time runs short.
<<--riding like the wind-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
I cannot believe what you're saying!!! Surely you must be joking. You cannot be talking about joining forces with Sauron? But your...your...*anger flares* Well I won't let you and that evil thing win!!! I will fight you! *turns to leave*
<<--i've had enough of you!!!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*goes over to Legolas* I'm glad that you showed up and scared that creature off. My name is Fro....um, Mr. Underhill. We're on our way to Bree.
<<--hi-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*clings tightly to Sam sobbing uncontrollably. after a few minutes is able to choke out* Oh Sam!!! What was that thing?
<<--whaaaa-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 Well that girl has ran off. Oh well. I won't leave the shire! *walks back across the Brandywine Bridge* I don't like the color of the sky...it's a little dark. *hears a scream far away* What was that?
<<--good-bye Rose!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
I see. *smiles at Aragorn and looks at the sky* Well then, let us be off. According to Father, Mithrandir is supposed to meet a band of hobbits in the Prancing Pony Inn in Bree. It is far from here, but if we travel swifty, we should be there in a few days.
<<--good, you were looking for him!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 Orcs and Trolls from here to Rivendell you say? *pats Gimli and looks up at Boromir* Well, that is interesting. I think it might interest you that my son and I are excellent Orc killers, so you have nothing to worry about. Let us be on our way. We have wasted to much time here!
<<--we dwarfs aren't afraid of Orcs!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
Oh my! That was dreadfully frightening eh? *looks up at Legolas* I do say! You are the first elf I've ever met! *smiles and walks over to Frodo* Frodo? Are you alright? I'm afraid...*looks over in Sam's direction* Rose might not be...
<<--phew! That was close!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*had moved in front of Frodo protectively. Sees the rider and his horse vanish, and rushes forward to Rose* ROSIE! Are you alright?? *dashes around Legolas and holds Rose*
<<--oh no!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
... All these vile creatures have been slain. *sheaths his sword and wipes his brow* I thank you for your assitance. I do wonder what their purpose so close to your city was, though. *smiles at Arwen* It seems our parting wasn't as long as you thought it would be. *looks to Elrohir* Mithrandir, you say? I was actually on a path to meet with Gandalf when I was intercepted by those beasts.
<<--what's up?-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 *flings Rose at Legolas and looks directly at Frodo* Ssssss.... *stands there, sniffing, seeming unaffected by the arrow Legolas put into him- Hears the summons from Sauron for any particular Nazgul and swiftly seems to vanish into the nothingness*
<<--gone!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
hroom hum! Perhaps there is not time for an entmoot. There will be nothing left to protect if we don't be hasty! *straightens up* I will do something about the orcs. *starts stiffly walking towards the destruction of the trees*
<<--ticked off-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*stares in shock as Sam leaves his hiding spot. barely hears Merry but sees him joining Sam* Oh no! This is terrible. We don't even have any weapons! *picks up a large rock and joins Sam.*
<<--hobbits are revealed-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*swiftly shoots arrows at the black rider hoping that it'll drop the screaming hobbit. eyes grow huge when sees more hobbits appearing from the bushes* what are they doing out here?
<<--yikes! more hobbits-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
gently pats the poor dillusional dwarf's arm* it's okay *he whispers to the dwarf* i don't think that human has seen us. you must get your wits about you. i think that human thinks it was us who killed his uncle.
<<--you need to get yourself together-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
#3 *bows slightly at Boromir* Bad news I'm afraid my lord. There seems to be a huge band of orcs, trolls, and other evil creatures lurking about between here and Rivendell.
<<--hobgoblins!!!!!!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
takes the bags from Goldberry* Let's not daddle, my dear. *hurries onto the path to Fanghorn. after a bit, decides not to take the well-known path.* Um, Goldberry? I know that this way is more rugged for someone as delicate as you but I fear that it isn't a good idea for us to be out in the open like this. *starts again but quickly turns back around* Another thing, my love, is that we should travel as quietly as possible. There's much evil afoot.
<<--shhhhhh-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*sees a person come out of the woods* Halt!! Who goes there? *sees who it is and sighs* It is ok, Gimli. This is my scout. I sent him off to check for Orcs. *turns to the scout* So did you see anything?
<<--I sent out scouts...-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*watches in shock as Sam hops out to help Rose* He..he..didn't...did he? I got to go and help him! *tries to get up but is too frighten to move* What is wrong with me? If I don't help him...Sam and Rose will... *gulps and gets up* Sa..*sees an elf in front of him* An..elf..?
<<--SAM!!!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
I only have this axe, and I'm afraid it won't be much help. *looks at Legolas* If we don't have anything, I suggest we look for a stick or something to dig a hole. I would feel bad about leaving him here like this.
<<--I only have an axe I'm afraid..-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*paces around in the great halls in Rivendell* I hate this waiting. I hope my sons have found Aragorn. *hears something in the woods* What is that? *goes to look*
<<--off to investigate-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*flies into the tower of Bharad-dur and replies to Sauron's summons* You called me, my master? I shall do as you bid.
<<--yessss?-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*jumps out from hiding at the sound of Rose's screams* ROSIE!! *rushes forward when an elf jumps before him* !!! An ELF!! *stands perfectly still, in awe of the creature before him*
<<--elf....-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
#2: *crouches beside Celeborn, his arrow in hand* Whatever it is that is approacing, it is coming from that way. It'll be here in a few moments... *grips his bow tighter* I will not fail the Lord Celeborn!!
<<--ready to fight!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
#1: *siiiigh* I wish Gandalf would show up soon. I don't really want to lurk around outside Isenguard forever. *strains his ears for any sound of Gandalf approaching, but hears his voice from inside the tower* Gaaah! He's already inside! NOW what do I do? *swallows nervously and knocks on the front door*
<<--what else could I do?-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*hears quite a lot of heavy footsteps where he's at, near the south end of the border* Elves! Get Ready! *leaps soundless into the trees. the footsteps come closer*
<<--get ready to kill-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
#2 why am i so frightened? i'm acting like a little girl! *puts on a fake smile* i cannot disappoint my lord faramir! if he sees that i am afraid... *shakes his head* no! i am not afraid. all we're doing is checking the status of the tower and then we'll return. i can managed that. *unconsciously puts his hand on the hilt of his sword* what kind of evil is this that grasps a man's heart with the cold grip of terror?
<<--i am NOT afraid!!!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
#1"Yes my lord" *turns to the others* Get ready men. Remember faint heart never won the fair lady. *grins*
<<--trying to get their courage up.-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*feels all is not well. is drawn to the river. can't shake the feeling of pending doom. walks over to two of the elves.* You there! Get ready and escort me! I cannot sit around and wait any longer! I must travel to Rivendell.
<<--i must get moving-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*thinks he hears screaming in the distance but decides it's only a bird. see the elf fly by him, totally ignoring his presence.* humpf, elves are pretty rude. *sees where the hobbit and dwarf jumped into the bushes.* what's the matter with them? *walks over and notices the body. eyes grow big* What?? That looks like uncle's garb...*sees the head* UNCLE!!!! Why that murderous hobbit, dwarf and elf!!! THEY'VE KILL MY UNCLE!!!!
<<--how could you???-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*hears the screaming with his elfin ears.* Hide *he says to both Bilbo and the dwarf. runs off in the direction of the screams, hands on his bow*
<<--i hear screaming!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*finally finds her voice when the dark rider sniffs her. starts screaming at the top of her lungs*
<<--AAAAIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*eyes widen when seeing Gandalf covering the pilantir.* No you fool! *quickly uncovers it. sees Gandalf's confused expression* I have joined forces with Sauron. *mistakes Gandalf's expression as one of interest* Yes, it is true my friend. Sauron is back and he's more powerful than ever! There's no point in fighting him, my friend. You will lose. Why not join the side of the winning forces? You will be handsomely rewarded.
<<--join us-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
Stand down our forces to Mordor? Even when Mordor is threatening us? Are you suggesting we should lay down and die for them? I think not. You shall have a hard time convincing Theoden of this. *snorts and walks back into the throne room* Sire, Wormtongue has returned. *bows, and looks suspiciously at Wormtongue* I don't like that look in his eyes...
<<--The Mark of Rohan will not stand down!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
Alright, alright! I am done dear! Let us part now! *rushes out of the house and into the woods* Goodbye dear home...you shall be missed, but we shall return soon.
<<--and we are off!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
I agree with my Brother. *shoots some more Orcs with his arrows* Come, we must leave and find Mithrandir. This is what our father asks.
<<--just killing orcs here.-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*shoots an arrow into the neck of the troll, and rides beside Aragorn* It would seem you have stumbled into some trouble, friend. *shoots into the increasing fray of orcs* It is troubling there are so many so near to our precious city!
<<--what's up with THAT?-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
 *grins and lurches at Aragorn from behind* I shall kill him, and so I shall get the meal!!
<<--sneaky-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*feels a twinge of irratation* So Sauruman would deny me? That insolent wizard shall pay dearly for this. I hadn't expected him to become a traitor so soon. No matter. I have someone who could just as easily fill his place in Isenguard. *summons one of the Nazgul*
<<--he shall be dealt with!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*sees a slinking black shape not far off* Now what could that be? More devilry from Mordor? We are only miles from it, after all... Men! Be on guard. There are evil creatures afoot. But we must go and see to the condition of the supply tower before we head back to the saftey of the city.
<<--oye...-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*hears something in the bushes a little further down the road. Stands up, right beside the hobbits, and walks down the road. Reaches down, and picks up a certain Rose by the collar of her dress* Sssssshiiiiiiiiire! *hisses at her and sniffs her deeply* Baggins... where are they?
<<--picked a rose!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*walking down the road when suddenly seized by fear* what's the matter with you? why are you so scared? stops and peers up the road but doesn't see anything.* you're just being silly *takes a few more steps when sees a flash of something dark up ahead. dives into the bushes*
<<--oh, i'm scared-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
No, *harshly whispers* Pippin, Merry! We don't have time to pick mushrooms. *snaps his head.* the evil has seen us! quickly, follow Sam and hide. Shhhhhhh
<<--hide guys!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
Hurry Goldberry *he says as he impatiently watches her pack* No, put that down, we don't have time to pack everything. Come on dear, we must hurry. *takes a sack and goes into the kitchen throwing everything edible in it* Come on dear. We must leave NOW.
<<--let's go...let's go-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
I don't report to you Eomer. I only report to your uncle. *grins wickedly* But I will say that I see no reason to fight. We should stand down our forces. That is what I plan on tell your uncle.
<<--the evil has returned-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*sees an elf, a hobbit and a dwarf huddled together* This is turning out to be a very strange day indeed! First hobbits, now a dwarf and an ELF?? hmmmm *heads over to the trio.
<<--have you seen my uncle?-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*notices her brother's expression at the mentioning of Wormtongue's return. watches silently as he leaves to meet him. looks at her uncle who looks mildly pleased.* Uncle? What is the matter? Is it Wormtongue? I don't like him you know. You are very strong, uncle. You don't need his counsel. It is your people who needs your wisedom. *sighs* Wormtongue makes me nervous
<<--i dont' like wormtongue-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*looks at the headless human and sighs* Yes, you're right. We should bury him. *looks around* But unfortunately, i have nothing to dig a hole with. Do you?
<<--trying to be respectful-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
Bah! I cannot wait all day! *leaves the room and searches for Saruman. finds him in another room.* the pilantir! Saruman! Quick, cover the pilantir! It is Sauron's eye. *goes over and covers the pilantir*
<<--impatient-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
Silence you fools! *shoves Pippin in front of him and dives low to the ground* There's something mighty evil afoot back there.... I'm scared!
<<--did it see us?-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*swings his sword around, beheadding orc#5, and ducks the blow from orc#4* If it is man-flesh you beasts desire, you'll find it not here! *stabs another orc in the throat and brings his horse around to face the rest of the nasty creatures of darkness*
<<--fighting orcs!!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*stops on the road the hobbits just left and sniffs the air* The ring... it is near... *gets off the horse and crawls towards the four hobbits* Baggins... ring....
<<--gonna find them!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
Well this is a good reason to get off the road awhile!! Yumm!! It is getting time for thirdeses anyway. *grabs some mushrooms* Hey Frodo, Sam...there is plenty! Want some? *sees Frodo looking pale* Frodo? *hears a noise* What is that?
<<--I hear something, but yum, mushrooms!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*looks at Frodo with huge eyes* What? Get off the road? But how are we going to find Bree, if we don't follow the road? *shakes his head and looks at Pippin* I guess we should...Why is Frodo so scared looking? *walks off the road and goes into a bush* Oh look Pip!! Mushrooms!
<<--don't know why we have to get off the road, but we will...-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
Really? You are heading to Rivendell? So are we. I guess the more the merrier eh? Well let us go then, Boromir. *walks into the woods and stops* Wait! I hear something...
<<--what is it now?-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
#1 *watches the sadness in Faramir's eyes* He is worried. *follows Faramir's gaze at the darkening sky* I would feel better if there were more men with us. But I mustn't let Faramir know I'm worried too. He can worry for all of us. *takes a deep breath* I'm ready!
<<--gathering courage-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*watches with great sorrow as her husband leaves with the other elves.* I have a horrible feeling that I may never see him again. *chokes back tears* Be careful my love! Hurry back!
<<--i won't believe it!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*senses great evil near his borders. goes to his elves* Double our forces along our borders. Evil is afoot. *goes to Galadriel* I must go along with the elves. They need me. Stay here and wait for my return.*
<<--on guard duty-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*smiles and follows the hobbit and dwarf, senses alert. looks grim as they go near the beheaded human.* Do you think we should do something? I don't think it's right to just leave him like that.
<<--should we bury him?-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*Smiles at the human* No, I haven't seen anyone else other than a hobbit just outside of the Shire. So you've seen four other hobbits?? Good! Then Sam isn't too far ahead I'm sorry about your uncle. I hope you find him. I would help you search for him, but I'm in a dreadful hurry. *smiles, curtsy and rushes off*
<<--i have to find sam-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*smiles at the hobbits* Thank you. If you see my Uncle, tell him to wait for me by the Marking Tree. He'll know what I'm talking about. *watches them leave. continues on his way. after a bit, runs into a female hobbit* Well, all my life I've never had the pleasure of running into your people and today...I have run into five! Good afternoon ma'am. Tell me, have you seen another human, an man that is a little bit older than I am? He's my uncle and I'm looking for him.
<<--wow! another hobbit!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*walks along the road when suddenly siezed by fear.* It's the ring! Something is wrong. It's like the ring is calling someone, IT'S master!! *feels an evil approaching. turns to the others* Quick! We must get off from the road! NOW!!!
<<--hurry, we must hide-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
Chop him into bits and we all can eat!
<<--a wise orc??-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
#4 He's mine! *goes after Aragorn with his huge axe*
<<--I want to eat him-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
#5Ahhhh,*he says to Aragorn* Manflesh! *draws his heavy sword and attacks.*
<<--yum!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*draws his sword as the orcs and trolls approach* It seems I shall have a delay before I reach Bree. But tell me, you vile servants of darkness! What brings you so close to the fair land of the elves?
<<--it's not natural!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
Yes, we promises! We promises!! *starts to try to crawl away from Shelob* Let us go! Please! We promised, we did! We promised!
<<--terrified-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*stares solemnly out at the darkened sky over Mordor* I can't believe this. Father has sent me out with a patrol right up to the borders of Gondor. Long has the evil seeped into our lands there. Yet he would have me go and survey the situation. *sighs* He doesn't even know that Boromir has gone to Rivendell yet. I hope nothing happens to my dear older brother... Alright men! *turns back to the five men he has coming with him* We must go!
<<--full of dread-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*reaches Isenguard at last* I see no sign of Mithrandir... *is troubled* Either he hasn't gotten here yet, or he's already inside. I guess I'll just have to wait here for a while.
<<--troubled-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
Yes, I heard the Orcs..but there is a troll too? No matter. *looks back at his brother* I'm sure the three of us can handle it. But Aragorn..? We must hurry to him. Sister, lead the way!
<<--let's help Aragorn!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
Oh Tom! I was so afraid...what? Go to Fangorn? Evil? *nods her head* I shall pack our things. But tell me, Tom, are you ok? I was worried...*shudders about thinking he could be hurt* I was so worried about you.
<<--thank goodness you are ok!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
*laughs lightly at Gloin's remark* Don't trust me? My dear dwarf, I give my word that we are not with the evil forces of Mordor! In fact we are heading to Rivendell to seek council on how to defeat them. *smiles at the dwarfs at their blank expressions* Perhaps you would like to accompany us?
<<--silly little man!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
Faster you rotting piles of vomit!! *walks over to Orc #2* So you don't enjoying chopping eh?? *grins evily and grabs his axe* I don't think you will enjoy death either...*wacks the orc's head off* Now the rest of you, work and no complaining!!! Or you will..*points his bloody axe to the now headless Orc...* lose your heads...heh, heh!!
<<--grrrr...no complaining!-->>
<<<<-----Middle Earth----->>>>
