The march
The fellowship starts
- --The company leaves Rivendell, wanders past ruins, over mountains, through fields.--
- Gandalf:
- We must hold to this course west of the Misty Mountains for forty days. If our luck holds, the Gap of Rohan will still be open to us, and from there our road turns east toward Mordor.
- --They stop for lunch, Merry and Merry practice swordfighting with Boromir.--
- Boromir:
- Very good. Again!
- Gimli:
- If anyone were to ask my opinion, which I note they have not, I would say we're taking the long way around! Gandalf, we could go through the Mines of Moria. My cousin Balin would give us a royal welcome!
- Gandalf:
- No, Gimli, I would not take the road through Moria unless I had no other choice.
- Aragorn:
- Move your feet!
- Boromir:
- accidentally hurts Merry
- Merry:
- Ow!
- Boromir:
- Sorry!
- --Merry drops his sword, kicks Boromir in the shins and tackles him. Merry joins in, and the two of them wrestle Boromir to the ground. Legolas notices something on the horizon.--
- Sam:
- What's that?
- Gimli:
- It's nothing, just a wisp of cloud.
- Boromir:
- It's moving fast, against the wind.
- Legolas:
- Crebain from Dunland! Hide!
- Boromir:
- Merry!
- Aragorn:
- Frodo!
- Boromir:
- Pippin!
- Aragorn:
- Sam! Hide!
- All:
- hide under rocks
- Gandalf:
- Spies for Saruman. The passage south is being watched. We will have to go over the pass of Caradhras.
