The Ride to Rohan

[Enelya]

Enelya loks to Galadeth, with an assuring nod

"ideed, i trust your judgement"

[Galadeth Greenleaf]

"We can take both of the roads. Why don't we sent my uncle Rúmil with a group of men through the Path of the King and a group that comes with us? We can respond an attack this way if we are spotted..." Galadeth said.

[Shieldmaiden]

'In that way they cannot know our numbers and many of us might get through without being seen. It is a good plan.'

[Galadeth Greenleaf]

"Hannon le, mellon nin... we have to start setting everything then. Who is coming with me?" Galadeth said.

"I am going with you, thel nin... you will need my support..." Haldir said.

"Me too... nobody knows what will happen..." Orophin said.

"Well... somebody else?" Galadeth asked.

[Shieldmaiden]

'I will go where I am needed most. Whatever you would have me do.'

[Enelya]

it seems to be settled, when do we set out?

she checks her horse and saddle bags, making sure her sword is attached securely

[Galadeth Greenleaf]

"It is all settled now. Now we have to wait for Simbelmynë..." Galadeth said.

She was worried of the Nazgûl...

((OOC- Sim? Where are you?))

[Galadeth Greenleaf]

I was wondering the same...  

[Simbelmyne]

"If we split up...a company through the path of the king, a company through Fangorn to Helm's Deep, then onwards to Gondor, and a company to around Mirkwood to approach from the North...we will not be tracked from that part of the River. They expect us to play under their noses, nearer to Gondor. But if we send people from all approaches, we have a better chance. I do not fear death - I will take an open road, and travel swiftly to Gondor. Where will you place yourselves?"

(((OOC: Have been spending a lot of time modding the Inner Keep - haven't always got on to RP forum, sorry)))

"We will go to Minas Tirith, but we are going to pass through Ithilien first, I know the Elves would help us, and Faramir too..." Galadeth said.

"I agree with Galadeth, the Elves of Ithilien will help us for sure." Haldir said.

[Shieldmaiden]

'I would like to see Eowyn and go through Ithilien but if I am needed somewhere else I will go. Send me where you will, or my own heart might choose poorly'

[Enelya]

The lord of the Elves of Mirkwood would surely help he has faced the nazgúl and many orcs, and his hospitality is said to be great to those who oppose the dark creatures, but i will go were bidden or were i will be of most aid!

[Simbelmyne]

"Choose your own paths - there is no ill choice. I myself will take the road to Rivendell, then a straight route to Gondor. I will send what warriors I may receive to join you - I would not endanger their lives." She turned to Leodwyn.
"You remain in command of the company. Whether the day is dawnless, or the sun rises from behind the hills, you have my trust. Even in the darkest night, you have the strength to lead the company to dawn. Go swiftly, friends! I will see you at the gates of Minas Tirith, in seven days time. May the blessings of the Valar be upon you. Farewell!" She turned, ran to saddle Mithelen, and rode off into the sunset.

Two days later, she arrived at the gates of Rivendell.
"I am Simbelmyne, a Rider of Rohan - I was known to you once, I grew up here. I come with tidings from Gondor - the Haradrim are approaching. We need warriors - we know you have forsaken war for peace, but the elves are more skilled than any in battle with sword and bow. I must speak with Elladan, Elrohir and Celeborn."
A guard in dark green robes nodded.
"I will seek them now. I do not think they will deny you to speak with them."
He turned and left, walking into the great halls of Rivendell.

A few moments later, he returned.
"They will speak with you, if you will come. They await you in the Halls of Fire, and say that Rochwen will stable your mount. Her name is truthful indeed." A young woman in silver robes came forward to take Mithelen to the stables, muttering to the horse in elvish. The elf in dark green robes turned, beckoning her into the halls. She followed, handing the reins to Rochwen.

The three elves that stood before her looked weary and time-worn, one silver haired - Celeborn, she thought - and two identical, with dark hair and grey eyes lit with a light of stars.
"Have you been told of my tidings?"
Celeborn nodded. "We had counsel in the minutes it took to fetch you to us. We have decided - we can give you two thousand warriors and their horses. It is all we can afford, but we hope it is enough."
Simbelmyne nodded. "When battle is done, I will return. You have my thanks. Farewell."
Elladan - or was it Elrohir? - smiled. "They will be waiting outside by nightfall. If they die, it will be beside worthy companions and in honour. The men of Rohan and Gondor are honourable indeed. Sit now - a feast will follow - perhaps the last our men will have in a while."

It was night - Simbelmyne walked out of the halls and towards the stables. Many elves, men and women, stood there, armed. She saw the glint of the stars upon their swords and armour, and the glint in their eyes.
"Friends, we ride together for but a while. I am taking the straight road to Gondor, but I would not risk your lives. Split: some of our company go to Ithilien, some to Mirkwood. Choose your path carefully."
She swallowed.
"Let us ride."#noedit

[Galadeth Greenleaf]

Galadeth went with Haldir and their companions to make the settings.

"We will take 2.500 men through the Anduin River path. And the rest of the men will go through the Path of the King. We need more weapons. I have Healing Powers, but we need people to heal the wounded." Galadeth said.
