"Suilad Legolas!" she said breathlessly, as orcs came up on either side. She hewed at them with her sword, again and again, until there was enough clear to talk in piece. "I'm honoured to meet you and your wife Galadeth. Galadeth, you are bleeding, mellon nin. That needs healing." She drew her pouch of herbs and drew out some athelas. "It will stop any poison in that wound, and it should heal in a few days." She handed the herbs to Galadeth, then struck again on an orc making a run at them, knocking him away before pushing her boot onto his chest.
"Whom do you serve?"
"We serve only the Master of Isengard!" the orc spluttered, Simbelmyne's boot was stopping him breathing. She released him, kicking him away.
"You will command the orcs to leave us in peace, or you will feel the edge of my blade, and Legolas's also! You know of the tale of the War of the Ring - you know Sauron fell, and was triumphed over by a mere halfling! You know of Legolas too, one of the Three Hunters and the elf that accompanied Frodo. Go now, and leave us in peace! Your people have spilt blood enough tonight!"
She did not know what the orc would do in response to this, but she noticed a few of the yrch moving away into the shadow of the trees. She looked at Galadeth and Legolas.
"We must move. The Yrch will be back here by nightfall. We cannot stay here. Find Ethalinia and Meredith. We must get in the boats, and row. We may have to leave them further along the banks. Move swiftly! I will hold the last orcs off."

From her perch in the tree, Ethalinia saw that the battle was over. She jumped down and looked around, than headed towards the river.
Carelessly, she turned around a bend without looking first, only to be greeted by an Orc standing five feet away and taking aim at Ethalinia. She froze in her tracks, not knowing what to do, but before the orc could release the arrow, another arrow hit him in the back of the head, and he fell over, dead in an instant. Ethalinia ran forward to see who had shot the arrow, and found Galadeth and an elf who she didn't recognize.
"Hello" she said joining them, "are you alright?" she asked Galadeth, seeing her wound.

((OOC I just realised I didn't give a translation of Neneithel's last words. They were "My love, in accordance with my oath, I abandon you only in death."))

"Mere Hobbit Am I"Meredith said horrified
and rised his hand high over his head
His ring blazed silver and one by one the fleeing orcs were engulfed in a strange yellow mist
he watched them crash into each other and into trees as they fled
The last orcs disappeared into he trees as if the very hounds of Sauron were behind them
then he turned to the Rider "the orc lied" he announced "Isengard fell long ago it is no hole of darkness now "
"Saruman died in the shire At the hand of the wormtongue"He added "Who these orcs serve is a mystery"
Then he examined the newcomer for a legendary elven warrior he looked a little inexperianced

(((OOC: Meredith, I'm not sure myself whether the orc lied, but I had a thought that orcs and the last of the Uruk-Hai had now rebuilt it and were intent on taking Rohan. What do you reckon? (Besides, I said Master of Isengard to avoid having to think about who now resided in Isengard now Saruman was dead...)))
Turning to the orcs now on the far bank fleeing, she saw Meredith had sent them on their way. She gave a thankful smile to him, then pushed her boat into the water, before jumping into it and rowing. She beckoned the others to follow.
"We must move now!"

"Pleased to meet you" Ethalinia said to Legolas and bowed. "Where is everyone?" she asked.

(OOC Too many legendary people popping up here
Saurumans name was mentioned and LEGOLAS popped in
Now legolas left long ago for the undying lands and sauruman is a dead un
isengard is a fortress of the King at the time ths game is set (pretty sure of that) thats why I stated so firmly that sauruman was dead otherwise I fear half the fellowship (including some peoples ancestors) ay start jumping out of the bushes at me )

The hobbit with some difficulty dragged the dead orcs behind some trees where he searched them and and stacked thier bodies .
once all the bodies were stacked neatly he held up his hand and began to speak in sindarin"Hiro hyn hîdh ab 'wanath."
and ignited thier bodies with a flash of white fire .

As the party returned to their boats and pushed off from the shore their heard a sweet voice drifting upon the water and a fair elven maid came into view around the bend.
"Lais gladhar nu tail nín.
I hûl tôg hiniath o nen a galadh.
I aerlinn guil revia o laer bihen
Na 'riw tharn trî i vereth iavas.
I beleth aphada edlothiad
Dan minui tôl pathred iavas
A lalaith lais nu tail nín."
(Leaves laugh beneath my feet
The wind brings news from water and tree
The holy song of life flies from juicy summer
To sapless winter through the autumn feast
The withering follows blossoming,
But first comes the fullness of autumn
And laughter of the leaves beneath my feet.)
She draw up just behind the boats of the party
"Mae govannen (Well met) friends, what brings you to these parts?"
she asked

"meredith Thornbank of the shire at your service"

"Alas, apart from foul Orcs I have met no-one in days until now. This is truly a terrible land to journey in."
She replied
