Bestowal dialogue

"As he and the other Rangers prepared a trap for the Men of Harad at Cirith Negen, Mablung found his discussion with the Halflings loudly interrupted."

Background

As the Rangers led the Halflings through Ithilien, they spoke freely and prepared an ill-fated ambush for a company of Haradrim.

Objective 1

Mablung recalls standing at the Halflings' campsite.

Mablung is telling you more of the tale of the Halflings in Ithilien. You should listen closely.

'I spoke with the Halflings for a time, and they asked much about me and my brethren...'
Frodo Baggins says, "What are your names, and where are you from?"
Mablung says, "I am Mablung, and my companion is Damrod. We are Rangers of Ithilien."
Mablung says, "We are descended from a long line of folk who called these woods home, and Steward Denethor has charged us with its protection."
Mablung says, "We seldom roam this far within, but today we come to ambush the evil Men from Harad."
Damrod says, "Curse the Haradrim! They are under the sway of the Enemy. Alas, I fear that Gondor will fall."
Damrod says, "His strength and malice have grown great indeed, and there is little hope for Minas Tirith."
Mablung says, "But we do not sit idle. The Southrons march brazenly and heedlessly upon our own roads to swell the hosts of Mordor."
Mablung says, "They shall not pass unchallenged... not while Faramir leads our host."
Mablung says, "His life seems charmed, as if fate spares him for some greater end."
A Horn sounds in the distance
Samwise Gamgee says, "It sounds like the smithying of a thousand blacksmiths all together! This is as near as I should like them to get"
Damrod says, "They are coming! They have broken through the trap, and our Captain pursues!"

Mablung is telling you more of the tale of the Halflings in Ithilien. You should listen closely.

'A great trumpet sounded as a Mûmak rushed forth, and in madness it slew all caught in its path...'
Damrod says, "Mûmak! Mûmak! May the Valar save us and turn his path!"
Samwise Gamgee says, "An Oliphaunt! So they exist, and I have gotten to see one. What a tale!"
Samwise Gamgee says, "Well, no one shall believe me if I tell them."
Samwise Gamgee says, "Phew. If that’s all over and done, I think I’ll have a sleep."
Mablung says, "Sleep while you are able."
Mablung says, "If the Captain returns, he will want to depart swiftly. The Enemy will pursue us when the news reaches him."
Samwise Gamgee says, "Go quietly when you leave! No need to disturb me."
Mablung says, "I doubt the Captain will leave you unattended in the woods, Master Samwise, but we shall see."
'I remained with the Halflings as they slept and awaited my Captain's return.'
