Gandalf the Grey asked you to walk with Frodo Baggins and to gauge his state-of-mind.

- 'Real adventures aren't the same, are they?'
Objective 2

- Frodo says, "Do you like being an adventurer?"
- Frodo says, "I used to wish I could have adventures, like Bilbo did!"
- Frodo says, "My own adventure wasn't like Bilbo's at all."

- Frodo says, "I am afraid for my friends. They love me too much to let me do this myself."

- Sam says, "There you are, Mr. Frodo! You shouldn't go off by yourself, you know."
- Sam: 'I'm sure you're a perfectly respectable <race>, but I'd just as soon you left Mr. Frodo alone. I don't mean no offense, but Mr. Frodo's gotten himself into trouble with strange folk before, if you take my meaning.'
- Frodo: 'I've always said that a nice walk in the night air will do wonders to clear one's head, and it seems that I was right - I feel much better now, <name>.
- 'I enjoyed our conversation. If I see you again, we'll have to have another.
- 'When I see you again, I mean.'
- Frodo: 'Thank you again for the walk, <name>. Maybe things are not quite so grim after all.'
