Anborn is telling you a tale of strange travellers in Ithilien. You should listen closely.
- I discovered only a smoldering fire, and none nearby to tend it...
- Anborn says, "Here is the source of the smoke! Whoever or whatever made this fire will be nigh at hand."
- Faramir says, "Search the ferns, and trap it. Then we will learn what manner of creature it is."
- Damrod says, "And whatever it knows!"
- It was then two small creatures leapt from the brush and raised their weapons against us!
- Mablung says, "What do we have here?"
- Anborn says, "These are not Orcs."
- Ranger of Ithilien says says, "Elves?"
- Faramir says says, "They cannot be Elves, for it is said that Elves are fair to look upon."
- Samwise Gamgee says, "Hmph. Not fair to look upon, indeed!"
- Samwise Gamgee says, "When you’re done, maybe you should say who YOU are, and why you won't let two weary travellers get some rest."
- Faramir says, "My name is Faramir, Captain of Gondor. Ithilien has no travellers: only servants of the Dark Tower or the White."
- Frodo Baggins says, "We are servants of neither. And though Captain Faramir says otherwise, travellers we are."
- Faramir says says, "Then declare yourself and your errand at once. This is no time for riddles. Where is the third member of your company?"
- Frodo Baggins says, "The third member?"
- Faramir says says, "You know the one. The skulking creature, some stealthy breed of Orc perhaps. He gave us the slip by some trickery."
- Frodo Baggins says, "He is only a chance companion we met along the road, so I cannot answer for his whereabouts."
- Frodo Baggins says, "But please spare him if you come upon him. He is only a wretched gangrel-creature under my care for a time."
- Frodo Baggins says, "As for us, we are simple hobbits from the Shire, a land far from here."
- Frodo Baggins says, "I am Frodo son of Drogo, and here is Samwise son of Hamfast, a hobbit in my service."
- Frodo Baggins says, "We have walked far, our path taking us from Rivendell."
- Frodo Baggins says, "We set out with seven companions: one fell in Moria, and the rest we left at Parth Galen."
- Frodo Baggins says, "Our company consisted of an Elf, a dwarf, two more of my kin, and two Men...."
- Frodo Baggins says, "...Aragorn the Ranger, and Boromir, who came from Minas Tirith."
- Ranger of Ithilien says, "Captain Boromir!"
- Ranger of Ithilien says, "Boromir!"
- Ranger of Ithilien says, "Captain Boromir!"
- Faramir says, "You came with Boromir, son of Denethor? That is strange news indeed, if true."
- Faramir says, "What had you to do with him? Speak swiftly!"
- Frodo Baggins says, "Is the riddle that Boromir brought to Rivendell known to you?"
- Frodo Baggins says, "Seek for the Sword that was Broken; in Imladris it dwells."
- Faramir says, "Yes, those words are known to us.’'
- Frodo Baggins says, "It is Aragorn who bears the Sword that was Broken. As for the Halflings in the rhyme: we are they."
- Faramir says, ""That is plain to see. But what is Isildur's Bane?"
- Frodo Baggins says, "That is hidden."
- Faramir says, "We must learn more of this, but now is not the time or place."
- Faramir says, "You were in great peril, and would have been caught in a hard battle had we not come upon you when we did."
- Faramir says, "Mablung and Damrod will guard you, for your own good and mine."
- Faramir says, "If I survive, I will speak more with you upon my return."
- Frodo Baggins says, "Farewell! Whatever you think, I swear that we are friends to all foes of the One Enemy."
- Frodo Baggins says, "If my errand allowed it, I would wish to go with you and serve you in your cause, if we could hope to be of help to such doughty Men."
- Frodo Baggins says, "Let the light shine ever on your swords!"
- Faramir says says, "Halflings are courteous folk indeed, whatever else they be. Farewell!"
- 'I will not soon forget those Halflings, for they were bold to give Faramir such cheek!'
- Anborn: 'That is all I have to tell for now, my friend.'
