'Fúni Gem-cutter has been working hard within, melting gold with which to fashion quality imitations of the ring borne by Aragorn our chieftain. Candaith, learned in lore as he is, described the ring to Fúni, and the dwarf has pledged that his reproductions will deceive all but the most studious observer.'1/1

'The work goes well, Player! Already some of the rings have been made, and they are identical to the description with which my father was provided. But the gold is running low! Very little gold is needed for each ring, of course, but my father can use only small quantities of the material when it is melted, or imperfections will arise.
'Bring more coffers of gold to me from where they are being stored!'1/1

'The ring-making is going well? Good. I gave the jewel-smith a description of the ring of Barahir as I remembered it, and if he has the skill he claims to have, his imitations should be suitable.
'Elrohir wanted me to send you to him, if you had a moment. He was contemplating our plans beneath a tree in the courtyard to the north of here, if you would speak with him.'1/1
5 Speak toElrohir (Show dialog)
'The crafting of the rings sought by Halbarad goes well, Player? Good. If these preparations give our enemies even the slightest pause, the time they take will be counted five and seven times in value.'
Elrohir pauses for a moment, thinking, and then takes you into his confidence.
'Before we left Imladris, my father gave to me messages for Aragorn, confident that he would understand them. But I too understand their meaning, and that understanding fills me with worry. He bade me to remind Aragorn of the words of the seer Malbeth, and of the Paths of the Dead. I will tell you of...'
Suddenly, a shout breaks the silence, and Elrohir leaps to his feet!1/1

9 Speak toHalbarad (Show dialog)
'According to Fúsi Gem-cutter, his father's work is going well and smoothly. With no more interruptions, I feel that we will soon see an end to this delay.'
Halbarad laughs softly, a sound that has been missing from the journey of the Grey Company, unnoticed until now.
'I say delay, but I feel better for having a secret held in reserve. Let our foes mill about in confusion, while the true heir of Isildur makes stealth his ally! It is good to be doing something.'1/1
