The Rangers of Ithilien scout the wood-lands for servants of the Enemy, striking from their hidden camp at Henneth Annûn. In this way, they can help clear the way for the Host of the West as it makes its way toward Mordor.
'From Henneth Annûn we have harried many a foe, passing like shadows through the Window of the Sunset and back again under cover of darkness. As you are a friend to the King and to Gondor, I say that you may see what you will of our secret retreat. Find the descending tunnel, the main cavern, and the look-out point.
'But I warn you! Do not set foot into the Forbidden Pool. That is an insult to us and we have never allowed it unpunished.'0/1

'Our journey through Ithilien has reassured me that it remains beautiful, but this sword cuts with both edges, for enemies can still lurk unseen among the pastoral beauty of this land. As the Rangers of Ithilien surprised their foes, so too can those foes seek to surprise us.
'Travel further ahead to the north-east, and look for signs of trouble. Golasdín tells me that there is a location to the north-east that might offer a good vantage point of the road ahead. Orndil, a Ranger of Ithilien, went to that location and might have seen something.'0/1

'Did you see that? I believe I saw movement over there, among the trees to the north-east. Let us make our way there and see if our eyes play tricks upon us, or if there is some foe lying in wait!
'That is the pass of Cirith Negen, and my people have long used it to surprise our foes. They may seek to turn the tables upon us, and use our own ambush spot against us!'0/1

'Thank you for the report, Player. I wondered if our foes would seek to mount a final resistance to our march, and it seems as if they will attempt it at Cirith Negen.
'The Rangers of Ithilien have spoken to me of that pass. They have often used it to surprise unwary foes, and it was there they recently ambushed a marching force accompanied by a fearsome Mûmak and drove the beast from the bonds of its handlers. The creature stampeded from Cirith Negen and away from the war, and now there is no whisper of it.
'Will the Orcs seek to do the same to the Host of the West? They cannot be allowed to succeed at this, Player.'0/1
