2 Speak toLegolas (Show dialog)
'I thought I heard something high above us, Player, and I felt a shadow pass across my heart. I know this feeling. It was on the banks of the Anduin that I felled one of the flying beasts. It must have proved only an inconvenience for its terrible rider, for I know their number and all were seen on the Pelennor.
'The Nazgûl are flying above us, just out of sight. They watch the progress of Aragorn's host as it moves north toward Dagorlad. Gimli and I, and you, know of these creatures, but we know also that they can be fought. Not all of Aragorn's soldiers may believe this, and I fear that such feelings of dread as the Nazgûl inspire will grow in the breast of each man. Will their loyalty hold, or will the fear of Sauron's servants cause them to break ranks and flee as cowards?
'My father does not think highly of Man, but I have seen the courage they can wield. Will it be enough?'0/1
3 Speak toBregaras (Show dialog)
'There's something up there, watching us even now? I don't like the sound of that.'
Bregaras shudders and scans the sky for some sign of the Nazgûl, but can see nothing. He sighs heavily and shakes his head.
'At Faramir's instruction, his Rangers placed hidden caches of supplies throughout Ithilien. It seems to me that we should retrieve these supplies, for the time of the Rangers is surely coming to an end. If King Elessar finds victory or defeat at the Black Gate, there will be little need for such caches in the woodlands.
'Find the hidden supply caches east and north of Bâr Tarnaher and bring them back here, and we can distribute their contents among King Elessar's soldiers.'0/1

'The soldiers that came with us, Unréth of Rohan and Maegur of Gondor, well, they have become increasingly more and more troubled as the day wore on. I have given some thought to how I might ease their minds, but my skill is with axes, not with speech-craft!
'Perhaps you can do something to ease their worries, Player?'0/1
7.1) Speak toMaegur (Show dialog)
'I am no coward, Player, but I have to ask if there is any wisdom in this march to Mordor! I would serve King Elessar in all things and do whatever he commands, but I fear that he does not know what it is he asks of us!
'I thought his host was of a goodly size when we marched through Osgiliath, but now that we have crossed into the wild I see that it is smaller than I thought at first. It can be no match for the armies of Mordor!
'I will die for Gondor, if I must for Gondor to survive, but I do not want to lay down my life needlessly! If this march is folly, as I deem it to be, how can it be the King's command? How will six thousand fallen soldiers at the Black Gate save Gondor? It cannot! It cannot!'0/1
7.2) Speak toUnréth (Show dialog)
'Player, I am a man of Rohan and will do as Éomer King commands, but my resolve is tested with every step towards the Black Land of Mordor! Is it true that our commanders do not hope to achieve victory through battle? Why then must we throw our lives away?
'I would do anything for the Mark, and gladly, but would it not be better to take these soldiers and man a strong defence at Minas Tirith? There are strongholds in Rohan at which we could last for years if need be! I fought at the Hornburg, and am well-tested by the battle that was fought there.
'An unnatural dread seizes my heart, but there is more to this than fear! I cannot believe that Éomer King or King Elessar of Gondor would so easily throw their lives away, and ours with them. How can this be their choice, Player?'0/1
8 Speak toAragorn (Show dialog)
'What did you learn at Bâr Tarnaher, my friend?'
You tell Aragorn that the Nazgûl fly high above the clouds and out of sight, but they are keeping pace with the host. You tell him too that their fearful presence, and the nature of the mission itself, is having an effect upon his soldiers, sapping them of their courage.
'I have noticed this as well, Player. I cannot blame these men if their hearts quail at the thought of this painful mission. I will not willingly command them to throw their lives away for the merest of chances, though I know how important that chance may be.

'Thank you for your efforts, Player. I have given some thought to the problem of what to do if more men prove faint of heart as we approach Mordor. It will soon be put to the test, I think.
'Let us move forward along the road, north to the border of Dagorlad! We will establish a camp at the woods' edge, and make ready for the final leg of the march to Mordor.
'I will speak with you at our camp on the border of Dagorlad, when we arrive.'0/1
