'Thank you for rescuing me, Player. I intend no disrespect for any of the fine folk at my table, for they are all worthies of Gondor in their own ways... but some of them can be most tiring.

'Come with me, my helpful friend. I see the hobbits with whom I spoke right over there.'1/1

'What do you think, Pip? What would old Flourdumpling have to say about the courses on offer here? Oh yes, Merethien, I think this wedding-feast can stand quite comfortably alongside the very finest of Shire banquets!'1/1

'Player, it is my pleasure to introduce you to my wife Gilithel, and I believe you have already met our son Bergil. He was quite the trouble-maker in Minas Tirith, running through the lower tiers with his friends, and he has found new ways to cause mischief in Ithilien. But he is a good lad, and at his age I was much the same.

'I must confess to you I did not think I would be welcomed back to the city for the King's wedding, but word was sent to Lord Faramir, and we could not refuse.'1/1

'And so, with our horses refreshed, we crossed the Mering-stream and rode hard through the Beacon Hills. We were so close, but not yet close enough: we were beset by Orcs and Variags near Amon Dîn! We broke through the line of Variags, but they did not pursue us. I think now I know the reason: they knew the road ahead would be held against us!'

Thrymm pauses in his tale, seeming to see you for the first time.

'Oh, Player, pull up a seat! I was just telling these fine folk of Gondor about some of my recent adventures!'1/1

'One of the wine stewards came by earlier, before our friend from Rohan launched into his... full-throated... tales of bravery. This steward asked if we would do him the kindness of delivering you to him if you chanced to come by our table.

'He said he would be downstairs, Player. Now that I have executed this charge, perhaps I will learn what else my daughter would hear of the new king of Rohan, and why the speaking of his name brings such a blush to her cheeks....'1/1

'Ah, there you are, Player! I am pleased the Prince of Dol Amroth gave you my message, for it is urgent and I did not know where else I might turn. There is something of a problem, you see, and I need you to ensure it does not get any worse!

'Some rough sorts have gathered outside. I am afraid they might intend to disrupt the wedding-feast in some way. They were asking for you!

'Here, take these bottles of wine out to them. It could be that an offering of peace will send them happily on their way. And if not, well... your deeds are well-known, and such rough sorts as these may take one look at you and decide it would be best for them to go elsewhere!'1/1

'Who can say when we will all be once again together, Player? Each of us has business elsewhere: some in the north, some here in the south. It would have been a shame not to mark the occasion. Is that so unusual? We all feel a kinship with each other, borne of our shared duty; it is strange to me that we must now separate.

'Lothrandir wishes to return to Forochel, the land of the Snowmen, so I will travel with him part of the way with some others of the company. Techeron will reside once again in Evendim, but on the way we will pay a visit to Saeradan and learn the tale of his own return to Eriador with our fallen brothers. Idhrien and Langlas plan to stay for awhile at Esteldín with Mincham. Angwedh has not yet decided where he will travel, just that his road lies to the north. If he has a place in mind, he has not shared it with us; I think the wilderness calls to him.'

Radanir smirks at you.

'Do you know what calls to me? The food of the north-lands! The food at this feast is too richly-made, too covered in sauces, too soft, and there's too much of it. There isn't anything to sink your teeth into, Player. Give me the crusty bread and old cheese of the Forsaken Inn, a day's ride east of Bree... that is all I need.' (Show dialog)

'The Grey Company rode from Eriador to aid the chieftain of the Dúnedain, and now many of us will return to our homes; but not all. We all have our own reasons, for the king has not set a bond upon us that we do not choose for ourselves.

'But there remains the question: what shall be done about the land that lies on Gondor's doorstep? Mordor lies there, the Black Land, and who knows what sorceries of the Witch-king may lurk within the Morgul Vale. I will help my king to combat these evils, and so too will Dagoras, and Faeron, and Mithrendan.

'Others of the Grey Company may decide to do the same... but they must choose for themselves. We have done what we intended, but I wager that some may discover they wish to do more. Gondor awaits an era of peace... but it will not arrive without we who are willing to fight for it.'1/1

'I played my part as well as I could, Player! Were your friends able to surprise you?'

The wine steward glances at Thrymm Red-beard, whose long-winded description of past glories has shown no sign of cessation; indeed, he may have started anew.

'Perhaps you can go back upstairs and see if my services are needed? I am sure there must be a need for more wine... there simply must....'1/1

'I hope you are enjoying yourself, Player. I confess to you that much of tonight has passed by with dizzying speed, but it is a joyful motion and I would trade it for nothing else.

'Might I ask a favour of you? Earlier I spoke with Faramir about a matter of some importance, and I am interested to learn if he has come to a decision. Would you speak with him and determine if this be so?'1/1

15 Speak to (Show dialog)

'It is a pleasure to speak with you, my friend. I saw you earlier, when our Halfling friends ran by the table on their way to do some mischief... it was a spirited chase, and brought a smile to my lips; that has been rare enough in the days since... well, in the past few days.'

Faramir falls silent, and you take the opportunity to ask if he has considered the topic about which King Elessar inquired. Faramir studies you quietly.

'He told you not the subject of our discussion? He is more subtle than I expected, or perhaps it is the hand of his Queen that makes him so! Ah, Player, you are a friend, so I will speak freely.

'The king knows that my heart has been captured by the Lady Éowyn of Rohan. She returned to the Riddermark in the company of her brother while they prepare for the funeral of Théoden, and while she has been gone my heart has been in darkness! Ever she occupies my thoughts, and I know I will never again feel happiness or joy while we are apart. I dare not hope she feels the same, and would not! For I would wish her no unhappiness.'1/1

16 Speak to (Show dialog)

'Dear me! I am pleased that Prince Faramir has made up his mind, but to be completely honest with you, Player, I had not quite gotten around to the advice I intended to give to him!

'Still, all is well when it ends well... which it will, if Lady Éowyn agrees to his proposal. If she does not, I fear the reputation of hobbit-wisdom may suffer in Ithilien and Gondor! Oh dear!'1/1
