Leafshade appears in no hurry to speak any further, so you ask about the Elf-bow in the centre of his glade.
'Hrum, hoom! That is the bow of my friend, Nestinanessornë! He left it here when he... went away.'
The Ent sighs heavily, the breeze of his exhalation rustling the leaves of the trees.
'There was a gathering of my folk some... what is the word your kind would use, hm? Months, hoom. Some months ago. On my return, I came across a dying creature suffering from a poisoned wound. He reminded me of an old friend, an Elf I once knew. Ah, Ferien. Hm, hoom. She lived among the beeches, and sang so beautifully. Hoom...'
Leafshade stands in silence, his story unfinished, and you wonder if you should prompt him to continue.0/1

'They sailed south until they disappeared... over the horizon...'
Leafshade's words rise in intensity until their booming shakes the branches of the trees of Strangdene.
'I hope you will... ensure Nestinanessornë is safe...'
Leafshade ceases his trumpeting, and quiet returns once again to Tumbamálë.
'He is... a friend...' he murmurs. 'So many others went away...'
You assure Leafshade that you will do what you can to help him, but the Ent says nothing more.0/1
4 Speak toKing Elessar (Show dialog)
'We have only just arrived at Lond Cirion, Player. Did you learn where the ships are bound?'
You tell Elessar that the Corsair ships left the river and sailed south until they disappeared over the horizon.
'So Nakási does make for Umbar. I was not certain that would be so. It seems she knows the value of her captive to the Kindred of the Coins. But something else troubles you, my friend. I can see it in your expression.'
You tell Elessar, more briefly than it was told to you, of Leafshade's account of the past few months. The King puts a comforting hand on your shoulder.
'Your friend Corudan lives, Player, but he is in need of rescue. As it happens, we were already planning such a mission, for young Thorongil must be freed from his imprisonment as well. I feel in my heart this is the way it must be: both of these captives are being brought to Umbar, the City of the Corsairs. A small party of adventurers might infiltrate the city and rescue Thorongil and Corudan where a larger group must surely fail. I want you to lead this small party, my friend. I know you are the right choice for this task, though it prove most dangerous.
'You say that Corudan's sister Sigileth intended to investigate his disappearance near Helm's Deep? I will send a message to Erkenbrand that she be found and told of these new tidings.'0/1
