[Awww... we'll miss ya Ellethwen!]

Larael laughed, her anxiety calmed,"That was a good one Melda!"
She put her bow down and pulled several arrows out of a tree.
"Maybe they can't even find wood," she laughed again, feeling guilty about making fun of the men who could actually be in danger.

[[I'm going to be away this weekend, guys - don't go too far without me!]]

Caunion was still amazed with the fact that a known ranger was travelling with them. His attention was drawn to the object hanging from the tree. "Hmph," Caunion said. "I wonder what that is. Anything you remember, Ellie?" He walked closer to the object, still staring at it.

[Bye Ellethwen and Melda! We'll play it like you're still with us ]

EDIT: [I'm going to be on vacation 'till Thursday evening, but I probably won't be posting again until Friday. Just pretend I'm there]

[No problem Gwen. We'll miss ya! ]

[Hey, can I join? I think I will pretend I missed the council, it seems easier.]

Elessar dug his heels into his steed, urging him faster. The horse and rider flew over the ground, their haste necessary. Slowing slightly to gallop over a ridge, Elessar spotted a group of women and horses stopped on the trail. He frowned, not happy with this disturbance to his plan. Riding towards them, he stopped before a familiar-looking lady and surveyed the situation.

"My ladies," he panted, "Where is your guard? Return from whence you came at once, you are not safe! I ride to warn Elrohir of a goblin band not half a league from here, and I find you!"

((Hey, welcome Will! Good intro ))

Luthien turned and watched a young man ride towards the girls. After his speech, she examined his face and exclaimed, "Elessar? Is that really you? What are you doing in Middle Earth? And what do you mean by goblins? I'll have you know that several very capable guys are just over there." She took a deep breath after asking so many questions.

"You said: I know that this will hurt, but if I don't break your heart then things will just get worse..."

Brego looked on as she walked. Tears moved slowly down her cheek. She was lost, alone and scared. She had lost her horse and most important lost. She was way behind the other or ahead. She sat down under a tree and wait. She need a few min. to clear her mind.

Larael stood by Luthien's side listening to the urgent message. Cursing to herself she thought, goblins! I knew we should have stayed with the men. We'll probably get caught out here after dark, and with those things prowling around... she shivered at the thought.

"That's really amazing..." said FaZ, then he quickly added:
"Ok, I will go find he ladies, and you two, please do something with those dead goblins first, and then catch me up... Yeah, i know, not the best job but somebody has to do that. We will discuss the mystery of Elegost again with girls, when we cross the river, ok? This area is really too dangerous."
FaZ got on his horse and hastened along the road.

Caunion ducked and unsheathed his sword. He quickly mounted his horse as well. His lamellar armor wouldn't be able to stop arrows entering his body so Caunion sped his horse as fast as he could allow.

FaZ jumped off his horse and greeted the girls.
"Ok with you all?" He asked smiling to Luth and Gwen.
"There is no danger, however we should cross the river before we set up a camp, that would be safer for us. So, how are you and what've you been doing?"
FaZiovsky heard Ellie shouting something afar off, but he tried to play cool. "There is no danger! For sure." thought.

Brego grab her horse's rains as she mounted. She fought on a horse and was scared. She dismounted as she got to the enge to the forset. She had fanilly had found the group. She held her sword. She tried to move closer towards the group. Stay in the middle, she thought.

Luth caught Ellie's sword in surprise. "Nice of you guys to show up!" she shouted, and threw a look at the newcomer, still on his horse. Grabbing the reins of her horse, she led her into the forest and secured her to a tree.

[Yay! Me is back!]

Melda felt herself going into panic mode and shut her eyes for a moment, remembering to breathe. She unsheathed her knife but it felt silly, just standing there with no clue how to use it. She wondered what to do with her horse. Melda bit her lip hard, scared beyond all reason, and hoped desperately that it was a mistake, that there were actually no goblins.

Elessar watched the men return to the group, confirming his tale. Dismounting, he let his horse run free. He drew his sword and rushed to the front. He shouted, "Everyone who knows how to fight, form a circle around the rest. Men, to me!" Elessar hadn't spent that much time in Middle Earth, but he could tell that he had more experience fighting goblins than any of them.
