Gildor defends the Hobbits from the fearsome Ringwraiths.
s
yet unaware of the precise danger he is in, Frodo has finally departed the
Shire with his companion Hobbits in tow, urged to leave by Gandalf the Grey.
Frodo's ultimate destination is the Elf haven of Imladris, more commonly known
as Rivendell. First, though, he needs to reach the village of Bree, where Gandalf
will be waiting for him. In truth, Frodo has been less than honest with his
companions, Sam and Pippin, for he has told them that he is merely travelling
to Buckland to begin a new life away from the bustle of Hobbiton. Of course,
being inquisitive Hobbits, Sam and Pippin are very much aware what Frodo's
real goal is; though they have so far not acquainted their friend with this
information. Having been advised by Gandalf to stay off the main roads, Frodo
has travelled deep into the Eastfarthing when he and his friends hear hoofbeats
upon the path. Believing it to be Gandalf, and thinking to surprise the wizard,
they hide behind a tree, little realizing that their pursuer is actually one
of the Nazgûl until he is upon them. With miles to go until safety and
the Ringwraiths upon them, can the Hobbits possibly escape?
OBJECTIVES
With the Ringbearer literally a few feet away from one of the Ringwraiths, the hunt for the Ring has now truly begun. The Evil player has but one objective – kill Frodo. If Frodo is slain, the Nazgûl reclaim The Ring and the game is over. The Good player must prevent this by slaying the Nazgûl or moving Frodo off the board via the eastern edge.
