GOLLUM COMP:
Galadriel: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Mystic's Ball. I hope everything has been to your liking. Unfortunately, I have a rather serious matter to discuss.
On the second night of the ball, all guests received two rings as a token of friendship. Each ring bore crystals from the Mystics cavern which allowed the bearer to travel back and forth between the three different realms.
Gollum, one of our shadier party crashers appears to have an obsession with rings. As a result, they have all disappeared, stolen from their owners. We have every reason to suspect Gollum, seeing as he disappeared shortly before we discovered the rings were missing. Several of our helpers went looking for him. They found his tracks and followed them to the edge of the Anduin where they stopped abruptly at the water's edge.
Deb: [act]speaks up[/act] Well, then let's go after him. I've got a sturdy raft that can handle the Anduin easily.
Galadriel: [act]stares at her in shock[/act] I suppose you haven't looked at the Anduin lately?
[act]Deb appears confused[/act]
Galadriel: At this time of year the Anduin is treacherous and icy. The speed of the water brings up boulders which turn the river into rapids. No raft would ever survive such a crossing and any passengers would surely perish in the torrent.
Helena: [act]approaches Galadriel[/act] Then how did Gollum cross with our rings?
Galdriel: [act]is serious[/act] Gollum is an amazing creature, one of a kind. Before his transformation he was a creature closely related to the hobbits. His kind were river-folk and he still swims incredibly well. No one else would have a chance at crossing the Anduin. Although I do not believe he went that way. We cannot follow him. He used the pool and we have no rings.
Firefall: [act]looks downcast[/act] We will never get our rings back!
...Or will we?
