Notes for this episode THEY GOT STUFF THEY'S ON A RIVER THEY GOTS BOATS The Story in this Chapter: Floating down the river is boring Landscapes change Aragorn lets the fellowship kind of just drift along… they don't paddle too much.

Sam takes the watch - wakes Frodo Frodo sees a thing! Draws Sting and it flees! Aragorn wakes and says that he's seen it too… and even tried to catch... HIM?! They spot an eagle high up in the sky - at the same time they are approaching the Emyn Muil on the Eastern shore - Rohan on the Western shore Aragorn knows rapids are coming. They catch him off guard because he's never traveled by water through this area. Even Sam helps to paddle They have to turn around IN THE RAPIDS All together paddle! Paddle! paddle! Orcs! Yrch! Gollum's doing? Twangs of bowstrings -- they hit Frodo! A deeper blackness in the sky Legolas shoots it down The orcs seem to retreat Fellowship reach the safety of the opposite shore, and wait out the night Confusion about the moon… Aragorn finally reveals that they spent a lot more time in Lorien than any of them expected. -- Winter is almost over!!!

36. B2:C8 - Farewell to Lorien - [LoTR Read Along]
The Nicks dive into this chapter of gift giving by asking which of the Fellowship's gifts would you steal, or what gift would you ask of Lady Galadriel? We discuss the differences between the movie gifts and the book. And, in spite of not making an actual plan, we prepare ourselves for a long trek downriver. Maps Map of Middle-earth LoTRproject.com interactive map - Caution: spoilers for new readers! Notes for this episode Summoned up to see Lord and Lady It's time to go. Celeborn talks over what lay ahead -- east is over Emyn Muil, west goes into Rohan/Fangorn and ultimately leads to Minas Tirith. Aragorn is doubtful and troubled. (Remember gandalf's plan!) Celeborn offers boats - this could prolong the decision! The Fellowship take their own council Majority choose to go west and make for Minas Tirith. Aragorn is quiet. Boromir makes his case -- "throw away what?" Gifted cloaks, Lembas, and rope Haldir comes back to escort them out of Caras Galadhon to the waters. Gifted boats! Off down the river Giant swan swims closer… oh dear. GALADRIEL -- she sings to them with a harp. Lord and Lady invite them to eat together as a farewell. Gifts are given. Aragorn gets a sheath for Anduril and the Elfstone Boromir gets a golden belt Merry/Pippin small silver belts with a golden flower clasp Legolas gets a bow of the Galadhrim strung with elf hair and a quiver of arrows. Sam gets a small box - adorned with a G for Galadriel/Garden, filled with soil from the orchard of Galadriel blessed in the way she may. Gimli - what gift would a Dwarf ask of the Lady? Sees them off. Galadriel sings another song. The set off down the river Aragorn/Frodo/Sam, Boromir/Pippin/Merry, Legolas/Gimli -- Bromance of the story!
