"The path goes this way." Thorin says
As the dwarves and Bilbo and I keep following the path through the forest, it twists and turns over all sorts of terrain such as bare ground, high ledges, fallen tree trunks, and more. The color palette used is very blue/gray, and gloomy. Dwalin thumps the handle of his hammer on the ground to find the paving stones of the trail.
"This way." Dwalin tells us
We continue walking, I hold tightly to Thorin and he returns the jesture.
"Air. I need air." Bofur says
"My head, it's spinning." Oin says
The company suddenly run into each other as Nori, in front, stops abruptly.
"What's happening?" Oin asks
"Keep moving. Nori, why have we stopped?" Thorin asks going over to Nori
"The path...it's disappeared!" Nori says
"What's going on?" Dwalin asks
"We've lost the path!" Oin says
We are standing in front of a steep cliff, and there is no path ahead of us.
"Find it. All of you look. Look for the path!" Thorin calls
The Company wanders through the forest. The forest is beginning to affect them mentally, and they stagger about. I suprisingly am not affected, but I still have know idea where we are.
"I don't remember this place before. None of it's familiar." Balin says
"It's got to be here." Dori says
We find the remains of the bridge that Gandalf mentioned, but it is impassable. Bofur suggests that we swim across, but Thorin reminds him of Gandalfs warning. We try to find another way across; Kili finds some large vines and starts to climb over. Thorin tells him to stop, and looks at me and Bilbo.
"Who is the lightest?" He asks
"I maybe taller but I probably weigh less" I say
Thorin nods, he turns to me "Be careful, amralime"He says to me and kisses me
I transform into a panther and cross slowly but, it is quite easy for me in this form. I get to the other side.
"Send Bilbo, he's next lightest and might help tell how they work for you guys" I call so they do
Just as Thorin crosses over to Bilbo and I, Bilbo and I look up into the forest and see a glowing white stag. Thorin takes aim with his bow.
"What are you doing?" Bilbo asks
Thorin and the stag lock eyes, and Thorin fires an arrow, but misses.
"You shouldn't have done that. It's bad luck" Bilbo tells him
"I don't believe in luck We make our own luck." Thorin says
The rest of the dwarves make it over, and pick Bombur up from the water, and carry him into the forest. He had fallen asleep on his way over and fell in the water. We decide to take a rest after awhile.
"What hour is it?" Thorin asks
"I do not know. I don't even know what day it is." Dwalin says
"Is there no end to this accursed forest?!" Thorin says
