Sondo barely had fininshed his plan when Rory piped up "I'll go with you." Rory felt lonely, and sort of forgotten, the last several days. He wondered if he shouldn't have openly told Sondo his problems with him. He looked into all the hobbits' eyes, wondering if they mistrusted him. Finally something I can do to help, something I'm good at. We've been starving, and I've done nothing except be another person to feed. What could I have done? I've never hunted before. Finally something I'm good at, he thought. This should be easy, it'll be like back at home again. It'll be like borrowing things from my sister. Rory grinned, but what he didn't realize was the possible dangers. Once Rory had a plan of being up to no good, he often ignored the possible consequences; getting himself into trouble.
Marroc came with Sondo and Rory, they set off, and soon halted, where Sondo laid out the plan. Rory nodding his head in enthusiasm, agreeing splitting up was the best way.
They split up Sondo to one side, Rory and Marroc to the other. Rory then told Marroc he was going around the back, and that way they can hopefully trap him. He began to sneak quietly around the side of the hill, until he saw the back of the guard. He nodded to Marroc and Sondo who we both in position. Marroc was such a sneaky lad, he got right in behind him, Rory looked on with excitement.
Then a moment of terror hit Rory, it looked like the guard was going to spot Marroc. The guard began to look around. Rory jumped up, to get Marroc out of there, when a clonk was heard. The guard whipped around to Sondo's side, when another rock came flying in, cracking him in the head, and knocking him out.
Sondo sprang up, alongside Marroc, with Rory. "I suspect he's going to be out for a while and with quite a headache." Rory chuckled. He was glad to see the brute unconscious. "That was a mighty hit Sondo, pal."
