"My companions, I do not wish to rush your decisions, but I feel I must implore you to act quickly. Sundown approaches, and if we fail to make the right decision this day I fear for our safety. Please do not wait to vote until the final moments of the day; indeed, I would like to discuss our options should we not expel the traitor today, and as I must leave shortly before day's end, I would like to see out the end of our voting. If this is not possible, I understand that you also have other obligations that you must fulfill (although I know that ridding our fellowship of the traitors is your truly highest priority). I urge you now, carefully consider your votes, but do so quickly, as another day's end without the departure of a traitor may be, selfish though it may sound, my end."
Theodred felt rather cowardly to be making such a speech, but as the others were relatively quiet and as the sky was growing darker, he knew that something had to be said to ensure the fellowship to act quickly.
EDIT: X'd with Tom Bombadil
