WHen the two groups will meet... Good queston. Given that the Rohan group is on horseback and the Minas Tirith group is on foot, not for a while. I think (A) the Minas Tirith group will try to procure horses in Rohan or (B) they will beg or borrow some boats, down the Anduin (perhaps they will find Aragorn's boat on the Amon Hen side and Friodo's boat on the Amon Lhaw side...)

Anyway, 1000 years ago Nimrodel stopped by the stream of Gilrain (in south Gondor) because it reminded her of her own stream. There she fell into a long sleep and so "missed the boat". Erebemlin and Amroth will learn this and carefully search the length of the entire river. If the Minas Tirith group hasn't caught up yet, they will at that point.

For one thing, they will need Raefindan's dreams to find out more about what happened. Raefindan will be Amroth's key to learning the details of Mithrellas and Imrazor. From that he will deduce that Nimrodel was imprisoned with the dead. Then they'll go to Erech, and beyond, into the Paths.

The trip to Lorien and down the Anduin can be made in as little, or as much, detail as the game produces. Whether we waltz from Rohan to Lorien and down teh Anduin to South Gondor completely unmolested or battling every inch of the way, who knows? Time will tell. Perhaps there'll be a happy mix.
