Bali stood from the rock he had been resting against. "There will be time to buy things for the journey once we reach the village of Bree, which lies on our path; if we take the Caradhras. I am sure they have stores with winter gear. And Kili, I am the leader of this group, but it is a hard decision for me to make, so I am letting the group decide."

*****************************

Kaldon stayed sitting, smoking idly. I'll do anything to get a little more time. If we go to the Gap of Rohan, Erebor will have long been defeated. But Bali does not know this, he only guesses like the rest.

Then he stood, and addressed the company. "You all have good, sound arguments, but I think you overestimate the foes attacking Erebor. It would be safer to take the pass of the Gap. You cannot imagine how dangerous the Caradhras is, most of you would not last a day on its frozen slopes."

This got one of the dwarves quite worked up. "Ah, so your sayin' that your the toughest of us, eh? All that you see here are many of the finest warriors in middle earth. That's why they're comin' along! And if you don't trust their skills, feel free to leave the company."

"Kili, calm down," said Bali. "He is right, though, Kaldon. A group such as this will travel over the Caradhras easily."

Kaldon merely sat back with a smirk.Your time will come...
