***** DALE - Bram *****

Bram saw several faces blanch when the phrase 'your fine crew' was spoken. He could almost hear the word, "hostages", ring through the air, and he looked about surprised that no one else could hear it.

'Well, Captain', he said, 'these are the companions we talked about several weeks ago - the ones King Bard wants delivered to King Elessar for that special audience. Now none of them have done a lot of sailing, but they are quick learners and . . . enthusiastic . . . in their own ways.'

The groans were almost audible at this remark, but he ignored them and went on.

He motioned forth the Dwarves, first. 'These are the representatives from The Lonely Mountain. Stonehelm, Hringa, Durgan, and Frain.' Next came the Elves. 'And these are the representatives from Mirkwood - Orodan, Nefros, and the lovely Isilya. Last came the Men. 'These are the representatives from Dale - Girion and Rubin.'

Bram could see some of the companions' mouths drop open at this introduction like fish out of water, gasping for air.

'He left out all our titles!' hissed Girion to Rubin. 'Shame!' muttered Durgan, looking toward Stonehelm.
