It is dawn. Aragorn, Legolas, you and Gimli are running.

Legolas: A red sun rises. Blood has been spilt this night

the sound of horses heard

The four hide. A large group of cavalry appear

Aragorn comes out of hiding as they pass, Legolas, you and Gimli behind him

Aragorn: "Riders of Rohan! What news from the Mark?

At a signal from Èomer, the riders make a quick turn and head towards the three companions, encircling them. As they stop, they point their spears at them

Èomer: What business does an elf, a man , a woman and a dwarf have in the Riddermark? Speak quickly!

Gimli: "Give me your name, horsemaster, and I shall give you mine."

Èomer gets off his horse. Aragorn puts a hand on Gimli's shoulder

Èomer: "I would cut off your head — dwarf — if it stood but a little higher from the ground."

Legolas quickly aims an arrow at Èomer.

Legolas: "You would die before your stroke fell!"
