'It does my heart good to see a ${RACE} such as you, ${PLAYER}! Aragorn there seems a strong Man, but he seems to prize the friendship of Elves over that of his own kind. So many Elves in this place! Every hour we spend in this hidden valley prolongs the struggle of Gondor; how many men will fall in its defence ere we depart?

'My sword-arm itches for battle, and my horn longs to be sounded! You understand the need we have for haste, ${PLAYER} -- you are not like these others, who live for such a long span that the concerns of the present must seem trivial, or meaningless. But it is not so!

'Climb the winding road to the south entrance to the valley and ask the guards there if they have need of my vigilance. I will spend the time until we depart guarding the borders, if they have need of my strength.'

Boromir is in one of the guest rooms of Elrond's House.

The guards at the southern entrance to the valley have politely rebuffed Boromir's offer of aid.
