'Oh, I am certain Bilbo meant no harm by his criticism of my manuscript to this point, but his words echo some of my own concerns! Will this account of my journey put my future readers to sleep, ${PLAYER}? I do not want that! This is to be a thrilling tale of adventure, not a soporific account suitably accompanied by a mug of warm milk before bedtime!

'I have a new idea, my adventurous friend. I propose that we climb the very mountains in which this Elf-haven is nestled! We will climb the Misty Mountains and have such adventures that any reader with the unfortunate idea of reading just before bed will be rewarded with nightmares and a poor sleep indeed!

'I have spoken with a number of the Elves here, and they tell me that the mountains are filled with many dangerous creatures. Snow-beasts, snow-lurkers... I have never seen any of these foes before, but we should do our part to defeat any that threaten as we climb. That will make for an exciting read when it is written down, will it not?'
