Beyond Imladris  by PSW 1 Review(s)
LindeleaReviewed Chapter: 9 on 2/13/2025
"What are you doing down there?" My mind immediately generated half-a-dozen snarky answers. It's a good thing young Estel has more sense than I do.

He really sleep-walked a long way, didn't he?

Ah, Dorhaur has a rope in his pack. Doesn't do him much good there, unfortunately. Still, he has a rope, which is more than the Fellowship could say when they came to Moria. (I am snarky tonight. It must be getting close to bedtime.)

I'm glad Dorhaur didn't leave him alone in the ravine in the night when who-knows-what might be out there!

Yikes! My respect and admiration for Dorhaur just keeps growing – exponentially, at this moment. I can see him sliding down into the trap to the rescue! And the moving battle! And, whew. The cavalry comes over the hill just in the nick of time.

It'll be interesting to see the upcoming conversation between Dorhaur and Estel's foster-family.

Author Reply: Ha! I think Dorhaur had the snark covered - though Estel might have added more if he wasn’t half asleep…

I didn’t even think about the Fellowship’s rope troubles when I wrote that! That’s funny. No, it doesn’t do him any good back in the camp - but I guess one can’t have everything. ;-)

Dorhaur did well not to leave the kid on his own in the middle of the night, and it turned out to be the right decision…
