[QUOTE="zug_zug, post: 990236, member: 12382"] [b]Chapter II- Heading West[/b] [b]October 23rd[/b] The company mounts, a plan of action partly formed. Bidding Elrond farewell the group exits out the courtyard as many elves stand and watch silently. The company makes its way into the valley, and soon the House of Elrond is no longer in sight. For several hours the group follows the road as it winds through the valleys surrounding Imladris, the weather cool and fine as they ride.
