"Next stop: the White Mountains. I believe that there may be a foothold or three of the Men of Gondor still there, hidden in those mountains. If we're lucky, we can find one." Aramir said. "Bloody unlikely. I bet that the Black Uruks would have cleared them out by now." Brennus said. "I heard rumors of them shortly before the Orcs reached my farm in Dor-En-Ernil. And if anybody, Old man Borohad knew what he was talking about with his rumors." Aramir said. "Your trusting a most likely dead old man with our lives?!" Celemil cried out. "Borohad was the most reliable source of information in my area. I trusted him, old and dead or no. Now, the problem with getting to the White Mountains is that we need to cross Rohan first. The Mouth of Sauron is most likely scouring those plains for trespassers. Any ideas on how we can get past all the Orcs, Easterlings, and Uruk-hai in Rohan?" Aramir said. "We could go through the misties and into... Dunland. There are plenty of places to hid in the craggy moors of Dunland. We'd have to go through the more remote and treacherous paths and then through dreary Enedwaith. But the risk of capture is smaller than cheerily tramping through Rohan like a load of fools." "Eureka! That gave me an idea! We don't even need to do that. We sneak past Isengard, and then head through Enedwaith, cutting the journey in two." Aramir said. "Are you literally trying to kill us all? Going past Isengard is suicide." Dolenus said. "No, because the closer to Isengard we are, the farther we are from harm. Going right across his doorstep is the very last thing the Mouth would expect people trying to get through this area to do. Because it doesn't make sense, it makes sense!" Aramir said.
