Ithilien is the new battleground between the forces of Sauron and those of Gondor, and Frodo, Sam and Gollum soon find themselves enmeshed in greater events.
Book IV, Chpater 4: Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbit
Sam decides stewed rabbit is in order for dinner, and convinces Gollum to help out. Later, Gollum, less than happy about the idea of a fire, stalks off and disappears. His warnings prove correct, and Frodo and Sam are captured by none other than Faramir, brother of Boromir.
Faramir’s questioning is only interrupted by impending battle, but what do these Men of Gondor intend?
