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.<\/p>\n
Book IV, Chpater 4: Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbit<\/b><\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Faramir’s questioning is only interrupted by impending battle, but what do these Men of Gondor intend?<\/p>\n
