'Are you serious?' Gandalf asks as he surveys the level in front of him. Caradhras.

'Yes,' Aragorn replies gravely. 'We must carry all the hobbits and Master Gimli across the snow patches that are a different texture.'

'Goddamn, that is tedious' Gandalf says. 'I'm too old for this shit, I tell you.' He sighs and wishes he had a Lego pipe, but he's not sure if Lego make pipes. Smoking is bad for you, etc etc, he knows.

'Do not fear,' Boromir says, running forward. 'Come here, Pippin. I will carry you to safety!' He picks Pippin up and proceeds through the deep snow.

Aragorn picks up Frodo, Legolas takes Gimli and Sam stands all on his own. He is probably the most useful hobbit, he can light fires and garden, but no one really takes much notice of him.

'Merry,' Gandalf says, walking up to the hobbit. 'Come on.' He tries to pick him up, but accidentally shoots a ball of magic at him.

Merry yelps and glows red. 'Gandalf!' He begins to run away from the wizard.

'I pressed the wrong button, shitting hell.' Gandalf curses, chasing the hobbit. 'Come here!' He hits Merry with another blob of magic, then begins to button mash as he jumps everywhere, firing random magic blobs everywhere. He ends up hitting Merry on the head with his Lego staff and Merry shatters, gold and silver studs going everywhere. A blue stud, worth more than the others, bounces across the level.

'Get the blue!' Gandalf yells to the others. But it's too late, and the stud falls off a ledge.

Gandalf swears.

The others have taken the shorter characters over the deep snow, and Legolas walks back for Sam. As he does so, he doesn't sink in the snow like the others, but runs smoothly over the top.

'How did you do that?' Boromir asks, wading through with the snow up to his neck.

Legolas would shrug, but Lego people (or Lego elves) can't really shrug unless it's in a cutscene, so he just jumps.

'Lego. Legolas. LEGOlas. Oh my GOD,' Gandalf says, firing more magic bolts everywhere. One hits a recently respawned Merry.

'Is it a coincidence, or a conspiracy?' the wizard continues, jumping around the level manically.

Merry sidles up to Lego Legolas. 'Can you take me across? I'm not sure if I trust him,' he says, nodding at Gandalf.

Lego Legolas picks up the hobbit and carries him through the deep snow.

Sam opens his mouth to call after Lego Legolas, but Gandalf picks him up before he can utter a word.

Sam closes his eyes, hoping that Gandalf won't drop him over a cliff edge.
