"Well," grunted Gimli. "I suppose that explains something."
"Yes," murmured Gandalf. "But most definitely not everything." He began to pace in front of the slumbering Sams.
"I've got it!" exclaimed Legolas. He reached over his shoulder and pulled out an arrow which he nocked. "We shoot all but one Sam so things can go back to normal!"
"NO!" yelled Frodo. "You can't do that to my Sammies!" Everyone stopped, again, and looked at the reddening Frodo. Legolas was so stunned that he released his arrow and stumbled at the same time. The arrow shot through the air and landed with a dull thump in the pillow on Suzie's bed. Merry and Pippin could only suppress the drunken laughter for so long and when it came, it came it gales. It wasn't very long until both hobbits were rolling on the board clutching their sides. Frodo's face went from slightly pink to bright red. He stormed off and hid behind the ebony figures.
"I never expected Frodo…" commented Arwen. "Well I wish him and Sams the best of luck." Then she looked seriously into Aragorn's eyes and they were no longer a part of the conversation.
Merry and Pippin were still rolling on the game board convulsing with laughter. The Sams woke up but were confused. 'Which way to go,' they wondered in monotonous thoughts. 'To Frodo the apple of our many eyes or to the convulsing idiots laughing at the delicious apple?' In the end they passed Merry and Pippin on their way to Frodo.
Being the only two left standing for various reasons, Legolas and Gimli went on to explore the room. They found many things baring Legolas' likeness. Pictures, action figures, (though they did not know what the action figures were.) all varying in size from the same size as this Legolas to about twenty time the size of this Legolas. (Oh that would be a life size cardboard cutout of Legolas.) Everything had the words "Lord of the Rings" written on it some where, along with a ring. It took them a while before they figured out that the ring was actually the Ring of Power, did they comprehend that the person living in that room was a loony.
Legolas climbed the bed to retrieve his arrow and also to have a look around the room from a better vantage point. As he looked around, he spotted the ebony orcs surrounding the pile of Sams and Frodo. Legolas nocked the arrow once more and shoot an orc who gave out a gurgling cry and died. The gurgle alerted the Sams to the orcs presents, and they immediately sprang into action, hauling themselves reluctantly off Frodo. As the orcs drew swords, Sams drew swords and frying pans. (Frodo crawled away looking frightened and rather disappointed)
The Sams were the first to attack. In a furry of little hobbit arms orc appendages flew. Guttural was cries filled the Lavender painted room. Once ebony orcs # 1-8 lay on the board all missing various things… the Sams regained their original qualities and went back, to Frodo's farther disappointment, to their respective squares and dropped into a stiff sleep.
