Wait! Some stuff happened before the Council!

Frodo is in the Inn, and the incident with the ring just occurred. Frodo is brought upstairs by the three mysterious rangers...

"You should be more cautious, young Hobbit. That is no trinket you carry." The one called strider says."

"I carry nothing."

"Indeed." Said another Ranger, this one freakishly tall and obviously sarcastic.

"I can make myself unseen if I wish, but to disappear entirely? That is a rare gift." Strider said.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Aragorn, this is Anduthuine, and that's Eureka." Anduthuine removed his hood and nodded at Frodo, but Eureka, the tall one, kept his hood up. "We are friends of Gandalf the Grey. Tell me, are you frightened?"

"Yes."

"Not nearly frightened enough." Eureka said. "We know what hunts you."

A short while later...

"Aragorn, here they come." Anduthuine said. The Nazgul entered the room across from theirs and began hacking up the clever pillow trap.

"Good thinking Aragorn." Eureka said.

"What are those things?" One of the Hobbits asked.

"They are called the Nazgul. Once great kings of men, now servants to the One Ring. Come, we must move quickly if we are to avoid them."

"It is no use." Eureka said. "They will be on us the instant we leave. Let me buy you some time. Anduthuine, stay with Aragorn and the Hobbits until Rivendell. Then continue to the Grey Keep. I will meet you there. And if I don't, well..." Eureka didn't say the well, and led the group out the door.

The Hobbits and Rangers went and hid behind a building. Sure enough, the four Nazgul appeared a moment later, walking down the street. The tall Ranger, his hood still up but his cloak now split down the middle to reveal High Elven armour, and a High Elven greatsword, which he drew and used to engage the Nazgul. The Rangers and Hobbits escaped from Bree to the sound of blades clashing in the streets.
