Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the ring

Comments
1. Gandalf has lead the party to the Mines of Moria because they could not go over the mountain. Altough most of the party protested they decide to go in.
2. Gimli was very eager to go in while on their way through Moria they discovered the tomb of the dwarf Balin who was a dear friend of Bilbo and related to Frodo. Then Frodos sword shined blue meaning that Orcs were near. They all quickly blocked the doors. But there was something else coming tha the orcs eve seemed to be afraid of. Aragon lead the party while Gandalf put a spell on the door to seal it. He later joined them they ran he said that something extremely strong broke his spell. At the Bridge of Kasza-dun They found that the enemy stupidly laid a trap on at the wrong area.
3. just when they thought they were safe a huge creature tried to cross the bride and attack them it was a Belrog. Gandalf confronted it and used his magic to shatter the bridge. The Creature fell but not before using his fire whip to bring Gandalf down with him it is there Gandalf fell to his death. The others ran to the Rivers of Mirkwood.
4. There Elves greeted them and took them into their forest. There Lady Galdreial showed Frodo what would happen of he failed. They then resumed their journey down the river on boats.
5. On their finally y stop before the Falls Frodo wandered off to think when Beromier came to talk to him and asked for the ring Frodo refused and Beromier then tired to take the ring when Frodo slipped it on and became invisible and ran for now he knew he must leave to go this journey alone. He was about to shove off when Sam went after him saying he wasn't going to leave without him Frodo agreed and they set off.
