The Alliance was marching towards Gondor when an Elvish rider came to them, telling them that Ithilien was being attacked and the forest had turned into an inferno. Heeding the call, Mageth rode forward with 500 Avari archers, who were also very skilled with stealth, swordsmanship and free-running. Meanwhile, Chellon led 500 Dwarf warriors behind the enemy forces so that they could trap them in. Mageth met with Legolas, and the two started their defence together against the enthralled Gondorians.
