HCIsland has just left Hobbiton.

My money is on Gandalf reminding Aragorn of the Paths of the Dead. <P>As for an army other than all the dead people, there's still the forces of southern Gondor. They're not all at Minas Tirith. Aragorn and the Dead could arrive at Pelargir with men of Gondor already engaged with the Corsairs but losing. Aragorn and the Dead turn the course of the battle and it is men of Gondor that sail the ships up the Anduin. The Dead may even leave at this point as they did in the book.<P>H.C.<P>Editted to add: Another distinct possibility is that it is Arwen that reminds Aragorn of the Paths of the Dead. You can be pretty sure she wasn't leaving for Grey Havens in Two Towers and I would put pretty good money she's got a reforged Narsil under that cloak.<P>H.C.<p>[ September 02, 2003: Message edited by: HCIsland ]
