So: talking in feigned voices to draw the enemy away into the woods sounds like a very Tolkien scene, but I can't place it at all. It might be Bilbo against the spiders in Mirkwood, but we've already had Bilbo. It's the sort of thing you'd do if you were sneaking into an enemy's camp, or to divert the enemy from your main force, but that's... really not something that happens much in Tolkien.

Is it something to do with Turin? Perhaps from his bandit days, or perhaps when Beleg and Gwindor were sneaking in to rescue him from the orcs? That's the only thing I can think of.

EDIT: Or, if 'woods' is a mistranslation, and GTrans has flipped some pronouns, something from the Dead Marshes? Feigned voices drawing people away, and the number three is in there...
