Aragorn, Boromir, Legolas and Gimli formed.
This group missed a lot of danger. Gandalf fell into darkness when the carrier is in the
ring in Moria. Boromir died killed by unidentified armed orc arrows. Merry and Pippin was
kidnapped by the Orcs and Frodo and Sam go both to Mount Doom.

Pippin. They refer to themselves as the Three Hunters (The Three Hunters) and pursue the orcs

Sam are stronger than himself, Golam offers to guide them through the marshes to die (The
Dead-marshes) to the black gate of Mordor. For a while Golam be their friend but the evil
influence of the ring always bothered him. In front of the gates of Mordor, they find that they can
not get into the cursed land through there because too strict supervision.
Golam then bring them to Ithilian, land that had been owned by the kingdom of Gondor.
He intends to pretend to bring Frodo and Sam (highly detested) into Mordor through the MinasIthil / Minas-Morgol, through a peak named "Cirith Ungol", which means climbing the spider.
This is because Shelob (a giant spider malignant) live there.
In the beautiful forests Ithilian they met Faramir, brother of Boromir and Denethor's
youngest son. With a heavy heart he carries the second hobit to a secret place that is located
behind a waterfall. After eating and resting, Faramir tells Frodo that a strange creature caught by
the guards. The creature is none other than Golam, who fled when Frodo met with Faramir. By
request Frodo, he managed to save Golam of the death penalty, but Golam never forget. He hates
ties or mine and Frodo tricked him and he was tied. Before leaving, Faramir warned Frodo that
Cirith Ungol name is the name that is cruel and it is possible Golam intends took him there to
frame him. But Frodo kept going and Faramir gives Frodo Frodo food and went on his way.
