Out of Fangorn, only to find a desolated Thornhope.

The companys emotions ran high as they escaped from Fangorn, being chased by a tree. There was confusion, fear and relief between them all. Gaeded felt the most worn out - this added to when she saw Thornhope destroyed. She was angry that her lands were being destroyed and upset because most likely the inhabitants were dead or homeless. She told Lieta that they should come back, to see if there is anyone still left in need of aid, but Lieta said they need to recover from Fangorn first. So, Gaeded led them to Eaworth, only getting into the town because the town's Maegisterwigend felt pity on her.
