The night was black as 9 hooded figures entered the city. All were cloaked in black , and were there for only one purpose: they felt the call of the ring. They road their black horses down a street , toward the in. One by one , they came up to the inn door and beat on it with a long , sharp sword , until it suddenly gave way and fell to the floor. They all filed in , and went up to a door , the presence of the ring now almost unbearable. They walked in readied their swords , and the leader , the tallest one , said "Frodo , want to come with us to the bar and get some ale?"
