The Man watched with curiosity as Legolas extracted a strange looking device from his pack. It was a sharp metal pike attached a silver plate with a very long string. The Elf then scouted around the area before settling in front of a tree on the small clearing. He looped the string around a low hanging branch such that the large spike was suspended and hidden in the foliage. Although it started as an excuse to stay with the Elf, Aragorn soon found himself fascinated by the proceedings. It was clear that Legolas was setting up a trap of some sort, but he wondered why the Elf would resort to such tactics instead of hunting with his bow and arrows. The golden Elf placed the plate onto the ground below the spike and poured the food into it. He then pulled a small vial from his pouch and poured some of its deep red content onto the food.
