OOC: It's DM time!! Some of this shall only fully make sense to those who have read Silmarillion.
For Turin:
Doubts were assailing the man. Should he help his companions or the young lord? His mind overwhelmed with doubts not knowing Turin excused himself of his companions and walked off a few steps. Then he walked further. His companions looked after him, but knew that Turin needed some time alone to ponder about the current situation. Still deep in thought Turin walked four or five kilometers away from the camp. Snow started falling slowly. Then suddenly he snapped out of his trance. A figure stood before him.
"You may have never heard of me, but I am called Elros, son of Eärendil and Elwing. I was sent by my captor Maedhros to see what was with the rumors of orcs in this valley. I have seen much in your thoughts and I have found the answers I seek, yet I see that you Turin are troubled, as your namesake once was. He had the choice of following his love or looking for his mother and sister. Yet due to the influence of the dragon Glaurung he chose the wrong path. Let me help you!"
The elf put a hand on Turin's brow and then withdrew it after a few minutes.
"You face a great dilemma. Both ways could lead you to saving your friends. I have seen much of your thoughts and know this: the one called Therlion is also poisoned by the same poison which eats away at the human lord. The choice you face is a hard one, and I can not make it in your stead. Yet I can give you some advice. Much time has passed since the orcs took your two friends. The snowfall has since caused the trail to be unreadable. Finding where they took your friends would surely be fatal for the human and might prove so to Therlion. And let me also tell you a few things about this Ardana: by withdrawing her curse against the family of the human the human shall be healed, yet Ardana is no healer and shall not be able to do anything against the poison in the elf's body."
"I see things you do not. A great host marches upon the town even as a smaller one besieges it. The town needs its lord. And you are the one capable of saving him. Remember sacrifices need to be made to achieve a greater goal. I am unable of choosing the way for you, but I hope I was able to help. Now I have to leave you and return to Maedhros's halls and tell him of the orcs here. It might happen that Maedhros marches against the orcs and he finds your friends."
The elf then turned and ran off lightly leaving barely visible prints in the snow.
