Frodo, Sam and Gollum have at last arrived to the one place they least wish to be...the very gates of the Black Land...I apologize in advance for some of the difficult sounds of Gollum, I'll be trying to modulate my voice or use an alternative voice also inspired by other beloved mediums in which we have heard his voice.
