Synopsis
The Corsairs of Umbar pass by the shore where Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli stand. Aragorn demands that they stop, declaring that they may not enter Gondor. They laugh at him, and ask "Who are you to deny us passage?" Aragorn tells Legolas to fire a warning shot, Gimli nudges Legolas's bow. The arrow hits on of the men and Gimli tells them to prepare to be boarded. The leader laughs and asks, "You and whose army". Aragorn responds, "This army" and the Oathbreakers come out from the mountain and charge the ship.
