what if...?
Gandalf: That ring is bad news Frodo - it must be destroyed.
Frodo: how so?
Gandalf: it must be placed in the fires of Mount Doom
Frodo: oh well, i guess that means a lot of walking, camping and then running away from monsters, lots of death and almost losing all my friends?
Gandalf: Nah, i know some big eagles that can fly us straight to the mountain and we can drop it in the lava. we'll be home for tea.
Frodo: nice one!
