Daroou was getting confused with all of the posabilities and options available and decided to finish it all…* The bottle, we mean to say. He grabbed the bottle off Chani, closed his eyes and greedily gobbled the contents down his throat. All of the other 23 pairs of eyes** followed the frogs course to the neck of the bottle. Fortunately the frog was bloated enough to lodge in the neck and remained there with the last of the contents seeping around him.
One belch later and the empty(ish) bottle was handed over to Gothmog for a refilling. He subsequently re-toad his way back to the fountain, inserted the bottle and pulled it out of the water. At last! He heaved the bottle to his lips and started drinking - at which point the frog suddenly reanimated and twitched a little.
"We should tell him" suggested Chani.
"Nooooo, sshhh" came the response.
The frog got lucky with his new breath of life, but then croaked after entering Gothmog's gullet. Alas, poor frog.
To continue with the quest, with a somewhat quenched Gothmog, go to 28
* HINT!
** Yeah ok. Maybe someone's stuck in a pit still.
