Battle of Mount Gram

Prelude
While traveling in Mirkwood, Gimli was captured by Legolas in a routine patrol of the Woodland Realm's borders. The two traded insults on their way to Thranduil's Halls, oblivious of the friendship and brotherhood both would form in later years. Yet once they arrived, Legolas was made aware that Esgal had been kidnapped by an orc chieftain. Legolas and Gimli, followed by a woodman of Mirkwood, Nylandrar, tracked the orc party to Mount Gram.

Battle
Trying not to fall into the deep chasm in Mount Gram's inner fortress, the trio fought off large swathes of orcs until they reached the chieftains halls. There, Legolas shot off the chain connecting Esgal's cage to the roof, and Esgal ran over to the three adventurers, whom began making butcher's work of the orcs. They captured the Chieftain of Gram, before fleeing from the mountain before reinforcements could arrive.

Aftermath
The battle of Mount Gram brought Legolas and Gimli close, and the two became fast friends. Nylandrar burnt the Chieftain of Gram at the stake, before returning to his home in the Anduin.
