Mnemonic


[l-] Legolas is [2] inside the [-an] pawn shop where he is trying to 攔 impede a 扌 finger from reaching the pile of special ancient elvish 柬 letters that are behind the display counter. He holds the 門 saloon doors that leads to the back of the counter shut, 攔 impeding the evil 扌 finger from entering. Legolas has no idea why this 扌 finger wants to read the elvish 柬 letters, but 攔 impedes it nonetheless.
