Excellent Ico reference! Now she's forever tied to TOR :)

How to work in Shadow of the Colossus...

A Horse Reward that appears wherever you are when you call his name? :D

Now that I think of it, Gandalf already has one of those... :?

Maybe a Kingly Reward in the forthcoming Horse-Lords of Rohan?

Sorry to be a naysayer here, but The Sorceress cannot steal one of the Nazgul's rings as they are all held by Sauron - I am fairly sure Gandalf mentions this at The Council of Elrond.

From a LM POV this also makes sense, since being undead they don't need to actually wear their rings anymore, and thus Sauron can forestall any such attempted thievery, not to mention that without The One he would want to have as many rings as he could get....

Perhaps she has still studied how to defeat a Ringwraith. Perhaps the players will have to ask for her help in that. Perhaps she says Thranduil's ring is her price...

Maybe she doesn't realize they don't wear their rings...

Surely if she studied with him she would have realised that the display cabinet on the wall held:

Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,

with spaces for:

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,

and on top of the intricately carved display pyramid a single place where he could mount:

One Ring to rule them all,
One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them,

Good point.

But then, maybe, what she wants is to deserve a mortals ring most than one of the actual Nazgûl. So, she may want to expand Sauron's plans but, at the same time, hinder the Nazgûl's activities, so the Nazgûls might look like useless in the eyes (or "in the Eye") of Sauron while she looks like a better choice at his side.

Actually, Gandalf says, "The Nine the Nazgûl keep." Furthermore, they needed their rings to maintain their immortality. Without them there would be nothing holding them in Arda, and only Ilúvatar can change the Gift of Death.

There's a page with arguments to both sides on this issue. Everyone can hold the opinion he wants for his campaign, as long as it's fun for him and his players:
