Double post, but hey. I'm sure your publisher tells you this anyway, but put your speech on every new line. EG:
"Blah" Said bob, doing somthing. "But blah blah blah" replied the squirrel. Bob was silent for a while, then replied. "Aye. Blah Blah Blah."
That kind of thing
And minor point here, but I always thought Gandalf was the last to arrive upon middle earth. Still, that doesn't matter. Very nice, like I said. Keep it up!

Very nice start, Looking forward to the next parts!
Thanks slickman the first part was kinnda rushed as I wanted to get it done , Ill probably edit it later.
Yeah your right EoJ, I do do that. Its the thing that does my head in most, I cant help it sometimes. I think I did it alot there because I was tired, ive just got up and wanted to check it straight away because it didnt feel right. The other thing I do is slip in and out of past tense and present tense, have you noticed? Its another thing I have to work on! Thanks for bringing it up mate ill be more aware of it when i write like that next time.
Ps: I dont have a publisher, I have a publisher request to review a manuscript Thats different.
Pps: everything I wrote in that so far is pretty much factual from tolkien so gandalf and elrond meeting them there was actually acurate. although there are two conflicting accounts.
EDIT: Ok I quickly edited it let me know if it sounds a bit better

It's great so far!
Some positive suggestions are: Mabey a little Sindarin or Quenya (both an Elvish language), and also I'd just like to point out that the Blue Wizards came first, followed by Radagast, Curunir, and finally Olorin.

check out that link for where we are getting the facts we base it on. There are alot of different versions of what happened we have to choose one to base it on.
Thanx for the comments guys Im going to try and do some more elvish speech do we have any elvish speakers in the house?????
