Let's not forget that Gildor Inglorien was one of the strongest in the house of Elrond, after all he had seen the light of Valinor and he glowed in the darkness of the night. No doubt he was obligated to protect his own band before some endangered hobbit travelers. He gave enough aid to get them at least to Bree. Even if things went horribly awry. Not to get off topic, but could Gildor be very close kin to Glorfindel? It makes sense.
