'We make for Helm's Deep, the last great stronghold in the Westfold; the Fords of Isen are lost. Have you not heard? Erkenbrand is gone, as are Grimbold and Elfhelm! Our last hope is at the mighty Hornburg.'
If the people of the Westfold make for Helm's Deep, then perhaps Théoden's company did as well...for you do not see any sign of them upon the road.0/1

'Ah, Player! I did not expect to see you here on the eve of the greatest assault Rohan has ever endured. I am glad you are here to aid us, and not trapped beyond the gate when it locks behind us.
'I trust the rest of my realm does not fare so badly as the Westfold, with doughty warriors such as yourself to defend it. Tell me: what news of the Westemnet?'0/1
