'You will find Gléowine below us, by the western wall. Ask him what he makes of Théoden's mood and temperament. We will need the King to be strong of will if we are to survive what this night promises.'0/1

'I saw the King not long ago, and he seems to be in fine spirits, Player. He is not blind to the danger, but he does not ignore it, either. His is not bravery without cause, but courage based on confidence in his men and his own strength. He sheltered too long in his own hall, and now that he emerges and sees battle he is ready for it.
'I do not think Aragorn should worry about my King. Théoden will surprise him, when the battle is upon us. Ah, I speak of battle, but I am a minstrel and know little of strategy or tactics. You have seen more of war than I have, and this old man counts himself fortunate! There is a map on the table over there. Will you show to me how the attack will progress, while we wait?'
Interacting with the map table near Gléowine will allow time to pass. Action will resume after midnight, when the battle is joined.0/1

'Thank you for the lesson in strategy and tactics, my friend. I cannot say the lesson will remain long in this old head of mine, but for now I feel glad having learned something of what awaits us here.
'But look! It is Gamling, from the Dike. He seeks our help!'
Interact with Gamling to experience 'Epic Battles: Basic Training,' the tutorial for the Epic Battles system, if you are interested in the Epic Battles system. The tutorial is optional, and can be skipped if you intend to play the Storied Tales in Helm's Deep.0/1
