Saruman's forces march toward the fortress of Helm's Deep. Only one barrier stands in the way of Saruman's armies: the rampart of Helm's Dike, built across the trench through which Saruman's forces must pass. If the gate is broken, the green expanse before the wall will be laid bare to Rohan's approaching foes.

'What good will these bolts do for us? I have never seen so many Orcs before in all my life. These bolts cannot slay more than three or four at a time, and that only if our aim is unfailing!

'When the Orcs come through the gate, no man will be long able to stand before them, no matter the strength of his spirit or the depth of his courage. They will pass right by here on their way to the fortress, but some of our bloodthirsty foes will turn their attention upon the horses tied at stable. These good creatures will be helpless!
'Help me untie our proud beasts and set them free! At least that way they may be able to fight back against those who come to destroy us!'0/1

'It was a good thought to untie the horses, for now they will not be left defenceless in the face of our enemies. Even a cornered animal might slay an Orc or two.'
Thenca looks at you sternly.
'This seems to me clear, Player. We cannot hold the Dike any longer, and the men at Helm's Deep are truly cornered themselves, and we with them. The Orcs will see how ferocious we can be! To the fortress, my friends!'0/1
