The Fellowgroup had to figure out what to do about all the trees that had appeared, especially the one that had just torn an orc in half before their eyes. Guy tried to reason with the tree, Ent actually, called Treebeard, while Adam wisely removed Tony Dumdum from the conversation. Treebeard was eventually swayed by Guy’s impassioned speech, but then he revealed that he had been sent to aide the Fellowgroup and bring them back to Saruman, the wizard who had imprisoned the original Gandalf. While the Ents recuperated, Yolo reminded Tyler that they had left Frodo unconscious within Helm’s Deep. But will the twisted hobbit still be there?

Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Lore Master Tom McGee.

As Adam and Guy lay dying, Tyler, GanDelf, and Théoden fought the orcs trying to finish them off, but were interrupted by a loud boom and a dead orc flying into the room. They eventually stabilized their friends with Jimbo bread from Tony Dumdum the White, Guy took up Éowyn’s helm and accepted the duty to inspire everyone, and Théoden came to the realization that Gondor may indeed be fighting back against the dark lord. When they surveyed the battlefield, they saw that a forest had appeared around Helm’s Deep and the remaining enemies were being driven into it. Do these mysterious and violent trees truly signify victory for Rohan?

As dawn broke, Galadriel, Tony Dumdum, and the elves of Rivendell arrived at Helm’s Deep to turn the tide of the battle, but the orcs still put up a fight. On the battlefield, GanDelf shattered the ground in the middle of some orcs, frightening them enough to run away as she and Tyler used the distraction to race back into the fortress. Inside, Adam and Guy had less luck and were struck down swiftly by a pair of orcs. Luckily, Théoden prevented the orcs from finishing the job until GanDelf and Tyler could arrive. Can the aged king, the false king, and the fire-wielding wizard save Adam and Guy before they succumb to their wounds?

It was looking like all hope was lost, so Guy raced inside to reach the Horm of Helm Hammerhand. After the horn’s keeper ran out to join the fight, Yolo suddenly appeared and blew the horn himself, though the hobbit was looking worryingly gaunt. Outside, many in Rohan’s army were inspired by the horn and fought harder, but the orcs still managed to blast part of the wall, which sent Adam flying. On the field, Éowyn and Daenerys Targaryen traded killing blows, and Tyler and GanDelf tried to rush back to the wall with Éowyn’s helm, hoping to inspire the archers to continue fighting. Have the elves of Rivendell arrived in time to win the day?

After some early success in the battle at Helm’s Deep, the Fellowgroup suffered some setbacks. On the battlefield, Tyler tried to convince the Dothraki to stand down, but they didn’t understand him, and GanDelf spoke inspirational nonsense to Éowyn as she continued to duel the rider. Atop the wall, Guy and archers struggled to hit anything at all, a wave of orcs breached the top, and Adam unintentionally sent the ballista brigade to their ends at the hands of enemies who were actually trained in melee combat. As hope faded, Guy raced to the horn of Helm Hammerhand, but will the figure holding him at spearpoint let him blow the legendary horn?

As the battle at Helm’s Deep dragged on, the Fellowgroup found some luck up on the wall. Adam’s ballista operators worked efficiently and got their shots off quickly, while Guy took a risk to fire off flaming arrows at the ladders and destroyed all of them but one. Down on the field, Tyler and Éowyn duelled with Khal Drogo and the dragon rider, striking them, and taking even harder hits in return, but the tide turned when GanDelf spoke inspiring words to Tyler and he dealt a killing blow to the Khal. The Fellowgroup has triumphed over their immediate foes, but can they contain the wave of orcs about to breach the wall?

The Fellowgroup and Rohan’s army struggled to find their targets and remain upright. With GanDelf’s staff lighting up their foes, Guy ordered the archers to loose their arrows and Adam organized the ballista operators to reorient their weapons. On the field, Tyler and Éowyn began to duel with Khal Drogo and the dragon rider. GanDelf tried to help by hurling acid and ended up falling off the wall, but she fought off her would-be captor with fire and a well-placed arrow from Guy. The battle is still outside the Wall for now, but can the ballistas take care of the orcs’ ladders before the defenses of Helm’s Deep are breached?

With the battle of Helm’s Deep underway, the Fellowgroup enacted their defense plans. Adam’s blasting-powder-tipped arrows found their target in the dragon’s fiery mouth, wounding the beast and causing its rider to plummet to the ground. As a figure looking strikingly similar to Jason Momoa rode toward the rider, Guy ordered the archers to attack, guided by the light from GanDelf’s staff. Meanwhile, Éowyn told Tyler that if Théoden died, the spirit of Rohan would die with him, so Tyler had to make a mad dash to Théoden and talk him into retreating back inside. Will the retreat of the dragon be enough to turn the tide of battle in Rohan’s favour?

The battle of Helm’s Deep has begun and the Fellowgroup strategized up to the very last minute. Tyler and GanDelf planned for the wizard hurl acid at Khal Drogo and the siege ladders, and Adam came up with a plan to lure the dragon in with human bait and then fire an arrow tipped with blasting powder into the beast’s mouth. As the dragon approached, Guy spotted a rider atop it, and the soldier who was trying to grab its attention fell from the wall. Adam tried to convince Yolo to take his place, but the hobbit was afraid of being swallowed whole, so he put on the ring and started running away. Can the troops escape the dragon’ s fiery breath?

With Frodo now restrained, and the Dothraki waiting for the orcs to arrive, Éowyn summoned Tyler and Guy back to the war room to strategize their defense. Théoden led farmers outside to soften the earth, Guy prepared to lead a stealthy unit to take out anyone trying to get through the main gate, the archers would attack for as long as possible before switching to melee defense, Tyler advised them to take out Khal Drogo first, and GanDelf informed them of the magically-imbued horn they could blow when all hope seemed lost. Have the Fellowgroup and Rohan’s army prepared enough to defend against Dothraki, orcs, and a dragon?
