The Elven King's Halls, Mirkwood Forest, Rhovanion, Middle Earth
Night. March 19, Year One of the Fourth Age
Wet, rainy, cold
Within the maelstrom of smoke and flame, the uncertain periphery of the heroes' battlefield shifts and swirls with the whim of the wind!
To the east, more vile goblin men, armed with jagged sword and spear, unexpectedly appear from out of the writhing veil of ebon mist!
(O4, O5)
And to the north, lurking shapes of vicious hateful wargs suddenly emerge against the billowing clouds of orange and black!
(W1, W2)
Wolf and orc; they are all of them astonished to see armed resistance still standing among the massacre of the wood-elves!
The two young hobbits of the company quickly scamper to take cover behind rocks, hiding from the emerging threats!
To the west, without hesitation, the golden elven sisters draw back their long bows and loose at the wargs coming through the smoke! Three of their arrows feather the first beast
(W1), but it lives, snarling with malice and defiance!
Naruthirdor the elf leaves their side, moving east to catch up with the vanguard of the company, crossing the fire-blackened ground and passing through heat and smoke to behold a tremendous troll looming over his companions, raising a massive stone hammer over its misshapen monstrous head!
Startled by the monumental size of the giant terror, Glasik the dwarf and Elbenarin the ranger swing ax and sword wildly! Their kin, however, do not falter in the face of this horrifying evil!
"Come, vile spawn of Melkor! Face a true blood son of Numenor!" Elbenwin proclaims as his blade cuts the troll's vast chest!
Her dog barking at her side, Gilly the dwarf cries,
"IRONFOOT!" and her pick sinks deep into the creature's trunk-like thigh!
The blackhearted monster roars in pain and hate and brings his immense hammer down in a devastating arc upon Gilly to exact a terrible revenge!
BOOOMM! The dwarven warrior narrowly averts the colossal hammer's deadly mass and it crashes into the ground, shaking the very earth beneath their feet!
