Quest Text

The Deeping Wall "The armies of Isengard have brought great ladders with which to scale the wall. Push them down, push them down!" Background Saruman's assault upon the defenders of Helm's Deep has begun, his forces scaling the Deeping Wall seeking to put an end to the people of Rohan. Objective 1 Talk to Legolas atop the Deeping Wall Legolas stands atop the Deeping Wall, ready for battle. Legolas: 'The battle is joined <name>! Saruman's Orcs felled many trees on the outskirts of Fangorn, and from those trunks they assembled great wooden ladders. They use these to scale the Deeping Wall! Even now the Orcs use these constructions to come within reach of axe and sword! 'My arrows will teach them this is folly, for I can slay many of them before they reach the top; but I cannot bring them all down. You and the other defenders must fight those Orcs who reach the top of the wall. Take the time to push down as many ladders as you can and you will slow their progress, my friend. Now we fight for Rohan.' Objective 2 Patrol the wall and defeat Orcs as they climb up and attack Push ladders away from the wall Orcs climb up the ladders leaning against the Deeping Wall and must be defeated. Legolas also asked you to push down as many of the ladders as you can. Legolas says, "Fight bravely, my friend!" Objective 3 Drop the readied stones from the west trap Egláf has loaded the western rock trap on the Deeping Wall and waits for you to set it off. Egláf says, "<name>! The rock drop is ready!" Egláf says, "That'll get them!" Egláf says, "I will load the other traps!" Objective 4 Patrol the wall and defeat Orcs as they climb up and attack Push ladders away from the wall Orcs continue to climb up the ladders leaning against the Deeping Wall and must be defeated. You should continue to knock down their ladders, slowing their progress. Egláf says, "Two more traps are ready, <name>!" Objective 5 Drop the readied stones from the remaining traps Two more rock traps have been loaded atop the Deeping Wall, and Egláf waits for you to release their deadly contents onto the Orcs below. Egláf says, "<name>, over here!" Objective 6 Talk to Egláf by the rock trap on the Deeping Wall Egláf has called for you to come to his aid. Egláf: 'Our supply of stones runs low; even were it otherwise, the Orcs would learn to avoid the outlets from which fall the rocks. The cost of that knowledge was high, but the effectiveness of our traps is at an end. For every Orc we slay, five take his place! At this rate we will be overrun. 'Come with me, <name>. We are needed elsewhere on the wall!' Objective 7 Fight alongside Egláf atop the Deeping Wall Egláf says, "Follow me!" Egláf says, "Do you hear that? What is that sound?" Objective 8 Defend Egláf from the Orcs Orcs have gained access to one of the towers and dealt Egláf a grievous blow. Protect him from their weapons! Egláf says, "Thank you, <name>. I am all right." Objective 9 Talk to Egláf The surprise Orc attack knocked Egláf down, but he has recovered from the surprise and wishes to speak to you. Egláf: 'I will be all right, my friend. The wind was knocked from my lungs and I received a few scrapes, but nothing serious. The Orcs are beginning to overrun our position; I hear them atop the tower!' Objective 10 Follow Egláf to the stairs Egláf says, "This way!" Egláf says, "Climb up there and clear the Orcs off the tower, <name>!" Defeat the Orcs on top of the tower above the Deeping Wall Orcs have climbed onto the top of the tower, and Egláf has sent you to clear them away. Thenca has followed you onto the top of the tower Objective 11 Talk to Thenca atop the tower above the Deeping Wall Thenca has followed you onto the top of the tower above the Deeping Wall. Thenca: '<name>, are you all right? My sword has ended the life of many an Orc this night, but even so there seems to be no end to the creatures! Let there be no end to our courage either!' Objective 12 Defend Thenca and keep him alive There seems to be no end to Saruman's Orcs, but Thenca has sworn to defend the Deeping Wall and will do so with his life, if that proves necessary. Thenca says, "There is no time to rest, my friend!" Thenca says, "The Orcs continue to set more ladders against the wall!" Thenca says, "Their numbers threaten to overwhelm our soldiers!" Thenca says, "Back down the stairs, follow me!" Thenca says, "Oh no!" Thenca says, "It is some foul craft of Saruman!" Completed: Storied Tale: The Deeping Wall
