The Two Towers Scene 30 Summary

  • Everyone's getting ready for battle when a horn blows. It's the elves!
  • Haldir has come with a company of elves from Rivendell, who are ready to honor their past allegiance and fight alongside men.
  • As they wait on the wall, it begins to rain.
  • The orc army approaches and stops before the wall. They yell and stamp their lances upon the earth. It's freaky.
  • When an old man accidentally releases an arrow (which kills an orc—score) the orcs charge and the war begins.
  • Legolas and Gimli are playing a morbid game where they see who can kill the most enemies. So far Legolas is winning.
