Aragorn is desperate to ensure that the Hornburg is well-defended before Saruman's forces arrive.
'Weapons are in short supply here. Erkenbrand had a small amount for the garrison, but his men took most of the weapons and armour with them when they rode to the Fords, and most of them have not returned. Théoden has called for the people of the Westfold to send as many iron goods as they can spare to the Deep. It is not much, but we may be able to fashion weapons and crude armour from these iron goods in the hours we have before the battle is joined.
'Search through one of the barrels of iron goods, and sort its contents on the nearby mat. Any strong iron could be useful, but we need to know what we have available.'
