Book 13, Chapter 7: Defending the Deep

Saruman's attack on Helm's Deep continues, and the battle is beginning to take its toll on the fortress and on its defenders.

'The Orcs by the gate had feigned death, and as I passed by with Aragorn they leapt onto me, dragging me to the stones. I was overcome by their grasping arms, and would have perished were it not for my heroic friend here. I speak of Gimli, the staunchest dwarf I have ever met! I did not know he was with us in the battle, but at my time of need he charged from the shadows and felled the Orcs that pinned me.

'Speak to him and see if there is anything he lacks, and it will be his.'

It is after midnight at Helm's Deep.

Gimli is by the postern gate, below the north-west tower.
