Description
Stage 1

The Orc and Uruk-hai attackers have brought black powder to the central gate of Helm's dike. They must be stopped before they are able to destroy the barricades and weaken the central gate. The Rohirrim are focused on defending the trenches and will rely on you to stop the flanking infiltrators.
