'The battle is won, my friend, and now we must look to the future! The design of Saruman has been ruined, not by any spell or magic, but by the stout hearts of the Rohirrim and the swift speed of Shadowfax!'

Gandalf notices your study of the curious trees beyond the Dike.

'Ah, that forest is no magic of mine, ${PLAYER}. A power much older than my own drives it to be here, and I could not have hoped for a more timely arrival than this!'

He hands you a number of healing poultices.

'Before we can proceed, we must attend to the hurts of those injured during the battle. These poultices will bring them some measure of relief. Speak with the King and see if he has need of such treatment, and then do what you can for the wounded.'

Gandalf has asked you to bring healing poultices to injured men in Helm's Deep, and the King has asked you to bring his command to any men nearby who own swift horses.
