The siege on Morgordal Keep...or is it Helm's Deep? |
I've been thinking a lot about this session recently, in the context of one of my favorite battles of all time: the siege at Helm's Deep, from Tolkein's The Two Towers. My favorite character from LotR is Theoden of Rohan and his character arc takes a definitive turn as he and Aragorn must the Rohirrim for what they believe to be one final charge against Saruman's treachery.
Of course, I can't let a classic moment like that pass on without WEGSifying it! And, with FOPCon 4 around the corner, I have the perfect opportunty to give this one a run!
Take a look at my write-up below, and get those 10s and 6s ready, children! Those orcs aren't gonna wait forever!

Description: Y'know that one battle from "The Two Towers"? The one with all the orcs besieging the big ol' dwarven fortress? Yeah, it's just like that...only with the Wicked twists of WEGS and all the spoint-flinging, dice-chucking mayhem that comes with it! Can your intrepid heroes hold out against the horde and break the siege? There ain't no White Wizard to bail you out of this one--ride for wrath, ride for ruin, and the world's ending!
