"Helm's Deep? Yeah, I remember Helm's Deep. That's where I lost my left eye to those bastard orcs, layin' down suppressive fire while we pulled back. There was women and babies in the caverns, old men in the front lines. And Theoden.
"He was a proper King. Full of fire. Him and some guys comin' outta Moria got personal with them orcs, chargin' in like they was made of stone and breathin' fire! And Gandalf!
"We were down to the last. Them orcs woulda et us without second thoughts, if Gandalf hadn't shown up with the Rohirrim. Damn, that was a sight. We were up on the ramparts, throwin' rocks down, when the world just lit up. And we had 'em.
"The walls? Yeah, they blew 'em. Couldn't stop 'em for nothin'. Saw that berserk orc at the last second, when he came flyin' at the wall with that torch. We tried to run, but lost half our men right there. Buncha them elves bought it, the ones down from Illithien or some such to help us out. I'da made 'em for ponces 'til then.
"I remember Helm's Deep."

And props to Mr. Jackson and the guys at EA for the work on "Battle for Middle Earth." It is a most enjoyable game. Every time I take/hold Helm's Deep, it's a beauty.

The only response I've gotten to this is that the word "et" doesn't work. I'm looking at it, and I'm not sure.
I like it. You did a really fine job with this piece.
