Balin’s Tomb   Leave a comment

Link played as the Fellowship and I played evil.

Fellowship started aggressively with Gandalf casting Sorcerous blast on the goblin captain and knocking him prone. Aragorn Boromir and Gimli charged in to the goblins killing many. Legolas stood in the centre on the tomb and the hobbits surrounded Frodo and moved to the rear.

Gandalf defended the centre but took blows from goblin archery and warriors, Legolas neatly dodged the arrows and fired many of his own back.

Eventually the Troll burst through the goblins and was heavily wounded by Gimli and then the other heroes joined in as nd he was swept away. However during the distraction the goblins had surrounded the hobbits. Merry was defeated and then Sam. Gandalf and Pippin kept the valiant Frodo safe and hidden behind the pillars. Gandalf collapsing rocks from above onto the hapless goblins.

Finally the goblins were running out of time and even though more entered through the gates the main heroes had rushed to the rear of the cavern and defended the last two hobbits from attack. So victory went to good well done Link.
