Traveling toward the pass of Cirith Ungol, the hobbits discover a surprisingly pleasant countryside. Desperate, Frodo agrees, and they turn aside from the gate. Gollum, however, begs them to take another way - a secret passage that only he knows.
When they reach the Black Gate, Frodo and Sam despair of passing the constant guard but resolve to make the attempt. Gollum agrees and leads them out of the hills and through the Dead Marshes, a haunted swamp. Despite Sam's misgivings, Frodo bargains with Gollum for guidance to the Black Gate of Mordor. They realize that Gollum is following them and manage to capture the corrupt creature. Meanwhile, Frodo and Sam have become lost among the pathless hills of the Emyn Muil. Fortunately, Gandalf breaks the contact before the hobbit has a chance to reveal Frodo's quest to destroy the Ring. Later that night, Pippin sneaks a look into the stone and encounters Sauron himself. Wormtongue, perhaps trying to hit Saruman, throws a crystal ball out the window. When Saruman refuses, Gandalf breaks his staff. Gandalf speaks to the fallen wizard, offering him a chance to repent. Merry and Pippin, left to wait at the gate, explain that the Ents have destroyed Isengard, although Saruman himself remains hidden in the impenetrable tower of Orthanc. Where they had expected to find a wizard's stronghold, they find ruins. Unexpectedly, a great forest of trees appears in the valley and destroys all the orcs that try to escape.Īfter the battle at Helm's Deep, Gandalf takes Théoden and his companions to Isengard. The Rohirrim defeat Saruman's enormous army, although they suffer many losses. Théoden then musters his army and leads them to the fortress of Helm's Deep. Éowyn, Théoden's niece and Éomer's sister, admires Aragorn. Gandalf rouses him from his stupor and reveals Wormtongue's treachery. King Théoden has listened to the evil counsels of Wormtongue, Saruman's spy, succumbing to old age and despair. Gandalf takes the three remaining members of the Fellowship to Edoras, Rohan's capital, to counter the evil influence of Saruman. The ordeal changed him, and he has returned in white to signify that he is now the head of the wizard's council. When he fell in Moria he continued to fight the Balrog and eventually overcame him. They meet a white-robed wizard under the trees whom they at first take to be Saruman, but he reveals himself as Gandalf returned. Treebeard calls an Entmoot, a meeting of many Ents who decide to fight Saruman.Īragorn, Legolas, and Gimli find the remains of the orcs at the edge of Fangorn and follow the hobbits' tracks into the forest. The wizard once cared for the forest and learned much from Treebeard, but now he chops down the trees to fuel the war machines of Isengard. He does not particularly care about Sauron, but he takes the threat of Saruman very seriously. This ancient being looks like a walking and talking tree and is the guardian of the forest. They eventually make their way through the dense woodland to a stony hill where they meet Treebeard the Ent. When the Rohirrim attack, the hobbits run to the safety of the forest. He lends them horses to continue the pursuit, but offers little hope that the hobbits escaped the battle.Īlthough treated roughly by the orcs, Merry and Pippin remain unharmed. The horsemen's leader, Éomer, informs the trio that the orcs were destroyed on the edge of Fangorn forest, with no survivors. After three days of running with little rest, they meet a troop of the riders of Rohan. They find evidence that the orcs of Sauron and Saruman have quarreled and that either one hobbit is still alive, but they begin to lose hope as they fall farther and farther behind. Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli pursue the orcs as they run across the fields of Rohan toward Saruman's fortress at Isengard. Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli decide to let the Ringbearer go and instead rescue Merry and Pippin.
