The village at the border of Mirkwood is attacked by hordes of spiders and small groups of orcs. Hendor sees one orc who looked like a shaman who commands the spiders.

He orders his men to run as fast as possible to the trees to attack this shaman from behind. Before they reach the secure green, orc arrows are sent against them from the forest. Hendor speeds up. In the forest they will be harder to see and to hit.

When the rangers regroup behind the border of Mirkwood, they see that one of their men is missing - two arrows hit him in the chest. The rangers quickly prepare their bows and take out all the orc archers as revenge for their fallen brother.

Before Hendor can move on to help the villagers, two spiders attack, ignoring the storm of arrows sent against them. Hendor draws his sword in the last second to fend off the first spider that was jumping towards him. Another ranger quickly killed the wounded spider.

The other spider was the biggest spider Hendor has ever seen. Two meter high, the spider could only hardly be hold back by the rangers surrounding it. When Hendor came closer, the spider turned around and jumped on him. Hendor boldly moved forward and stabbed the spider in the soft belly, killing it directly.

Now the rangers have conquered the rear of the enemy and moved into position to shoot at the orcs that accompanied the shaman. But all their arrows broke on their heavy armour. The orcs charged the Beornings and Hendor led his men to aid. They quickly took them all off. The last orc wanted to flee but was struck down by the club of one Beorning warrior.

At the other side of the village the chieftain of the Beornings fought with his men against more spiders and orcs and the shaman. Two men were devoured by swarms of hundreds of small spiders. The chieftain himself fell to the ground, about to be killed by a huge spider above him. Hendor ran to him and the orcs fled back to the forest when they saw his anger. But it was already too late. The spider wounded the chieftain and deadyl poison poured out of its mouth. Hendor just jumped on top of the spider and hit it with his sword right between the eyes.

The remaining spiders were quickly killed or fled into the darkness of Mirkwood. Hendor counted five fallen Beorning militias plus the deadly wounded chieftain. Seven orcs and eight giant spiders were killed. The Beornings lost many brave warriors and their leader and looked upon Hendor full of hope. Without the help of the rangers they would all be dead now. How about Rhosgobel? Its an actual village/settlement.

Btw, what happened to Elestan and co.?
