80's Citadel Lord of the Rings – Aragorn and Gandalf
Before we get to the big battle of Willowbottom to decide the fate of the Shire, let us travel far to the north to find the ranger known as Strider…
This particular Aragorn figure is from the box set known as BME3 Balrog, Encounter at Khazad–Dum. I dont have the box set, nor any other figures from it besides this Aragorn.
So fluffwise in our campaign, Aragorn, the heir of Isildur, is busy defending the Wall at Castle Black against the Night King, the heir of Slitherine. Despite being outnumbered a thousand to one, the Rangers of the North put up a valiant defense. Attackers are repelled from the Wall itself every hour of every day. The Castle is also constantly being breached and the battle is fought corridor by corridor, room by room.
Mord the jailor of Isengard checks on Gandalf in his "sky cell".
Everyday, Mord tortures Gandalf and threatens to throw him out the Moon Door… a hole in the floor that is a long drop from the very high tower of Isengard. Everyday, Gandalf wonders if Radagast has forgotten the task he was given to send an Eagle to Isengard. Did Radagast know about Saruman turning evil? Or is Radagast just a forgetful nincumpoop? The Grey Wizard regrets that his life is now dependent on the Brown Wizard's reliability. He worries about Frodo and wonders if the little Hobbit is still safe. And the Ring… is it secret, is it safe?
Gandalf: (To Mord) Tell your master that the more he tightens his grip, the more star systems will slip through his fingers.
