Lurtz succeeded in finding the Fellowship, and his minions captured Merry and Pippin. Lurtz also found Boromir, who tried in vain to protect the hobbits. Lurtz shot three arrows at Boromir, and would have shot a fourth, but Aragorn came to Boromir's defense and beheaded Lurtz after an intense battle.
