Due to a sort of cosmic mix-up, Jareth's labyrinth from the film Labyrinth appears right next to Saruman's tower right at the beginning of the Fellowship of the Ring, right after Bilbo's birthday party. What happens?
For perspective, this is before Sarah has even entered the labyrinth.
Jareth's labyrinth in Middle Earth

Re: Jareth's labyrinth in Middle Earth
Is Saruman's tower in the Labyrinth? Or are they just neighbors?
If neighbors, it's just a rather large detour to go around it to get to the tower.
If the tower is now inside... I'm not sure. Definitely a rather interesting obstacle to overcome. I wonder if the Goblin King will get along with Saruman when he decides to industrialize.

Just neighbors.

I suspect the Labyrinth will quickly be over-run with orcs or uruks.

Some of the Guardians speak only the truth, some speak only in lies- oh wait, they're all dead. Guess it's academic now.
On the other hand, Saruman may lose a significant number of his force to the Labyrinth.

Re: Jareth's labyrinth in Middle Earth
How many goblins does Jareth have, anyways? I couldn't get a good count, based on my recollections of the movie.
Turns out that a five way cross over between It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the Ali G Show, Fargo, Idiocracy and Veep is a lot less funny when you're actually living in it.
Re: Jareth's labyrinth in Middle Earth
Enough to be dramatic to a 16-year-old girl? The labyrinth seems kind of subjective, while Saruman's forces are all-too-real. I predict a strategy where Saruman assumes nobody will attempt to challenge him through the labyrinth unless they have to because of sheer pain-in-the-ass factor and sets up his forces flanking it accordingly (with a token force defending from that way because he's not stupid), providing a huge advantage to anyone who wants to attack Saruman and knows a good way through the labyrinth.

Re: Jareth's labyrinth in Middle Earth
Ghetto Edit: And probably nobody knows a good way through the labyrinth like Jareth, which he would probably gladly provide to anybody hostile to Saruman if he is hostile to Saruman, in song form while wearing leather pants.

Re: Jareth's labyrinth in Middle Earth
You know.. I had started off writing a replay thinking the Labyrinth appeared next to SURON's tower and not Saruman's?
teach me to read a bit better
Ok so I foresee BAD THINGS happening…
The Goblin Labyrinth in the movie is a magical fairy world of sorts. There were few if ANY dangers there that could kill or harm.
It was made up of generally simple minded lackies of the Goblin King.
Jareth's Magic, such as it was, seemed largely illusionary. Used to twist the minds of others and enthrall them to his will. I cannot recall any instances of "destructive" magic used in the movie.
Saruman would no doubt send a few hundred orcs or so to Investigate. They'll end up slaughtering the more "neutral" denizens of the Labyrinth, while others will probably surrender and beg for mercy (most goblins were shown to be terrible cowards in the movie)
Jareth himself will most likely be "summoned" before Saruman and asked to serve him 'or else'. The Goblin King will either join forces (probably out of mischief, he seems the type) Or use some magic to vanish, and probably try and set up a new Labyrinth in some out of the way place of Middle Earth.
The outcome of "Time" will not change much… Weather The Goblin King joins or not, Saruman's forces will still be defeated at Helms Deep, and his castle will still be overrun by the Ents
