Thanks for saying that Eomer, I was wondering why no one was putting that fact into their posts!

The tower that was occupied by orcs when Frodo and Sam were in Cirith Ungol, were built by the men of Gondor to defend Mordor ages back, so that the destroyed Sauron wouldn't get back in, to put it like that.

I'm not sure whether they knew about Shelob at all, as they could have had other ways to move around, but it says in LotR that Shelob cannot be killed by the force of any man, and the only reason why Sam managed to stick his sword in her is because she was the one pressing down. Well, it was something along those lines anyway, I'm sorry that I can't give you an exact quote. Well, my point is that I believe Shelob couldn't be killed, as there was no one left in Middle Earth that had the power to kill her.
