Well, I would fight alongside the following people in the following cases.<P>Theoden: If I wanted to be inspired to victory and beside the bravest men I'd ever known (glorious, but impractical, considering he's the Witch-King's target)<P>Aragorn: If I wanted safety. That guy would kill every orc who even gets near him or me.<P>Gimli: If I wanted a smart-aleck comment about everything to keep me in a good mood while slicing orcs.<P>Legolas: If I just wanted to watch.<P>Gandalf: If I wanted cryptic in-battle messages or sudden changes between optimism and pessimism.<P>Eowyn: I wouldn't know it was her, so that's pointless.<P>Eomer: Again, If I wanted to be safe. He's a good fighter, not as good as ol' Strider, but still good.
