It was Merry not Pippin.....<P>Think of it as a team effort, remember in the book merry got his numenoroen(sp) blade back and it had the "bane of the dark lord" accoring to bombadil and he also said it could slay sauron's minions. The stab to the back of the leg Merry gave wasn't enough to kill the witch king but enough to weaken him so he could die. My theory is that the witch king stabbed in the right places would have died instantly, but he would have died from the wound anyway so Eoywon just "made his passing easier" so to speak.<p>[ 8:52 PM January 20, 2004: Message edited by: Gil Galad ]
