Morai - hmm...when his staff broke did it break into jagged pieces? Because if it did, he could kill himself by falling on his staff. Or Gandalf the White but Slightly Vicious could do the honors ("Chosen the way of pain, huh? Well, ain't payback a Warg!") <P>No, strike that. Gandalf would never do anything like that. It still seems better to have Wormtongue killing him; it's hard to see Saruman deciding to sacrifice as penance for his own follies. He doesn't think he should ever suffer anything, because he doesn't think he was wrong; he'd always be trying to talk his way out of things up until the last minute.
