Ah, that's what I'd been smelling this whole way. A Balrog of all things. Certainly explains the fiery thing I'd seen moving about in the lower levels before.
As for old Bombadil, don't think that I'm going to write him off just because he voted for Halbarad. I wouldn't put it past him to vote for a fellow traitor in order to save his own hide.
Also, I can't be sure whether that Balrog actually had wings or if that was just the shadows playing tricks on me...
