I don't think that Thror's beard would have been severed unless there was something solid underneath it to prevent it from just getting pushed out of the way by the sword-stroke. Perhaps his head was cut off on a block with his beard moved out of the way. Although I imagine that it would be a big insult to a Dwarf to have his beard cut so Azog may have done that with the intent to insult.

Obsessive?! Who's obsessive!?! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Edit from a couple hours later: Duh! Stupid me was thinking of Nain when I first posted. Must learn to pay closer attention.
