[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] And when you're riding along and come upon some Orcs, or Nazgûl or other unforseen enemy, what do you do? Say, 'Wait a minute guys, while I fish around in my pack for my helm, and I'll be right with you. I know it's here somewhere.'? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

See, I'm not convinced my first idea of Boromir packing his helm on his way from Rivendell back to Gondor was all that valid. If he had it, he must have worn it. It's like a motorcycle helmet or bicycle helmet or hard hat or a PFD (personal flotation device) or a parachute. Since it can save your life, there's no point in having it if you don't wear it. When you need it, it will likely be out of reach. (Sorry, it's the risk-reducing engineer in me!)

Now where did Telchar get to, anyway? He started all this mess. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
