Hookbill, you seem to have forgotten an Ecthelion, the one in Gondolin. I haven't heard anything about him fighting trolls, so if any such material exists it must be in HoME. In BoLT however, it is said that Ecthelion and his men killed more orcs in a single attack than all other elves in all other wars altogether, and there might very well have been some trolls there.

Gothmog , the rumour wasn't quite that Ecthelion was in a fight with 100 trolls and killed them all. Rather, in a single battle (might have been the fall of Gondolin) he killed 100.
I believe the reference is in HoME (if it exists at all, that is). It may not be true.

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough, Hookbill the Goomba. I meant Ecthelion the elf, Ecthelion of the Fountain from Gondolin.
When was the attack when Ecthelion and his men "killed more orcs in a single attack than all other elves in all other wars altogether"? At the attack of Gondolin? Quote:
 I'm still a little angry with him though...

Yep, at the battle for Gondolin. A grand day that (with the exception of the whole death of loads of Elves thing...:'() - many new records in slayage set. For instance, Balrogs were practically invincible prior to this, but Ecthelion and all the other brave Elves soon showed that they could be killed...en masse.
Hooray for Elves!!!

Yes, it's in BoLT 2. The Fall of Gondolin is a really great story.

Thanks for all your help. Hasn't read BoLT yet, there's not enough time
 But soon... I keep on going through The Hobbit, LoTR, Sil and Tales of the ME (is it called like that in english?? I've got the swedish version) instead Quote:
 ) Was there more than 2 Balrogs killed at the assault of Gondolin? Did anyone else then Ecthelion and Glorfindel manage to slay one?Once again, thank you!
