O Most Mighty Gollum, you've got it - it's Trotter indeed. Would you like to explain what the puzzling thing actually was, for the benefit of those who couldn't guess?

Anyway, the thread is yours. Well done!

I really need to read the HOME books.

I think the hobbit Trotter was captured and tortured in Barad-Dur, but escaped and had to wear wooden shoes due to the injuries inflicted on his feet. That should be near to the true story, at least, Pitchwife.

Recall the guy who met with a rock?

Anarion? He got killed by a rock during the siege of Barad Dur.

Nope.

Hunthor, Túrin's companion who was killed by a boulder dislodged by Glaurung?

Gollum the Great · 02-02-2009, 01:21 PM

Correct, Inziladun.
