Will you continue to post battles....or will it be up to the last poster to continue the thread so that it doesn't die or go off topic ?

Ill keept posting new battles so it wont die! Someone may have to take over if i go on holiday though but we will decide then!

Gollumy-Poo.

Yeah Gollum, too clever for Grishnak or whoever that is...

Gollum

so far, Gollum is winning 4-0. Voting will close laster on today(tonight for me )

Well, I would have to side with Gollum as well. Seeing as Grishnak was easily foiled by a tree !!!! Ain't too bright that one...I think Gollum would overpower him with his split personality and have a easy time in defeating Grishnak...not to mention would eat off all of his fingers !

Ok, Gollum is the clear winner in this match with 7 votes, and Grishnak with......well.....nothing!

ROUND 1
MATCH 2

Hama - The door-warden of the Golden Hall of Meduseld
http://www.freewebs.com/lord_ofthe_rings/TTT/TTTHama.jpg


VS.


Gamling The Old - Well not so old in this picture.....
http://www.freewebs.com/lord_ofthe_rings/TTT/TTTGamling.jpg

Are you kidding me ? This wouldn't even be a battle.

All Gamling would have to do is after Hama tells him to surrender all his weapons...tell him that his sword was a elaborate letter opener and he would have no defense against it !


Gamling would then pull out his sword and slash and slice away Hama !!!!

I vote Cave troll!

Well, by the time that Tree Beard finally got out the words that he was going to whoop some but on the cave troll...hours would have passed, and that would have given the troll plenty of time to pull off all his limbs and use the leaves for toliet paper ! Ewwwww....

My vote is for the Cave Troll !

Voting will close in a few hours....as i want treebeard to win so i'll give him a few hours more chance to win your votes!

Treebeard. A cave troll was killed by a few arrows and Treebeard is not only stronger in strength but a lot smarter then a troll.

Well well! It seems we have a tie as my vote goes to Treebeard so they will both go on and we wil see them in te next match!

Smaug! not even a fair fight

I will not be making the deciding vote, so if the next voter votes Smaug he wins, if the next voter votes the Winged Nazgul then i will choose!

Please could somebody vote! This thread is much more exciting when people vote....please dont ignore it!

Smaug. A Fell Beast doesn't stand a chance against Smaug.

Frodo
http://darcy.da.funpic.de/Frodo_Dateien/Frodo8.jpg


VS


Bilbo at his highest (ie, during the Hobbit)
http://www.tuckborough.net/images/Bilbo.jpg


Please note: I would like to see more than one person voting please! lol! It would be much more exciting if more people voted!

Hmmm hard. But Bilbo was very reliant on his ring, I don't know how he would stack up in a battle without it. Frodo wasen't fighting alot either but he was always the more adventures one of them (before either of them had traveled outside the Shire) so that might give him an edge. I would say Frodo, barley.

I vote Frodo!

Bilbo

Ill keep voting goin on for a couple more hours as it is very close and i still havent decided who to vote lol!

Frodo would win.

Glorfindel!

Goldberry isn't really a warrior. So i vote glorfindel.

Originally posted by RvB]Tucker

No she is not, but Goldberry is a mysterious being whose place in Tolkien's mythology isn't easy to establish. She seems to be some kind of river-spirit, though some have conjectured that both Tom and Goldberry belong to the order of the Maiar. So i vote Goldberry


Voting will close tomorow

Yes as you said what she is isn't really established. So it doesn't count uif she wins cause gor all we know she could be just a harmless sirit. She can have absolutly no lethal owers at all.

Goldberry wins definitely..........

Leaflock when he was an ent, not treeish

(Ent of Fangorn Forest. Leaflock was one of the oldest Ents at the end of the Third Age. Leaflock, Skinbark, and Treebeard were the only ones left of the first Ents in Middle-earth. By the time of the War of the Ring, Leaflock had become sleepy and treeish. He stood alone in a meadow and dozed during the summer. At first he would awake in wintertime, but eventually he remained in place year-round. He was covered in leafy hair. )



VS


Quickbeam
http://www.tuckborough.net/images/quickbeam.jpg

(Quickbeam was a tall, supple Ent with smooth skin, ruddy lips, and grey-green hair. At the time of the War of the Ring, he was relatively young for an Ent, though he was still probably several thousand years old. Quickbeam laughed frequently and enjoyed singing. He was considered hasty for an Ent because he had once replied to an elder before he had finished his question. He also drank quickly. Quickbeam was the first Ent to decide to go to war against Saruman, and he participated in the destruction of Isengard. )



VOTE NOW!

Quickbeam. No question

Quickbeam!

haha, quick decisions! I dont know, my opinion is kind of split, but im thinkinh Quickbeam at the mo. Voting will close tomorow

The dwarves will be accompnied with good characteristics to help you make your mind Im so kind lmao

Kili
-played the fiddle
-was the youngest Dwarf on the expedition and he had sharp eyesight
-Kili was on watch in Mirkwood when he spotted the fires of the Wood-elves
-As one of the more active Dwarves, Kili was frequently sent on errands from the camp high on the doorstep


VS


Fili
-Fili had very sharp eyesight.
-Fili helped his host Bilbo Baggins clear away the dishes.
-Fili retrieved the boat from the far bank of the Enchanted Stream by throwing a rope with a hook on the end. The boat had no oars, so Fili came up with the idea of pulling the boat back and forth across the stream using another rope and hook.
-Fili was the first Dwarf whom Bilbo freed from the webs of the Great Spiders and he helped the Hobbit free the others even though he was very ill from the poison. Afterwards, Fili had to cut off most of his beard because of the spider webs stuck in it.
-Later, when the Dwarves escaped from the Elvenking's Halls by floating in barrels down the Forest River, Fili again helped Bilbo free the others

VOTE NOW!

I voted for Fili

I like dwarfs........Kili

Radagast

A surprising deafeat of 5-1 as i vote Luthien!

Match 1
Round 26

Pallando the Blue Wizard


VS


Alatar the Blue Wizard


Please note: Ok, it would seem fair that they both won as we know little about them and we never find out about their adventures. But this piece of info. may influence your descion :

The Valar originally intended to send just three Maiar as emissaries to Middle-earth. Aiwendil (Radagast) was added to this number by Yavanna, and Pallando was taken by Alatar 'as a friend'.

If you want to find anything else about the characters please do, and for this round only, i want to see your views and opinions on the wizards and why you choose them thank you

Well if I read your information correctly... Pallando was selected by Alatar? So Alatar was selected by the Valar, so I think he was the stronger

Alatar!

So.... Alatar wins 2:0?


Next Battle...

Radagast and Gandalf the Grey vs. Saruman the White

that's Dan's job

oh sorry guys. yeah having trouble at the moment actually finding my piece of paper that has all the battles on it but im sure ill find it soon but heres one i remember:

Tom Bombidillo kicks all their asses

Seriously though... tom isnt that good. he can only sing

true. He was as old as the land itself and no evil could hurt him.
plus his singing was what could drive evil away. The only one who could withstand the ring? thats tough!

i go for Wanlimg so its 2-1. voting will close tomorow i found my list

Tom Bombadil

Turin Turambar

(tough one i think) VOTE NOW!

o.O

cant make yor mind up? im still thinking to

ooooo that's a toughy (btw, you spelt Valar wrong )

I vote Tom!

Originally posted by Council#13

lmao thanks:d Voting will close tomorrow

No problem!

I think Tom also. If he beat the barrow-somethings then he's gotta be pretty tough. Also, if he's rumored to be a Valar or Maia spirit, he's highly magical. But Turin will put up a good fight he he killed a dragon. Very tough fight, but in the end, Tom wins

Tom wins 3-0

Im going away for a couple of days so there will be three matches which will close next saturday. Battle of ME Place is also going to start tonight and the first one will close on the same day.
