Lord of the Rings- a Question

original thread ↗

Fantasyfreak 05 May 2008
Over the last few days I've been 'watching' LOTRs for the (insert high number here) time while modelling and painting.

One thing that always bugs me about it is when Gandalf fights the Balrog, he gets caught by the whip and is hanging on the ledge, looking at the fellowship, he says....what? ("------- you fools")
Nobody I know has the answer to this, hell everytime I see it he sounds like it's a different word, incomprehensible.

This is where you guys with a high knowledge of Fantasy come in, your thoughts and Knowledge on the matter appreciated :), can anyone clear this up for me?

Thanks, Fantasyfreak.

It sounds crap all like that, but I'm willing to take your word for it, thanks WC :)
I don't know why I didn't look in one of my 3 editions of the book myself :roll: :lol:

Whilst Wildcard has just gave you the answer, for completeness sake, He says "Fly, you fools...", and then lets himself fall into the abyss below the bridge of Khazad Dum :|

After all, painting 100 night goblins is something you do in the morning just before you are off to work.

And I think you missed a 0 when you wrote 11 armies. The correct nr should be 110 armies I would think, based on your painting speed.

Yes, but I think he says "fly" meaning "flee", rather than "fly" meaning "flap those little hobbit wings" :lol:

That is exactly what he means ;)
