| I like it that you have made Grima such a capable and cunning evil character. He really does have a great plan. The tunnel is camouflaged AND guarded, he has high-value hostages to ensure his safety, and he is well-supplied. Too bad his control over his Dunlendings is slipping. And a great Eowyn angst scene. While nothing personally BAD has happened to Eowyn yet, witnessing Elfhelm's whipping and being tied and blindfolded to a bed and left to THINK about what might be coming is almost as bad. Author Reply: I think a story cannot succeed if the villain is weak. The stronger and more cunning the villain, the more you force your hero to work, and in the end, you will let him shine. I will admit freely though that it can be hard to counter the smart villains measures; I sure busted a braincell or two trying to come up with (halfway) believable scenario of how the Rohírrim would act against the snake. And yes, I'm sure being forced to watch as a person you love and respect is being tortured can very well destroy you, even if the object of the hurting is not oneself. | |

| Again - I don't agree with the Rohirrim thinking ill of Gondor when Boromir, in the Council of Elrond, speaks so highly of them. "Nor is it now, I will swear," said Boromir. "It is a lie that comes from the Enemy. I know the Men of Rohan; true and valiant, our allies, dwelling still in the lands that we gave them long ago." Author Reply: Like I said below, I think Boromir's and Denethor's view of certain things were altogether different... anyway, since it is my AU, blame everything you don't like on the author (grin). | |
