| Excellent strategy, and worthy concern for the troll himself. Alas, that brothers die so as these two trolls did; but better dead at this point than seeking out those to kill who happen by. | |

| There are a lot of good things buried in this chapter - Elrohir's internal battle is as strong or stronger than the external battle. I also like his identifying with the troll and the fierceness with which he fights. His concern for his twin and Estel must be nearly paralyzing. You have some real nuggets but I think they're a little buried. I have more of an opinion I would give in private, if you wanted it. Its not too harsh and you could decide if it was of value or not. Just let me know. Author Reply: Thanks for reviewing Nilmandra. I always want to get feedback and I'm always interested in hearing opinions. Thanks again for your interest. peredhil lover | |

| Polishing off the trolls first seems a good plan - you wouldn't want them coming up behind you while you were trying to dig Elladan and Estel out - but I can understand Elrohir's frustration! And I can see his pity for the troll, too. It's not as if the monsters made any conscious choice in their careers - born evil, that's what they had to be. However - the rescue party is now able to get going. And with the shortage of air, that can only be a good thing. Author Reply: Yep, now the rescue party is ready to go full strength. Let's just hope they find them on time. Thanks for the review Bodkin, I appreciate it. peredhil lover | |

| Meanwhile, back at the battle. . . Elrohir has a great sense of discipline to follow Glorfindel's orders and leave his twin and Estel behind, even for a moment. Yet Glorfindel has a point. The danger is not yet over, and must be dealt with before anything else. Put on your own oxygen mask before aiding the child next to you. Finally, Elrohir figured out that he had to bring the troll down before he could kill it. I take it that these Elves don't have a whole lot of experience fighting trolls, or they would have figured this out long ago and worked out a system to trip trolls as soon as the battle began. Author Reply: I think that not only does Elrohir have a great sense of discipline, but he also has common sense, and, despite his desperation to reach his brothers, he can understand the futility of trying to do it on his own. I don't think that the elves fight trolls on a daily or even yearly basis, but they do have some experience. I am sure that they were trying, but I think that tripping a troll is really easier said than done. ;-) Thanks for reviewing, peredhil lover | |

| I liked the conflict between Glorfindel and Elrohir over whether to leave the cave in site and rejoin the battle. They're both obviously horrified by what's happened to Elladan and Estel, but Glorfindel's longer years show as opposed to Elrohir's tighter tie to his brother. I also liked the point that Elrohir and the troll were both fierce in battle because of harm to a brother. Author Reply: Thanks for taking the time to review, daw, and thank you for pointing out what you liked about this chapter. Yes, they are both horrified, but of course, Glorfindel must act like the commander that he is. I hope that you continue to enjoy the story. peredhil lover | |
