The cave troll started to force it open. During this process, Boromir took a swing at it, but instead of hurting the troll, his sword was notched (showing the troll’s invulnerability to normal weapons). Frodo then stabbed it in the foot with Sting, which easily penetrated the troll’s skin and injured it. The troll withdrew momentarily, allowing the heroes to close and barricade the door. Gandalf then put a spell on the door which would keep it closed, but then the balrog appeared and broke Gandalf’s spell and so on.Disclaimer: this is all by memory. I may have some details wrong.</blockquote>
