Merry also was reduced to worthlessness by the stroke, but there's no indication that the Witch King was about to jump up and do something.Did Merry get felled by the Witch King explosion? or was he still conscious...It's all impossible to tell really. It does seem very unlikely that Eowyn could have beat the Witch King alone. She didn't really seem to have any skill at arms, just dodging the killing blows and not even very effective at that.Also, isn't the line that the Witchking will not fall to Man? He fell to Merry, Eowyn just finished him off. In the other thread, it comes up that Man in most of the Saga means "human" not "male".The Hobbit (being no Man) felled the witchking with a sword specificially forged to fight the forces of the Witchking. I think the credit is more for him than Eowyn, but Eowyn's part is important also.</blockquote>
