Frodo got stabbed & passed out, and even Aragorn is wondering why they didn't attack again. There is no torch and sword fight that I saw at a glance in the book. Strider even says that "Elbereth" had some effect... (though it really should be drawn in the ground with an athame...)I did check while I had the book out, and all nine were swept away. I didn't bother looking for the mention of their exact status afterwards though.Of course, but it stands to follow. If he's beaten by the river and beaten by Eowyn, and reforms once but not the second time, that would seem strange. Simple enough to assume that the power of the One Ring backed the power of the Nine Rings and that power would vanish with the destruction of the One.It's a matter of Gandalfs capabilities though. Saying he'd beat the Nine, or Sauron, or Gollum, when it's all based on him having beat the Balrog doesn't follow if he just happened to keep the Balrog from unfolding his wings and not hitting the ground at high velocity. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
