[QUOTE="Robbert Raets, post: 764957, member: 8250"] Okay, this is out of the book, I'll have to check my DVD for any differences in the movie later. Player: "A Balrog, Now I understand what the DM is up to. What an Evil encounter! And I am already out of high-level spells." DM: " The dark figure steaming with fire races towards you. The Orc yell and pour over the stone gangways behind it. Other Player: "I blow the Horn of Gondor!" Others laugh in a juvenile mood. Third Player: "That always cracks me up." DM: "Um... the Orcs stop dead in their tracks, awed by the challenge, but the Balrog pushes on undaunted, giving them greater strenght of will. They continue."
