Doug, what is a mattock? I think ganadlaf mentions, in the appendicies, that when Dain fell before Erebor, he wielded his axe 'as mightly as he did in his youth'. Dain, is my favourite Dwarf, BTW. Killing Bolg before he even reached a 'grown-up' Dwarven age is amazing.(I think he was 40 something, though Thorin also defended himself with a piece of a Oak tree, hence Oakenshield.) Dain was 250 when he died right? And wasn't his grandson supposed to have been Durin VII and last?
