"Okay, okay, I'm terribly sorry," said the Balrog, genuinely terrified of Mellon. "I'll just put you down right here, Hethor." He picked up Hethor and put him back down in the same spot where he was standing before, then continued to wreak havoc on both sides.
Thoronmir saw the orcs coming, and knew he had to do something. He suddenly noticed two orcish swords among the debris on the hillside where he was standing. That gave him an idea. He bent the swords slightly, then took some rope from his pack and tied them to his feet. Using his new "skis" as he called them, he slid down the hillside at incredible speed, firing arrows at the orcs below. He saw several of them collapse as he put away his bow and drew his sword. Crashing into them, he slew several more.
