Sting

Nope. The cave troll "stabbed" Frodo on his other side, definitely not anywhere near his shoulder. I think that Shelob might have gotten some part of the stinger through the mithril. If you have a point that can fit partially through the chain mail, and if you apply enough pressure, you can cause a rather nasty-looking wound, possibly even like the one that Frodo had.<P>There's another thread on this subject, in this same Forum, called "Branded in the Tower of Cirith Ungol."<p>[ 10:05 AM January 20, 2004: Message edited by: Estelyn Telcontar ]
