<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Hmm... are you positive that he had a hole in his shirt after the attack?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I just now got the chance to re-watch the scene in FOTR, and Frodo does indeed have a darkly outlined hole in his shirt on the right side of his chest (his right) that would roughly coincide with the "eye" scar shown above. The only problem with that is the cave troll obviously hit him lower and more central than that! And I also think he would not bleed from a wound inflicted where the mithril protects him. As I recall from the book, it leaves a nasty bruise. That would be one heck of a nasty bruise, though!Cheers, LytaP.S. I forgot to congratulate you on becoming a Deathless Sun, Finwe! Cheers again!
