A futher idea to consider:
Perhaps the four men of Gondor could have purchased, at great price, four prototype elven rings of power that enabled them to create wonderfully memorizing music (but having totally disregarded the disclaimers and precautionary statements).
Persephone could have “borrowed” Mith-Plant’s ring, having heard that Sauron had a great and abiding interest in vintage jewelry and wishing to make a great first impression on the dark lord.
I think somehow the band of four would not meet their end at the hand (or 8 legs) of Shelob. Music sooths the savage beast, so they say. Surely, some song could be found for such a purpose.
As for scuffy Movie Striders…he did comb his hair in Rivendell. Didn’t you notice? [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
