Lostgaeriel has just left Hobbiton.
Sting

I don't recall Pippin or Gorbag having hidden identities. So that's not it.

Turambar has almost got what I have in mind. It's not the unconsciousness of the characters. And I'm not sure that Gorbag did pass out. And other characters did lose consciousness . Merry, Faramir? By considering Hint #1 re: suspense, cliff-hanger, you should get it.

HINT #2: It has to do with how certain other characters and/or the reader view(s) these characters in those "battle situations". Whether it's for an instant or for many days/pages.
