I'm still not sure whether we want the singular or plural for the Balrog(s) in this section. Since Rog is no longer killing one, one reason for the change to singular is gone. But if we revert to the plural here we must also do so in FG-B-02.

I would rather retain the plural in this part because, as you have said, there is no Rog slaying a Balrog and it would seem more valiant that he made Balrogs retreat in that battle, than instead of one. There is the plural in the original
Fall of Gondolin also. So I would change FG-B-02 to plural too.
I like your change better. I would like to receive more input from the other members regarding this change, if it's going to go foward and do you think that the matter of the name "Rog" should be treated here or in a separate thread.
Also we have Findegil's ideas about the Mechanical Monsters that require some revisions to our text.
