In reply to "Hot, crispy nice hobbit ".
I'm not sure about that. Did Trolls ware clothes? I don’t think I remember reading of that anywhere... You may be confusing an image often given to trolls in interpretations of The Hobbit. But as you say, if they did ware clothes I'm not sure if they would have been turned to stone, after all when water boils at 100'C the container its in does not boil also. (Unless its something stupid like chocolate, so we’ll assume its glass for all you smarty people who point out little mistakes… I personally am one of them so I like to cover my tracks ![]() That’s not perhaps a good analogy, but I can’t think of a better one now. Besides, if 'Magic' is intelligent I don’t suppose it would bother whether it turned the clothes to stone also. It was the trolls themselves that were of the breed of Melkor not the clothes. Gandalf declares to them Quote:
The trolls Bilbo met were stone trolls, that name given to them as they turned to stone. Tolkien never says that other trolls do so... But then again in roast mutton it suggest that this is for all trolls, Quote:
The encyclopaedia of arda has this to say on the subject of stone trolls; Quote:
The light of the Silmarils, as said, contains the same light made from the two trees, Earendill's star, as you know, id the Silmarill upon his brow, so the pile of Galadriel too possesses the same light. So the theory of that being a death device for Trolls is a sound one. P.S. "Hide Da boss is coming!" one troll, "Howdy, troll, how’s it shakin?... oh no, not again!" Morgoth... That’s how I assume that would go ![]()
