What would you have done? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

He should have sent the Balrog on a wild rampage through Gondor. He could have tempted him with promise of, uh, land? Gold? Women? Stranger things have happened. And the Balrog would probably have slaughtered Denethor's army in a matter of moments, before a certain Wizard could come along and save the day.

Wonderful thought, Eomer.

I agree with Saucepan Man. If Orodruin was the only place his precious ring could be destroyed, he should have set a gaurd on it at all times.

I would've kept a guard ten deep around the border of Mordor, with no more than an arm's length between orcs side to side.

But since the Dark Lord considered himself the most powerful and as thought no one could enter the Land Of Mordor ,I would first of all would build a huge fortification around Mount Doom and have orcs keep guard night and day as they did on the Black Gate.

Why doesn't Sauron just buy a couple tons of Demolition Charges from Saruman, and blow up Mount Doom, there we go now the ring can never be destroyed.

Let's go further back in time. During the Battle of Dagorlad, he should have just cheap-shotted Elendil and Gil-Galad, instead of wrestling them fairly. Thrown mud in their eyes or whatever. Because there's no way he should have been slain by those two.

I personally would have fashioned for one of the 9 wraiths armour that looked exactly like mine (Sauron) and sent him out to battle looking exactly like me.
This would make the opponents believe that the quest had failed and the ring had been captured, the mere sight of a wraith looking exactly like Sauron would make most enemies flee.
