We have three more places, it seems.

Rikae · 03-28-2009, 07:28 AM

Sam was on the first list - weren't we trying to avoid those?

Groin Redbeard · 03-28-2009, 07:40 AM

I second Caradhras the Cruel and nominate Dain II Ironfoot.

Tuor in Gondolin · 03-28-2009, 09:18 AM

I must say I second Dain II Ironfoot
one of the more remarkable (and generally
overlooked) of dwarves, and the owner
of yet another cool moniker.

Btw, there's this tidbit about dwarf armor related to
him, indicating one reason for dwarf prowess in battle:

Quote:

King of the Lonely Mountain during the War of the Ring. Dain was born in 2767. He was of the line of Durin and was the son of Nain and the grandson of Gror, who led a company of Dwarves to settle in the Iron Hills.
At the Battle of Azanulbizar in 2799, Nain was killed by the Orc leader Azog. Dain, who was only a young Dwarf at the time, avenged his father by cutting off Azog's head with his red axe. Dain then looked through the East-gate into Moria and became aware that Durin's Bane, the Balrog, still lurked there. Dain came away from the Gate with a look of great fear, and he counselled his cousin Thrain that the time had not yet come for the Dwarves to enter Moria.

Dain returned to the Iron Hills where he took over from his father as the leader of the Dwarves there. Among the items wrought by Dain's people were leg-coverings of fine and flexible mesh that only they knew how to make.

so unless there are any major objections to this, such as Rikae with Sam. Does anybody else have a major concern with this? Let us move on and begin to vote. Let's wait at least a few hours to allow people to express their opinion. As much as I love Sam I'm okay if he's not on as I don't know how I will handle two oustings.

Personally I am in favor of no repeats at his point. There are still plenty of characters available.

And I will second Caradhras.

And what, no one likes Gildor enough to second him? He actually had some lines in LotR.

Gordis · 03-28-2009, 01:40 PM

I have seconded Sam, but I have no problem with removing him.
We can choose someone else...
