narfforc has been trapped in the Barrow!
What else floats on water?

If they floated would it be possible to make a bridge out of them.

Yep, probably HOMM
I remember 2 or 3 years ago I actually made a map of "Middle-earth" with the HOMM map editor
I had the Inferno as Barad-dur, and Necropolis as Minas Morgul for example...
Unfortunately I lost that file sometime when I deleted some stuff

Hey! I once did a Saruman campaign for HOMM3, he started with Tower and in the first mission he had to collect 50 uruk-hai (upgraded Orcs) around in the Misty mountains. Unfortunately, I lost it as well... and I was also making a pretty large map for Beleriand with all its realms...

*ahem* looks if there isn't a chat skwerl around...

First, I don't think it would necessarily need to be a plot hole, even though it is mentioned in UT, I supposed that "ford made by the remnants of a bridge" wouldn't necessarily mean impassable barrier, even though Boromir lost a horse there, let's face it, the Ringwraith horses were well-trained and who knows how good the ford was...
And for the powers, I just think they'd be just really really unhappy (if such a word can be used for the Ringwraith), probably couldn't shriek (even with incorporal mouth, but full of water), but the fear could be still the same... imagine you are swimming around the shore, then suddenly you feel somewhat nervous, look around and then something touches your leg... you look down, and in the moving water you see some sort of black cloth... but it moves... it starts to move up, breaks the water, a loud shriek comes... well, nothing I'd like very much to experience, I'll tell you.
