The terrifying moments of the quest: how scared would you have been? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'm ok with giant spiders and large bugs, it's just large reptiles that scare me. I think I could have gone through most of what the Fellowship went through, because I'm the type that tends to repress emotions in the face of duty. Even if I'm scared silly, or so darn tired that I could fall asleep with my head pillowed on the Book of Mazarbul in Moria, I would have kept plowing on.

But the one moment that would have truly terrified me is the charge of the Rohirrim at the Battle of Pelennor Fields. Just seeing that line of Orcs get closer, and closer, and closer, and having to deal with that anticipation, and the knowledge that it's too late to back out now, would have scared me to the extent of needing a change of underwear!
