>>Okay, I guess that makes sense. but dang, he only whacks it 7-9 times at the most, he'd have to be jumping really high. maybe he's got a pogo stick or something. and aren't the balrogs supposed to be cloaked in fire? well, I suppose his fire resistance is pretty good...

Now, Tipero, a dwarf, couldn't have been much more than the size of an outhouse. Now imagine standing an outhose next to the Empire State Building, or even just a small skyscraper. How does someone fight somethign that much BIG? Is he just whacking it in the toe until it passes out from the pain? does he climb up it's leg and find a more vital organ? If anybody has any idea how it works, please tell me.
