The Troll blowing teh war horn has clearly tickled our collectors fancy in the first round but will it be able to sway enough undecided members to continue and build on that support for the final round. It has two strong contenders. This vote is an open vote and runs until the start of November.
Please comment on why you like your idea, even if you had not previously voted or submitted it.

Seems a perfect opportunity for a "Paths of the Dead" Elladan to win, and thereby take a first step towards the do-it-yourself death of "Baldor vignette" that I proposed a couple of months ago.

Are there undead trolls in middle-earth?

Are there undead trolls in middle-earth? Hopefully only dead ones....  |

Exactly. They're ALL made of stone, aren't they? And therefore, theoretically, all undead.....If they're not, then I'm going to have to find a taller tree to hide in....

Or if something is 'Un-dead' does that not mean therefore it is alive? |

Yes, I've always wondered about the logic of that. But that's good old Westron for you – provides about twenty ways of saying anything, at least half of which mean the exact opposite of what they actually say!

But aren't the Un-dead just shades, spirits, ghosts?
The trolls were made in mockery of the Ents, right?

The excellent Internet "Tolklien Gateway" site says the Undead were "beings whom once had been alive (often Men) but which had been bestowed with an unnaturally prolonged existence. All such creatures seem to have been associated with Evil."

Well, important is to have them in metal and NOT alive! At least the big ones. The little ankle biters I can cope with. |

Master Elladan the torch bearer finds his way through the dark.  |

It's not over yet.  43 voters in the first round, so there's still a chance for a tie  But only for a few moments more..... you know what happens after the discovery of Baldor's corpse: A chill blast comes and the light of the torches is gone... |

On a more sane issue, I hope that all the voters in Bree vote sensibly next month, whether for the Bree general election or simply in order to bring the whole ridiculous Brexit fiasco to an ignominious end. Bags that I get to shoot at least one dim politician in the process, idealy Boris.

Yes. Not sure which to try first. Ideally we should have Baldor next, so that Aragorn can be correctly posed to be leaning over him.
