Dwarves are bigger than Hobbits, shorter than Men. [In reply to] Can't Post

According to Tolkien, Dwarves are on average between four and five feet tall, towering over their tiny friends the Hobbits, who are two to four feet tall, according to the books.

Fili and Kili are relatively young and inexperienced in war, as is Oin. I expect they'll do better in TABA.

Welcome to TORn, Stoneaxe!

Fili has no weapons [In reply to] Can't Post

and he is probably one foot and a half shorter than that Orc ; nonetheless he flung himself at the Orc and he pinned him to the door, thus permitting Bard's daughters to seek refuge under the table.

I won't add anything else...

Oin was quite a fighter in AUJ though... [In reply to] Can't Post

... remember all those goblins he knocked down, spinning his staff around at the bridge in Goblin Town?

Now now Bill, you swore this was a battle between warriors, not a bunch of miss nancies, so warriors is what I brought

Dwarves [In reply to] Can't Post

We'll in The films the hobbit bilbo looks the same height as the dwarves all wrong if you watch the two towers gimli and arogon look just right gimli looks to be 5 feet as arogon looks to be about 6 feet or so the proportions are perfect however in the hobit movies they look really poor all that money spent on smaug Jackson could have got the dwarves right very poor if you ask me

I guess this means Bilbo's just really tall for a hobbit! :) // [In reply to] Can't Post
