Narsil vs Excalibur, choose your weapon. Can't Post

In the Fire Swamp, you are confronted with angry, rabid R.O.U.S. (rodents of unusual size) attacking you from every angle. So which weapon do you choose? The one that some watery tart lobed at you, or the one that has been piecemealed together and looks by it’s length, that someone was overly compensating for something?
Me, I’m hobbit size so, I’m going with the watery tart's sword.

May your beer be laid under an enchantment of surpassing excellence for seven years!
~~~~~~~~Gandalf~~~~~~~
Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government!

I dunno... [In reply to] Can't Post

...you could skewer an awful lot of rats on Narsil before having to clean them off.

ROUS???? NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! [In reply to] Can't Post

*runs the other direction screaming*

Seriously though, I'd have to choose Narsil. Even against ROUS, there isn't too much of a difference between Narsil and Excalibur. The fact is that Narsil was made by elves and that alone makes it pretty cool.

Can I choose Broken Narsil? [In reply to] Can't Post

Full-sized Narsil would tip me over and the ROUS would get me quite easily. With it knife-sized, however, I'd have the day! :D

I think Excalibur. [In reply to] Can't Post

It's better in size for tight battle maneuvers. And I'm partial to the beloved sword.Tongue

Dagonet,
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shdows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

I like the extra length of narsil. Though I like Excalibur beter from the literary point.

And I don't remember the wielder of Excalibur being assailed by Sauron the Deceiver Tongue

I'm going to go with Narsil/Anduril...it has a great length and also a certain grace to it, an elven grace that an over-sized rodent could scarcely comprehend, I'd have them fleeing in any direction that didn't bring them unto the edge of the blade Smile

nk it did... [In reply to] Can't Post

I don't know why she loves me, but she says she does.
