someone(hearnault) explain the destruction in isengard(Sp) to me...

Thats the one part i've never been able to understand... for one how many ents stormed the place? sometimes it seems like about 2 dozen sometimes it seems like thousands of them... and why the hell was all the water everywhere? maybe i read to fast....

I'm not Hernalt, but will I do? I don't know the actual numbers of ents, but there were more than ents destroying the place. The ents were the leaders of the destruction, but they had lots and lots of huorns, which were trees that were becoming ent-like, in that they could move, destroy, etc. The reason there was water everywhere, was that the ents diverted the course of the River Isen to fill up the circle in order to keep Saruman from escaping, and also to put out the fires and disarm Saruman's war machines.

Arwen, I want you to know there's something wrong with your account, every thread you post in becomes corrupt!

This thread still looks funny......

This happened to me once when I forgot to close an html tag in my sig. Better check that, Arwen.

8-D ~™

Arwen, that thing tacked on to your message is from me. You should check your personal options, cause this isn't the only thread your posts have corrupted.

they couldn't REALLY move tho...they could kinda walk around but you couln'dt ever actually see them walking and tearing @#%$ up and stuff...

Better reread the "Flotsam and Jetsam" chapter, because Merry describes them destroying things. Example: Merry says, "Ents and Huorns were digging great pits, making great pools and dams, gathering all the waters of Isen..." Sounds to me like they could do more than walk.

ARRRGGHH! No, you didn't!

this thread is a :Puzzle

I hope you find a way to fix it!

I think I *might* have discovered the problem... Arwen, in your signature try removing the quotation from the link to Hogwarts. Ezboard doesn't like it when you put in quotations, even though that's standard HTML procedure everywhere else :P

I tried that just now. Cross yer fingers!

It didn't work.

There, I deleted the corrupted posts, and the thread is back to normal. It was that quotation mark in your sig that made it act funny.

ahhhh.....much better

Ordinarily, I'd be offended at being deleted. But this time I'm not. Soooo, what were we talking about?

The destruction of Isengard. I think it's cool how they could grow their roots into the stone and break it up--like real trees do, but much speeded up. I am a big tree fan.

Could you hear the stone cracking? Great eh? I hope the movie will have a good sound in this scene.
