I'd say, that nine Nazgul would be darm much harder to kill than 900 goblins, plus their special powers and aura of fear.

For one, the goblins were scared stiff of the Nazgul. They held more power; magical; whereas goblins have mere strength; stamina; to go on.

However, 900 spears, swords and arrows would do a lot of damage.
And being mauled by Wargs is kinda tough too.

I simply meant it's harder to keep your eyes on 900 goblins than it is to keep track of 9 nazgul.

I think it would be easier to stay alive with the nazgul, but not nescessarily easier to defeat them.
After all, they have some pretty glaring weaknesses. (fire, water, light)

Thank you for articulating what I failed to verbalize.

I can`t imagine a maia being killed by all the goblins in the world, so much for 900.

When Maia become incarnate they can be harmed.("killed")
Melkor was the most powerful of the Valar and Fingolfin caused him seven wounds that NEVER healed. Sauron was "killed " by Gil Galad and Elendil. Glorfindel and Ecthelion slew Maia. Saruman was killed by wormtongue. Finrod slew a great werewolf ( an Maia) This is Tolkien's world not one like DnD or other high fantasy worlds.

I think that the most imporntant part on Afro-elf's list is Sauruman. I was an Istari, the same as Gandalf. All it takes is one good strike to take an Istari. Surrounded on all sides, the dwarves would die fairly quickly. Then Galdalf would be surrounded and alone. He can't guard all sides at once. That is why one oponent is sometimes easyer. You know where all of him is. You don't know where every threat is while surrounded.

I guess that maia could been killed, as Saruman, but if they get out of their "body" they can't be defited. Sauron got out of his body after he lost to Huan in the bottle and when he got in to a new body he was still heart. |

don't you think......
don't you think that if Gandalf is a wizard that he could do something like cast a spell or something. He barely does any magic. I should think that there would be some kind of spell to save them if the eagles had not come.

Gandalf was a maia. The Valar wanted to bring to ME someone who could fight and win Sauron. They brang the maiar in bodies and because they were in a body they were wicker then usaully. Saruman, Radagast, Sauron and Gandalf were all maiar.
