Wow, fear the trolls! lol, i never pictured a balrog being civil enough to sit down for strategy meetings! The only thing I'm unusre about is what Morgoth said "Cause them great lamentation, making my vengance etc" It seems too...well...sensible. My understanding (which is most likely incorect in several places) was that the longer Morgoth stayed corporeal the less power he had, and the deeper into crazy he fell. I just think of him always as all "Kill eveyrthing that moves!!!!!!" What I mean, i guess, is that it seems from what he's saying that he doesn't expect a down-to-the-last bloodbath, but just making a really really big dent in their forces. I like what that made him seem though, like he's already realized he can't win this war or attrition and has instead just decided, like a cornered animal, to get as many chunks of flesh off his attacker as he can before he dies. And so ends this long-winded review ^^; sorry!

Now that's the pragmatic Gothmog I know and love! :^D  Don't be surprised if this winds up in a future Gothmog and Draugluin comic.  I like Melkor's grand eloquence, "Go forth..."  Very much in character, or at least as I see the character in my more serious dabblings with him (as opposed to the cartoon Evil Ward Cleaver).
