Anyone have the actual quotation from The Return of the King when Merry stabs the Witch King? --Ted C 17:06, 19 October 2006 (EDT)

"But suddenly he too stumbled forward with a cry of bitter pain, and his stroke went wide, driving into the ground. Merry's sword had stabbed him from behind, shearing through the black mantle, and passing up beneath the hauberk had pierced the sinew behind his mighty knee."
The Return of the King, The Battle of the Pelennor Fields

There you go :) Quotes are definitely something we need more of, I'd like to have a quote on every article. --Hyarion 17:15, 19 October 2006 (EDT)

Seems like there was more to it than that. Isn't there a line about it breaking the spell on his invisible flesh, or some such? Maybe around when Eowyn throws her shot? --Ted C 17:20, 19 October 2006 (EDT)
Hm, not that I can find. The rest goes on a bit about the Witch-king crying and vanishing and the swords disappearing but nothing really related to the Dagger, the above quote is probably the best. --Hyarion 17:30, 19 October 2006 (EDT)
If memory serves, there's more on the WiKi in the chapter The Council of Elrond. I could be wrong, though ... --Earendilyon 17:32, 19 October 2006 (EDT)
Whoa! Hyarion, look back at the part about the swords disappearing. Doesn't Merry think something about the maker of that blade would have been pleased to know what it accomplished? --Ted C 17:44, 19 October 2006 (EDT)
