++Galadriel - I have stand up for my namesake!! (Altariel=Galadriel) ++Eowyn - A courageous and strong girl? She must live!! -Balrog - Yes. I killed the little bastard.
The Balrog, burns out. In an effort to safe its life for future battles, Galdalf flips out the C02 and sprays it mighty good. This however, knocks out the Balrog and it breathes in so much C02, that it suffocates and dies a pitiful death. The End.

The rule has been two -- and one ++, although there has been some leniency in the past for an occassional variation.

Farimir walks in on Merry and Pippin making eyes at each other yet again, and kills them, then himself... because he feels like he is trapped in the last 30 min of ROTK for the rest of his life.

Death of King Theoden: It had been a long ride from the Dwimmorburg, past the Druadan Forest of Ghan-Buri-Ghan and his wild men. But at last the Rohirrim, sons of Eorl, had arrived, and passed the Ranmas Echor that surrounded Minas Tirith in a protective embrace.
Down upon the Fields of the Pellennor he could see the Gondorians fighting for their lives, but not only for their own, for the lives of all free peoples of Middle Earth. For if Gondor should fall, there would be no refuge for men on Earth, and so too would the rest of the peoples of the world fall. Theoden was not stupid, though one could easily call him less sophisticated than the greater peoples. No, he was not a man of Westernesse, nor a Noldorian Elf out of the western sea. He was not even one of the Naugrim, the dwarves who live for centuries beneath their mountain strongholds. He was a man, descendent of the Edain from long ago, and yet a man of kingly wisdom and courage. His ancestors, great kings like Helm, Baldor and Brego, Fengal and his father Thengal, all held the same responsibility that Theoden did. He knew, as they did, it was his duty to protect his people, and to come to the aid of their distant brethren, the men of Gondor.
When he saw Minas Tirith under siege, he knew he would meet his death upon the walls of the great city. But that did not matter to him. The Rohirrim did not fear death, so long as that death is earned in the service of battle, in defense of their people. It didn't take long for his people to come to the same realization, and in that moment, a fierce anger and rage burned within their hearts. Their fire of spirit ignited upon their swords as they charged down the field. The pikes and poles of the orc army laid bare to smite their horses, but the union of horse and rider was too powerful, the Rohirrim had perfected a mastery of horsemanship, and no Morgul blade, no matter how fell, would unseat a Rohirric rider bearing down in such a rage.
Theoden led the charge, fearing no darkness, no beast, no blade. His army destroyed the front ranks, and drove deep into their lines before turning to reform. Eomer and his eored were far to the south by this time. Elfhelm and Hama were leading their eoreds against the bulk of the enemy ranks. That left Theoden with only a small number of personal guards when he saw them approach. Prince Imrahil issued forth from the broken gate of Minas Tirith and was immediately overrun by Haradrim and Easterling cavalry, the only horsemen the enemy was fielding.
Theoden rallied his men and charged the enemy, in hopes of freeing the Prince. His hope waned when he saw the White Swan banner slip, then fall to the ground. Herugrim cracked and screamed as he slew the enemy, knocking them from their horses. Quickly, Imrahil and his knights were freed and together they charged against the cavalry of the enemy. But they were surprised in that moment, and the captain of the Haradrim came to bear against them, knocking Theoden from Snowmane and killing his guards.
Theoden heard a great Rohirric horn wildly blowing in the distance, calling the Eorlingas back to help their king. But no horn could save him now. He heard Imhrail cry for his knights to rally to the King of Rohan, but that too was overlate. The captain of the Haradrim drew forth his fell sword and smote Theoden's shield, wounding him deeply. The captain smiled, but his lips were soon frozen by the cold bite of Herugrim, avenging his master's death. But it was too late, the Haradrim captain fell dead, but Theoden too was gone. Already he felt his spirit being called away by the Kings of old, and soon he slipped away from Middle Earth, ever remembered as the savior of Gondor and Rohan, a hero to all free peoples of Middle Earth.
I must say Lyrhawn, I rather enjoy your deaths. They are quite long, but quite eloquent. Though it will be a pain to try to put all of them together in one post at the end. haha.

Eomer -- Eowyn -- Galadriel ++ At this point my votes are a weird admixture of power, face time, and overall importance to Middle Earth.

Galadriel had known that the Ringbearer and the rest of the nine of the Fellowship would soon be passing through her domain. While all the Elves of Middle Earth knew that the Lord Celeborn was ruler of Lorien, the Noldorin Elves of Lothlorien knew who really wore the pants in that relationship, and it was the Lady Galadriel.
The Fellowship had spent many days in the trees of Caras Galadhon before Galadriel got around to meeting with Frodo. She would have met with him sooner, but there was a new mirror on ebay she had been bidding on, and you know how it is with those last minute bidders snaking something out from under you. She hated that.
But finally she met with him, and brough him before the Mirror of Galadriel. All around Frodo was the stream that ran through the small garden, which Galadriel used to fill her magical mirror. The mirror was her most prized posession, and coincidentally was also her first ebay purchase, making her a lifelong repeat customer.
After Frodo saw his vision, he offered The One Ring to Galadriel. Galadriel reached down under the mirror and flipped a switch, which turned on a scary Elven lights show that scared Frodo witless as she railed on about dark queens and melodramatic threats. Suddenly, in the middle of her speech, the lights went out. She flicked the switch off and on again, but no dice.
Frustratedly she bent over the mirror to examine the switch herself, but in doing so, she tipped over the pitcher used to fill the mirror with water. It fell over and drenched the switch in water, which proceeded to short out. Galadriel wasn't quick enough sadly, and caught her Ring of Power on the switch, electrocuting her to death.
I decided to make it short(er) and make an attempt at parody, rather than long and storylike. To appease those that didn't like the novel length deaths It could have been better, but I wanted to get it done today, and thus rushed it.

I like all of the people left ... so I wouldn't mind any of them winning. Ergo, my new strategy is to even the field. hehe

I stayed away from this for a while because I didn't like how people weren't following the "two --, one ++" rule, but now that we seem to be back on track I'll kill Eomer before anyone can save him!
Sam is rather important if I do say so myself. Not the out and out hero, but then I don't think there is one clear cut hero in the books. As is demonstrated by the closeness of this game. hehe

Death of Eowyn: Faramir commiting suicide, rather than come to the Houses of Healing, put a serious crimp in Eowyn's plans. First Aragorn rejects her for some Elvish chick, now Faramir's out of the picture. What does a Witch King slayer have to do to find a man?! Don't even talk to me about that brat Prince Imrahil. These were her thoughts as she wandered out of the gardens and onto the battlements, idly chewing some kingsfoil. So distracted was she that she didn't notice where she was going, tripped and fell from the top of the wall of the inmost circle of Minas Tirith, plunging hundreds of feet to her death.

What happens with the two -- and one ++ rule if there are only two contestants left? I propose we go to a single -- vote if that situation arises.
