: Its a nice observation, but dont forget the power of Saruman. Aragorn, crossing the fields of Rohan spoke of some kind of tiering force comming againt the, while giving power and energy to the orcs. It might be that he also could transmit powers of will and enurance to his entire army.: Cheers - Telchar I imagine that Saruman had to do something, somehow focus whatever energizing/fatiguizing power he had, it didn't just unconsciously emmanate from him (I don't think he or Sauron is that powerful, and I also don't recall Eomer saying anything about a strange sense of fatigue -not that he would - but Eomer was the logical target, not three non-descript, possibly nobserved wanderers in grey). In any event on the night in question, March 3-4, Saruman probably was a bit distracted, since some tree-like things were tearing up his precious Isengard!
