remember who killed Smaug? Bard the Bowman!

Let's see...and who killed Glaurung when he attacked the Elf fortress Nargothrond? Turin! Bard the Bowman and Turin are both "Weak Men." It seems the Elves can't deal with dragons themselves.

How many dragons did the Elves kill at Gondolin, huh? Most of 'em, anyway, it was the Balrogs that did that city in. Anyway, Turin was a Hero and therefore the laws of reality do not apply to him, and Bard was Destined to kill Smaug, obviously, since he's rightful king of Dale.
