User blog comment:Greenberet69/Theodan vs Seneschal Varel/@comment-143604-20111013001447

Despite playing Awakening five times through, I had to grasp to remember who Varel was. Herp derp duh derp. Anyway, Theoden doesn't have a prayer. His sword has limited reach, his bow skills aren't so great on his own and the Rohirrim fight on horseback, and removed from that they're not really that great of warriors. Plus Varel is wearing some crazy tough armor. That said, Theoden is a much smarter warrior, who leads his troops much better and with far more training and experience than Varel. It's enough to bring him closer to victory, but enough to stop him from being off to meet the Maker. Varel takes this round.
