(seeing Ancalagon's corpse)



Me: Holy crap Earendil?! You killed it?! How?!



Earendil: Wait, didn't anyone see?



Me: No, everyone just saw your ship fly up into those thick storm clouds and the monster followed you and you were both gone for a whole day. We could hear explosions and roars from way up in the sky, but other than that we didn't see anything until that thing came crashing back down.



Earendil: So you're telling me that I just won the most amazing and epic battle in recorded history, but nobody else actually saw it because of some stupid clouds?



Me: Can you at least describe what happened?



Earendil: (A tear rolls down his cheek and he has a look of despair) It was too awesome for words.
