*** Additionally, one of the most common jokes about Gandalf\'s moment is this: He\'s not actually trying to pull a HeroicSacrifice or trying to TakingYouWithMe on Balrog. I mean, come on, he almost died and eventually returned as [[CameBackStrong Gandalf the White]], the most BadassGrandpa of fictional works? Yes, he actually already knew that he WILL win against Balrog, regardless Frodo and company are there to aid him or not. So why did he order his companions to escape while he\'s fighting Balrog? It\'s because, by defeating Balrog alone, he will get TONS of ExperiencePoints only for himself, so he can LevelUp from Gandalf the Grey to Gandalf the White. If the Frodo and company were there, then it means the ExperiencePoints would\'ve been shared with them as well so Gandalf with get less points than he wanted. Yes, Gandalf is really a MagnificentBastard. And anyway, this joke is usually only popular among roleplay gamers.
