Funny / The Fall of Gondolin

• In the original version, one of the Gondothlim guards says a short poem about all of Gondolin's many names, including Gondobar, Gondothlimbar, Gwarestrin, and Gar Thurion, and ends it with basically saying "But we usually call it Gondolin".
• When Tuor introduces himself as Huor's son and Ulmo's Messenger to Elemmakil, the Elf decides he will take him to the Warden of the Seventh Gate because he does not get paid enough for this.
• When Ecthelion confronts Tuor, the Man replies the Lord of the Fountains should not hinder the messenger of the Lord of Waters.
• In one version, Maeglin tries to buy his freedom by revealing Gondolin's location, and Morgoth answers by laughing that he already knows that, and "Stale news will buy nothing."
• Maeglin had tasked Salgant with keeping Tuor distracted while he took advantage of the mayhem to kidnap Idril during the battle. When Maeglin begins the invasion, though, Salgant loses his nerve, flees back to his home, and literally crawls back into his bed.
