'Have you ever used one of these things?' Glorfindel asked, holding out his halberd. 'When it charges you let it hit the edge, then you move the weapon with it. As it comes closer you retract the polearm, that way it stays stuck inside the creature but doesn't just bend and snap under the pressure. It might not stop it, but it will hurt it much more than anything else we've got. Put the swords out there, they won't be able to stop its charge either, and they won't even cause it much damage.

'If polearms are at the front then the swords can move out from either flank and attack it from the side, retreating behind the safety of the polearms when they need to. Look, whatever we're doing, we need to decide quickly, before that thing decides we are worth the effort of taking a closer look.'
