    Gandalf woke the Balrog.

    It’s an abandoned mine, things are going to fall and make noise from time to time and they’re probably used to it.
    You know what doesn’t happen all the time in a mine?
    People don’t yell “Fool of a Took!” In the language of your sworn enemy at the top of their lungs.

      Yeah and I feel like the Balrog could sense the presence of a Maiar nearby.

      But maybe that’s just a Star Wars Force thing, I don’t really know how magic works in LOTR.
