Lord of The Rings: Gandolf's Staff
This is nawing on me:
In The Fellowship of The Ring, Gandolf is "delayed" by Saromon (forgive me if I mis-spelled his name), and his staff is taken. However, once they reach the elves, he is shown in a scene with his staff while the council bickers over who should destroy the ring.
Any thoughts?

I guess I should read the book... Out of curiosity, what did happen in the book?

Only a foolish wizard wouldn't have a contingency staff.

@IWishIKnew I haven't read it in a while myself, I prefer early Tolkien (the Lost Tales etc). Just took a look - Saruman says he's no longer white, asks Gandalf to join, locks him up on the top of Orthanc, then Gwaihir shows up and carries Gandalf off to Edoras, as he said "I was sent to bear tidings not burdens".
No staff mentioned.
And yes, read the book, for Tom Bombadil's sake.

@Cubbi - you bring up the enigma of the century....exactly who or what is Tom? Tolkien's God incarnate?
