[QUOTE=Morsul the Dark]Im making my own mini fanfic with avvies so to speak First I was here then defeated then I returned now I am becoming more powerful I am now Morsul the Balrog Tamer

at any rate

1)S
2)A
3)M
4)w
5)I
6)Sounds like Arkansa if you ask me...hmm Ill need to think about this one for a bit while I search for another M seeing how everyone prefers that...
7)Eorl

[The Perky Ent]

BTw Morsul, the rules say whoever says who it is can go, but not until all the letters are solved. I think you have a clear idea who it is, but since you haven't said anything....

BTW, the arkenstone is this giant, bright, gem from The Hobbit. Hard to miss.

Also, not Eorl. A much, much, much later descendant!

[Morsul the Dark]

SAMWISE

I thought I had to answer all of the questioon I know it's from the Hobbit but I dont know what it sounds like

so i can go right?

[The Perky Ent]

Not until you answer 6 and 7 :D What do you mean, smells like?

The hint is That which the arkenstone was said to have come from


What does that have to do with smell?

[Morsul the Dark]

i didnt say smells like...whered i type that i read my posts they both say sounds
never mentioned smell :( ??

SAMWI

6)still thinking
7)Elfwine?

[The Perky Ent]

6) Ok...
7)Just a tad earlier!

[Morsul the Dark]

SAMWI-E

6)ok I know its an S but I see nothing that sounds like Arkenstone that starts with an S
7)Eomer

[The Perky Ent]

7 is correct! 6 really isn't that hard. Think what the arkenstone is, and then think what's very similar to it. Think similar. Hint, the thing is the reason for an ages worth of wars! I don't know if it can get more obvious than that!

3)
4)Iarwain Ben-adar
5)
6)Oakenshield
7)

[The Perky Ent]

[Morsul the Dark]

[Morsul the Dark]

3)Lobelia sacksville-baggins?

[Morsul the Dark]

7)Ruling Ring?

[The Perky Ent]

[The Perky Ent]

VALINO

Just one more! What is the dispute causer among the three? Read the hints carefully, and think.

[Morsul the Dark]

valinor (already said) OK i guessed it twice now

but just so Im clear even if Im not the one to get the next letter I still go right?

[The Perky Ent]

Morsul, you will go next, but not until 7 is solved :D Ironic isn't it ;)

[Morsul the Dark]

Just making sure I do not know 7...

7)
living thing not a person...one of three.....minds

Roick dont know the spelling but its the crow that help the dwarves in the HObbit

[The Perky Ent]

nope, but you have the right idea with animals. Another hint was that there was three minds, but two people. So, if you know the person, think of an animal that person interacts with, with the other person!

[Firefoot]

Rabbits? Gollum, Smeagol, and Sam?

[The Perky Ent]

Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner! Yes, it is rabbits! R! Valinor! Time to award prizes: Firefoot, for getting the right answer, you receive a simaril! I found it while fishing! It's very shiny, so you better wear shades! As for you Morsul, your prize is getting to pose the next questions!

Osgiliath?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Another favorite thread of mine. If nobody minds I'd like to pose a new question here? Familiarity with Saucepan's cryptic techniques will be helpful.

1. there’s one for meat, and one for scrambling the short world contained.

2. Legolas = young lady lawyer takes a shot in the dark

3. Iris = Deep purple sword-bearer of Ithilien

4. Ye gods! It's Elton John’s single sensational sister

5. Airy entrance for merpeople, and "well met" at that

6. Beer Mona! I’ve been lonely far too long.

7. Boy precedes one small ball walking backwards.

Good Luck and happy decoding.

Sophe

[Firefoot]

I'm glad you've resurrected this thread - I wouldn't call myself good at these but they're fun to try to figure out anyway.

2 - Legolas? Young lady - lass, lawyer - ?, and Legolas took a shot in the dark when he shot at the Nazgûl's steed over the Anduin.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Yes, It most certainly is Legolas. And I must say, I pillaged the clue from Phrim earlier in the thread. Young Lady Lawyer = Legal-lass ;).

I'll edit in the correct answers as they're given in my original post.

Sophia

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

a clue or two?

1. is the hardest clue in the game
3. is a straight clue and has nothing to do with the band Deep Purple ;)
4. appropriate song title should provide a substantial clue. Original clue has been modified.

[the phantom]

Don't have much time, but I might have something for number three.

3. Deep purple sword-bearer of Ithilien

This text can be found in LOTR when the hobbits are passing through Ithilien-
iris-swords stood in ranks about it
So, could 3 be "iris"?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Indeed.

[the phantom]

It's Elton John’s single sensational sister
The only thing I can think of is that one song of his "Your Sister Can't Twist (But She Can Rock'n'Roll)".

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

sorry, not that one. :smokin:

[edit:] if it helps, "sister" is not an allusion to the song, but part of the straight clue. And perhaps the clue should be worded "Ye gods! It's Elton John's single, sensational sister." (Note, comma added)

[Turambar]

#4 Nessa?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

The Elton John song in question being "Tiny Dancer". ;)

Hi Turambar.

Relisted questions and answers:

1. there’s one for meat, and one for scrambling the short world contained.

2. Legolas = young lady lawyer takes a shot in the dark

3. Iris = Deep purple sword-bearer of Ithilien

4. Nessa = Ye gods! It's Elton John’s single sensational sister

5. Gildor = Airy entrance for merpeople, and "well met" at that

6. Beer Mona! I’ve been lonely far too long.

7. Labadal = Boy precedes one small ball walking backwards.


Sophia

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Is the password Glingal?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

...because I'm pretty sure he had it.

But yes, that is the password. Once all the clues have been worked out the thread will be yours Nilp.

Sophia

[the phantom]

It's okay, King Nilp.

I wouldn't have taken the thread anyway. I couldn't justify it considering I can't solve any of the mini clues.

(but, if I have the time this afternoon to think and I'm able to solve a couple clues- then you'll be in trouble :p )

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

And then yield the thread to me! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! http://www.geocities.com/louis_martian/smilies/evil.gif

Sorry, people. I had trouble solving the clues, but _LIN___ just beckoned to me (must be all those days at PoF . . . )

Anywhen, is #1 Gamgee?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

#1 is not Gamgee..

Since I'm looking at the clue again, and finding that it is ridiculously difficult, here's a few hints.

1) it is an object.

2) it is two words.

3) the first part of the clue reference the second word.

4) the second part of the clue references the first word.

Now it should be much easier. :smokin: I think.

Sophia

[The Saucepan Man]

*Saucepan shamelessly takes Sophia's hint to the phantom on the Cryptic Clues thread*

Airy entrance for merpeople = Gill Door

So the answer to #5 must be Gildor, who was "well met" by Frodo, Sam and Pippin.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

But you're right, of course. ;)

I was wondering when you'd show up...

Sophia

[Encaitare]

I have been pondering this for so long!

Is #7 Ladros?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

#7 is not Ladros. Sorry...

the lad part of the clue is almost right, but not quite... the last part should be applied to the entire clue.

Sophia

[The Saucepan Man]

7. Boy precedes one small ball walking backwards.

Boy = Lad
One = A
Small ball = Bal

Which give Ladabal.

But, walking backwards, it is Labadal, aka Turin's friend Sador.
