Find the Subject

[Mad Baggins]

I've looked, and it seems that there are no other threads like this, so let's go!

The object of this game is to find the subject of the quote. You would have to give the book that the quote is from.

Here is an example:
"And I'm not used, _____ ______, to waiting on people while they eat!"
This quote is from Return of the King, and the answer is "Master Beregond". You see? It doesn't necessarily have to be spoken, but try not to get too obscure or that makes it less fun. Or is it more fun? I'm not sure. Well, here's one to start off:

Five miles beyond ______ they halted, ending their first day's march.
This is from Return of the King.

[Firefoot]

Okay, sounds interesting. Are you supposed to say which book it is from? Or is that optional?

Osgiliath?

[Mad Baggins]

Firefoot, you're right, and yes you do have to give the book that it is from. Your go.

[Firefoot]

Okay. This is from FotR.

They set no watch. Even ______ feared no danger yet

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Frodo:)

[Firefoot]

Yes.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

From The Two Towers

And further still there are more lands, they say, but the _________ ________ is very hot there, and there are seldom any clouds, and the men are fierce and have dark faces.

[Firefoot]

Yellow Face.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

You are right, Firefoot

[Firefoot]

Thanks! This one is from FotR.

The _______ long defended us, but they are a sure guard no more;

[Mad Baggins]

Is it Elves?

[Firefoot]

No...

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Rangers?

[Firefoot]

Nope.

Hint - It isn't a person/group of people.

[Evisse the Blue]

Swords?

[Arvedui III]

Forests?

[Mad Baggins]

Eagles?

[Firefoot]

Nope.

[Arestevana]

Could it be mountains?

[Firefoot]

No.

Hint - It is in part 2.

[Firefoot]

Anyone? Do you need another hint?

[Mad Baggins]

Um...yes? :rolleyes:

[Firefoot]

I didn't think this would be as hard as it is - an Elf other than Legolas said it.

[Mad Baggins]

Humm...trees? Towers?

[Firefoot]

No. Alright, one more hint. It was in Lothlorien.

[Iaurhirwen]

The rivers long defended us, but they are a sure guard no more;

Spoken by Haldir outside of Lothlorien, in conjunction with his remarks on how little trust there is among those who oppose Sauron, and how is power is steadily growing, and the protection that was offered by the rivers for so many years, is now gone.

[Firefoot]

Bingo!!! I never know what is going to be hard with you people and what will be easy.

[Iaurhirwen]

Ok. After I remember this thread now.

Hmmmm, a question:

They knew not what could save you if the _______ _______ could not

Happy hunting!

Oops, I forgot to mention: This one is also from FOTR

[Firefoot]

white horse?

[Iaurhirwen]

You got it Firefoot. You're up.

[Firefoot]

I promise this one should be easier than the last one."Do _____ live in these woods?"From FotR.

[symestreem]

elves?

[Firefoot]

Yep.

[symestreem]

Was there ever anyone like him? Except _______, of course.

This should be easy.

[Evisse the Blue]

Gandalf, I believe.

[symestreem]

Your instincts have not led you astray. ;)

[Evisse the Blue]

"We have been warned against ______"

[Iaurhirwen]

I see that the last two "questioners" have forgotten to list which book their quote came from, as listed in the original rules . . . . . anywho, I'll just give a random quess anyway . . . . . . . . The River

Not a very good guess, I know. But it's 8:30 in the morning here on a Saturday and I'm supposed to be in bed. Mean parents for luring me out of bed with food.

[Evisse the Blue]

It's from The Two Towers. And no, it's not the river.

[Mad Baggins]

Travelers?

[Evisse the Blue]

Not that either.

[Mad Baggins]

Humm...strangers?

[Evisse the Blue]

Nope.
Hint: it's a name.

[Mad Baggins]

Is it Gollum, or Gandalf?

[Evisse the Blue]

heck no. :D

[Mad Baggins]

Arrrrg! Saruman?

[Evisse the Blue]

No again!
You're close with Saruman...in terms of space.

[Mad Baggins]

I'm the only one guessing...how pathetic. ;):D

Fangorn?

[Evisse the Blue]

well, pathetic nor no, persistence pays off... :D
Fangorn it is, so it's your turn!

[Mad Baggins]

Hurray! Okay, here goes:
"______: I've got some. Have you? I don't think they've taken anything but our swords."
I think this will be fairly simple.

[Firefoot]

Lembas.

[Mad Baggins]

Fast, like lightning! *shoom*

Lembas it is, Firefoot! Your turn.

[Firefoot]

"Now at any rate he is as bad as an ______, and just an enemy."Let's see, lengthen message to one character.

[Mad Baggins]

I know, why does it do that? My guess is orc.

Don't forget the book!

[Firefoot]

Yes.

[Mad Baggins]

Righty-o. This is from Two Towers.
"And is _______ then left unguarded?"

[Evisse the Blue]

Edoras?

[Mad Baggins]

Nope.

[symestreem]

Orthanc, Gandalf to Merry.

[symestreem]

Mad Baggins?

[Mad Baggins]

Eep! Sorry, symestreem. You're right.

[symestreem]

Upon _______ a heavy change had fallen.

[Iaurhirwen]

the orcs??????

:confused: What book is it in???? :confused:

[Olorin_TLA]

Oh it's on the brink of my mind, running around...I'm sure it's one of the good guy...Bilbo? Gandalf? Aragorn? Frodo? Well, I'll leave it at that. :(

[symestreem]

It's from The Silmarillion. None of the guesses are correct.

[Olorin_TLA]

Húrin?

[symestreem]

Nien.

[Mad Baggins]

Gondolin?

[symestreem]

No.

[Mad Baggins]

Nearly a month ago...let's start 'er up again!
_____ and ______!
Fairly easy, I think.

[Firefoot]

I believe that it is "Elves and Dragons!" which is what Sam said his Gaffer told him. I'm not sure since I can't find it anywhere.

[Mad Baggins]

It is.

[Firefoot]

Thanks.Again and again the _______ were beaten off, and many of them were killed.

[Iaurhirwen]

Random guess - wargs?

[Firefoot]

No.

[Firefoot]

Anyone? It's in the Hobbit.

[Iaurhirwen]

Ooooooh! I love your AVI!!!!!

So, since I seem to be the only one that is guessing, I'll go again :D

Another random guess - - dwarves?

[Firefoot]

Thanks! Kiara is one of my favorite Disney characters.

But it's not Dwarves - something much more evil.
