Riddles in the Downs

[Marky Lazer]

It indeed was Party Field.

Yours again!

[Da Skorpion]

This one shouldn't be too hard...

Elves beautiful and bright,
tortured in the night.
Afraid of the sun,
I made each of them now a dark person.
Tough soldiers in line,
each of them are mine.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Orcs?

[Da Skorpion]

Yeah you can join imo.

But no, not Orcs, watch the 'I' and 'mine' :)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Big black guy, stupid-looking head accessory, scarred face? :smokin:

[Da Skorpion]

Correct. Melkor/Morgoth it is.

The thread's yours.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I walk unseen, but not unfelt.
I seek a gold ring, but not for wealth.
I talked to the father of the Elf-warrior
And chased the Ringbearer through field and river.

Easy one, methinks. :smokin:

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

Strider?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Sorry, no.

[Da Skorpion]

The Nazgul?

[paavo]

Smeagol perhaps?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

;) Just kidding.

Erm, a Nazgûl is somewhat right. But which Nazgûl did the things done in the last two lines? :cool:

[Da Skorpion]

Witch-king of Angmar?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I'm sorry, no.

[Da Skorpion]

Khamûl...

[Marky Lazer]

It has to be the Shadow of the East, Khamûl. Besides the Witchking of Angmar, he was the only one of the Nine named by Tolkien.

I talked to the father of the Elf-warrior
The Elf-warrior should be Legolas, his father Thranduil, who were Elves of Mirkwood. Khamûl was in the Mirkwood as I remember correctly, so he spoke with Thranduil there?

Anyway, if this is correct, I give the thread to Da Skorpion anyway, because he did most of the job.

Edit: Oh, I see her already answered. Goody then...

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

NF, ya going to confirm? I think the answers were correct - no use delaying any more... :smokin:

[Da Skorpion]

Yeah, didn't want to nag about it, but yea


It has to be the Shadow of the East, Khamûl. Besides the Witchking of Angmar, he was the only one of the Nine named by Tolkien.
LOL! I didn't tell you that a few minutes before your post, eh ;) ;) ;)

Btw, the Witchking of Angmar isn't named either I think, its more a title.

[Gil-Galad]

Well i've heard himm being called Er-Murazor once and awhile...

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Although the Elf-warrior, Marky Lazer, is Sam, not Legolas. ;)

Yours again, Da Skorpion. (It seems this thread is glowing orange. :D )

[Da Skorpion]

Gil-Galad: That's true but Tolkien never named the witch king and the other seven, instead they come from a series of rpg and tcg produced by Iron Crown Enterprises.

Big and strong,
joined in a battle of five headlong.
Black pelt everywhere,
but of men he is an heir.
Large gold buzzers around,
more yellow gold food than a bear can count.

[Marky Lazer]

This got to be Beorn, if not I'll eat my shoes. And yours too!

[Da Skorpion]

Correct. Twas an easy one:)

The thread be yours.

[Marky Lazer]

Thanx Skorpio!

Wicked hobbit, steals from me
Tricksy hobbit, makes me angry
False hobbit, a thief I see

Who is it about and who is saying it?
And please explain... It's not as easy as you'd expect, BTW.

[Gil-Galad]

Wicked hobbit, steals from me
-Gollum, talking about Bagginesss
Tricksy hobbit, makes me angry
-don't forget riddles in the downs, bilbo tricked gollum
False hobbit, a thief I see
-claims bilbo stole his b-day gift from him...

[Da Skorpion]

Marky told me that it wasn't correct (he's here atm), and I do not have a clue either.

[Marky Lazer]

Time for a hint?

[Evisse the Blue]

Wicked hobbit, steals from me
Tricksy hobbit, makes me angry
False hobbit, a thief I see

Bert the Troll?
Bilbo tried to steal from him to prove his abilities. Then he tried to trick him into thinking there was no one else around. And obviously made him angry. :p

If that's not correct, a hint would be most welcome I think. :)

[Marky Lazer]

Nice try, but not correct.

A hint then... It is about Frodo. Now, I only need to know who is saying it.

And it's NOT Gollum.

[paavo]

What about farmer maggot whose mushrooms Frodo stole in his younger days.

[Marky Lazer]

That is the correct answer! Thread is paavo's!

[paavo]

Don't expect anything grand since I am definately not a poet. :)

A lot have I seen
Long here I've been
Found my home near the half-grown
a good thing for the life of our own

(now that really sucks. I just wrote a poem before this one so I had no inspiration left. yes yes, excuses...)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Gandalf, who found himself "at home" in the Shire, Land of the Halflings?

[paavo]

...But no. :p

[Gil-Galad]

me thinks Tom Bombadil... who did live near Buckland

[paavo]

You thinks right. :)

[Gil-Galad]

Charged and fell, Weak but faithful, forgotton yet remembered.

[Marky Lazer]

From the second line, I'd say Boromir...

[Marky Lazer]

Gil-Galad!?

[Gil-Galad]

Nope, before Boromir...

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Eärnil?

[Gil-Galad]

nope


i wouldn't mind reasons too...

[Marky Lazer]

bump?

[Gil-Galad]

Hint: it was during the Last Alliance

[Este of Lorien]

Isildur?

[Gil-Galad]

nope and please people reasons!!!!!

[Amrod the Hunter]

King of the dead (i mean the damned)?

[Gil-Galad]

nope...Hint: its an elf!!!

[Amrod the Hunter]

Well,only important elves during the Last Alliance were ELrond and Gil-Galad.Someone said Gil-Galad,so I'll say Elrond

[Gil-Galad]

again reasons!!! please people...if i don't get a reason i won't accept the anwser...

(its not elrond by the way)

[Marky Lazer]

Oropher then, he was slain during the War of the Last Alliance.
He's an Elf.
Remembered through his son Thranduil who survived the battle and returned to Mirkwood.
Faithful, because of his picking the side of good?

[Gil-Galad]

Oropher it was!


Charged and fell - charged the Black Gate and was slain
Weak but faithful - Orophers elves had no armour and charged head on, but were true to sticking with the Last Alliance
forgotton yet remembered - remembered indeed by Thranduil, even though no spken much of, hes still there

your turn!

[Marky Lazer]

Thanx...

Some think I'm a bird
Some think I'll land gently in the dirt
Some think I'm a stone
But what I can no one really knows

[Gil-Galad]

no wait Gandalf!

[Marky Lazer]

It is incorrect, and you were the one asking for reasons, weren't you?

[Gil-Galad]

Some think I'm a bird - friends with the eagles
Some think I'll land gently in the dirt - the brown, a nature lover
Some think I'm a stone - Saruman calls him stupid, like a stone
But what I can no one really knows - did not really have a purpose, or no one can see his purpose


Radagast the Brown

[Marky Lazer]

Good try, but not what I was looking for.

[Evisse the Blue]

A hint maybe?

[Marky Lazer]

If I do, I give it away probably... but because you asked that friendly...

Hint: an easy little question, but the more we examine it the harder it gets to answer it.

[Evisse the Blue]

Hmmm...The Elessar?

[Marky Lazer]

No...

[bilbo_baggins]

A dragon? A bird, yet not one, not a stone, yet not one?

[Marky Lazer]

I'm affraid it's not a dragon.

I'll try to come up with a good hint soon.

[Marky Lazer]

A hint then, maybe a bit obscure, but you have to do with it.

I 583

[Gurthang]

A Balrog because some think it can fly, some think it can't, and no one really knows for sure.

[Marky Lazer]

That is the right answer! Gurthang's thread!

[Marky Lazer]

Well, anyone then?

[fillynicole]

We live in the Mountains, dark and damp,
Once we caught dwarves, they'd set up camp,
That night on the doorstep, we walked up the ramp,
And took the travelers out for a stamp and tramp.

Then a bright light, filled us with dread,
the dangerous flash, that made us like lead,
but we kept the dwarves, to the King we led,
when the Beater came out, and stoke him down dead!

We still live in Mountains, dark and deep,
we keep all travelers from their sleep,
along the shadows, swiftly we creep,
after revenge, the promise we keep.

[Gil-Galad]

seems to be most obvious Goblins of Moria...

[fillynicole]

Right! Gil-galad's thread!

[Gil-Galad]

right...let me see here...


Founding of First, maintained of Second, both co-mingled yet hard to see unless First, commanded by a Greater Second and a Lesser Second after the war...

[Marky Lazer]

Time for some hints, methinks.

[Gil-Galad]

it was during the WOTR

[Arestevana]

Minas Ithil?

Founding of First
At the start it was first in importance of the towers, as the fortress-city of Isildur.
maintained of Second
It was taken by Sauron and though retaken in the early Third Age, was thereafter second to Minas Anor.
Both co-mingled yet hard to see unless First
Minas Ithil was captured again by Sauron's forces, and both it and Minas Anor were renamed. The Palantir of Minas Anor was controlled by the Ithil-stone, making it difficult to "see" through the stone.
Or perhaps that once the First (Ithil) became the Second (Morgul), moonlight no longer lit the tower at night, and that pallid witch-light that replaced it was not enough to see by?
commanded by a Greater Second and a Lesser Second after the war
Minas Ithil (Morgul) was commanded by The Witch King, Sauron's second-in-command, before the War of the Ring, and afterward by Faramir, who as the heir of the steward and Prince of Ithilien could logically be considered Aragorn's second. The Witch King is greater than Faramir, as seen when the latter succumbed to the Black Breath.

A shot in the dark...or in that weird Morgul light.

[Gil-Galad]

nope...close with Faramir though...it is a place

[Arestevana]

Emyn Arnen, then?

Founding of the first Ithilien Principate, perhaps? Maintaining...the stewardship?
Commanded by Faramir (and Beregond, captain of the White Company)
Or by Faramir and Eowyn, each a second child...

[Gil-Galad]

your close with Faramir and Eowyn

[Arestevana]

Well, that puts one in mind of the Houses of Healing...

Eowyn's stay was founded by the orders of the Master Healer, when she wished to leave, but was later maintained by her own will, though she was pronounced well.
Eowyn and Faramir were together often during the latter part of their stay in the Houses of Healing, but could not have visitors without the approval of the Master Healer.

...but that would make the Greater and Lesser Seconds the voices in Eowyn's head... Alack, my reasoning appears to be faulty.
Unless of course, you refer to her two mindsets: childish infatuation with Aragorn giving way to love for Faramir?

[Gil-Galad]

*sigh* its a city...

[Kath]

Ok there is some logic behind this but it is pretty screwed up so I might ramble a bit.

Last bit first is that I think Greater Second refers to Faramir because he is second in line to being Steward and Lesser Second is Eowyn because she is technically second in line but is from Rohan which is less important than Gondor.

Then keeping in with that theme First should be Boromir and second Faramir.

I am totally stumped on the co-mingled bit.

Actually this is really hard! I'm going to say Osgiliath on the guess that Faramir and Eowyn were left in charge after the war and that Boromir first freed it from the orc invasion and then it was left to Faramir to maintain it.

[the guy who be short]

He fell ere Gorthaur's realm did fall
The sign he brought was clear to all
Though hidden long it did remain
A sign of hope for men of Sauron's bane.

Who was it?

[Marky Lazer]

He fell ere Gorthaur's realm did fall
The sign he brought was clear to all
Though hidden long it did remain
A sign of hope for men of Sauron's bane.

Who was it?

Gorthaur -> Sauron, banished 25 March III 3019. At this same time Gandalf, Aragorn, Éomer, Imrahil and the other lords of the allied force rode against the gates of Mordor, but I don't know anyone who fell there :S

I hope I helped someone else with my thinking out loud...

[the guy who be short]

Gorthaur -> Sauron, banished 25 March III 3019.Correct.

Ere means before, remember. It might be easier to think about what the "sign he bore" was first.

[Kath]

The only person I can think of right now is Aragorn. He had the green stone on his forehead or the banner for 'signs he bore'. He was long hidden as were these two signs but when revealed they brought hope to men. But he did not fall before Sauron so . . . ?

[the guy who be short]

You're on the right track with the signs, but it's not Aragorn.

[fillynicole]

He fell ere Gorthaur's realm did fall---he died at Amon Hen
The sign he brought was clear to all---his horn
Though hidden long it did remain---gondor was long a, well, pretty sad place
A sign of hope for men of Sauron's bane---"my lord, my brother, my king"

Who was it?---Boromir!

[the guy who be short]

Nope, sorry!

The only person I can think of right now is Aragorn. He had the green stone on his forehead or the banner for 'signs he bore'. He was long hidden as were these two signs but when revealed they brought hope to men.That's the closest anybody's got so far (pretty darn close, actually).

[Kath]

Was it maybe the man who brought the signs from Galadriel/Arwen to Aragorn? The Dunedain man gave him the banner I know that much. Tell me if this is right and I'll go find his name. The books have to be around here somewhere :rolleyes: .

[the guy who be short]

You've got it! (Get me his name or I won't give it to you :p).

[Kath]

Bully. Ok it was . . . Halbarad! I knew it began with H!

[the guy who be short]

Vrai. He died at the Pellenor Fields, if anybody, you know, cares.

Over to Kath.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Kath?

[Kath]

Sorry I've been having trouble thinking of one. Next time I guess I'll make sure I have one to hand! You can take it Nilp.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

No! I just poke people!

*sigh* But only since you asked.

I shall think of one up soon. About 24 hours from now.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Angel of sorrow,
Listening, lamenting, watering.

[the guy who be short]

Nienna.

Angel = Vala. Cries a lot = lamenting. Watered the mound of Ezellohar (most likely spelt wrong, sorry) with her tears.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

You got it. :)

Your thread.

[the guy who be short]

In the Haven of Birds
Of the People who were Third,
This evil, first of its kind,
Was commited, and left behind.

[Gil-Galad]

sounds like Aquallonde(sp), and the first Kinslaying

[the guy who be short]

Yup, the Kinslaying of Alqualonde. Over to G-G.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Gil-galad?

[Gil-Galad]

I'm back now...though overly sore


Place of refuge for the tall and place of riches for the not so-tall


quite easy...

[the guy who be short]

Glittering Caves?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Gil-galad?

[Gil-Galad]

yep TGWBS is correctamondo

[the guy who be short]

Blergh. I can't think of anything, so an easy one:

A fishy city.

[Alcarillo]

Tirion-upon-Túna?

[the guy who be short]

D'accord. Over to you, Alcarillo.

I love your name by the way. :D So Bombadilesque.

[Alcarillo]

Sorry for the delay, I couldn't think up anything very clever, so here goes:

Zombie-land

I know it's somewhat wierd, but I made it up on the spot.

[Mithalwen]

Paths of the dead?

[Alcarillo]

Nope. It's more literal.

[the guy who be short]

Land of the Dead That Live - the island where Beren and Luthien came back?

[Alcarillo]

Yep, your turn.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Mr. Short?

[Marky Lazer]

Well, it's not my turn... sue me... :D

We come in black and white
White as snow, black as the night
We sailed south, upon the Great Sea
Where we went remains a mystery

[the guy who be short]

You know, technically you should wait for 10 days, but I'll let it slide seeing as I forgot about the existance of this thread. :p

Numenoreans?

[Marky Lazer]

I'm afraid that is not what I'm looking for...

[Marky Lazer]

Hint: there are ten of them.

[Telperaca]

It's the people who go to the Grey Heavens??

[Gil-Galad]

Barahir and the outlaws?

[Marky Lazer]

Both not correct.

Think about spies...

[Marky Lazer]

Another hint: Tarannon Falastur.

Now, it's easy enough, surely?

[Koneko]

Queen Beruthiel's cats?

[Marky Lazer]

Very good! Thread is Koneko's!

[Koneko]

Crud. I didn't expect to be right... uhm... can someone else do a riddle? -_-;;

[The Perky Ent]

hehe happens to the best of us! I've got one...

Thrice have we survived the end
Music engraved in our name.
In the second, we lived proudly
Light led the music
Now we are a relic of the past
Music heard no more.



Sorry it isn't that good. I'm not at my poetic peak :D

[Gil-Galad]

sounds like the Elves of Lindon, or Greenelves

[The Perky Ent]

You are indeed close, Gil-Galad (hehe especially with your name), but that is not the answer. Well...at least, the answer is part of the answer you gave :D

I thought it would be harder :(

[Gil-Galad]

him... Laquiendi?

[The Perky Ent]

....um...no

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Moriquendi?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Lindar ?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Perky ?

[Marky Lazer]

Two bumps? Time for a new one. I'm not sure if does one works, but let me give it a try anyway...

To use as bait
For a nice fish
Can’t speak of hate
Yes, nice that is

[Morsul the Dark]

is it that simple?...it cant be it never is...

A worm?

[Rombout]

Is it from GOllem?

[Gil-Galad]

hmmm...Deagol?

[Marky Lazer]

Not correct yet. Though Morgul is on the rigt way.

[Rimbaud]

Wormtongue?

[Marky Lazer]

Spot on!

[Rimbaud]

Root and branch protect him
His name sprung from their doughty limb.

[Valesse]

Perhaps Quickbeam?

[Morsul the Dark]

for some odd reason though i doubt its right it just sounds like tom bombadil

[Gil-Galad]

Old Man Willow?


(is it me or did i already post here and it dissapeared...)

[Gothmog]

A far-fetched idea...Legolas Greenleaf? As leafs literally are sprung from the limbs. "Root and branch protect him". Hmmm...Well he is one of the woodelves.

[Rimbaud]

None of the above, I'm afraid. It's a very literal 'name-related' clue.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Thorin Oakenshield ?

[Rimbaud]

That is correct, well done, and your turn!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

arrgh I kind of hoped I was wrong! I am no good at these kind of things, so don't expect anything of my "riddle"

Among faithful I was, yet shunned by all
Placed high over vale yet in the ground

[Morsul the Dark]

Gandalf? his fellow isatari shunned him by turning on him or not helping he becAame gandalf the white in moria in the ground?

[Gothmog]

Hearing "faithful" I'm thinking of Numenor an those faithful to the old traditions, not forsaking the friendship of the elves. "Shunned by all", hmmm... I'm going to guess for Tar-Miriel. She was supposed to be queen but was forced into marriage and from the throne. Maybe that is "shunned by all". It is also said that she tried to reach the top of Meneltarma when the island sank, which would explain why she's high over vale. In the ground meaning dead in this interpretation.

I don't think that's correct actually. But am I on to something? Is any part correct?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

No your all wrong Morsul !

Your answer is all wrong too Gothmog, but some of your resoning is right, try rethinking it. . .

(remember I am no good at this so it might be cryptic)

[Gil-Galad]

Tar-Pantir? he was of the faithful and tried to bring back the Elvish ways

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Nope.

Try to think a little unorthodoxly. . .

(Shall I give a hint when I return in 8 hours?)

[Gothmog]

The last line sounds kind of like the barrowmounds. A barrow-wight? The barrow-wight? But I don't know about the first line. The kings in the barrows were descendents of the faithful of Numenor? And those who lived in Numenor and were faithful was shunned by all? All that anti-elvish propaganda going on...

No I really have no idea... Maybe a hint, if no-one else has any ideas

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Hint: Not a person

Maybe it is to easy now, but thats just the way it has to be.

[Morsul the Dark]

lotlorien
among the faithful elves shunned by men
placed high because of its magic and great elven roots and its roots tree roots are ion the ground?

[Mettare]

How about the Stone of Erech?

It was on the top of the Hill of Erech, yet in the ground; people were quite afraid of it, but it was brought there by Isildur from Numenor...

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Sorry Morsul your wrong again, but a real good guess though. . .

Congrat's Mettare that was the answer I was looking for !

I hereby yield the thread to you

[Mettare]

:)

Another way to be taken
For the first was taken away
From the light into shadows and dimness
A treacherous way, a dangerous way
Calling its victims

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Just to get us startet: The Straight Road ?

I dont think it is correct, but was the first thing that came to my mind.

[Gothmog]

An other wild guess: The path through Moria?

[Gil-Galad]

crossroads maybe?

[Mettare]

Nope.

Gothmog's guess was good, though.. just not the one I had in mind.. I was afraid it might be a little too vague.. :rolleyes:

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

The Gap of Rohan ?

[Valesse]

I'm going to say its the Pathes of the Dead.

[Gothmog]

I'm following my first thought and guess at Cirith Ungol. My first guess was considered good, and this is quite similar so...?

[Mettare]

No.

It was just a good guess but now I see there are other good guesses as well...

Slightly modified riddle:

Another way to be taken
For the first was taken away
From the light into shadows and dimness
A treacherous way, a dangerous way
Calling its many victims

Might not be a big clue (if any) but I don't want to make it too obvious...

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

The treacherous wastes of the Helcaraxë ?

[Mettare]

Yep, that's it! :D

Your turn! :)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Thanks. . .

Brothers three, greatest am I
I see all with my ancient eye


Not as good as yours Mettare, but I hope it will do.

[Gil-Galad]

Minas Tirith perhaps?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

perhaps. . . . but it is wrong, but good guess and close it was.

[Morsul the Dark]

then the next logical step if that was close is Baradur?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

yes that would be the next logical thing to do, but alas your wrong!

If you keep doing the logical thing you will end up with the right answer, allthough it may take some time.

dont read to much into the messege above.

[Gil-Galad]

hmm...Osgiliath?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Nope.

If you want I can make changes in the riddel to make it easier. . .

[Gil-Galad]

Gondolin perhaps?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

No not at all.

[Morsul the Dark]

Minas Tirith was close...so perhaps it needs to be more specific the White Tower?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

No it is somthing different.

Maybe if I change the riddle a bit.

Brothers three, tallest am I
I see all with my ancient eye

[Morsul the Dark]

Orthanc is pretty tall

Orthanc

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

indeed it was, but it is not the answer.

Shall I give a hint ?

[Morsul the Dark]

yes please

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Hint: Looks only across the sea

[Morsul the Dark]

Grey Haven?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

You cant come any closer now. You are so close, allso geographical. ;)

[Morsul the Dark]

the lighthouse? i forget what its called

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I cant remember the lighthous...

Morsul remember the riddle (and look to a bit to the east)

[Gothmog]

Elostirion? The eye being the Palantiri and Elostirion being the tallest of the three towers on Emyn Beraid?

[Morsul the Dark]

if thats right ill cry :(

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

now thats not very nice Gothmog, coming here and stealing Morsuls victory. . .

You are very much correct.

(the stone of elendil could not be used for comunication, but only too look towards Numenor and the undying lands)

[Morsul the Dark]

e-e-e-e-waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bursts into tears.....oh by the by Rhune your up in Cryptic clues as well you got my clue right

[Gothmog]

I can only apologize! To my defence I must tell you that I didn't see Morsuls last post about the lighthouse (well, it wasn't a lighthouse but probably looked something like one), but still this was mostly thanks to you I guessed it right. But I realized early that "ancient eye" must be a palantir. It was those "three" that confused me... However, here's a new chance for you Morsul. Quite easy I think, and not to well composed I'm afraid. But this is the only thing I could come up with right now:

One of brothers three
A king one can't see
The jewel his doom
Killed in his own room

Good luck! And I hope you can forgive me, Morsul :(

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Finwë ?

[Gothmog]

That's a very good answer and I see that it fits quite good, but that's not what I had on my mind. The second line is the only one that don't make me think of Finwe now when you say it... But do try again!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Thingol

Allthough I cannot remember more than one brother, but I often forget these things.

[Gothmog]

Correct! According to my sources he had two brothers; Olwe and Elmo. We all know of Olwe's fate and Elmo apparently dwelled in Doriath with his brother. I looked it up in the Encyklopedia of Arda to be sure I didn't lie now when you made me unsure :)

Your turn Rune (the Quiz Master ?)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Thank you Gothmog, allthough I am flatterd and love the titel, I belive it belongs to NightKnight. . .


Many are my names:slayer, murderer.
The bringer of ruin I am.
I make even sons of the tallest fall


No rimes, no nothing, but I realy could not think of anything.

[Gil-Galad]

Turin

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Sorry Gil thats not it

[NightKnight]

As simple as Morgoth?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

No it is not, but not that much harder.

[Morsul the Dark]

Witch King

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

No, but it existet in the same periot of time. (ca.)

[Morsul the Dark]

Saruman....(ca.) means what now?

[Beleg]

Hello,

as a new member, I salute you.

For this quizz, I would say Gothmog.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

ca. means that they existet allmost in the same period of time = 2. and 3. age

and your both wrong.

[Roa_Aoife]

I don't suppose it could be as simple as the One Ring?

[Elu Ancalime]

Ba ba ba ba ba, ba BUMP

I would guess the Ring, but Roa's got it, i would just like to continue the quiz.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

How could I not notice that people had answerd?! I have been waiting and waiting. .
Anyway the one ring is the right answer.

I hand this thread over to the beutiful Roa_Aoife

[Roa_Aoife]

Why, thank-you, Rune.

Beauty is in me,
But I'm not for vanity's sake.

[Roa_Aoife]

Oh dear, is it too difficult? Is a hint needed?

[JennyHallu]

Galadriel's Mirror would be my guess, but I don't have another at hand.

[Roa_Aoife]

Well, that wasn't hard at all!

Take it away Jenny. :D

[JennyHallu]

Sorry for the delay: Will develop and post a riddle tonight.

[JennyHallu]

The work of Elven smiths, twice,
It is on the cutting edge.

[Gil-Galad]

that could be Anduril... but Narsil was forged by Telchar(dwarf) at first then reforged by elves into Anduril

[JennyHallu]

well I meant it for Anduril. Forgive my ignorance. Told you I didn't have one in mind...your thread Gil!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Come on Gil, give us a new one. . .

This Quiz is far to good to die like this.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

GIL-GALAD ! ! ! :mad:

[shieldmaiden4xsword]

Gil-Galad?

I want to revive this thread..... :(

[Glirdan]

Then somebody pick a new one!! The ten day rule has passed by like 7 months!!!

[Gil-Galad]

woops totally forgot about this...


left, right, left
used for death, and for tools
left, right, left
after me comes my head


very tricksys indeed

[Gil-Galad]

super big hint!!!: ITS A DWARF

[Morsul the Dark]

here's an easy one

Enjoying nature these women is very enjoyably scarce

[Gil-Galad]

i can't beleive nobody anwsered my easy question... i am so dissapointed...

[ninja91]

scarce nature loving women... are they ent-wives, Morsul?

[Morsul the Dark]

yes...plus look at the clue as an acronym :D

[ninja91]

YEAH! Score one for ninja! How about this...

What dark thing did the White give life to?

might be really easy for you guys...

[Gil-Galad]

That could be many things... Melkor

[Gothmog]

The White makes me think of either Gandalf or Saruman. According to the movies, couldn't one say that Saruman the White gave life to the Uruk Hai, definitely dark beings/things?

Not the best of guesses, but I have to think a bit more to come up with something better...

[ninja91]

You are both right. I had Saruman and the Uruks in mind, but I did not think of Melkor!

[Gil-Galad]

Well pick one of us then to shoot out the next question

[ninja91]

Gil, you seem to have one in mind... :p ;)

[Gothmog]

You can have it, Gil... You answered first and as Ninja said, you seem to have one in mind :) For me, it would take days to come up with something that I'd like to post here...

[Gil-Galad]

thanks, i shall bring back my old one that nobody at all attempted to anwser

left, right, left
used for death, and for tools
left, right, left
after me comes my head


remember, its a dwarf, and think, what does "left,right,left" apply to?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Dáin II Ironfoot ?

[Gil-Galad]

i made it too easy for you rune... but explain why you think its Dain Ironfoot!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Well, the left, right part is of course reffering to feet.

Iron is used for weapons aka death and for making tools.

The last part I could never figure out, that is why I did not guess the first time.

[Gil-Galad]

the last part refers to his some, Thorin Stonehelm, you can figure out the rest...

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I cannot think of anything, so it has to be something ridicules.

Joy with an unknown past, that not even the great can rule.

[ninja91]

How about... Tom Bombadil?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Of course it is, sorry I could think of no better.

[ninja91]

Score 2 for the ninja. How about this...

I saw my master, but not his successor. You can see my prey, but only ab the domen.

sounds goofy, but pretty easy.

[ninja91]

need a hint? it's daughter lives near her master's apprentice.

[Gil-Galad]

random guess...Turgon

[ninja91]

Nope. Another hint: think jumanji. or do you want the answer?

[ninja91]

The answer is... *********!
Last hint. My next post will be.... THE ANSWER :D

[Farael]

Well, it doesn't quite fit the number of stars in there, but I'll take a crack at it anyway... is it Samwise? I'm fairly sure it's wrong, but since there are no other ideas...
