Palantir of Fortune!

[luthien-elvenprincess]

In honor of my 800th post, I was going to pick the letter that landed in the 800th spot when placing the alphabet end to end 31 times! However, that letter is T and Firefoot already asked it...so I'll ask for the 8th letter...H, please! :)

[Eruanna]

Es please.

[The Elf-warrior]

A's please?

[Eruanna]

Found it :)

"Nay, my friends, I am the lawful master of the stone, and I had both the right and the strength to use it, or so I judged. The right cannot be doubted. The strength was enough - barely."

how about the m's

[luthien-elvenprincess]

I got it! Pippen is speaking to the other hobbits at Rivendell.

"We hobbits ought to stick together, and we will. I shall go, unless they chain me up. There must be someone with intelligence in the party."

[Eruanna]

That's it! Well done, Luthien :)

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Much thanks, Eruanna.

" It will be my turn to get angry soon," (he said) "If you say that again, I shall. Then you will see Gandalf the Grey uncloaked."

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Excellent job, Eruanna! Your thread again.

[Eruanna]

Thanks Luthien. I got lucky when I spotted what could only have been 'Gandalf the Grey'. :)

"I am commanded to go to the land of Mordor, and therefore i shall go," said Frodo. "If there is only one way, then I must take it. What comes after must come."

Which would be Frodo to Gollum and Sam in RotK.

[Eruanna]

It would indeed be Frodo to Gollum and Sam, but it's from Chapter III of The Two Towers:The Black Gate Is Closed :D

Well done Kath, the thread is yours. :)

[Kath]

Whoops! There's book vs movie confusion for you.

[Firefoot]

Good job! And here I thought y'all would need some more letters! ;)

[Guinevere]

Thank you, Firefoot!

In the old days hobbits used to go on their travels now and again. Not that many ever came back, and not that all they said was believed: news from Bree, and not as sure as Shiretalk as the saying go.

Is that it? I'm not sure where it's from though as I've not the books as my brother has stolen them.

[elronds_daughter]

Beat me to it again! Though I'm still not sure where it's from, either. I spent twenty minutes looking for it and couldn't find it! ;)

[Firefoot]

Kath, the quote is correct. It is from the chapter "The Black Gate is Closed," in TTT, right after Sam says the Oliphaunt poem. He also says the quote, to Gollum.

"T--/ -at--/ --/ --t/ ----," (...) "-t/ --/ ---t-/, --t/ t-at/ ----/ --t/ -a--/ ---/, -a-t--/ ----t-----./ --/ ---/ --/ ---!"

[Guinevere]

Can you add the N's please?

[Eruanna]

May we have the Rs please?

[Kath]

N's and R's:

"T--/ -at-r/ --/ n-t/ ----," (...) "-t/ --/ --rt-/, --t/ t-at/ ----/ n-t/ -ar-/ ---/, -a-t-r/ --r-t-----./ -n/ ---/ --/ n--!"

[Eruanna]

"The water is not deep," said Treebeard ,"it is dirty, but that will not harm you, Master Wormtongue. In you go now!"

[Kath]

You got it Guinevere.

[Guinevere]

Thank you, Kath! :) Here's another one:

"--! ---/ -/ ---/ -------/ -----/ --/ ------/. -/ -----/ --/ ---/ ---/: ----/ ------/ ---/ ------/ ------/ -------/ --/ -----/ --/; ---/ ----/ ------------/ ------/ --/ ---/ -----/ ---/ --------/."

[Firefoot]

How about starting at the beginning: A's?

[mormegil]

Let's try the ever prevelant "E"

Maybe if I dedicate all of my time to just this I can come close. :(

[Guinevere]

"--! ---/ -/ -a-/ -a-----/ a----/ --/ ---e--/. A/ -a---/ --/ --e/ ---/: --e-/ -----e/ --e/ ---e--/ -e----/ --e-e--/ --/ --ea-/ --/; --e/ ----/ e---a-a-----/ -ee-e-/ --/ --e/ -----/ a-e/ -ea-----/."

[mormegil]

"T" Please

[Eruanna]

As usual, I'd like the Ts please. :)

Ooops, cross posted with Mormegil (great minds and all that :D )

I'll take the Rs instead please.

[Guinevere]

"--! --r/ -/ -a-/ ta-----/ a----/ t-/ ---e--/. A/ -a--t/ --/ t-e/ ---/: t-e-/ -----e/ t-e/ ---e-t/ -er---/ -re-e-t/ t-/ --ea-/ t-/; t-e/ ----/ e---a-at----/ -ee-e-/ --/ t-e/ -----/ are/ -ear----/."

[mormegil]

An "I" if you would please.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

B, please

[Firefoot]

L's?

[Guinevere]

"--! --r/ I/ -a-/ tal-i--/ al---/ t-/ ---el-/. A/ -abit/ --/ t-e/ -l-/: t-e-/ -----e/ t-e/ -i-e-t/ -er---/ -re-e-t/ t-/ --ea-/ t-/; t-e/ l---/ e--la-ati---/ -ee-e-/ b-/ t-e/ -----/ are/ -ear--i--/."

Someone will recognize it now, I guess... ;)

[Firefoot]

"What? In riddles?" said Gandalf. "No! For I was talking aloud to myself. A habit of the old: they choose the wisest person present to speak to, the long explanations needed by the young are wearying." Gandalf to Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli.

[Guinevere]

That's the one, Firefoot!

[Firefoot]

Thanks! :) "-----/------/----/---------/------,/---/------/--/-/---------/----,/----/----/---/----/--/---/----,/---/---/-------/---/---/---."

[mormegil]

Let's try my favorite "E" please.

[Guinevere]

and the S's for me, please

[elronds_daughter]

And the "A"s, por favor.

[Firefoot]

E, S, A"E--es/se----/---e/---a---e-/a----e,/---/a----e/-s/a/-a--e---s/----,/e-e-/----/--e/--se/--/--e/--se,/a--/a--/----ses/-a-/---/---."

[mormegil]

"N" please Firefoot

[Firefoot]

N"E--es/se----/---e/-n-a---e-/a----e,/---/a----e/-s/a/-an-e---s/----,/e-en/----/--e/--se/--/--e/--se,/an-/a--/----ses/-a-/--n/---."

[mormegil]

Let's give "I" a shot please.

[Guinevere]

some T's would probably be useful...

[Firefoot]

I, T"E--es/se----/-i-e/-n-a---e-/a--i-e,/---/a--i-e/is/a/-an-e---s/-i-t,/e-en/----/t-e/-ise/t-/t-e/-ise,/an-/a--/----ses/-a-/--n/i--."

[Guinevere]

"Elves seldom give unguarded advice, for advice is a dangerous gift, even from the wise to the wise, and all courses may run ill."

Gildor to Frodo

[Firefoot]

Sure is. Good job, Guinevere!

[Guinevere]

Thanks, Firefoot! :)

my only hope is that I get this (probably more too) answered before Firefoot has a chance to look at it :o

[Firefoot]

"Two?" said Legolas. "I have done better, though now I must grope for spent arrows; all mine are gone. Yet I make my tale twenty at the least. But that is only a few leaves in a forest."Legolas to Gimli.

And, *gasp,* you mean to say he actually runs out of arrows!? ;) :D

[Guinevere]

Correct of course, Firefoot! (Too bad for Mormegil that he wasn't online when I updated... ;) )

My "E's" Please

Or you could just whisper the answer to me :D ;)

[Guinevere]

And some T for me

[Firefoot]

Actually, I can't. You wouldn't hear me. ;) :D

[Guinevere]

Are there any O's ?

[mormegil]

I can't believe that I still can't figure it all out yet. I've got parts but I can't pinpoint it.

"L"

[mormegil]

I think I got it

I once saw him sitting all alone on the top of the Carrock at night watching the moon sinking towards the Misty Mountains, and I heard him growl in the tongue of bears; 'The day will come when they will perish and I shall go back

I think Carrock threw me off.

[Firefoot]

Good job, Mormegil!

[mormegil]

That's great, the one time I actually get it right and I don't think I'll be able to do the follow up. I'm leaving on a trip tomorrow and won't be back for a week so as to keep it moving I relinquish my turn to you Firefoot.

[Firefoot]

Well, that's too bad. :(

[Eruanna]

Let's start with the Ts please. :)

[Kath]

I'll take mormegil's place and ask for the E's.

[Firefoot]

T's, E's.

"--T/-E/--E-'T/ETTE-/-ET,/---/T-E-E/--E/---E/-T--T/----/-E-E/----/--./---TE-E-/---/-E/--/-T--E/---/---/-------,/-'--/---E-/-T/---'T/-/----'-/-E---."

"n"s?

[Eruanna]

Rs please.

[Guinevere]

ETTE_ ?!? Hmm :rolleyes: Etten...? Ah! http://www.travar.de/Templates/Webprojekt/images/idea.gif it must be Sam

" But we aren't etten yet, and there are some stout folk here with us. Whatever may be in store for Gandalf, I'll wager it isn't a wolf's belly!"

Sam (to Pippin) when the fellowship was attacked by wolves between Caradhras and Moria.

(Sorry to snatch this one away from you all, but I just couldn't resist. ;) )

[Firefoot]

I figured that might be a problem when E's and T's were guessed...

Right on, Guinevere!

[Guinevere]

Thanks, Firefoot!
