Right-o, Kath. Your go!

[Glirdan]

E's please (Wow!! That rhymed!!! :eek: )

[Firefoot]

"Long has that been lost," (...) "Many have said that it was never made save in legend, but others say that it was destroyed."

But I can't find what it's referring to, and don't have more time to look.

[Glirdan]

I think I know who said that. Gandalf to Galadriel in The Unfinished Tales, forget what chapter. Perhaps the coming of the Istari? That's just a wild guess.

[mormegil]

*coughKathcough*

[Guinevere]

I didn't have time to play "Palantir of Fortune" recently, :(
but at least I can tell you that the quote above is Gimli referring to the "Endless Stair" in Khazad-dûm, when Gandalf tells them about his fight with the Balrog. (The Endless Stair led to the top of Zirakzigil)

[Firefoot]

Duh! I knew it was in LotR, I knew it! And I knew it was an absurdly familiar quote. :rolleyes:

[Kath]

Sorry sorry sorry! Well who do I give it to!?! I mean Firefoot got the words but Guinevere got who said it and where. Ok, no decisions for me, whoever gets here and posts first can take it :D

And apologies for lateness, I truly did not see that anyone had posted on here. How odd.

[Firefoot]

I guess I'll go then."---/---/--/-----/--/---------./---/-----/-------,/---/---/----/----/---/------/---/------/------."

[Kath]

E's then please.

[Guinevere]

and T's , while you're at it

[mormegil]

"N" please

I've always understood that stating where the quote came from is more of a side note instead of the actual point. Getting the quote itself is what constitutes a win.

[Guinevere]

Of course it is as Mormegil says! It wasn't my intention at all to "steal" Firefoot's turn ! ;)

[luthien-elvenprincess]

S, please

[mormegil]

“But now my heart is doubtful. The world changes, and all that once was strong now proves unsure.”

Theoden King about the Hornburg and yes it gave the words I needed thanks.

Sure thing! Your go.

[mormegil]

Thanks

"---,/----/---/---/----/---/-----,/(...)/---/---/----/-----/-/----/---/---/--/---/----/----,/-----/----/--/----/---."

One question I had for Guinevere and Firefoot does it necessarily need to be an actual quote, that is somebody saying something or can it be anything from the books?

[Glirdan]

Let's start off with some S's. (Go figure. :rolleyes: )

[Tuor in Gondolin]

So..."o"s?

[mormegil]

SO

"--s,/----/---/---/s---/---/so---,/(...)/s--/--s/----/-----/-/s---/---/o--/-o/---/so--/--s-,/--o--/----/--/-o--/--o."

[Guinevere]

Well, I've been playing this game since 2002, and up to now we've as a rule taken actual quotes, or part of songs and poems. (with some rare exceptions, I believe)
It would be much harder if we take just some random piece of narrative, wouldn't it ? Though there are some well-beloved narratives that would easily be recognizable too.

I'd like to see the T's, please.

[mormegil]

SOT

"--s,/t---/---/---/s---/---/so---,/(...)/s--/--s/----/--t--/-/s--t/---/o--/to/--t/so--/--st,/--o-t/----/--/-o--/--o."

[Firefoot]

"Yes, they are all safe and sound," answered Gandalf. "Sam was here until I sent him off to get some rest, about half an hour ago." Said to Frodo in Rivendell.

[mormegil]

Correct and just one more of many evidences of the loyalty and greatness of Samwise Gamgee.

[Firefoot]

Hey, I'm not denying that. I like both Sam and Bilbo.

I just like playing all of you off each other. :p "---/---/--/---/----/-----/----/-/---/--/--/---/-----/-----;/---/--/-----/-/-----/-------/----/--/--------/-------."

Shouldn't be difficult now, with all those letters... ;)

[mormegil]

All the big important plans are not for my sort. Still, I wonder if we shall ever be put into songs or tales. We’re in one, of course; but I mean: put into words, you know, told by the fireside, or read out of great big book with red and black letters, years and years afterwards.

Samwise to Frodo. I was sorely tempted to quote the entire passage because it is so lovely but I will refrain. :D

[Guinevere]

Correct, of course, Mormegil! I was tempted as well to make the quote even longer! :D

Well Kath it seems you got in right before me this time...I believe you are correct and it's from the appendicies it was Thrain to Throin and that's why it was so difficult...I'll get my revenge on you Firefoot. :p

[Firefoot]

Well, it's head not helm, but go ahead anyway.

Morm - bring it on. :D

[Kath]

Oh I feel almost guilty now, especially since I didn't actually know the quote, I just filled in appropriate looking letters! Still, never one to look a gift horse in the mouth :p

[mormegil]

Off to the right when you see all the thread names click the total number of posts and it brings up a box of total number of post for that thread.

[Firefoot]

Heh, I know what you mean. Between this thread and 20 Questions, I can account for 2/5 of all my posts. :rolleyes: I'm not sure whether I should be scared or not. ;)

You do realize that between your spite dream and this :p I may have to do something rash...also you realize that those R's did very little

Perhaps O's will be of aid.

[mormegil]

Yes and that is why I didn't want to give you the "N" it made it much more obvious. However this is not yet my revenge upon you. :p

[Firefoot]

That's good, because that would have been a pretty weak revenge... ;) :p "---/---/---/-----/---/--/--/-------,/---/-----/---/-----/-----/----/----/----/----/---."

Wow!! Looks like we got a little friendly feud going on. :p ;)

Hehe

Does that help? Though I must admit this problem you speak of is a daily malady for me.

[Kath]

I see it isn't just us Brit's that enjoy toilet humour :rolleyes:

Yes it helps, I have more of the words now, but let's have some S's please.

Really no need to...I hand selected this one to be rather difficult.

[Guinevere]

I hope Kath will not strangle me if I pop in to solve this one.... just couldn't resist ;)

"He is swift t strike. So I should have foreseen. He will strip me of all. But myself he shall not command, though it be by the mouth of his father."

It's Erendis' thoughts when she received a summons to come to Armenelos with Ancalimë, and to stay there until Aldarion was proclaimed king.

[mormegil]

You forgot a letter so I'm not sure if I should give it to you or not :p

I guess you dare face the wrath of Kath.
