The rangers have returned. We came back with them. And there is a King again, Barliman. He will soon be turning his mind this way. Gandalf to Barliman.

[Kath]

I thought you had it when you asked for R! Very nice job Dimturiel, you are of course correct. :)

[Dimturiel]

Why, thank you. :D

"`No use. We can't go further. Sméagol said so'"

From "The Black Gate is Closed", at least in my version.

[Dimturiel]

Yep, that's right. Go on.

[Thenamir]

Righto. This is my first foray into Palantir of Fortune, so if this seems too long, let me know. Good luck to all.

[Guinevere]

Ah, of course! *slapping my forhead* Well done, Dimturiel! :)

(That I didn't remember it just shows that this is one of the few poems I am not so fond of and have consequently hardly ever reread.)

[Thenamir]

Sorry for the delay, Dimturiel, that was spot on. The floor is yours!

EDIT: Going back, I noticed that you had the word "slowly" which actually should be "softly". For shame! :rolleyes:

[Guinevere]

the quote is just as I guessed already yesterday:

"Speak no words of omen. For there may be more roads than one that could bear that name."

It seems familiar, but I can't find it where I suspected it. :confused:
Is it said by Gandalf?

Perhaps someone else will recognize it.

[Dimturiel]

You've got the quote, but not the character. :p HINT: It's in ROTK

[Finduilas]

Is it either Aragorn, or someone talking to Aragorn, about the Paths of the Dead? I'm not sure who it is.

[Dimturiel]

Someone talking about the Paths of the Dead, yes, but not Aragorn, and not to him, either :p . Anyway, I'll be gone for a week, so I guess Guinevere can have it since she's got the quote right.

[Guinevere]

At last I found the exact place! :)

It's Théoden answering Merry, (in "The Muster of Rohan"), who had said: "I will be ready, even if you bid me ride with you on the Paths of the Dead."

*goes away to find a new quote*

[Guinevere]

OK, since I am authorised by Dimturiel , here is a new quote (if anybody is still willing to guess, that is... ;) )

"-----/ --/ ------/ --/ ----/ -----/. ---/ ----/ -----/ --/ ---/ -----/ -----/ ------/ --/ --/. --/ ----/ ---/ ----/ ---/ ----/ --/ ------; -------/ ----/ --/ -----/ ----/ ---/ ----/."

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I am allways willing. . .

Of late I have just had a tendency to dritf away from the downs.

any E's?

[Estanesse]

Are there any T's

[Guinevere]

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

[Estanesse]

Think an R would help

[Guinevere]

RITE (good choices!)

[Estanesse]

There is malice in this sword. The dark heart of the smith still dwells in it. It will not love the hand it serves, neither will it abide with you long.

Melian to Thingol and Beleg.

[Guinevere]

Yep, that's the one.
Btw welcome back, Estanesse! :) Haven't met you here for a long time..

[Estanesse]

Thank you Guinevere. Barrow downs is like a hobbit hole for hobbits, where ever you go
you always end up there after your long journey :D

This is so much harder/slower when there is so few asking for letters, then again maybe I am just asking for the wrong letters.

"I could not say," said Elrond,"but one may guess that your trolls had plundered other plunderers, or come on the remnants of old robberies in some hold in the mountains."

Elrond answering Thorin's question about how Glamdring and Orcrist had come into the possession of trolls.

I don't know what the last three words are, though, because in my book the sentence ends there. :rolleyes:

[Estanesse]

That’s correct Guinevere. I was looking for "robberies in some hold in the mountains of the north" but there is also a version with "of old "and the one you have that stops after mountain.

[Guinevere]

Thank you, Estanesse! :) Here's a new one:

"Let us remember that a traitor may betray himself and do good that he does not intend. It can be so, sometimes" ....... Good night :)

Yes, that's the one. :)
No doubt you also know who said it, and to whom?

[Estanesse]

Yes, that's the one. :)
No doubt you also know who said it, and to whom?

Gandalf to Pippin


Here is a new one.

“--/ ----/ ---/ ----/; ---/ -/ ----/ ------/ --/, --/ -/ ---/.’

“-o/ --a-/ yo-/ ----/; ---/ -/ ----/ --n-e-/ --/, --/ -/ -ay/.’

AENOSY

[Guinevere]

I don't have my books at the moment, so I'm not sure I am really right, but I think I've got it.Do what you will, yet I will hinder it, if I may. Eowyn to the Witchking by any chance?

[Estanesse]

It's Do what you will; but I will hinder it, if I may, but close close enough :D .

W o w.

Take it away! That was super-quick. :p

[Finduilas]

I was wondering, for the first letter/letters, could we ask for two letters? In example, it's just blanks, could the first person guess e's and r's just to get it started quicker? Not that it is going slow, but I was just wondering if that would be legal.
