Thanks. Here's the next one.

[Aganzir]

Some D's for me, please.

[Guinevere]

somehow I had assumed that T had already been asked since there is one in the second word, but I see now that there must be more of them!

[Nerwen]

WASH DT

"Th---/ -----ast-----/ th-/ -a--d/ s---/ sha--/ --d---/ th-/ t-----t/ --/ h-s/ s----/, ------d/ --/
h-s/ ---s/, ----ss/ th--/ ----d/ t-/ --/ th-/ -ast---/ --/ th-/ t-w--/."

You're right, Guinevere, that "t" in the second word was an accident.:o Or at least premature. I must have put it in without thinking.

[Dimturiel]

Any E's?

[Guinevere]

[Guinevere]

Now it should be easy.

Indeed!:)

Oh yes- I guess it might have occurred to me also had I not been lured away by the Finnish word.

ORD

"O---/, --/ ---/ ----/ o-/ -ordor/!"

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

M.... F...that last word is Mordor for sure!

[Nerwen]

GreatElvenWarrior, I'm not sure whether you're asking for M or F. Here, have M.

MORD

"O---/, --/ ---/ --m-/ o-/ Mordor/!"

[Aganzir]

So, let me take F then.

[Nerwen]

M FORD

"O---/, --/ ---/ --m-/ of/ Mordor/!"

[Thenamir]

"Open, in the name of Mordor!"

[Nerwen]

You've got it, Thenamir.:)

(N.B. I believe you're supposed to mention who said the line and when.)

[Thenamir]

There was a faint stir in the leaves, and a cock crowed far away. The cold hour before dawn was passing. The figure by the door moved. In the dark without moon or stars a drawn blade gleamed, as if a chill light had been unsheathed. There was a blow, soft but heavy, and the door shuddered.

'Open, in the name of Mordor!' said a voice thin and menacing.

At a second blow the door yielded and fell back, with timbers burst and lock broken. The black figures passed swiftly in.


Now for my turn. A shorter one this time, I think, like the last one.

'_ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ _ !'

What is just ridicules?

[McCaber]

M, Y, N, K, U, R, C

That.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

That.
Why is that redicules? Really, I'd like to know.

[Guinevere]

Because you're only allowed to ask for one letter at a time. (If you ask for all the letters at once, there is no challenge at all)

So I'll add M since this is first in your list. Perhaps you, or someone else, can then already guess the rest...;)

Of course, Guinevere. The thread is yours to command.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

(Thank you for asking for the i's, GreatElvenWarrior!)Well there was a one letter word and I had already guesses and "A" so it had to be an "I".

Good job, you're very good at this game!

[Guinevere]

Thank you! (I've had a lot of practice!;) )

Here is a new one for you to guess:

"--/ ----/ --/ ------/. -/ --/ --/ --/ -------/. ---/ ----/ --/ -----/ ------/ -------/ -/ -----/ ---/ ---/ --/ -------/. -/ ------/ ---/ -----/ -------/. -/ ----/ ----/, ---/ -/ ----/ ---/, ---/ -/ ------/ ------/!"

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

How about an "A"?

[Aganzir]

And some T again, please.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

"i"?

[Guinevere]

AIT (sorry for the delay!)

"--/ ----/ i-/ ------/. I/ --/ t-/ --/ -at----/. A--/ ----/ i-/ t--i-/ -i--t-/ -------/ I/ --a--/ --t/ ---/ --/ as-----/. I/ ------/ t--/ --a--/ ------t/. A/ --i-/ ----/, a--/ a/ --a-/ -a-/, a--/ a/ ------/ -----t/!"

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

N?

[Guinevere]

AIN'T

"--/ ----/ i-/ -----n/. I/ --/ t-/ --/ -at----/. An-/ ---n/ in/ t--i-/ -i--t-/ ----an-/ I/ --a--/ n-t/ n--/ --/ as-----/. I/ ------/ t--/ --a--/ -----nt/. A/ --i-/ ---n/, an-/ a/ --a-/ -a-/, an-/ a/ -----n/ --n--t/!"

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

D's?

[McCaber]

While I really want to ask for Y just to spell "DAINTY", that's not going to happen. Instead, I ask for an "S".

[Aganzir]

An O, please.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"r"s?

[Guinevere]

RAIN DOTS

"--/ -od-/ is/ -ro--n/. I/ -o/ to/ --/ -at--rs/. And/ ---n/ in/ t--ir/ -i--t-/ -o--an-/ I/ s-a--/ not/ no-/ --/ as-a--d/. I/ -----d/ t--/ --a--/ s-r--nt/. A/ -ri-/ -orn/, and/ a/ --ad/ da-/, and/ a/ -o-d-n/ s-ns-t/!"

Someone might guess it now;)

[McCaber]

Right you are, Guinevere. The answer is this:

"My body is broken, I go to my fathers. And even in their mighty company I shall not now be ashamed. I felled the black serpent. A grim morn, and a glad day, and a golden sunset!"

[Guinevere]

Well done, McCaber!

[McCaber]

Thank you. All right, here's the next quote:

"---/ ----/ ---/ --/ --/ ---/ ------/, -------/. -----/ ----/ ------/ --/ ----/ ----/, ---/ --/ ------/, ---/ ----/ -/ ---/ ----/ -------/ ----/ -----/, ---/ ----/ ---/."

[Aganzir]

It seems I will never have enough of T parties.

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

A?

[Guinevere]

Are there any O's?

[McCaber]

OAT

"-o-/ ---t/ -ot/ -o/ to/ t--/ -a----/, ---o-a-/. T----/ ----/ a--a--/ --/ -o--/ -o--/, ---/ o-/ --tt--/, a--/ ----/ a/ ---/ ----/ --a----/ ----/ -----/, --o/ ----/ -o-/."

Merry: "You must not go to the havens, Legolas. There will always be some folk, big or little, and even a few wise dwarves like Gimli, who need you."

Sorry, I just couldn't resist...

[McCaber]

Of course, Guinevere. Looks like I need some tougher quotes. The thread is yours.

[Guinevere]

"If none can release us,"said Maglor, "then indeed the everlasting darkness will be our lot, whether we keep our oath or break it; but less evil shall we do in the breaking."

[Aganzir]

Well chosen letters, and well figured out. The thread is yours, Guinevere. :)

[Guinevere]

Thank you, Aganzir! It was just my luck that those letters revealed a crucial word :)

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

Sorry for the delay! It shouldn't be difficult now, with all those letters...;)

"I am not a tree-root, Sir," he said, "nor a bag, but a bruised hobbit. The least you can do in amends is to tell me what is afoot."
