Palantir of Fortune!

[Galadriel55]

Indeed there are!

O

"----- / - / ----o-- / --- / ------- / -------_--o- / ----o-- / ----"

[Guinevere]

how about T?

[Galadriel55]

TO (no T)

"----- / - / ----o-- / --- / ------- / -------_--o- / ----o-- / ----"

[Guinevere]

What, no tea for me?;) let's try N then

[Galadriel55]

We have coffee? :p

NOT (no T)

"----- / - / ----on- / --- / ------- / ------n_--o- / ----o-- / ----"

[Guinevere]

Well, it seems I can't do without the obligatory E's...;)

[Galadriel55]

Don't tell me I haven't warned you! :D;):p

NOTE (no T or E )

"----- / - / ----on- / --- / ------- / ------n_--o- / ----o-- / ----"

[Guinevere]

Ha! You managed to find a quote entirely without E's? :eek:

A please

[Galadriel55]

No, I started reading a certain Tolkien book to look for one, but then remembered a nice E-free quote that's not too short or obscure. :)

NOTE (no T or E )

"----- / - / -a--on- / --a / ------- / -a---an_--o- / ----o-- / --a-"

[Guinevere]

How about Ss ?

[Galadriel55]

SANOTE (no T or E )

"----- / - / -a--on- / s-a / --s---- / Sa---an_--o- / ----os- / s-a-"


Now it shouldn't be very difficult. :)

[Guinevere]

"Uglúk u bagronk sha pushdug Saruman-glob búbhosh skai"

No wonder I couldn't figure out any other words ! :D

[Galadriel55]

This is, of course, correct!

No wonder I couldn't figure out any other words ! :D

Haha, yes, orcish slang uses the letters that aren't very common in regular English, and doesn't use those that are. :)

I just wish Foley was around for this one...


Ah well, I'll just have to find another one without E's. Maybe not for next time, but eventually...

[Folwren]

Oh no! I missed the no 'e' sentence?? Dear me! How unfortunate.

[Guinevere]

OK, here is the next one:

"-----/!" (said .....) "-----/ -----/! -/ ----/ -----/ ---/ --/ ---/ ----/. ---/ ----/ -----/ ------/ --/ ---/ ------/ -/ ----/ ---------/ ---/."

[Galadriel55]

Do I have to say which letter I would like to guess? :Merisu::D

[Guinevere]

;)

"-----/!" (said .....) "-----/ -----/! -/ ---e/ ---e-/ ---/ --/ --e/ ----/. ---/ ---e/ -e-e-/ ----e-/ -e/ ---/ ------/ -/ ---e/ -e-----e-/ ---/."

[Eruhen]

R, please!

[Galadriel55]

S, if you will.

[Guinevere]

ERS good choice! :)

"-rr--/!" (said .....) "-----/ -rr--/! -/ ---e/ s--e-/ ---/ --/ --e/ --s-/. ---/ ---e/ -e-er/ ----e-/ -e/ ---/ -----s/ -/ ---e/ re-----e-/ ---/."

[Galadriel55]

"Arrow!" said the bowman. "Black arrow! I have saved you to the last. You have never failed me and always I have recovered you."

~Bard, just before he shoots Smaug.

[Guinevere]

Well done, Galadriel55! (I knew the R's would give it away...:p)

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"a"s?

[Galadriel55]

A

[Galadriel55]

Good choice!

TAR

(fixed some mistakes - I put an R in the wrong word)

[Guinevere]

I guess there must be some E's here ;)

[Galadriel55]

Well, you know, you don't find E-less sentences of such length lying on a highway! ;)

RATE

"--- / -ee / --t- / -t-er / e-e- / t-a- / ---e /," said [...]. "-- / --- / tr- / t- / -ea- / t-e- / -r-- / e--- /, t-e- / ---- / -a-- / --- /. - / ----t / t-e- /, a-- / --e / ---t / -- / a-- /."

"You see with other eyes than mine," said Beleg. "If you try to wean them from evil, they will fail you. I doubt them and one most of all."

[Galadriel55]

Well done!

And yes,E's are very useful indeed. :D

[Guinevere]

Thank you!:)

"------/, ------/, --------/ ---/ ----/ --/ ------/! -/ ------/, ----/ ---/ ---/ ----/ --/ ----/ ------/ -----/?"

[Galadriel55]

Ah, welll, E's please.

[Guinevere]

"------/, ------/, -e-e--e-/ --e/ -e--/ --/ -e-e--/! -/ ------/, ----/ ---/ ---/ -e--/ --/ ----/ ----e-/ -----/?"

I probably should have put in the E's right from the start! ;)
Btw, there are some names in this quote, but I shall not write the capitals as it would be too obvious! (When this game was started, many years ago, we first used only capitals for this reason. But now it doesn't let you do this anymore.)

[Galadriel55]

S's, how about?

[Guinevere]

ES

"------/, ------/, -e-e--e-/ --e/ -e-s/ --/ se-e--/! -/ ------/, ----/ ---/ ---/ -e--/ --/ ----/ ----e-/ ----s/?"

[Galadriel55]

A please!

[Erendis]

May I interfere and ask for N's?

[Guinevere]

SANE

"------/, ------/, -e-e--e-/ --e/ -ens/ --/ se-e--/! -/ ------/, ----/ ---/ n--/ -ea-/ -n/ ----/ ----en/ -a--s/?"

SANER

"--r---/, --r---/, -e-e--er/ --e/ -ens/ --/ sere--/! -/ --r---/, ----/ ---/ n--/ -ear/ -n/ ---r/ ----en/ -a--s/?"

[Galadriel55]

You know that feeling when the quote looks familiar - the "shape" of it, the phrasing, the rhythm, etc - but you just can't get hold of enough of these associations to really figure it out? :cool::smokin:


T's please.

[Guinevere]

I know exactly what you mean!!:)

ASTERN (Well, I guess that's done it!)

"T-r---/, t-r---/, -e-e--er/ t-e/ -ens/ --/ sere--/! -/ t-r---/, ----/ ---/ n-t/ -ear/ -n/ ---r/ ----en/ -a--s/?"

N's please

[Galadriel55]

You know what's scary? As I was putting in the last letters, I thought it would be nice if someone guessed N...because then it spells

Nice one. :) I've went over Eowyn, Luthien, Morwen and Nienor, and a bunch of other damsels who talk about parting before comming to this. :)

[Eruhen]

Considering I'm reading the Silm right now, you think I would have got this sooner. I had it figured out, but couldn't find who said it. Great job, G55!

"In that despair my enemy was my only hope, and I pursued him, clutching at his heel."

Gandalf, describing his fight with the Balrog after the fall from the bridge

[Aganzir]

Correct. Your turn. :)

Thank you, Aganzir!

[Galadriel55]

Ok, I have the quote, but I had to use Google to locate it in the text. So I shall wait for someone to claim it without cheating like I did. :)

[Aganzir]

I did the same because I had no idea where it was from. :o :D

[LadyBrooke]

Lol...and I know it, and where it's from, and who the person is speaking to, but I'm blanking on the actual person speaking (plus, I've been absent for months). So who else knows it?

[Aganzir]

You could always check it in the book. That's not cheating. :p

[LadyBrooke]

Yeah, but (at the risk of angering the chat squirrels, please don't hurt me) I'm in the process of packing to leave college for the semester...and I'm not sure how kindly my roommate would take to me unpacking all the books.

So...anyone else?

[Guinevere]

Never mind the speaker, any of you who got the quote, go ahead!
I'm sorry if I picked something too obscure. I thought Galadriel55 might recognize it because of the ongoing chapter-by-chapter discussion...

[LadyBrooke]

"Is this then a tomb? But what great man of old lies here?"

From UT...and whoever it is is speaking to Cirion, as I recall.

I don't think it was too obscure...I just am packing up, and couldn't look for it in the actual book.

[Galadriel55]

Well done L_B!

I thought Galadriel55 might recognize it because of the ongoing chapter-by-chapter discussion...

Well, the last time I held UT was in December... which explains my lame participation in the discussions now compared to the earlier ones...

[Guinevere]

That's right, LadyBrooke! (btw, it is "the Lord of Dol Amroth" speaking.)

Sorry, Galadriel! You wrote such excellent posts, I couldn't believe you still had no U.T at hand.

[LadyBrooke]

Sorry I'm just now posting this...finals are evil.

Anyways, I'm ready with the next sentence :)

[Aganzir]

The previous post probably means you have decided on a sentence, but it's customary to start with posting the blank lines. :)

[LadyBrooke]

Strange thing is, I thought I had...sorry guys, it's been a rough few months. Let's just place the toll at one town wiped out, 3 relatives in the hospital at various times, 1 dead puppy, and my mind. Again, I'm sorry. :o

"-- -- ---- ---- -- ----- -- --- -----? --- ----- -- ---- ---- --- ----- -- ---- ----- ----!"

[Galadriel55]

I hope it gets better for you soon, Lady_Brooke!

For now, how about a simple E or two?

[LadyBrooke]

Thanks G55! And a good choice

E

"-- -- ---- ---- -e -e--- -- --- -----? -e- ----e -e ---- -e-- --- ----- -- ---e ---e- ---e!"

[Aganzir]

I thought you'd played enough to know, but just wanted to make sure because no one was posting. And I too hope it gets better soon!

R please.

[LadyBrooke]

Yeah, I had played enough, I'm just scatter-brained at the moment. Thanks! And another good choice. :D

"-- -- ---- ---- -e -e--- -- --r -----? -e- ----e -e ---- -e-r --- -r--- -- ---e ---er ---e!"

[Galadriel55]

Both good choices, but neither gives a lot. A's please?

[LadyBrooke]

True, but they're close to forming a word. ;)

ARE

A good choice!

Imrahil to Éomer before the Houses of Healing, when Pippin calls Aragorn "Strider"

[LadyBrooke]

Correct! :D I love Imrahil...

Your turn!

[Guinevere]

Thank you!

How can we do without E's? :Merisu:

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"i"s?

[Folwren]

Woah. I'd say enough vowels have been guessed. Give me some s's to spice it up.

[Guinevere]

IDEA SO
