Palantir of Fortune!

[Folwren]

Yeah, it wasn't to tough after those letters.

Is this too short?

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

[Took_Gamgee13]

Any 'A's?

[Galadriel55]

I don't think it's too short...

E's please!

[Folwren]

Two good letters.

AE


"-e/ --a---/ ---/ a---e." "---/ -----/ --e/ -e---e/ ----/ -----e/ -e--."

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"L"s?

[Folwren]

ALE

"-e --a---/ ---/ al--e." "---/ ---l-/ --e/ -e---e/ ----/ -----e/ -ell."

[Guinevere]

N please

[Aganzir]

Would there be a D?

[Folwren]

I think that may be enough for someone to get it...

ALEND

"-e/ --and-/ n--/ al-ne." "---/ ---ld/ d-e/ -e---e/ ----/ -----e/ -ell."

[Galadriel55]

Indeed.

"He stands not alone," said Legolas. "You would die before your stroke fell."

~TTT, The Riders of Rohan. Legolas to Eomer.

[Folwren]

Correct. Take 'er away.

[Galadriel55]

Sorry guys! :( I kinda forgot to make a note to myself to post up a new one.

It's a bit short, but it's recognisable.

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

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"a"s?

[Galadriel55]

Good choice!

A

"--a-- / --- / -a- / --- / --a-- / -- / -- / a- / a / ---- /."

[Guinevere]

S please

[Galadriel55]

AS

"--a-- / --- / -a- / --- / --a-- / -- / -- / as / a / ---- /."

[Aganzir]

R?

[Guinevere]

how about T?

[Galadriel55]

RATS

"--at- / --- / -a- / --t / -ra-- / -- / -- / as / a / ---- /."

[Glorthelion]

I

[Galadriel55]

RATS (no I)

"--at- / --- / -a- / --t / -ra-- / -- / -- / as / a / ---- /."

[Glorthelion]

There must be an "E" then.

[Galadriel55]

RATES (no I)

"-eat- / --- / -a- / -et / -ra-e / -- / -e / as / a / ---- /."

[Guinevere]

O please

[Galadriel55]

ORATES (no I)

"-eat- / -o- / -a- / -et / -ra-e / o- / -e / as / a / -oo- /."

I think this may be the final straw... :)

[Guinevere]

Indeed!:)

[MCRmyGirl4eva]

Haha! I didn't get that one. *fail* :smokin:

[Guinevere]

Yep, you've got it!:)

[Galadriel55]

"--- / ----- / -- / - / ----- / ----- / ---- /, ---- / --- /; --- / - / ---'- / --- / --- / ---- / ---- /. --- / -- / --- / ---- / - / ---- / -- / --- / ------ /!"

"The curse of a Dwarf never dies, they say; but a Man's too may come home. May he die with a dart in his throat!"

[Guinevere]

H please :D

MCRmyGirl4eva, there are H's already. I think you chould ask another letter.

As for me, could I please have some O's?

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"N"s, please.

[Guinevere]

SHONE

"---e-e--/! O/ --n----/!" "---/ -o-/ e-e-/ ---e--/ -he-e/ -o-/ --e/ -os-/ nee-e-/ -n-/ -e-s-/ e--e--e-/!"

"----------- / - / ---- / ----- / --- / ------ /," said someone, "--- / ---- / ----- / -- / -- / ------- /, --- / -- / --- / ---- / -- / -- / ------- /."

Look at the word with the capital "E". It gives the whole quote away. ;)

[MCRmyGirl4eva]

I would like a few Y's

[Galadriel55]

THEIR SOWY

"-o-ethe-ess / I / wi-- / -r--t / thy / -r-yer /," said someone, "--- / tho- / sh--t / -o / to / Ei-i-e- /, --- / -e / set / -ree / o- / -y / ser-i-e /."

[Folwren]

"Nonetheless I will grant thy prayer, and thou shalt go to Eilinel, and be set free of my services."

Don't know who said it to whom nor when it was said.

[Galadriel55]

It was Sauron, just before he killed Gorlim (in The Sil). Go ahead with it, Foley!

[Folwren]

Okay. It is QUITE evident that I need to re-read the Silm.

Here's the next one:

"----/ --/ ---/ -----/ ----/ ------/, ---/ ---/ --/ --------/ --/ -/ -----/ ------/? --/ ---/ ----/ ---/ --/: ---/ -----/ --/ ---/ -----/ -----/. --/ ---/ -----/ --/ ------/ --------."

[Galadriel55]

My favourite E's, please, just as always. ;)

[Folwren]

And, as always, there are many of them.

E

"--e-/ -e/ ---/ ----e/ ---e/ ----e-/, ---/ ---/ --/ --------/ --/ -/ -----/ ---e--/? -e/ ---/ ---e/ ---/ -e/: --e/ ----e/ --/ --e/ ----e/ ---e-/. -e/ --e/ -----/ --/ -----e/ ---e--e-."

[Galadriel55]

I figured out part of it, but I have no clue where it may come from. S please!

Don't you have enough heat where you are?

Enough? Possibly. Too much? No. :) It's quite nice right now. I'd love to spend time outside if only I didn't love spending time on the Downs more. :D

-Gandalf in The White Rider

[Folwren]

Well done. I knew you could get it.

[MCRmyGirl4eva]

Ahhh! I suck at this :( :o

[Galadriel55]

Ahhh! I suck at this

Don't get upset over it. :) We all suck when we start new things. I think I was asking for letters for a few months before I actually got a quote. ;)


"---- / ---- / ---- /!" he said. "--- / - / ---- / ------- / -- / ---- / -- / ---- /, -- / ------- / -- /. - / ----- / ---- / ------ / --- / - / ----- / ---- / -- / ---- / ------ /. --- / --'- / ---- / --- / ------ / ------ /, ---- / --- / ---- /."

[Folwren]

Yeah. It took me a long time before I started getting quotes, so don't stress.

Okay, let's start this off with a bang!

T's, please.

How that constitutes a bang is beyond me, though, so don't ask.

[Galadriel55]

Banged T's

"---- / ---- / ---- /!" he said. "--- / - / ---- / --t---- / t- / ---- / -t / --t- /, -- / ------t / -t /. - / ----- / ---- / ------ / --- / - / ----- / ---- / -- / ---- / --t--- /. --- / --'- / ---- / --- / ------ / ------ /, ---- / --- / ---- /."

[Folwren]

Three? Three measly T's? We'll have to do better than that, love.

S's, now.

[Folwren]

Haha...never mind. I can't count tonight. There are decidedly more than three T's. :rolleyes:

[Galadriel55]

TS (and bang....whatever it is)

"---- / ---- / ---- /!" he said. "--- / - / ---- / --t---- / t- / ---- / -t / --t- /, -- / ------t / -t /. - / ----- / ---- / s----- / --- / - / ----- / ---- / -- / ---- / --t--- /. --t / --'s / ---- / --- / ------ / ------ /, ---- / --- / ---- /."


(Missed a T, now fixed. Why can I never do a quote without missing some letter? :rolleyes::o Just watch me miss an S this time...)

[Folwren]

That's a bit lame.

I succumb. E's.

[Galadriel55]

E's rule. :smokin: ;)


bang SET

"---- / ---- / ---- /!" he said. "--- / - / ---e / --t---- / t- / ---- / -t / --t- /, -- / ------t / -t /. - / ----- / ---e / s---e- / --- / - / ----e / ---- / -- / ---e / --t-e- /. --t / -e's / ---e / --- / -e---- / -e---- /, ---e / --- / e-e- /."

[Folwren]

That's better.

Last one before bed:

[Galadriel55]

bang SEAT

"Your poor hand!" he said. "And I have nothing to bind it with, or comfort it. I would have spared him a whole hand of mine rather. But he's gone now beyond recall, gone for ever."

R S T L N E ! Then it's Palantir of Fortune!

[Folwren]

I'm confused.

I'll take the first letter - "R" - and add that to my collection. :)

It should have clicked earlier...

"The star-glass?" muttered Frodo... "Why yes! Why had I forgotten it? A light when all other lights go out! And now indeed light alone can help us."

Correct! Your go.

"-- / ------ / -- / ---------- /," said someone. "---- / -- / --- / -- / ---- / ------- / -- / ---- /. -- / ---- / --- / ---- / -- / -- / --------_------ /; --- / -- / --- / ----- / -- / -- / --- / ---- / -- / ---- / --- / ------- / --- / ----- /."

The underscore is a dash.

[MCRmyGirl4eva]

R S T L N E (Please somebody understand it)
Wheel Of Fortune give you those letters and then you start guessing letters.
I would know, my grandmother watched it all the time

[Guinevere]

let's start with A

"-- / ------ / -- / -------a-- /," said someone. "--a- / -- / --- / -- / -a-- / ------- / -- / ---- /. -- / ---- / --- / ---- / -- / -- / -a------_-a---- /; --- / -- / a-- / ----- / -- / -- / --- / ---- / -- / ---- / --- / -a-a---- / --- / ----- /."


MCR, I looked it up, and these are the most commonly asked letters in Wheel of Fortune. But I still can't understand what you are trying to say. Here you only ask 1 letter at a time.

[MCRmyGirl4eva]

Yeah, I know. R-S-T-L-N-E; those are the five letters that they automatically give the person who reaches the bonus round. Then, they let you guess three consanants and a vowel, then you have to hazard a guess in under 30 seconds.

I know that you only guess one letter here; I was merely hoping somebody would appreciate the joke.

Now, the most commonly used letter in the English language: E

Sorry if I confused anybody, though. I just had to have a little laugh.

[Galadriel55]

*high-fives MCR* E's are the way to go! :cool:

[MCRmyGirl4eva]

*misses the high five due to severe lack of hand-eye coordination and gets smacked in the face by Galadriel 55* Well, that went well. LOL. :)

any R's?

What book is it from, because we only have the Trilogy, the Hobbit, and The Sil

[Galadriel55]

A HIRE

"-- / ---r-e / -e / ---er--a-- /," said someone. "-ha- / i- / -h- / -e / ha-e / -e-i-e- / -- / ---e /. -e / ---- / -he / Ri-- / i- / -- / -a--hi--_-a--er /; --- / -e / are / --i-- / -- / -- / --r / -e-- / -- / he-- / --- / -a-ai--- / -he / E-e-- /."

It's from one of the books that you have. The quotes are usually from one of them. Once in a while there will be one from Children of Hurin (usually from me, since I adore that book), or from Unfinished Tales (a book that I don't have either). But mostly LOTR or TH, and The Sil.

[crescendo.]

An "O" please

[crescendo.]

This is MCR.

I would like a U, just to polish off the vowels. Thanks! *Ducks cresendo's flying fist*

[Galadriel55]

You two post too fast for me to follow! As soon as I have something here I see a new post in the Novices sub-forum, and before I read that there's more here.... gotta learn how to type faster...

I guess it's a bit obscure... It's a LOTR quote.

"Of course we understand," said Merry firmly. "That is why we have decided to come. We know the Ring is no laughing-matter; but we are going to do our best to help you against the Enemy."

" You speak for me, Gimli," laughed Legolas "though I would sooner learn how they came by the wine."

In "The road to Isengard", when, to their surprise, they meet Merry & Pippin "feasting, idling and smoking amid the wreck of Isengard"

[Folwren]

Augh! I KNEW that was it! At least, I knew it was in that area. That's what comes of looking for something at 1:30 in the morning.

Good job, Guinevere. Nice to have you back. Makes the game more challenging.

[MCRmyGirl4eva]

Yep, that's it! Don't yo love wine-drunk wood-elves?

(Posting on behalf of cresendo., as she is too lazy to post.)

Guinevere, take it away!

Great job, Nerwen! You came unexpectedly, as always, to answer the question! :)

[Nerwen]

Or steal it, perhaps? Sorry...

Oh, and I should have said: it's Dernhelm speaking to Merry.

[Galadriel55]

Or steal it, perhaps? Sorry...

Well come on, you guessed it right, who cares if you didn't name any letters before? What I'm saying is that you don't really frequent the Quotes and Quiz fora, but you come once in a while to out of the blue give the right answer, as often as not to a question that half the Downs' population was beating their heads over. Which is meant to be a compliment, not something you apologize for. :p:)

[Guinevere]

Well done, Nerwen! Your turn!:)

Thanks, Nerwen. I did. The funny thing is, I looked at that word yesterday while filling out the s's, I think, and thought there were too many letters. I am incompetent so late at night, I see.
