Palantir of Fortune!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

How short the memory of mortals. It's only been three and a half years.

:p

Why not start a new one instead? :)

Makes sense, it was about the last time I had all my Tolkien books lying around the living room, as I was trying to do some in depth nerding.

Then I moved, and I have only occasionally taken a Tolkien book down from the shelf in that time.

"- --- - ----- -----" said... "---- --- ---- --? ------ --- ---!" said... "---- --!"

[Galadriel55]

I am gonna be traditional and ask for Es.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

"- -ee - --e-- ----e" said... "---- --- ---- -e? -----e --- ---!" said... "---e --!"

[Galadriel55]

How about D?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

How about D?

Why of course.


"- -ee - --e-- ----e" said... "---- --- ---- -e? -----e --d ---!" said... "--de --!"

[Galadriel55]

That was less productive than I hoped. Could I have an N, please?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Same same but different.

"- -ee - --e-- ----e" said... "---- --- ---- -e? -----e -nd ---!" said... "--de -n!"

[Galadriel55]

Same same but different.

Oh but it's absolutely different! Because together, they mean the end of the phrase is "ride on"! I thought at first it would be Eomer's exclamation on the way to Minas Tirith, but that's not the case. However, riding is not so nebulous in LOTR to make a skim of the likely places impossible.

"I see a great smoke," said Legolas. "What may that be?"
"Battle and war!" said Gandalf. "Ride on!"

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

At first I had written "I dare say that made all the difference", but thought it too toungue in cheek. Little did I know just how right I was... how right we both are!

The thread is yours.

[Galadriel55]

The thread is yours.

Thank'ee kindly! That was quite a turn of expectations, I think for both of us. I certainly did not expect to have it with only 3 letters, two of which are minimally present.

I was a bit puzzled because in my edition of LotR it is "saddle-skirts" not skins. But everything else matches, so I guess it is right.

L. There’s a lot of exclamation points in that quote.

[Guinevere]

AL

"--a- --- --- ----- -- --- ---- -- ---l---! ---- -a-- -- --l--ll-- . -- -a-- a-- -----l- --- --- -all--- ---- a----! ---a-- a-- -- a- ----!"

[Morsul the Dark]

I’m torn between T F and C

I think T will give me the most information though.

[Guinevere]

ALT

"--a- --- t-- ----- -- t-- ---- -- ---l---! ---- -at- -- --l--ll-- . -- -a-- a-- t----l- --t t-- -all--- ---- a----! ---a-t a-- -- at ---t !"

T-time!

Hmm. I’ll try F.

[Morsul the Dark]

“Hear now the words of the Heir of Isildur! Your oath is fulfilled. Go back and trouble not the valleys ever again! Depart and be at rest!”

Aragorn to the army of the dead

[Guinevere]

Yes, very good, Morsul! I guess that "fulfilled" was the keyword here ;)

Where are all the other guessers??:rolleyes:

Theo (https://youtu.be/75kaaI93l44)

I don't know what in the heck that was that I just watched, but I want more.

Also

Where now are the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?

Theoden King, right?

Haha, another Theo...! Morsul, I like you and your humor <3

[Morsul the Dark]

Correct! Though the version I have says “where now the horse and the rider” which I’m not sure was a translation error or just worded odd

[Blind Guardian]

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

[Morsul the Dark]

How do y’all make hyphens work anytime I try it’s like “oh you wanted one long line right?”

Anyhow

T

[Guinevere]

A please

[Blind Guardian]

How do y’all make hyphens work anytime I try it’s like “oh you wanted one long line right?”

Anyhow

T

For me, the underscore becomes one line. Hyphens don't. --- ____



"---t --t a-- --- -a- - ----- t-- ----- -a- -- t-- ----- -----, a-- --- -a- -t-- at t----t--- a-- -a-- a-- t-- -a- ---- --- ----, -- -- -a-- -- ------- --a-."

I also had one less hyphen on the last word. It's correct now.

[Morsul the Dark]

Please

[Blind Guardian]

"---t --t a-- --- -a- - -h--- th- ----- -a- -- th- ----- h----, a-- --- -a- -t-- at th---t--- a-- ha-- a-- th- -a- ---- --- ----, -- -- -a-- -- ------- --a-."

the mad HATter

[Morsul the Dark]

Well. “At thrusting” doesn’t make much sense but Thrusting is the only word coming to Mind that fits in that spot.

Wait no. Thirteen fits.

“Just let any one say I chose the wrong man or the wrong house, and you can stop at thirteen and have all the bad luck you like, or go back to digging coal.”

Gandalf in the Hobbit

[Blind Guardian]

:D :D

You got it!

[Morsul the Dark]

No, no! * ***’* *** *n* *o**. * *on’* ******** *n**h*n* ****.

HON

[Guinevere]

Are there any Os ?

[Morsul the Dark]

I’ll (https://youtu.be/dydri88oZqw) get back to you as soon as I remember what the quote I picked was.

[Morsul the Dark]

*o, *o! * ***’* *** *** *o**. * *o*’* ******** ******** ****.

O

So the problem is I try to pick completely irrelevant quotes like conversation about the weather or something completely boring so it’s not obvious. Which of course makes it also easier to forget so I made a new one. A bit obvious considering but there it is.

[Blind Guardian]

H

Put a bookmark in your page!

[Morsul the Dark]

*o, *o! * ***’* *** *** *o**. * *o*’* ******** ****h*** ****.

OH

Indeed

[Blind Guardian]

What?? There's not even a "the" in there? I'm shocked!

Hmm....how about an N?

[Morsul the Dark]

No, no! * ***’* *** *n* *o**. * *on’* ******** *n**h*n* ****.

HON

HON HON HON (https://youtu.be/KU3RCJgAShw)

"No, no! I can't say anymore. I don't remember anything else."

Pippin, when questioned by Gandalf, after he had pinched the Palantìr and looked into it.


:)I just recently heard this when listening for the umpteenth time to my LotR audiobook.

[Morsul the Dark]

Aye I also figured an apt replacement for the quote I forgot

[Guinevere]

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

[Morsul the Dark]

Hmmm

I think a T will be a good start

[Guinevere]

T-Time

"-t'-/ --/ ---/ ----/ --/ -----/ ------/ --/ ----/, --/ -/ ------/ ---./ ---/ ---'-/ ----/ --/ ----/ --tt--!"

[Morsul the Dark]

I think D will shed some light

[Guinevere]

TD

"-t'-/ --/ ---/ ---d/ --/ -----/ ----d-/ --/ ---d/, --/ -/ ------/ ---./ --d/ ---'-/ ----/ --/ --d-/ --tt--!"

[Blind Guardian]

E?

[Morsul the Dark]

[Morsul the Dark]

TD

"-t'-/ --/ ---/ ---d/ --/ -----/ ----d-/ --/ ---d/, --/ -/ ------/ ---./ --d/ ---'-/ ----/ --/ --d-/ --tt--!"

‘It’s an ill wind as blows nobody no good, as I always say. And All’s well as ends Better!’

Grey Havens Gaffer

[Guinevere]

:eek:Wow, Morsul, you found that out without the E's and R's, with only two letters!
Well done! :)

[Morsul the Dark]

I’ll put one up soon.

Well the D helped because it limited what the last word could be. I was stuck on “butter” for a while until today at work someone mentioned “that’s better” about something or other and it clicked.

[Morsul the Dark]

*ut *our u*l* ***e out o* *i**t, or it *ill *et *urt.

[Blind Guardian]

Imma go E again. :D

[Morsul the Dark]

No Ns

[Guinevere]

how about some T then?

[Morsul the Dark]

**t **** **** ***e **t ** ****t, ** *t **** *et ***t.

NET

Net gain of six Ts

[Guinevere]

May I ask for O as well?

[Morsul the Dark]

**t *o** **** ***e o*t o* ****t, o* *t **** *et ***t.

TONE

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

[Blind Guardian]

An I will help, methinks

[Morsul the Dark]

**t *o** **** ***e o*t o* *i**t, o* it *i** *et ***t.

OI! Net! I dunno

[Guinevere]

Hm... can I have the R's ?

[Morsul the Dark]

**t *o*r **** ***e o*t o* *i**t, or it *i** *et **rt.

RINO ET

ET Tu RINO?

[Blind Guardian]

An L?

[Guinevere]

I think the U's might be useful...

[Morsul the Dark]

*ut *our u*l* ***e out o* *i**t, or it *ill *et *urt.

UNTIL RIO

The plan was going so well…. Until Rio.

[Blind Guardian]

Put your ugly face out of sight or it will get hurt?

:D :eek: :confused: /there's no laugh cry emoji/

Complete guess here. If I'm right, imma throw something.

[Morsul the Dark]

Hold on. *ducks behind counter* ok go ahead and start throwing. You got it!

[Guinevere]

Argh, I'd never have found that one! (I thought the first word was "but" and that put me on a wrong track) Congrats, Blind Guardian!

[Blind Guardian]

Ah! Do you know how heavy some hard covered books are?

I kid. I put that together without use of the books and I would love to know who said it and when!

But without further ado!

"- -- --- ----- ----: ------, ----- --- --------- -- --- --- -----, --- --- ------ --- -----, --- ---- --."

[Guinevere]

Can I have A please

(Ah, I now found the previous quote: Sam said that to Bill Ferney when the company left Bree. And right afterwards he threw an apple at him!)
