Palantir of Fortune "Minor Works" edition

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"k"s?

[Estelyn Telcontar]

...and S, please.

[Guinevere]

KLOSTH ( no C)

"Look/ -t/ th-/ t---/ h-/ --st--/, -ot/ ----/ ---s---/ h--s-l-! H-/ -----/ -ot/ -----/ -o-/ h-s/ -o-----/."

[Estelyn Telcontar]

R there any Rs?

I'm searching, since the first word is complete , but I don't have a clear idea of the speaker or location yet.

[Guinevere]

KLORSTH ( no C)

"Look/ -t/ th-/ t---/ h-/ --st--/, -ot/ ----/ ---s---/ h--s-l-! H-/ ----r/ -ot/ r----/ -or/ h-s/ -o-r---/."

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"i"s?

[Guinevere]

HIKLORST ( no C)

"Look/ -t/ th-/ ti--/ h-/ --st--/, -ot/ ----/ ---si--/ hi-s-l-! H-/ ----r/ -ot/ r----/ -or/ his/ -o-r---/."

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Ah! Now I can guess at enough words to know where to look. The quote is: Look at the time he wasted, not even amusing himself! He never got ready for his journey. The speaker is the First Voice, speaking of Niggle in "Leaf".

[Guinevere]

Exactly! :)

[Estelyn Telcontar]

According to that quote, time spent on the Downs is not wasted - we amuse ourselves here!! :D

A new one (with an alternate possibility of amusement):
--/ ---/ -/ ----/ ----/, ---/ --/ ---/ -------/ ---/ -------/.

[Aganzir]

T for me, please.

[Guinevere]

Are there any O's?

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"n"s?

[Estelyn Telcontar]

T O N

-t/ ---/ -/ -oo-/ ----/, -n-/ -t/ ---/ -n-o---/ -n-/ -------/.

[Guinevere]

How about R?

[Estelyn Telcontar]

-t/ ---/ -/ -oo-/ ----/, -n-/ -t/ ---/ -n-o---/ -n-/ -r-----/.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"a"s, please.

[Estelyn Telcontar]

-t/ -a-/ a/ -oo-/ -a--/, an-/ -t/ -a-/ -n-o---/ an-/ -ra----/.

Plenty of A s - good choice!

[Guinevere]

Have you been baking recently, Esty? ;)

"It was a good cake, and it was enjoyed and praised." said Alf to Nokes.

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Actually, I have! And fortunately, my cakes were enjoyed and praised as well.

You have the right quote and speaker, obviously - go ahead with a new one.

[Guinevere]

OK, here's a new one, that may be applicable in busy times:

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

[Estelyn Telcontar]

R there any Rs?

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"u"s?

[Guinevere]

RU (good choices!)

"--/ r---/ --r/ --u/ ---! --r-/ --u/ r--------/ --/ ---?"

[Estelyn Telcontar]

W please.

[Guinevere]

RUW

"--/ r---/ --r/ --u/ ---! W-r-/ --u/ r--------/ --/ ---?"

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"e"s, please.

[Estelyn Telcontar]

...and S too, please.

[Guinevere]

ERSUW

"--/ res-/ --r/ --u/ -e-! Were/ --u/ re-------/ --/ -e-?"

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Hmmm, I suppose a lengthy search would locate the words that are already obvious, but I'd rather get a few more hints to make hunting easier.

Y, please.

[Guinevere]

ERSUWY

"--/ res-/ --r/ y-u/ ye-! Were/ y-u/ re-------/ --/ -e-?"

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"F"s?

[Guinevere]

EFRSUWY

"--/ res-/ f-r/ y-u/ ye-! Were/ y-u/ re-------/ --/ -e-?"

[Estelyn Telcontar]

I have the answer, though not of my own finding; the phantom gave it to me as a present, since he has no time to participate here at the moment. So thank you, phantom; I hope you will show up sometime in the future to join us!

The speaker is Tídwald in The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth: No rest for you yet! Were you reckoning on bed?

[Guinevere]

Correct, of course! :)
Yes, it would be nice if the phantom would join this game, we could certainly do with more participants!

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Here's a new quote to add to an already busy time of year: ---- / -----. ---- / ----. ---'- / ---- / ---- / --------. ---- / ---- / ----- / --------- / --- / ---- /--.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"d"s?

[The Might]

I'll take R

[Estelyn Telcontar]

--r- / --rr-. ---- / ----. ---'- / ---d / ---- / --------. ---- / ---- / ----r / --r------ / --d / ---- /--.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"Y"s?

[Estelyn Telcontar]

--ry / --rry. ---- / ---y. ---'- / ---d / ---- / --------. ---- / ---- / ----r / --r------ / --d / ---- /--.

[Guinevere]

How about S ?

[Estelyn Telcontar]

--ry / s-rry. ---- / ---y. ---'- / ---d / ---- / --------. ---- / ---- / ----r / --r-s---s / --d / --s- /--.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"a"s, please.

[Estelyn Telcontar]

--ry / s-rry. ---- / ---y. -a-'- / ---d / --a- / a---a---. ---- / ---- / a---r / --r-s--as / a-d / --s- /--.

[The Might]

E (=mc²) :)

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"m"s?

[Guinevere]

T time :)

[Estelyn Telcontar]

-ery / s-rry. -ee- / ---y. -a-'t / ---d / t-at / a---a-et. ---- / ---- / a-ter / --r-stmas / a-d / --st /-t.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Since it's the holiday season, "C"s, please.

[Estelyn Telcontar]

-ery / s-rry. -ee- / ---y. Ca-'t / ---d / t-at / a---a-et. ---- / ---- / a-ter / C-r-stmas / a-d / --st /-t.


(The holiday connection is an important clue...)

[The Might]

Bah, and "Letters from Father Christmas" is the only minor work I don't have. :confused:

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"n"s ?

[Estelyn Telcontar]

-ery / s-rry. -een / ---y. Can't / --nd / t-at / a---a-et. ---- / ---- / a-ter / C-r-stmas / and / --st /-t.

[Guinevere]

Ah, tricky Polar Bear spelling!:D (I was sure you had forgotten an S in "busy")

"Very sorry. Been bizy. Can't find that alphabet. Will look after Christmas and post it."

Thank you for posting that quote ; I enjoyed browsing through the delightful Father Christmas Letters again!

[Estelyn Telcontar]

You're absolutely right, Guinevere! I thought that quote sounded so much like P.B. was writing on a forum. :D

[Guinevere]

Thanks, Esty! Perhaps you're too "bizy" for this game right now, but here is another quote:

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

[The Might]

Again:

Ssssss

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"R"s?

[Guinevere]

RS

"-/ ----r/ -------/ ---/. ----/ --/ ---rs---s/ -/ ----/ --/ -r---/, ---/ ----/ --r/ -/ ---/."

[The Might]

A :eek:

[Estelyn Telcontar]

...with some T, please.

[Guinevere]

STAR

"-/ ----r/ ----t--/ ---/. ----/ --/ t--rs-a-s/ -/ -a--/ --/ -r-a-/, a--/ ----/ --r/ a/ ---/."

[The Might]

Still no idea, so I nEEEEEEEEd some more help.

[Guinevere]

STARE

"-/ -e-er/ ----te-/ ---/. ----/ --/ t--rs-a-s/ -/ -a-e/ --/ -rea-/, a--/ ----/ --r/ a/ -e-/."

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"y"s?

[Guinevere]

STAREY

"-/ -e-er/ ----te-/ y--/. ---y/ --/ t--rs-ays/ -/ -a-e/ -y/ -rea-/, a--/ ---y/ --r/ a/ -e-/."

[The Might]

Guinevere, again, wonderful quote! Kudos! :)


'I never invited you.
Only on Thursdays I bake my bread
and only for a few'.

I somehow like the Old Troll... :cool:

[Guinevere]

Well done, The Might ! I'm glad you joined us - there are too few Minor Works fans.

[The Might]

Ah, thank you! I do also enjoy the minor works, they have their own charm in my opinion. And I agree, too many people ignore the fact that Tolkien actually wrote other things than M-e related works.

--/ ----/ ---/ ----/ ---/ ---/ ----/ ----/, ---/ -/ --/ -------/ -------/

Have fun, guessing!

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"R"s?

[Guinevere]

A please

[The Might]

RA

--/ ----/ -a-/ ----/ ---/ --r/ ----/ -a--/, a--/ -/ a- -------/ --rr---/.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"Y"s?

[Guinevere]

[Aganzir]

Any N's?

[The Might]

NEAR Y

-y/ ---e/ -a-/ -een/ ---/ --r/ ---e/ -ay-/, an-/ -/ a- -e---n-/ --rr-e-/.

[Guinevere]

Are there any O's?

[The Might]

NEAR YO

-y/ ---e/ -a-/ -een/ ---/ -or/ -o-e/ -ay-/, an-/ -/ a- -e---n-/ -orr-e-/.

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"u"s?

[The Might]

I am pleased to inform there are no Us NEAR YOU.

Btw, did you say U on purpose so I would get my second word changed from the gangsta version? :D

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"i"s"?

Yo, Might...Just hope Adrian doesn't tell Rocky
about youse using yo, Ya know what I mean?


Btw, watch for Rocky #26, wherein a 300-year-old
Stallone takes on Curufin in a no holds barred
match on the plains of Anfauglith.

[The Might]

EAU de IRONY

-y/ -i-e/ -a-/ -een/ i--/ -or/ -o-e/ -ay-/, an-/ I/ a- -e--in-/ -orrie-/.

Yeah, "Rocky" could then maybe equal "Hellraiser" in number of sequels. (ok, that would be only eight though) :D

[Guinevere]

About time to solve this one! ;)

"My wife has been ill for some days and I am getting worried."

says Parish to Niggle

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Sounds like a comment on the current health situation here in Europe! The flu is making the rounds and had me prostrate for several days - I hope I may have a wee bit of time to join actively in the next round...

[The Might]

Indeed correct! :)

Although I must say I have remained healthy for the past months despite the "interesting" weather conditions here in Germany. Bah, Sauerland! (I think Estelyn will know what I mean) :D

[Guinevere]

OK, her's a new one:

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

[The Might]

A-bomb

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"e"s, please.

[Guinevere]

"---/ --e/ --e-e/ ---/ -e/!" "--/ ---'--/ -e-/ --a-/ ---/ -e-e--e/, ----/ --/ --/ ----/."

[Tuor in Gondolin]

[Guinevere]

EAR (sorry for the delay!:o)

"---/ --e/ --ere/ ---/ -e/!" "-r/ ---'--/ -e-/ --a-/ ---/ -e-er-e/, ----/ -r/ --/ ----/."
