Tolkien's Letters

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Does it begin in I, or L?

[Elrond of Rivendell]

The first letter is I.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Isle of Almaren it is!

[Elrond of Rivendell]

Of course! Please proceed.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Thanks a lot!

I'm looking for
the mol, Ann!!

[Elrond of Rivendell]

And you'll find Nan Elmoth. smilies/wink.gif
Greetings,
EfR

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Indeed!

[Elrond of Rivendell]

Thank you.
The next one (starting with H):

Rum! flew a red-horned moth.

Greetings,
EfR

[Elrond of Rivendell]

mmhmm ... I will provide a hint. Hopefully this thread will not be dying. smilies/frown.gif

Hxxxxx xx xxx xxxxxxxxxxD.

EfR

[NightKnight]

I think you've put an x too much, unless you count the - as a letter.

[piosenniel]

How's this:

Hammer of the Underworld

~*~ Pio

[Elrond of Rivendell]

You were both right. I hope my "hint" (If it was really one smilies/biggrin.gif) didn't lead you on a wrong track NightKnight.

The thread is yours, Piosenniel. smilies/smile.gif

EfR

[piosenniel]

Ecthelion as he battled the Balrog:

'Where's my troops?!' he cries out.

Mired down, E!

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Dwimordene?

[piosenniel]

Carry on, MG!

~*~ Pio smilies/biggrin.gif

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Thanks P!

No ring in a cicle? Nuts, M!

starting with E... smilies/wink.gif

[NightKnight]

Encircling Mountains?

BTW, do you make all those scrambles up by yourselves or do you use a website or something?

[piosenniel]

I make them up myself . . . and I would suppose the others do, too.

Sometimes, if I want to do a particularly long one, I drag out the Scrabble game letter tiles and work with them for the best presentation.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Encircling Mountains it is!

I make up the scrambles myself, with pen and paper, which isn't so easy really. Maybe I should try it with Scrabble, that's a good idea.

Nightknight, your turn! smilies/wink.gif

[NightKnight]

Scrabble isn't my favorite game, so this one's not so good:

She'll tick foreva, A!

Starts with an S.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

As I already replied on the previous forum...

Sickle of the Valar.;)

[NightKnight]

Yeah, go on.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Thanks.

Sit in line of grave.

Starting with R, of course. Good luck;)

[Mariska Greenleaf]

It shouldn't be so hard...

I'll give a hint:

RA----- -- -------

[Turambar]

Ravines of Teiglin ?

[Mariska Greenleaf]

That's right!:smokin:

[Mariska Greenleaf]

bump!:smokin:

[piosenniel]

The last answer ended with an N - so here's the clue for the new answer that starts with it:

What Frodo was thinking when Sam gave him the cast off orc clothes to wear:

Ew! Worn!

[Firefoot]

New Row.

[piosenniel]

Well done!

Now let's have a hard one that starts with 'W'! :smokin:

~*~ Pio

[Firefoot]

How about this:

Wing seems there.

[piosenniel]

~*~ White Messenger ~*~

__________________________________________________ _______________

And yes, it did need to start with W - in this little game, the next anagram starts with the last letter of the previous correct answer :smokin:

[Firefoot]

Yes. Your go.

[piosenniel]

Where do the French horses stay, eh?

Oh! L'Corral!

[The Saucepan Man]

Why they stay with the steeds of the Noldorin High Kings, such as Rochallor! :D

[piosenniel]

Well done, Saucy! :D

Carry on, C.C.!

~*~ Pio

[The Saucepan Man]

Thanks D.D. :D

After years of wandering in the wilderness, Aragorn finally finds a good night's rest at Rivendell:

"O rare deep pillow!"

[NightKnight]

Rowlie Appledore

[The Saucepan Man]

Sure is!

Carry on, NightKnight. :)

[NightKnight]

Anatomic sensation discovered after the tyrant's fall:

One slave bled fire!

[piosenniel]

How about:

Elves of Beleriand

[NightKnight]

Very good. Your turn. :)

[piosenniel]

What sweeps away the weary chapters of our lives . . .

The Faerie-broom o' Dr. Prout

[NightKnight]

Departure of Boromir?

If it is, then you have added an extra "o".

[piosenniel]

:eek:

'O' my! I have!

Well done, and carry on please. :)

~*~ Pio

[NightKnight]

Took me three days to get that one, since the only words starting with D I could find were Doom and Door. Anyway, next one:

Old Thorondor has lost his wings, and is being pursued:

Run, Thorondor! Flee, T!

[piosenniel]

hmmm . . .

Run rotton Elf horde!

No?! :eek:

How about:

Return of the Noldor

;)

[NightKnight]

You are, of course, correct. Please give us a new one. :)

[piosenniel]

I have often wondered if Smeagol/Gollum might be classed as a

Mutant Stoor

:)

[The Saucepan Man]

Roast Mutton :D

[piosenniel]

And there you have it!

Carry on, SPM! :D

[The Saucepan Man]

Yessir! ;)

It is a little known fact that Shelob and Gollum had devised a code system ...

I am in Lair 'C'

[piosenniel]

Poor old guy! Killed by the Wainriders . . .

Narmacil II

[The Saucepan Man]

You're up, pio. :)

Just to avoid confusion, I will suggest that the answer to the next one should start with 'I' rather than 'L'.

[piosenniel]

http://www.full-of-beans.net/anna-karenina/page1/tn015.jpg


Count Vronsky (Sean Bean) to Anna Karenina:


Aa! I'd fain love yu, Anna . . .

;)

[NightKnight]

II. Of Aulë and Yavanna

The second chapter in Silmarillion.

[piosenniel]

And there you have it! :)

Carry on, please . . .

[NightKnight]

Thank you.

Lucifer tells us how he started his own place:

"I freed area in hell"

[piosenniel]

Maeglin's mommy -

Aredhel Ar-Feiniel

[NightKnight]

She's the one. Proceed, please.

[piosenniel]

For some, not fond of conflict -

The ranting Worrld is too sad . . .

[NightKnight]

Lost Road and other writings

I just got HoME 1-5, so I'm gonna read it soon. :)

[piosenniel]

Well done!

Proceed, if you will . . .

~*~ Pio :D

[NightKnight]

So I shall:

Someone was being mean, so

He eats covered urin

[NightKnight]

Come on! *Bumps*

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

Sauron the Deceiver

[NightKnight]

Absolutely. Your turn. :)

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

[EDIT] I was distracted last night, so it was only today that I realised that my anagram didn't follow the thread rules. This one does.

An eye test almost ends in disaster when Mr. Baggins forgets to remove the Ring.

Clear? No, dim

[Mariska Greenleaf]

That would be Romendacil, the first or second, it probably doesn't matter much.

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

Rómendacil it is.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Gin in a bag, lads.

[NightKnight]

Linda Baggins? If so, then you put an "a" too much. :p

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Oh god, and I did double check it, really...
Anyway, you are right, that was what I was looking for...

[NightKnight]

It's ok, I miss letters all the time too. :p

Our dear Mod has some slaves, and they're

Scourin' 'Pan Man's feet

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

I wonder if they tackle the tougher spots with the Sceptre of Annúminas

[NightKnight]

And please present a new masterpiece for us. :)

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

Worse things happen at sea, but in the docks:

Navy 'lost' ale, wine

[NightKnight]

Maybe they lost it in the Stonewain Valley?

Getting the feeling that I'm right, and since I'm going away, I give you my next puzzle here:

The small thug in the gang did something nice.

Yo, Flea! Cewl!

[Mariska Greenleaf]

The anwer would be Yellow Face , that's how the sun was called by Gollum.

[NightKnight]

Yesss, the nasssty sssun. We hatesss it, preciousss!

[Rimbaud]

:cool:

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Do we need anything else to go camping?

O, more tents!

[Rimbaud]

...would be it, I imagine.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

It is indeed! You're up! ;)

[Rimbaud]

An easier one, I fear. The friend who gives to you a present that comes back to haunt you might have committed a:

Viler Lend

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Dear Rimbaud,

Apparently you're not aware of the fact that the new word has to start with the last letter of the former one, in this case being "s" (Ettenmoors .
And as there is no "s" in the new word you posted, I think you better make up a new one... ;)

[Rimbaud]

The irony being that I started this thread and set that rule (admittedly some time ago). :) Had to think of one on the fly in the office and just clean forgot, I'm afraid. After all those times tsk-ing at others. *shakes head* Still, how about this.

Discovering his lunchtime sandwhich was just too large and overpriced for him,

Odd Ray ran back sub!

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Is it Saradoc Brandybuck?

[Rimbaud]

That it be, lassie.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Ok, new one then...

I, Koda, the ring fan.

[Rimbaud]

King of Arthedain, my dear Ms. Greenleaf?

[Mariska Greenleaf]

That would be the correct answer, Mister Perilous Poet!

[Rimbaud]

how about this? When mending the Great West Road, engineers discovered a defect in the build. This led one to cry:

Oh, mend slant for run-on!

[Mariska Greenleaf]

And than you find: Northlands of Numenor.

[Rimbaud]

Quite right, of course.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Well, there you have it! ;)

[The Perky Ent]

I'm new to this, so go easy on me, but, Rethe?

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Welcome to the game, Perky Ent.
Take it away!

Just a little reminder: the new word has to start with the last letter of the previous word.

[The Perky Ent]

Ok. I think I get it. Man, this is hard. But I think I've got one! Nain etching out M Yeah, that works. Alright! Have at it!

[The Perky Ent]

Good ole Nain. If anyone could etch an M, it's Nain

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Maybe I'm wrong, because it contains an extra "o", and has only one "t", but what the Angband.

[Rimbaud]

To shake this thread awake, Perky Ent, could you answer the question? It has me stumped also.

[The Perky Ent]

If I remember, it was the Echoing Mountains, though I think there's one or two errors. Oh well, it stumped ;) Someone else can go!

[Rimbaud]

I think it should be Nilpaurion, as he had it correct. Shoot, Nil.

[The Perky Ent]

Oh! Didn't see that there. Your Go NP!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

. . . for on the way to this thread, I saw the queerest flower I've ever seen. As I stooped down to smell it, it cried "No!" So I asked (in very crude Eldarin):

Manen, loth? (Why, flower?)

Post-mortem: This is assuming N is the last letter of the previous puzzle . . . :smokin:

[piosenniel]

On the southern banks of the River Celon lay the old wood of:

Nan Elmoth

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

How did you know I was there?!

*slap slap slap*

Oh. The thread is thine. :)

[piosenniel]

A surfeit of seafood comes down to this:

LOL! Fish Pies!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I suppose they have much to eat at the Hill of Spies. ;)

[piosenniel]

You're up! :D

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Any of you watch the moviefication of The Hunt for Red October? Well, in that version, CIA officer Jack Ryan came aboard Dallas.

Of course, as usual, the book is still better.

[NightKnight]

Did he meet Sador Labadal there?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I'm too busy loading the torpedoes.

You're up! :)

[NightKnight]

Thanks. And be careful not to hit anything with those. Well, maybe some orcses. ;)

All this time, we've been living in a long lie.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I think I should drown my sorrow beside fair Legolin. Maybe get a pizza on the way.

[NightKnight]

Pizza? Can I join? ;)

You're up. :)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Do you know the story of the Dwarves of the First Age. Well, there were the Petty-Dwarves, the Dwarves of Nogrod and Belegost, and the famous Khazad-dûm of Durin. But have you heard of the dwelling of the Dwarves in the White mountains long ago in the First Age? It was called

The Lair of Nóin.

Then again, I got this from a Dwarf who had too much to drink.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Ummm . . . anyone? It's really easy.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

People? Don't pull this trick on me. I'm scared of being alone.

[NightKnight]

Is it Nienor daugther of Thalion?

I know we had a "son of"-thingy before, so why not. :p

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Clue: "of" exists.

[piosenniel]

Starts with an 'N', includes an 'of' . . .

*mutters under her breath

A hint, my friend - I can't seem to set the letters right . . .

~*~ Pio :(

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Hmmm . . . the "ó" really is included in the shuffle.

Oh, and :p

No really, that was a hint! A profound hint, I might say.

[piosenniel]

* 'Uncle'! she cries, throwing her hands up in despair *

Give us the answer Master Anagrammer & try us on an easier one . . .

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

("The" not included. ;) )

A new puzzle? Hmmm . . . I'm currently away from school (and hence, civilisation) until the 9th of November. Sooo . . . anyone else have a scribble-shuffling sphinx? Maybe that person can have a go. :D

[Rimbaud]

The precocious child of words turns to his reprimanding parent, and declares of the room-tidying suggestion:

Nah, let mess sing!

[Rimbaud]

Come on - it's not hard, if a little tongue-in-cheek.

[piosenniel]

Haven't been here in a while . . .

How about:

Nameless Things

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Was just reading about them very recently to see how they might feature in a game! ;)

~*~ Pio

[Rimbaud]

And well done for naming the nameless. Your turn, Ma'am!

[piosenniel]

Inattentive student hisses to her seat mate, sotto voce:

Ss!! Read What?

:)

[The Saucepan Man]

STRAWHEADS!

Cries the lecturer in desperation.

[piosenniel]

Ball in your court, Saucy! :cool:

[Rimbaud]

Lay down your Gauntlet of Confusion!

[The Saucepan Man]

Ahem! Sorry for the delay. :rolleyes:

Before Sam set out on the Quest, Rosie instructed him to be sure to pick up something green and figure-hugging at ...

... those neat elf shops.

[Rimbaud]

Alas, poor Túrin, I knew him...Nienor...

Never the most encouraging stone to hold.

[The Saucepan Man]

Well done Rimbaud. :) I thought that one might be rather tricksy, but you have the measure of it. Please proceed ...

[Rimbaud]

Yet however you view the weather, there's nothing like a real pea-souper.

A fog ran drips down my face in San Francisco...

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

. . . while gentle dew trickles down me in the Spring of Arda. :)

[Rimbaud]

You are absolutely correct. Take it away with an 'A', N. Felagund.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I saw this most funny spectacle yesterday: An oliphaunt tramping while crying:

Ai! Alatar can't ran!

The funny part being the oliphaunt speaking.

That's just stupid.

[Rimbaud]

Gives me Gondor's most glorious King, Atanatar Alcarin.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Take the thread, O Perilous Poet!

[Rimbaud]

When highly ironic constituents wanted to keep an MP from North of the border, they proclaimed:

Bin Scot (not).

[luthien-elvenprincess]

That might be Nibs Cotton

[Rimbaud]

Well done, your turn!

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Try the new and improved elven facial skin exfoliating lotion! This astonishing cream is made especially for your tired skin from crushed Elanor petals mixed with Loth-Lorien morning dew. Collected fresh every morning by carefully trained elven pharmaceutical consultants. Your order will be blended specially for your unique skin type. Delivered directly to your door. Get ready to astound your friends and acquaintances with your

REAL NEW SKIN ! :rolleyes:

Edit: Yikes, guess I went a little long with this! :eek:

[Firefoot]

I do believe that would be the Nine Walkers.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Firefoot, it took you a whole 16 minutes to figure that out! :rolleyes: Good job!

[Firefoot]

Those Chinese and their chopsticks...

CHANG DO SCORN AT FORK.

[Rimbaud]

Either a nasty battle, or the Beleriand Santa's present-bag, The Sack of Nargothrond, I believe.

[Firefoot]

Aye, that it is.

[Rimbaud]

As the lecher spied the fair maid, quoth he:

Arr, dig Sandy!

[Rimbaud]

It ain't hard, quizzers.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I've been trying a lot of word combinations: Dagnir something, Day something, Dry something, Dain something, something Ring, something Arda . . . but none would yield an answer.

[Rimbaud]

It is hard. Particularly when you are not given the toosl you need. As in, I have missed out an 'e'. Oh shush, it happens to the best of us.

So the new clue is 'Dig Andy's rear', or 'Dig Randy's ear', whichever you prefer. ;)

Apologies for the missed 'e'.

[Fingolfin II]

Ah! Could it be Daisy Gardner?

[Rimbaud]

Indeed, the floor is yours!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Fin2, new puzzle needed! :smokin:

[Fingolfin II]

Try this:

I....I...nude lids?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Your puzzle doesn't have the letter "R"!

I read in a recently published article that 100% of those who daydream about Éowyn get horribly mangled by a certain Faramir. :smokin:

But of course, you don't care. You can take him on. ;)

[Fingolfin II]

I think you're right, Nil....on both counts....:(

I'll leave the first one up just in case anyone wants to solve it for fun (yeah right).

Bag Mir? Lor', u goth!
(Mixture of German, English and Random ;))

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Have you read the rules (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=101212&postcount=1)? ;)

Morgoth Bauglir does not start with an R, which was the last letter of the previous puzzle. :p

[Fingolfin II]

I thought I did....but then I looked back just then and saw I hadn't read them properly. Sorry about that. I tried to PM you because I saw you were replying to the thread, but it didn't get to you. My mistake :confused:. Nil, please continue this thread with something starting with the letter 'R' from Rimbaud's previous puzzle. Thanks.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

This is the best gift anyone has ever given me--well, except that humongous Lego set.

And in time for the holidays, too!

Have you read The Daily Dale? The headline says:

Ghost Bard want ear.

I think Bard's just jealous of Helm's haunting.

EDITED. An extra letter.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Radagast the Brown

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

The next puzzle is thine, luthien-elvenprincess. :)

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Thanks Nil-boy :)

After a painful bunionectomy, SHE LIMP ON...

[Rimbaud]

...the great pearl named Nimphelos.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

And a golden star is awarded to Rimbaud :)

(or Fluffy-Buns (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=129877&postcount=177) http://www.geocities.com/louis_martian/smilies/evil.gif)

New puzzle needed! :smokin:

[Rimbaud]

When one of the Twelve cooked a lovely meal, the others exclaimed, all Mockney-like:

See, Magi was gem!

[Fingolfin II]

Samwise Gamgee?

[Rimbaud]

Of course, and the floor is yours.

[Fingolfin II]

Cheers,

Below- what one rodent said to another on the topic of romance:

Rat A: I rue luv

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Eru Ilúvatar. :cool:

[Fingolfin II]

Correct :).

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I found this manuscript somewhere in the English Channel.

'Of course, it is likely enough, my friends,' he said slowly, 'likely enough that we are going out to our doom: the last

March o' Mares.

[Fingolfin II]

The great wall of Ch-...I mean...Gondor; Rammas Echor. :)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I just wonder: could Rammas Echor be seen by Tilion?

[Fingolfin II]

Hmm......it may possibly be visible to Arien or Tilion. Or it may not :rolleyes:.

Unfortunately, the Gaffer has a strong sailors' accent and has to clarify what he's singing about- 'I sing th' warr!'.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

. . . he got the accent from talking to Ringwraiths. ;)

[Fingolfin II]

Aye, that he did.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

A word of warning to those who enter the underwater forest of Taur-nu-fuin:

D bark and crabs c you.

[Fingolfin II]

Doesn't sound like a place Saradoc Brandybuck would be keen on entering. His son on the other hand.....

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

And, you have said, that beer-and-pipeweed-besotted son of his would.

Present the next puzzle.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Poken thee I have, O Fingolfin II. Presentest thou thy next puzzle, or I will bear thee away to some place where all they play is elevator music.

[Fingolfin II]

Anyway.....

What Sandyman can do after he retires-

Laying skin.

Too easy :smokin:.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Don't think even Sandyman's sunk this low, although the Noldor have...

Kinslaying

[Fingolfin II]

Yep :).

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Barehanding hot lanterns will burn you, use a Handl’ for High Lite

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Harding of the Hill does not begin with G,which was the last letter of the previous puzzle. ;)

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Well, you solved my anagram, such as it was....

I have such horrible trouble (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=370221&postcount=37) on this thread! :o

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

I believe it's Gamil Zirak, the master of Telchar.

Why all the Ms.-ing? Makes me feel like a grandmother and I'm only 22! :p

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I'll drop the Ms.- part. I forgot I'm more than fifteen thousand years old. :smokin:

Your turn again. Confront the ancient curse, and you will be free of it. Take it from someone who knows. ;)

(Not me, of course! I asked Túrin, though. :D)

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

When asked why he continued fighting orcs after the third or fourth shot to the chest, Boromir replied:

War fan, okie?

[Fingolfin II]

Kine of Araw.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Proceed.

[Fingolfin II]

Cheers,

Nilpo has got it!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I know nerds rant ECGs.

Yes, they actually do. I don't know why, though.

[Fingolfin II]

Hmm.......maybe I'll stick to Nil. Or 'paurion. Anyway,

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

So I'll let my hand speak.

I suspect that Grima would try to blame it on old

I suspect that you're right :).

The drunken ravings of a medieval minstrel:

O Tune the Nile off to China!

Ecthelion of the Fountain had a very shiny nose. ;)

What an interesting picture... Rudolph the Balrog-Slayer.

You may proceed.

I once saw a poem with this correction:

Nori: Line Nine

That was the lamest one yet.

You mean not all are equally lame?

[Fingolfin II]

Nienor Niniel.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

So it is.

Your thread! :)

Of course she did.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Aulë once offered to make:

Tinee sign for Vali.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

The signs must have read "Watch your step! Ravines of Teiglin!"

You really are a mind-reader. :)

You may continue with the next puzzle.

Don't want this to fall off the page. Anybody?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Hintses we need. Puzzle is too coplim . . . comli . . . colmip . . . hard!

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

A hint I shall provide.

The answer is found in LOTR... more specifically it is found in a song.

:cool:

Sophia

[piosenniel]

Night of Naught

The darkness of the Shadowy Seas

:cool:

. . . Beneath the Moon and under star
he wandered far from northern strands,
bewildered on enchanted ways
beyond the days of mortal lands.
From gnashing of the Narrow Ice
where shadow lies on frozen hills,
from nether heats and burning waste
he turned in haste, and roving still
on starless waters far astray
at last he came to Night of Naught,
and passed, and never sight he saw
of shining shore nor light he sought . . .

--- from "Song of Eärendil"
