Let's start with an easy one.

Moria, Moria, Wonder of the Northern world!
Too deep we dwelzed there and woke the nameless fear.

Who said this while reporting the problems of his race?

[Arwen Melian]

Gimli?

[-Imrahil-]

Got to be Gimli with that "we" there.

Agree Arwen smilies/biggrin.gif

[Lindolirian]

Nope.... Gloin his father. I don't think Gimli had much to say at the Council.

[RiderOfRohan]

Gloin is right. Take it away Lindolirian.

[Lindolirian]

"But what then would happen, if the Ruling Ring were destroyed, as you counsel?"

[Lostgaeriel]

Tricky...but it's Glóin again.

[Lindolirian]

Yup, Gloin rules... y'know this is kinda an easy thread cause its all from one chapter...

[-Imrahil-]

Yep. Will be hard to keeping coming up with quotes smilies/biggrin.gif

Guys want to include whole FotR too?

[Lostgaeriel]

It is a rather limiting topic for quotes, but if you expand it beyond The Council of Elrond, the topic heading will make no sense. Besides there are already many general LOTR, FOTR, TT, ROTK quotes threads going.

Perhaps when we've exhausted this chapter, we can tackle another. It's a great way to get to know the book well.

I was sent to bear tidings, not burdens.

[Beruthiel]

Was it Boromir?

[Lostgaeriel]

No, it was not Boromir. smilies/biggrin.gif

[LePetitChoux]

Legolas? smilies/confused.gif

[Lostgaeriel]

Nor Legolas. smilies/evil.gif

[hobbitlass]

Gwahir when Gandalf asked for a ride of off Orthanc.

[-Imrahil-]

Hbbit got it. Darn, knew that one smilies/biggrin.gif

[Lostgaeriel]

No, hobbitlass doesn't have it quite right. Gwaihir didn't say that in the chapter The Council of Elrond. There's a reason I didn't include the quotation marks. smilies/biggrin.gif

It's a technicality, I know, but that's why I chose this quote. Now you all know who actually said it, but the next turn goes to the first person to actually POST the answer! READY, SET, GO!

[ November 29, 2002: Message edited by: Lostgaeriel ]

[hobbitlass]

Ooooh, evil one! smilies/wink.gif
It's Gandalf saying to the council what Gwahir said to him. Is that what you are looking for?

[Lostgaeriel]

Yess! Wicked! Tricksy! But not false.

Your turn. smilies/smile.gif

[hobbitlass]

I am going for a difficult one...
"...and yet we come no nearer."

[hobbitlass]

It has been a week, time for the rest of the quote.

'Thus we return once more to the destroying of the Ring,' said_______,'and yet we come no nearer.'

[Legolas]

'Thus we return once more to the destroying of the Ring,' said Erestor, `and yet we come no nearer. What strength have we for the finding of the Fire in which it was made? That is the path of despair. Of folly I would say, if the long wisdom of Elrond did not forbid me.'

Erestor!

[hobbitlass]

Yes, you got it, your turn.

[Legolas]

Less thanks have we than you.

[Lostgaeriel]

That's Aragorn to Boromir.

And yet less thanks have we than you. Travellers scowl at us, and countrymen give us scornful names.

It's that old 'You think you have it tough? When I went to school, I had to walk ten miles with no shoes in a blizzard up hill - both ways!' Naw, these two guys aren't at all competitive.

[Legolas]

Yup. Go on.

[Lostgaeriel]

‘I do not understand all this.’

[LePetitChoux]

Frodo? It really sounds like something he'd say. smilies/smile.gif

[Lostgaeriel]

Well, it might sound like something Frodo would say in The Shadow of the Past but not during The Council of Elrond. I think by the time of the Council, Frodo understood what had to be done and why. (By the way that's a bit of a hint.)

Try again.

[hobbitlass]

'I do not understand all this, he (Boromir) said. 'Saruman is traitor, but did he not have a glimpse of wisdom?'

[Lostgaeriel]

Yes, hobbitlass, you got it. Poor Boromir just didn't 'get' it at the Council.

Your turn.

[hobbitlass]

'And yet its vigilance can no longer keep back the Nine,'

[smile]

mind if I jump in...it was Galdor
""Gondor wanes your say. but gondor stands, and even the end of its strenght is still very stong"
"And yet its vigilance can no longer keep back the Nine," said Galdor."And other roads...

[hobbitlass]

We don't mind at all, we live to see new faces! Your correct, go on...

[smile]

"There lies our hope, if hope it be."

[Garen LiLorian]

Elrond, speaking of going to Mordor.

I'm pretty sure I'm right, so...

"Anyway, this is what happened"

[smile]

yeah u got it and i dont have my book with me to answere yours..maybe later but im tierd so bye

[smile]

It was Bilbo When he was starting to tell his story. am i right??

[Garen LiLorian]

Yep, that's right. Go ahead.

[smile]

"And who are you, and what have you to do with the Minas Tirith?"

[busybee]

Hello people.......
Ok this definately sounds like BoromirI think.

[Leah2]

You got it.. Take it away..

[alaklondewen]

bump...I like the idea of this going one chapter at a time. It has been over a week, so the floor is open.

[alaklondewen]

That is the doom that we must deem.

[Aratlithiel]

Elrond in answer to Gloin's tale about the Nazgul coming to Dain.

[alaklondewen]

Yes. Proceed. smilies/smile.gif

[Aratlithiel]

Dragging out my book...


The Wise may have good reason to believe that the halfling's trove is indeed the Great Ring of long debate, unlikely though that may seem to those who know less.

[Beren87]

Galdor of the Havens to Elrond.

[Aratlithiel]

Thankee-sai. (OK, so I'm a Stephen King nut too.)

'Tis your turn, Beren87.

[Beren87]

*bows in courtesy* thank you.

Here, my friends,

[alaklondewen]

Elrond to the company:
Here, my friends, is the hobbit, Frodo son of Drogo

[Beren87]

Correct alaklondewen!

My this topic is easy when coming from only one chapter.

[alaklondewen]

I think it is a great way to get to know a chapter with a little more depth.

Yes, I have come,

[Beren87]

True, from a learning standpoint (which is in my opinion the main point of these games, for I have learned countless amounts of information participating). But from a game point of view, it makes it very easy.

Gandalf recounting his "episode" with Saruman, where he was speaking to him.

[ January 17, 2003: Message edited by: Beren87 ]

[alaklondewen]

.You are right as usual.. smilies/wink.gif I agree that this is easy, but it is nice to have an easy one once in a while. You're up. smilies/smile.gif

[Beren87]

For the folk of Arnor

[Russandol]

Elrond, as part of the history lecture to the rest of the council.

For the folk of Arnor dwindled, and their foes devoured them, and their lordship passed, leaving only green mounds in the grassy hills.

[alaklondewen]

Beren? I thought you may have forgotten this thread, and I'm only reminding you because I know you are logged on a lot.

[Beren87]

Aye, thank ye. I did forget this thread. (a lot? that's putting it mildly I think smilies/biggrin.gif )

And your correct Russandol!

[Russandol]

Thank you Beren....

Yet we would not have it otherwise.

[alaklondewen]

Ah, this is Aragorn describing the life of the Rangers.

[Russandol]

It sure is. Your go smilies/smile.gif

[alaklondewen]

Thank you.

Not if some better way can be contrived?

[Beren87]

Gandalf was quoteing Saruman who was speaking to Gandalf.

[alaklondewen]

Great job! You're up.

[Beren87]

Lovely!

my quest was ended

[Lostgaeriel]

That is Gandalf speaking after he has recounted the contents of Isildur's scroll. Gandalf had found the method of testing if Frodo's ring was the One Ring - the quest he had set out upon.

'When I read these words, my quest was ended. For the traced writing was indeed as Isildur guessed, in the tongue of Mordor and the servants of the Tower. And what was said therein was already known.

[Beren87]

Good Job Lostgaeriel! And a cookie for all the extra information! *hands her a cookie*

[Lostgaeriel]

Mmmm. *chomps away in a very un-elf-like way* Thanks for the cookie. Could use some milk or miruvor to wash it down, though!

I will do that

[alaklondewen]

It is Gandalf quoting Radagast. Gandalf asked him to send out messages to all beasts and birds that were his friends to bring news to Isengard.

[Lostgaeriel]

Yes. There's no fooling you, alaklondewen. Would you like a wafer of lembas? Or an apple? *wheeling snack cart thru the Council*

[ January 31, 2003: Message edited by: Lostgaeriel ]

[alaklondewen]

Ooh. I could go for some miruvor! Oh, and I'll take an apple, too. You never know when you might run into Bill Ferny around here. smilies/smile.gif

At this we were greatly troubled,

[Beren87]

Gloin, recounting the message that the rider from Sauron brought Dain.

[alaklondewen]

Right as always! You are next. smilies/smile.gif

[Beren87]

Oops, sorry about the wait.

but not too long

[Legolas]

Gloin quoting a disguised Sauron as he was trying to deceive Dain Ironfoot.

[Beren87]

That it would be. Your go.

[Legolas]

I had not named you, but I do so now.

[alaklondewen]

This is Elrond to Bilbo, after Bilbo jumps up and asks if they can eat before he speaks.

[Legolas]

Yes.

[alaklondewen]

Great.

Stay a moment!

[Orofaniel]

Stay a moment

I think Gandalf says it...... smilies/biggrin.gif

[alaklondewen]

Wow! I had completely forgot about this thread...thanks for bringing it up!

You are correct, please proceed. smilies/smile.gif

[Orofaniel]

Okey....hmm...

Who said this:

"You remember?"

Good luck smilies/biggrin.gif

[Eruanna]

"You remember?"

I think that was Frodo...he was astonished that Elrond remembered the Battle of the Last Alliance.

[Orofaniel]

I'm sorry for beeing late!! But I kinda forgot about this tread *blushes*

Eruanna, the is indeed correct!! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Orofaniel]

[Orofaniel]

[Eruanna]

[Beren87]

Frodo to Elrond himself after Elrond said he remembered the fall of Gil-Galad.

[Orofaniel]

That's correct! smilies/smile.gif

Your up!

[Beren87]

first to say more of

I'm not going to tell you the next word, as it would give it away. smilies/tongue.gif

[Orofaniel]

It was Boromir I think; first to say more of Gondor, for verily from that land of Gondor I am come.

[Beren87]

You are correct.

[Orofaniel]

smilies/smile.gif

Despair, or folly?

Good luck! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Narduewen]

Gandalf said it.

'Despair, or folly?' said Gandalf. 'It is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not.'

[Orofaniel]

That's correct, indeed.....Please proceed! smilies/smile.gif

[Narduewen]

Thank you,

"Yet we would not have it otherwise."

[Orofaniel]

I wonder; was it Aragorn? smilies/tongue.gif

[ June 24, 2003: Message edited by: Orofaniel ]

[Narduewen]

Your guess is right. You may proceed with the next quote.

[Orofaniel]

Thank you!

Here is the next quote: smilies/biggrin.gif
I had not named you

Orofaniel smilies/wink.gif

[Narduewen]

Elrond to Bilbo after he complained about needing something to eat.

[Orofaniel]

yes, it was Elrond....YOUR UP!!!!! smilies/wink.gif

[Narduewen]

Next quote.

"...since midsummer."

[Orofaniel]

I think it was Gandalf.... smilies/biggrin.gif

[Narduewen]

Well yes, but maybe you should provide some more information before you give another quote.

[Orofaniel]

Gandalf said it to the council when he told about Barliman.

" Fool! Trice worthy and beloved Barliman!"said I. "It's the best news I have had since midsummer; it's worth a gold piece at the least." smilies/biggrin.gif

[Narduewen]

Okay you may post a quote.

[Orofaniel]

Thank you smilies/smile.gif

The time......

[Beren87]

Dain to the messanger of Sauron

[Orofaniel]

Yep, that's correct. YOUR UP!!
smilies/biggrin.gif

[Beren87]

and the days are running short

[Orofaniel]

I can't seem to find that quote!

So here is my wild guess: Boromir? smilies/tongue.gif

[Beren87]

Nope, that's not it.

[Orofaniel]

How about Gandalf,then? smilies/biggrin.gif

[Beren87]

Not it, but you're getting closer. It was said to Gandalf.

[Orofaniel]

Then maybe it was Elrond saying it to him? or could it be Aragorn? smilies/biggrin.gif

[Beren87]

Nope, neither.

[Orofaniel]

Is it Saruman then. Telling Gandalf that they'll have to join the Dark Lord and the days are running short?

[Beren87]

Wow! that's...not..right. smilies/tongue.gif

[Orofaniel]

Wow! that's...not..right.

Hmmmm....*skimming trough the chapter...again.....* can't find it.....again.....

New wild guess: Legolas? smilies/biggrin.gif

[Beren87]

No..

[Orofaniel]

I give up! smilies/mad.gif

[Orofaniel]

*skimming again* found it
RADAGAST

[Beren87]

You've got it! After a page of trying, no less.

It's very triumphantly, your turn.

[Orofaniel]

You've got it! After a page of trying, no less.


You've got that right...hehe smilies/biggrin.gif

Okey, new quote:

.... now many years ago

[Orofaniel]

No one???????????????????????????????

Need a hint perhaps???? smilies/tongue.gif

Wow, this is my 500th post!!! eekk! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Lostgaeriel]

Oh, come on now, we don't need any hints. smilies/wink.gif This is one of the easiest quote threads. All you do is scan the chapter.

'It is now many years ago,' said Glóin, 'that the shadow of disquiet fell upon our people. ...

That's Glóin's opening line - speaking to the Council. Second page of the chapter.

[Oh, drats! I forgot - I'll have to post a quote. smilies/frown.gif ]

[Orofaniel]

Oh, come on now, we don't need any hints. This is one of the easiest quote threads. All you do is scan the chapter.

Well, I thought you guys needed one!! None answerd until now....

Well at least it is correct.... Your turn! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Lostgaeriel]

‘Who can tell?’ said ---. But we will put it to the test one day.’

[lothiriel]

It´s Aragorn talking to Boromir. They talk about the Sword-that-was-Broken and about help for Gondor.

[lothiriel]

It's been a long time now, and I know I'm correct, so I post a new quote:

"The time has come."

[Mithisilien]

Re-reading the book....just passed this part smilies/cool.gif

It's when Gandalf tells Frodo to bring out the ring, right after Aragorn is revealed to be Isildur's heir.

"Bring out the ring, Frodo!" said Gandalf solemnly. "The time has come."

[lothiriel]

You are so correct Mithisilien! Please proceed!

[lothiriel]

Mithisilien isn't back yet, so I post a new quote.

"I was not sent to beg any boon..."

[Narduewen]

Boromir said that to the Council, but mostly directed at Aragorn.

[ October 18, 2003: Message edited by: Narduewen ]

[lothiriel]

You're correct! Please proceed!

[Narduewen]

Thank you!

"though none can see them"

[Beren87]

Gandalf, about the bounds Bombadil has set on his lands.

[Narduewen]

That would be correct, Beren. Your turn.

[Beren87]

"Consider well, but not too long,"

[Narduewen]

The horseman from Mordor speaks that to Dain in Gloin's story.

[Beren87]

Exactly. (Yes, I just noticed that it has been used in this game already).

We're going to be running out of quotes, soon. smilies/smile.gif
