Who said it.

[Maikacairien]

Heres another quote. Its kind of easy once you think about it. Anyways, here it is!

'Tell Captain Shagrat that the great Elf-warrior has called, with his elf-sword too!'

Guess it! smilies/rolleyes.gif smilies/tongue.gif

[Samwise]

Umm....Legolas?
I'm terrible at these quote things.....
smilies/rolleyes.gif
Out of the shadows a ladder was let down. Legolas ran lightly up, and Frodo followed slowly; behind came Sam, trying not to breathe loudly.

[Maikacairien]

sorry I took so long to reply! no, its not Legolas. but the person who said it is in the fellowship. good try! smilies/smile.gif smilies/wink.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[Orome]

Sam

[Orome]

or frodo?

[Samwise]

Uh.....Aragorn? http://forum.barrowdowns.com/ubb/icons/icon1.gif
Suddenly he stopped as if listening. Frodo became aware that all was very quiet, inside and outside. Gandalf crept to one side of the window. Then with a dart he sprang to the sill, and thrust a long arm out and downwards. There was a squawk, and up came Sam Gamgee's curly head hauled by one ear.

[tangerine]

oh, that is definitely sam, when he is rescuinng frodo from the tower

[Orome]

hahahahaha i got it first. now if Maikacairien will only tell me....

[Elenna]

Yup. That is most definitely Sam, after he hears the orcs talking about how some Elf is loose in Barad-dur.

[Maikacairien]

Sorry I took SOOOO long! I was gone on vacation then camp so I couldnt get on the net. Then I found out that I forgot to log out! Wow Im stupid. Anyway, yes it was Sam! youre turn to post one! smilies/eek.gif

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Hey, welcome back! What happens if you don't log out? I never log out, does that mean that my name is still showing if I don't log out? Oh well. It's Orome's turn now, right?

[Maikacairien]

I think it leaves your name on. Yes it is Oromes turn. If hes here! smilies/tongue.gif

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Orome, it's your turn! Someone else can post if he doesn't, it's been more than a week.

[Samwise]

Well, okay...

Sorry, niether.

[Salix]

It's Merry talking, right at the end of the chapter 'Fog on the Barrow-downs'.

Yes, Salix, that's the Hobbit.

Anyway,
Who's this young giant with the loud voice?

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

That was referring to either Merry or Pippin, that I know! Um, I'm gonna say Bilbo. Or Gimli. Aragorn, that could be it too.

[Salix]

Nowhere near except your are sorta correct about who it's refering to.

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Treebeard?

[Salix]

Nope.

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Who's this young giant with the loud voice?

I'm never lucky enough to get it on one guess. Was it Gandalf? Frodo? Sam?

[Salix]

Nope, nope and nope. Do you really need a hint?

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Yeah, I don't want to look in my book. My sister has it anyway, so I can't. I really suck now!! I'll take you up on that offer, thanks!

[Morgoth Bauglir]

gaffer gamgee?

[Samwise]

Hm...someone who knew the Hobbits wouldn't be asking "whothis" was....
Faramir?
Sam and Frodo Board (http://hometown.aol.com/sst205/myhomepage/lotr.html)

[Morgoth Bauglir]

he could have said it jokingly....and whos this would go with young giant. smilies/smile.gif

[Salix]

Yeesh, no one has gotten it, and I thought it was easy. smilies/frown.gif

HINT: Next part: "Not little Pippin! What's your size in hats now?"

[Brinniel]

Aaah! I don't want to look in my book, but this is driving me crazy! Was it an elder hobbit, possibly Rose Cotton's father?

[Ringwraith Number Two]

Was it Sam? At the end of ROTK, and he's standing back to back with Merry and Pippin?

[Telchar]

'twas of course good old fatty B - when they resqued him from the Lockholes

[Salix]

Good job, Telchar! You're go.

[Salix]

Since no one has posted in at least a week, here's a new quote:
Get up, you tom-fool of a Took!

[Samwise]

Mmm...Gandalf?

[Salix]

Right. You go.

[Samwise]

Hm. Okay.
"All right! Mind yourself, Don't get lost, and don't forget that it is safer indoors!"

[Ringwraith Number Two]

Twas Pippin at the Prancing Pony when Merry said he might go for a walk, I think.

[Samwise]

Yep, Miss #2, that's the Hobbit. Go on.

[Ringwraith Number Two]

OK.
It sounds like a hundred blacksmiths all smithying together

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Pippin?

[Ringwraith Number Two]

'Fraid not, Lothiriel Silmarien.

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

I remember reading that quote though! I just can't remember who said it.

[Arie]

ok since no one can get that-try this it's more like part of a song in the book though:
"The world was fair;the mountains tall in Elder days before the fall"

This seems like an easy one...hope you get it!

[Bruce MacCulloch]

Sam to Frodo regarding the sounds of Faramir's men fighting the Southrons.


Arie, you need to give people a bit more time to answer a question or to verify correct answers before jumping in with a new question.

[ September 08, 2002: Message edited by: Bruce MacCulloch ]

[Ringwraith Number Two]

Bruce MacCulloch - you are right smilies/biggrin.gif

Arie- I believe your quote came from the verses that Gimli chanted in the halls of Moria ( A Journey in the Dark, FOTR ).

[ September 09, 2002: Message edited by: Ringwraith Number Two ]

[Samwise]

Or, Arie, could it be Legolas?
(Sigh...not that she really knows...just sounds like an Elfy-chanty thing)

[Bruce MacCulloch]

Who said this one - and what was the situation? It's a trap!

[InklingElf]

'tis Gimli's song-book IV specifically

[Arie]

ahh yes it was Gimli smilies/smile.gif-good job InklingElf-and welcome to the Downs
Samwise:sorry no it wasn't Legolas
RingWraithNumber2:You were almost correct-good try smilies/wink.gif
Sorry for rushing everyone!

[Samwise]

'Sokay, Arie.

[Bruce MacCulloch]

It's still my turn - and no one has answered my quote.
- Arie, if you must ask a quote, either answer one first so that it is your turn to ask, or start a new thread, please.

[Eärendil]

Bruce MacCulloch, it´s Sam, when he and Frodo is in Shelob´s "hole".

[InklingElf]

Thank you Arie
Here's a new one people:

"Malice eats it like a canker, and the evil is growing"

[Arie]

ok Bruce-I'll do that...
InklingElf-wouldn't that be Faramir?

[InklingElf]

aaah!yes it is Arie. smilies/biggrin.gif
can you get this one? Or anyone else that's posting here?:

"We always seem to have got left out of the old lists, and the old stories."

Yep, you´re right! Your turn.

[Ringwraith Number Two]

OK. Here's another:
What is that that you bear, kinsman?

[Brinniel]

Hmmm. Was it Faramir?

[Ringwraith Number Two]

'Fraid not, Brinniel.

[Samwise]

I would have guessed Faramir, too.
Um...Theoden?

[elengil]

What is that that you bear, kinsman?

Wasnt that Aragorn to Halbarad?

[Ringwraith Number Two]

Yep, you're right, elengil! Carry on smilies/biggrin.gif

[elengil]

"Now I understand what seemed so strange to me!"

[merlilot]

Inklingelf: your quote is Pippin to Treebeard.

And I think the other one is Boromir at the Council, but I could be wrong.

And I think the other one is Boromir at the Council, but I could be wrong.

Wait, wait, wait!

Was it Faramir to Frodo and Sam, regarding what they told him...?

It wasnt frodo, sam OR faramir.

Was it Eomer?

[merlilot]

Was it Legolas, Elengil?

(and does your name mean star-star?)

[elengil]

Ok perhaps it was a bit *too* hard so I'll narrow it down....


It is in the first half of RoTK. It's spoken by a person while in the city of Minas Tirith. That should narrow it down a bit...


(and yes, it means star-star... slight mix-up while translating.. it was supposed to be day-star.. ah well)

[Bruce MacCulloch]

Now I understand what seemed so strange to me! That would have been said by Pippin regarding Denethor and the Palantír.

[elengil]

Ah I knew I shouldnt have given out so much in my hint. LOL good job.

[Bruce MacCulloch]

Whence they came none knew ...

[Grey_pilgrim]

umm..can i join in?
is it tom bombadil? smilies/biggrin.gif

[Samwise]

Sure, Grey_Pilgrim, welcome to the 'Downs and the thread! I'll bet you're answers' right....Mr. Bombadil speakin' of the Duendain....

[Bruce MacCulloch]

Nope!

[Isilya]

Bruce, is that the Tick in your picture? LOL!
I really don't know, but I'll say Tolkien? It's sounds like something out of the Sil, but I'm not sure.

[elengil]

I dont know who said it but I have a sneaking suspicion it was said *about* the Istari, Gandalf and such... Possibly Treebeard said it..?

[merlilot]

I have to agree with elengil...sounds like Treebeard and it must be about the Istari, they are the only ones that nobody knew the origin of...

[Legolas]

Éowyn to Théoden, Merry, Éomer, and Dúnhere about the "strange host" that passed through Harrowdale.

[Legolas]

I know I'm right, and it has been a couple of weeks. smilies/wink.gif

It is dangerous and narrow.

Nope.

Another shot in the dark - Frodo to Sam in Emyn Muil ???

No, earlier than both of those guesses.

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Gandalf?

[Legolas]

To who, about what?

[Samwise]

Gandalf to the other 8 Walkers about the Bridge at Kahzad Dum? (I know that's spelled wrong....) smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Legolas]

Yes, proceed with a new quote.

[Samwise]

*is amazed she got it right....*

Well, that's a warning to us all! It is as well, you used a stick, and not your hand, Strider!

probably pretty easy...

[Susan Delgado]

That is so familiar, but i can't put my finger on it....Frodo or Sam?

[Samwise]

No, though it is a comment about something Sam said.

[Susan Delgado]

Well, it said "Strider", so it has to have been before they arrived at Rivendell (or before the Council of Elrond at any rate). hmmm

[Susan Delgado]

Found it! Merry's reaction to Sam's Troll Song smilies/smile.gif

hmmm....how about,

Thank goodness!

[Telchar]

Bilbo to Gandalf - as he handed him the tobacco-jar...

[Susan Delgado]

Correct, Telchar.

[Telchar]

This is a thing of worth beyond your reckoning

Who Said it - who was he talking to and what was he talking about?

[Childlike Empress]

Was it Thorin telling Bilbo about the Arkenstone?

[Telchar]

no.

[Lothiriel Silmarien]

Was it Gimli talking to Frodo about his mithril coat?

[gralin musicteeth]

yup. pretty sure.
anyways, since there's no one around now, how about this one?
"Pack yourself up, Master Bag!"

[Fíriel]

that was 1 of the riders of rohan talking to merry smilies/eek.gif

[gralin musicteeth]

but which one?

[Susan Delgado]

Wait a minute here! We should wait for Telchar to verify Lothiriel's answer. That's how the game works.

[Telchar]

Thank you Susan - and NO its not Gimli and its not about the Mithril Coat - and Gralin Musicteeth - please try to respect the way the game goes: Someone asks a question - someone answers - the original asker has to confirm before the game proceeds.
If however you are impatient; start a new threat.

sorry bout that... never read the rules smilies/frown.gif anyway, was it Gandalf talking to Frodo about the ring?

Um...Boromir about the Ring at the Council of Elrond?

Nope

Trying to think of any of the other rings dealt with in enough detail to be spoken of...This is in LotR, you say? Not Silm, not Hobbit? Not any of the others that I haven't read?
