Multiple-choice Beginnings and Endings of Quotes

[kittiewhirl1677]

Just like the title says, read the part of the quote below and choose which of the multiple-choices fit. Also include wether what you choose starts the quote or ends it. Or, if none of the multiple-choices fit with the quote, then state instead which ending would infact be correct. By the way, these should be from the LotR books.

And by the way Evisse its been ages, how are you?

[Evisse the Blue]

I have no idea right now, but anyway I'm pretty sure it's not A :p
I'm fine! (well, alright -- still sleeping late) ;)

[Sleepy Ranger]

but anyway I'm pretty sure it's not A

Theres no guarntee of anything in life, don't be so quick with decisions you may regret them later - Sleepy Ranger of the Downs, still alive(dead). :p

Need a hint?

[Evisse the Blue]

LOL! I got it - stupid me. It is A, Gandalf to Bilbo at the beginning of 'The Hobbit'.
::draws out long list of excuses:: My mind was all full of LOTR at the time, plus it was 1:00 am ...

[Sleepy Ranger]

And all this time I thought chameleons made quick changes,
Well A it is
:rolleyes:
Yes, yes I've heard that before and a lot more. I've answered correct at even 3 AM, then again I get enough sleep in school :rolleyes:

[Evisse the Blue]

::still grinning stupidly::

"Then get busy and

A: prepare breakfast

C: pull me up

By a minute???!!!!!
:mad:
This is the second time.......the second time I've missed it by a minute. (Check out The Chapter Game)

Theres always a next time :rolleyes:

[Evisse the Blue]

yes, by a minute, what a luck... Mariska, take it away!

[Mariska Greenleaf]

I'm sorry, Sleepy Ranger, maybe you should wake up...:D :p

Try this one!

This only I ask:

A: why did he go

B: and you refuse to answer me

C: for I learned that they had gone

D: give him some rest

E: give me news of my kin

Good luck!

[Sleepy Ranger]

This only I ask when your quest is recieved. Thats what I found in TT in the Riders of Rohan. Are you sure you got the question correct? Maybe I should search harder.......:(

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Yeah, you should look harder, knowing that you read lotr sooo many times, I decided to pick one that isn't in there...(hint)
:p

[Sleepy Ranger]

This only I ask give me news of my kin

Turambar to Mablung

Well I read the Silma twice......but I've read chapter 21 about 5 times......Well I've always liked the Hobbit and LOTR more
BILBO RULES!!!!!!!!!:rolleyes:

Call me lucky, I started reading the Silm from where I left of last night

[Mariska Greenleaf]

You lucky one you!
Good job:)

[Evisse the Blue]

*bump
Another one waiting for you, Sleepy!

[Sleepy Ranger]

Hey blame that on the exams and my birthday. I'm not forgetful...wait I think I am or maybe I'm not oh well I forgot wether I was forgetful or not. :( :rolleyes:

Ok next question.

This is the end.

A. We shall die here
B. But from it we shall create a new begining
C. But such an end we shall make it that it be worthy of rememberance.
D. But do not lose hope.

[Evisse the Blue]

Is it D, Gandalf to Pippin?

[Arvedui III]

Herm...C, maybe? Theoden to Aragorn.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Nope, none of them.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Need a hint?

[Eowyn Skywalker]

Its A.
I recognize it... but I don't know who said it.
-Eowyn Skywalker

[rutslegolas]

lets see its C. Aragorn to Theoden

[Sleepy Ranger]

A it is. But who to whom?
HINT-Frodo wasn't born when it was spoken.;)

[symestreem]

Thorin, Dwalin, Balin, Fili, Kili, Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin, Gloin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Bilbo, or some combination of the above.

"We are trapped!" they groaned. "This is the end. We shall surely die here."-
the dwarves and Bilbo, after Smaug smashed the door and trapped them in the mountain in The Hobbit.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Thats it your go

[symestreem]

"Be not hasty...


A. There are enough chips to go around.
B. Master Meriadoc
C. You'll be letting out your own right names if you're not careful.
D. We ask a greater thing than thou knowest.
E. Let wisdom guide your course.

[Thorongil]

B. Treebeard to Merry.

[rutslegolas]

C. Treebeard to Merry
E. Faramir to Frodo

[symestreem]

No, no, and no. Since you have between you guessed all the logical answers except for the right one, I will give you the answer (hope nobody took me seriously about the chips).
It's from the Sil:
"But Aule said: 'Be not hasty! We ask a greater thing than thou knowest. Let him have peace yet awhile.'"
I know two of those sound like Treebeard should have said them, but I don't believe he ever uses those exact words. He usually addresses Merry as 'Merry', not 'Master Meriadoc'.
I'm not sure what correct thread procedure is in a case like this, so I'm posing another question. Whoever can identify and complete the quote from answer C can take the thread. It's not difficult.
rutslegolas, please only submit one guess at a time. It makes it more fun for the rest of us!

[Arvedui III]

The Sil? Ahh, that would explain why the chips answer seemed like the only one left. Would have hilarious if it was.

You call yourselves hobbits? But you should not go telling just anybody. You'll be letting out your own right names if you're not careful.

Treebeard to Merry.

[symestreem]

I don't believe they had potato chips in Middle-earth. Or microchips. Perhaps they were poker chips? Or... buffalo chips.
Your turn, Arvedui.

[Arvedui III]

Perhaps. Herm, let's have an easy one:

"He is dead...

A. It's as I feared.
B. As he foresaw
C. I shan't ever be able to smoke again without thinking of him.
D. But not forgotten.
E. Ohohoh, look who know's so much. Turns out your friend here is only mostly dead. With mostly dead, you're still a little bit alive.

[Eowyn Skywalker]

The correct answer is C.
It is Merry, in regards to King Theoden's death, after he wakes up in the House of Healing, and asks Aragorn, Gandalf, and Pippin for a smoke.
And Pippin says: Smoke then, and think of him.
Or something like that.
Anyhow. the game is to name the quoter and the finished quote.
There. Is it right?
Thanks,
Eowyn SKywalker

[Sleepy Ranger]

I forgot this place existed.
I'm not sure. No books handy to check. But If i remmeber correct it was Eowyn to Eomer. He is dead as he foresaw.

[Arvedui III]

Good try, Eowyn Skywalker. C was the trap answer. Merry says a little bit before he declars not to smoke. Sleepy is right. Your go, Mr. Ranger. :)

[Sleepy Ranger]

"And there is a great deal too,"

A. If you'd like some.
B. That we want to know about you.
C. But that is not enough.
D. A bit too great for some.
E. But not great enough for me.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

B. that we want to know about you.

Merry to Legolas.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Mari, you're getting fast. Almost as fast as me.;)

[Mariska Greenleaf]

I'm working on it...;)

Shut the doors of the fortress and...

A. let them come!
B. stay inside.
C. light the candles.
D. go not abroad.
E. wait till morning is nigh.

[Sleepy Ranger]

D
Gelmir and Arminas to The King of Nargothrond at that time. That was the time Turin was around so the King was Orodreth.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Yep, that's the one.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

bump! Sleepy?

[Sleepy Ranger]

That wouldn't do at all
A. I said soon not instantly
B. There must be some other path.
C. You must do something else.
D. We need a new plan.

[Firefoot]

A. Gandalf said it to Frodo.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Yes thats it

[Sleepy Ranger]

So Firefoot, Planning on questioning?

[Firefoot]

Yeah... I really should start writing these down, which threads I guess on. Anyway -

"I wouldn't do that...
A. unless it was the only way."
B. for any money."
C. because it's dangerous."
D. if I was in your place."
E. unless I had great need of haste."

[Sleepy Ranger]

B.
Barliman Butterbur to Strider/Aragorn/Elessar/Thorongil etc.

[Firefoot]

Yes.

[Thorongil]

*bump*

[Sleepy Ranger]

You are father of our folk

A.We have bled for you.
B.And always shall remain.
C.And I will not leave you
D.So I shall call you Dad.

[Evisse the Blue]

I think it's A, spoken by the dwarves to Durin or another Dwarven king...I don't have the books to check though, so I'll leave it as a guess...

[Sleepy Ranger]

A certain dwarf said it to another dwarf. Both of which are well known. Atleast I think they are. :p

[Evisse the Blue]

Yes, Dain to Thrain... Well, at least I guessed they were dwarves. :p

I am bruised and in pain,

A. and I shall not be whole again
B. but it is not too bad
C. let me be alone
D. toss me some morphine, will you?
E. I shall go with the sun

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

I'll have what's behind door 'B', please.

Speaking of going with the sun: been into 'Death Quotes' recently?

[Evisse the Blue]

And door number B holds the prize! All the others were traps leading to monstrous deaths. ;) I'll go check said thread right away!

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

They will simply come down on us in force, corner us, and then...

A: ... fall upon us and kill us where we stand
B: ... force us to listen to their poetry
C: ... carry us before the Dark Lord
D: ... drive us out, or burn us in
E: ... take all of our pipeweed
F: ... do the Okey Cokey

[HerenIstarion]

D, if you please

that being Merry in reply to Sam's proposal to go and hold at Cotton's (Scouring of the Shire)

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

It certainly is, Heren. I can see that no amount of silly dancing is going to fool you.

[HerenIstarion]

B. To get rid of it
C. To sell it at a fair price

F. To win yourself a fortune

[wilwarin538]

Ill try A

[HerenIstarion]

Nope

But there were spelling errors omitted, which are now corrected, so you are entitled to another look :)

[Thorongil]

B? Bilbo to Frodo at the end.

[HerenIstarion]

Right you are, Thorongil

Take it away :)

[Thorongil]

To tell you the truth,

a) so am I.
b) we are lost.
c) I wondered what you were talking about.

[HerenIstarion]

Twas Sam to Galadriel, when the latter was discussing her ring with Frodo

[Thorongil]

Yup. Your go.

[HerenIstarion]

B. I don't want any adventures, thank you.
C. You were supposed to come to tea tomorrow,

[Sleepy Ranger]

Its everything but B...... I mean its B but everything....argh I mean its B.
That Bilbo Baggins guy said it to that Gandalf guy

[HerenIstarion]

Correct it is, take it over :)

[Sleepy Ranger]

Why must you

1-Disturb my rest
2-Give me no peace at all
3-Destroy it
4-Go alone
5-Leave me

EDIT- The 100th post of this thread.... And it was me who posted it. Brilliant.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Why must you... disturb my rest?

Said Saruman when Gandalf and co came to "disturb his rest".

[Sleepy Ranger]

Well done Mari. I do believe its your go.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Thanks Sleepy!

..... half like a goblin.

A. He crawled towards them...

[Sleepy Ranger]

D. Frodo to himself

[HerenIstarion]

D

As the 'squint-eyed southerner' was described in Prancing Pony in Bree

[HerenIstarion]

Come to think of it, it was rather on the road by Bill Ferny's house. Anyways, previous post being a crossing with Sleepy Ranger, I acknowledge my loss by two minutes :)

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Yeah, Sleepy was a bit faster! For some obscure reason I thought that I had put up a challenging one, how wrong was I... ;)

[Sleepy Ranger]

how wrong was I

Very wrong

what is the good

1- Of this task?
2- Of such honor?
3- Of this trinket?
4- in destroying it?
5- in him, I yet do not see as you do.

[wilwarin538]

I think 4, it sounds like something Boromir said at the council of elrond.

[Sleepy Ranger]

I was hoping my phony trap would work. Nope its wrong.

[Firefoot]

I'm going to guess 2; it sounds like something Éowyn would say.

[Sleepy Ranger]

It is number 2 but I'm afraid you have the wrong speaker.

[HerenIstarion]

Pippin in Minas Tirith, complaining to Beregond concerning his term of being hungry whilst waiting upon Denethor

[Sleepy Ranger]

Well done. It is now your turn HI.

[HerenIstarion]

merci :)

what would be the correct answer to the following question?

on foot?

A. Are you nuts? There are leagues upon leagues of wood to wade through!
B. No, I suppose we'll catch a cab
C. Yes, a little walk will do us good
D. Of course, just take a look at our bulging muscles!
E. We are fighting Uruk-Hai!
F. Yes, even as you see us
G. No, noone can walk down from this eyrie; only jump or fly
H. Yes-s-s, my precious-s-s, we have s-s-ssix...
I. On feet!

[Sleepy Ranger]

I admit you are a genius!

Well the answer is , "Yes, even as you see us."

Aragorn to that Eomer dude.

[HerenIstarion]

You've got your dude(s). Take it over :)

[Sleepy Ranger]

And what may be the answer to your riddle?

What is the first line of the riddle. (It was given befor the question was asked.)

1- Ere Iron was found or tree was hewn
2- Voiceless it cries
3- Whats in my pocket?
4- An eye in a blue face

And I have a special request- If it be ok with everyone may I please post the 120th post on this thread? :) Please :)

Regards,
Sleepy Ranger (Yes I have flipped and I really do want to post the 120th post)

[HerenIstarion]

ah, tricksy ranger. Tried to fool me to think it was in The Hobbit! But, truly it was taken from Gandalf's recitation to Theoden, concerning Ents and Huorns:

Ere iron was found or tree was hewn,
When young was mountain under moon;
Ere ring was made, or wrought was woe,
It walked the forests long ago.'

So it is option 1, if you please

[Sleepy Ranger]

Yes you are correct and now the 120th post. Now I shall reveal why I requested that I be the one posting it. If you'll go back and see pages 1 and 2 I posted the last post on both of them and now with this post I have posted the last post on all 3 pages. Kind of nutty but I like it. Its kinda funny. After noticing that I had posted the last posts on the first and second pages I used my brain and figured out at which post this page would end and 120 was the lucky number (40 posts a page if you've noticed). Now I hold the honor of having posted the final post on all 3 pages. (Evil smiley here)

Anyway Heren your turn. :)

[HerenIstarion]

Last post on each page -- an issue worthy to be added to Top Ten Signs You're Addicted to the Barrow-Downs (http://69.51.5.41/showthread.php?t=5145) list! ;)

Well, next quote:

Indeed! And what may be your business?

A. My business is with Isengard tonight, with rock and stone
B. Whatever it is, it's my own, my good elves
C. I am bound here till midnight. A sorry business altogether
D. I have, as I told you, some pressing business away south
E. A very ticklish business, it was. Touch and go!
F. It mustn't ask us. Not its business, no, gollum!
G. This is merrymaking not business. Come and go as you like, as long as you don't make a noise
H. Never you mind. I was finding things out, as usual; and a nasty dangerous business it was
I. It's my business to ask questions after nightfall

[Sleepy Ranger]

It is B and Bilbo said it the good elves

[HerenIstarion]

you are fast! I certainly spent sevenfold (at least) time contriving it, as all entries are genuine quotes (so I thought to fool you) :)

[Sleepy Ranger]

So then the next one-

I see a white stream

1- And a meadow
2- Burning in a dark land giving way to lost
3- flowing through a cave
4- Around a magnificent city
5- that comes down from the snows
6- thats flows through the valleys
7- with fish
8- there lies the answer
9- where we can swim
10- There we shall rest for a while

10 options must be a new record :)

[Firefoot]

5 - Legolas said it to Gandalf, Gimli, and Aragorn.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Correct!

[Firefoot]

Thank'ee.

It is a sign of the end and fall of many things, and...

1- I do not believe we will meet again.
2- the time of the Elves is passing.
3- a change in the tides of the world.
4- the great battle of our time is coming.

[HerenIstarion]

Aragorn just after the battle of Pelennor Fields, before the Gates of Minas Tirith

[Firefoot]

Yes.

[HerenIstarion]

Continue me this:


No you don't!

A. Not gold alone brought us hither
B. Put him down, and listen first to what he has to say
C. You are only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all
D. I don't, because I am not sending it
E. Let your legs take their share, we have carried you far enough
F. You don’t belong here; you’re no Baggins - you - you’re a Brandybuck!
G. Yes I do! And I mean what I say, what's more
H. But perhaps you don't mind bad smells
I. Because the bacon knows that it will get back in the pan sooner or later

***

Now, two of the answers are correct. I'll get along even if only one is guessed out, but I'd be pleased even more if both are.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Is it I,

In the Hobbit I think. Uh a dwarf to Bilbo. er, name the dwarf. Lucky guess time.
um, Is it Dori to Bilbo. wait was it even a dwarf who said it? I'm confused. :(

[Firefoot]

One of them is E - it was the Dwarves to Bombur, after he had woken up.

[HerenIstarion]

You've got your dwarf. It was Dori to Bilbo as the latter compared their flight with eagles to feelings of bacon taken by the fork out of the pan and up on shelf

Another correct quess would have been E, dwarves again, to just waken up Bombur expressing the wish to go to sleep again (in Mirkwood)

edit:

Cross-posted wit Firefoot here. Correct you are. I suppose it was my mistake to have two correct answers, my apologies. I never thought about possiblity of two people giving different correct answers almost simultaneously :). But I suppose it is Sleepy's turn all the same, as there is some ten minutes gap in his favour :)

cheers

[Evisse the Blue]

I hate to do this to you, Sleepy, but since you're not around and it's been more than 10 days...I'll steal your turn at a new one:

Though at the moment I feel more:

A. at peace then I had in years
B. weary then usual
C. scared than I did then
D. certain of defeat than I do of victory
E. jealous of Arwen then I've had in a long while
F. like singing, if you get my meaning
G. inclined to give Grima the benefit of the doubt
H. like butter spread over too much bread
I. of a weary hobbit than a hero
J. hungry and less thirsty
K. like eating and drinking

New record - 11 options :D

[Firefoot]

K - Frodo said it to Pippin.

[Evisse the Blue]

Ah, Firefoot, always right, impossible to mislead... ;)
Go ahead!

[Firefoot]

Thank you.

"Still I do not doubt...

A. that this is a thing of great worth
B. my guess anymore
C. that more than mere chance brought the ring to us
D. that you guess right
E. that this is the right way
F. you have had a difficult journey
G. your story any longer
H. that he is dead
I. that none escaped
J. he could do some mischief

12 choices!

[HerenIstarion]

D, Aragorn to Gimli on the eves of Fangorn Forest, as they discuss the possibility of Saruman nicking off their horses

[Firefoot]

Yes. :)

[HerenIstarion]

I feel magnificent (that is both the next quote to be continued, and my feelings at the moment :))

So:

I feel magnificent:

A. but I expect I look rather absurd
B. Those mushrooms went down well
C. Warm fire, good beer - what else a hobbit may wish for?
D. but for this lack of proper food. Even lembas may bore one, I suppose
E. though this miruvor draught makes me see pink and fluffy oliphaunts
F. I am magnificent. Sam the mighty, Hero of the Age!
G. This pyre is so warming

[Evisse the Blue]

welcome back, HI! glad you feel magnificent! :D
The answer's A. First I thought it was Frodo when he put on the mithril coat, but then I realized it was actually Bilbo on the same occasion!

[HerenIstarion]

Thank you :)

Your answer is correct too :) take it over

[Evisse the Blue]

But maybe I shall come yet

A. to see these days renewed
B. and in battle we may yet meet again
C. to the end of my quest
D. where I can stand and fight
E. to your funeral
F. to a place where I shall find rest

[Sleepy Ranger]

Its D,
Gimli said it to Theoden

[Evisse the Blue]

You got it, Sleepy.

[Evisse the Blue]

Wake up call for Sleepy! :p

[Sleepy Ranger]

Zzzzzzzzz *snort* huh? wha? where am I? Oh right... Here you go.

D. have I met one such as you"
E. I have enjoyed that leisure"
F. has anyone done a deed more worthy of song"

[HerenIstarion]

A

Boromir, as the fellowship discuss the further route on the borders of Gondor

[rutslegolas]

I think it is B.

[Firefoot]

H-I has it!

[HerenIstarion]

Ugh!

A. It isn't fair, my precious, is it, to ask us what it's got in its nassty little pocketses?
B. it is the first time that even a mouse has crept along carefully and quietly under my very nose and not been spotted
C. It isn't bird-nesting time
D. it is cold and clammy!
E. it is a pool or a lake, and not an underground river
F. it is an elvish blade, too
G. It isn't all that big, and it does not go far back.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Its B ;)

[Sleepy Ranger]

Since HI is not replying and no one else is and it looks like the chances of me making last post are bad so... I have an idea. Ahem sorry. The answer is D. It is cold and clammy.

[HerenIstarion]

Now D is correct :)

[HerenIstarion]

Now, this is post #159. Have a go at the last one with the new quote :)

[Sleepy Ranger]

Thank you. A very kind gesture indeed. After Plan A failed, I moved to Plan B. But HI used Plan C. (Hope I confused all of you.)

"I will tell you what I know"

A. if you shall not harm me.
B. He was a brave man and died an honorable death.
C. and give you some good advice.
D. They give out free Toy Rings™ with each McDonalds Happy Meal.
E. and what I saw

4 in a row. I shall soon take over the world. Mwahahahhaa.

[rutslegolas]

I think its A.

[HerenIstarion]

It's C. Strider to Frodo in Bree:

'Several things,' answered Strider. 'But, of course, I have my price.'
'What do you mean?' asked Frodo sharply.
'Don't be alarmed! I mean just this: I will tell you what I know, and give you some good advice - but I shall want a reward

[HerenIstarion]

What news from the West, Rangers of the Dreme?

[HerenIstarion]

'It is likely enough

A. that he will be fit to arise tomorrow, for a short while
B. they will prove the deadliest foes of our foe.
C. yet I am not sure
D. but he makes many journeys and may be met in many places
E. you’ll pass a lot of time finding this one out
F. and yet as likely as not
G. but who would think of casting away the Ring of Power?

[rutslegolas]

Is it C??

[HerenIstarion]

I would be glad to confirm your guess if only you were so kind as to provide the cirmumstances and the speaker too :)

[Sleepy Ranger]

Wow! It sure has quitened down at quotes... Time to begin the revival process.

Its C.
Said by Aragorn to Legolas & Gimli.

[HerenIstarion]

Go ahead :)

[Evisse the Blue]

Did I not say that:

A. I will come with you
B. I wished to speak to you
C. I hold your oath fulfilled
D. I do not like green eggs and ham
E. I would not have it so
F. if you should pass the doors of Moria, beware
G. before, but do you ever listen to me

[HerenIstarion]

Aragorn, to no one in particular, but allegedly to Gandalf who just perished, lamenting and complaining in his bereavement and loss.

Always makes me sob, even though I know Gandalf will come back later on...

[HerenIstarion]

Cunningly done, Mistress - they are all alike

But I admitt my hastiness in replying, it is not F, it is B :)


'Now!' said Gimli. 'Stop him, Legolas!'
'Did I not say that I wished to speak to you?' said the old man. 'Put away that bow, Master Elf!'
The bow and arrow fell from Legolas' hands, and his arms hung loose at his sides.
'And you, Master Dwarf, pray take your hand from your axe-haft, till I am up! You will not need

Old Man being Gandalf returned

cheers

[Evisse the Blue]

Correct indeed! I was hoping someone will fall for that trap *evil laugh* :p

[HerenIstarion]

I did. Or it was more like a stumble ;)

Next one:

Here's the passage

A. Lots-ss of tasty goblins-sses down there, lots-ss
B. But we durstn't go in, precious, no we durstn't
C. But you cannot pass
D. It was made by those who are Dead, and the Dead keep it, until the time comes. The way is shut
E. And Aragorn may pass
F. But right or wrong, we must take the other
G. I am tired of stairs and stone passages. I would give a good deal for the feel of grass at my toes.

[Evisse the Blue]

Is it G?
If not a hint please. :D

[HerenIstarion]

No, not G

Hint: It is not in LoTR

[Evisse the Blue]

Then it's B (Gollum, in The Hobbit, chapter Riddles in the Dark).

[HerenIstarion]

You've got your man (hobbit? unidentified slimy creature?), lady :D

[Evisse the Blue]

Let us sit down

A. and have a bite to eat
B. and rest while we may
C. and be more at ease
D. for time has not yet come for action
E. and talk for a while
F. and then you can tell me your story
G. for we are weary with toil
H. here, near this harmless and friendly-looking willow tree.

[paavo]

Could it be G? I have this feeling that it is Gimli who says it although it doesn't sound like something he would say... But I'll trust my instincts (wouldn't be the first time they are wrong) and say G.

[Evisse the Blue]

It's neither B nor G. :D

[The Elf-warrior]

I think it's F.

[paavo]

It has to be E said by Faramir to Frodo and Sam. My sixth sense cannot be wrong! :rolleyes:

[Evisse the Blue]

It's E alright. But it's Gandalf to Aragorn and Gimli. :D However, it could also be Faramir to Frodo and Sam, I haven't checked.
In any case, you've got the right answer - thread is yours.

[paavo]

A little finetuning and my sixth sense shall be unerring! :rolleyes: ;)
But to the business:

I seek the Paths of the Dead! Come with me

a. who dare.
b. who are not afraid of the dead.
c. Legolas and Gimli.
d. to the halls of the betrayers.
e. who will!
f. if your heart does not quail before the ghosts of Men.
h. if you will pass through hundreds of thousands of miniature skulls!

have fun! :)

[Firefoot]

It's E. Said by Aragorn to Gimli and Legolas and the Dunedain (and others?).

[paavo]

E it is. well done. :)

[Firefoot]

;)

"You have doomed yourselves

A. to death in battle."
B. so will you not now listen to my counsel?"
C. yet not all is lost, maybe."
D. and you know it."
E. to a hopeless chase."
F. to trust to luck again."
G. either here or wherever the black tide overtakes you."
H. and fallen into folly."

[paavo]

I will go again with my sixth sense and say F. The speaker could be... Gandalf?

[Evisse the Blue]

Firefoot, you there? :)
If Paavo is not correct, I'll guess C.

[Firefoot]

Neither of those is correct.

Sorry for the delay - my posting in quotes threads is so sporadic I forget which threads I'm in... :rolleyes: ;)

[Sleepy Ranger]

Do they still have the 10 day rule?

The have gone

A. Up Into The Citadel
B. over the river
C. Past the mountain
D. To a place where none dare go
E. To buy new games for their PS2 of dooms.

Its E! Pick E!

[paavo]

could it be Gandalf about Frodo and Sam, saying that they have disappeared from the reach of his eyes?

[Sleepy Ranger]

Maybe.
But your sig says maybe pretty much always means no, so no!
You'll have to try harder mate. :)

[Firefoot]

D?

Éowyn about Aragorn and co.?

[Sleepy Ranger]

....I meant Nay! Guess again if you will. But I say its E.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Come on people take a shot at it.

[arcticstorm]

Is it A?

[Firefoot]

B? Mayhap Aragorn to Gandalf about Frodo and Sam?

[Sleepy Ranger]

It is A but who said it and to who.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Can't be that hard now that you have the whole quote...

[HerenIstarion]

Pippin to wounded Merry in Minas Tirith about Théoden and Éowyn

[Sleepy Ranger]

Right you are Heren. Take it away. :)

[HerenIstarion]

Well than:

I was having such a lovely dream

A. I saw Arwen in a neglige... ah...
B. I drained a cup that was filled with a fragrant draught, cool as a clear fountain, golden as a summer afternoon, and than you woke me!
C. And I heard a sound of the Sea far-off; a sound I had never heard in waking life
D. All about having a most gorgeous dinner
E. In which a warrior, altogether insignificant in size but provided with a bitter sword and great courage, figured most unpleasantly

[Sleepy Ranger]

The answer would be D.
Bilbo to one of the dwarves in The Hobbit.
Dori as per my book.

[HerenIstarion]

He's gone like BOMBUR! A-aaaa!

Your turn again :)

[Sleepy Ranger]

No good'll come of it

A)All he wants is to kill us.
B)Mark my words.
C)But it is your choice.
D)Toss it away, I say.
E)It would be best to leave it behind.

[Evisse the Blue]

I have a feeling it's B, and it's Sam who says it sometime.

[Sleepy Ranger]

It is B but you're well off track with who said it.
Please Insert A Coin And Try Again

[paavo]

*inserts a coin* Sounds like Eomer to me.

[Sleepy Ranger]

You're all looking in the wrong book. :rolleyes:

[arcticstorm]

It sounds like something said at the end of the Hobbit.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Nope, still wrong. In fact its quite far off.

[Guinevere]

Are Tolkien's minor works included in this game?
If so, the gloomy blacksmith in "Farmer Giles of Ham" says these words.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Yes, all yours Guinevere :)

[Guinevere]

Thanks! (Although, in the first post it was stated:By the way, these should be from the LotR books.
and Evisse's answer:and it's Sam who says it sometime. wasn't altogether wrong, because the gloomy blacksmith is called Sam! (even "sunny Sam"! :D )

Anyhow, I'll try my hand at contriving a new one (seems harder than solving... )

"Grievous is our loss"

1) but even now there is hope left
2) yet we will cast all away rather than submit to Sauron
3) all the same I bid you not to despair
4) yet we must needs make up our minds
5) but let not your hearts be sad

[Koneko]

4. "Yet we must needs make up our minds without his aid." I watched the Fellowship again last night. :) Legolas.

[Guinevere]

Gosh, it took me such a long time to think of something suitable, and you spotted the right one at once! :( ;)

OK, your turn, Koneko!

[Koneko]

... uhm. I've got no quote!

[Sleepy Ranger]

...I declare the floor open, who ever wishes to present us the next question may do so. :)

[Sleepy Ranger]

This is the end.

A. We shall die here
B. But from it we shall create a new begining
C. But such an end we shall make it that it be worthy of rememberance.
D. But do not lose hope.

[Celuien]

A.

Dwarves in The Hobbit, Chapter 13.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Righty-o, all yours ma'am.

[Celuien]

Turn your face from the green world

A. for all things shall wither and fall into darkness!
B. and look to the Sea for your hope!
C. and look where all seems barren and cold!
D. and gaze upon the handiwork of Varda.

[HerenIstarion]

C.

Gandalf to Aragorn as the former took the latter up Mindolluin in search of the white tree sapling.

[Celuien]

So it is. The thread is yours. :)

[HerenIstarion]

Thanks:

Maybe you have heard of Trolls?

A. They are made of stone.
B. They are mighty strong.
C. They bake good bread.
D. They are performed in a theater round the corner.
E. You have, now? Let us troll a merry song, than!
F. I've caught a twelve pound trout just yesterday!

[Sleepy Ranger]

It is B. Treebeard said it to Merry (& Pippin) I believe.

[HerenIstarion]

The floor is yours, Sir Ranger :)

[Sleepy Ranger]

You are not at all yourself this morning.

A)You have never dusted the mantle-piece.
B)The days grow darker
C)The stars shine brighter
D)or so says Lord Elrond.

[HerenIstarion]

A.

Gandalf to Bilbo as the latter woke up early and was not inclined to tidy up after dish-washing for fourteen

[Sleepy Ranger]

Yeah, all yours Heren. Just nine more posts for the last post... :D
I call dibs on the posting the 240th post by the way. You should know why Heren... ;)

[HerenIstarion]

Yes, I remember :)

Next one:

Must we go any further?

A. I mean about the gold and the dragon, and all that, and how it got there, and who it belongs to, and so on and further.
B. We must take our chance of that
C. My toes are all bruised and bent, and my legs ache, and my stomach is wagging like an empty sack
D. Yes, I am. I feel I need a holiday, a very long holiday, as I have told you before
E. We are making for the inn here. We are journeying east and cannot go further tonight
F. I am afraid this has been too much for Frodo
G. I suppose not. But so far my only thought has been to get here; and I hope I shan't have to go any further.
H. We must decide before we go further.
I. We cannot go further tonight. Let those call it the wind who will; there are fell voices on the air; and these stones are aimed at us.
J. Where d’you think you’re going? There’s no road for you any further

[arcticstorm]

I would say C
It sounds like something Bilbo would have said on the mountain during the rainstorm in the hobbit.

[HerenIstarion]

Spot on :) I praise your erudition, Sir!

[Sleepy Ranger]

Bump for Arctic.

[arcticstorm]

ok, the next question

If they are not alive when we get back…

a. There will be hell to pay
b. I am going to kill you as well
c. Then everything is lost
d. Someone else will die too
e. Then all hope is indeed lost
f. How can we continue on?
g. Lugburz will be very angry
h. You must guide the people out of Gondolin.
i. Then we will be able to reclaim that which is ours.
j. You must flee to King Thingol of Doriath.

[HerenIstarion]

D, Ugluk about Pippin and Merry, I suppose?

[arcticstorm]

That is correct HI your go

[HerenIstarion]

Thanks

Yet I would like Sleepy Ranger to ask us next riddle...

...Sleepy?

[Sleepy Ranger]

Ah, dear Heren! Thank you my friend. :)

You are father of our folk.

A. We have bled for you.
B. And so shall remain.
C. And I will not leave you.
D. You have cared for us.

[Evisse the Blue]

It's A, Dain to Thrain.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Take it away, lass.

[Evisse the Blue]

It is a great host

A. and we should repay it
B. and it's approaching fast
C. and follows us hard
D. and it is on our trail

[HerenIstarion]

I suppose that must have been said by someone in Theoden's host (probably Aragorn) about Halbarad's company of rangers following Theoden's company. That is, it's C

[Sleepy Ranger]

I'm quite certain you've got the speaker down but I'm also rather certain it wasn't about Halbarad. Ah well, we'll wait for Evisse.

[Evisse the Blue]

Yep, it is Aragorn to Theoden. Sleepy was right as well, though, it's not about Halbarad, it's about the host of orcs.

Your thread, HI. :)

[HerenIstarion]

Help! help! help!

A. I never meant to leave you like this for ever and ever; but now I don't see that it can be helped
B. Drat you, dog! What be you a-doing?
C. I am not trying to rob you, but to help you. I wish you would trust me, as you used
D. I was looking forward to your help
E. They are taking the hobbits to Isengard!
F. Awake! Fear! Fire! Foes! Awake!
G. I see that you do not yet know what to do. It is not my part to choose for you; but I will help you as I may
H. I'm sorry, but I can't help you, I'm afraid

[Evisse the Blue]

Is it B? :o

[HerenIstarion]

Yes it is, spot on :)

[Evisse the Blue]

It was a guess by elimination. ;]

My heart desires:

A. to find peace at last
B. this treasure
C. to come with you
D. to remain with you
E. to dwell in peace
F. a good meal
