Legolas built a grey ship in Ithilien, and sailed down Anduin and so over Sea; and with him, itis said, went Gimli the Dwarf. And when that ship passed an end was come in Middle-earth of the Fellowship of the Ring.

Gandalf speaking to Frodo

Well, you got the quote and speaker right, but Gandalf said it to Théoden, not Frodo. :p Your turn.

Got it.

"I must see if I can't find a more or less decent giant to block it up again," said Gandalf, "or soon there will be no getting over the mountains at all."

Very well done and might I say good guess with the I. I'm thinking that's what helped. What with giant and mountain being a bit easier. Fantastic job however.

Nilpaurion Felagund

Thanks!

Just saw all those single dashes and thought, "Ah, this must be I's or a's."

Unbelieveable! I've stumped you for this long?

I knew using obscure quotes would help. :D

Guinevere

08-11-2005 02:30 PM

I think I've got it (more or less)...

"The dread that haunted the great Tower, and fear of the glooms of Fangorn that lay behind it, might protect it for a while, but if it were unmanned and neglected, as it was in the latter days of the stewards, that protection would not long avail."

It's about Orthanc, somewhere in UT, but I haven't found it yet. Is this just narrative, or is it really said by a person?

Edit: I've found it now, It's in U.T, " The Battles of the Fords of Isen", in appendix (ii), and as I suspected, it's just narrative.
Obscure indeed! ;) :p

Nilpaurion Felagund

08-11-2005 07:13 PM

You got it!

I knew normal quotes qould be no match for you guys, so I decided to raise the bar by using the obscurest quotes I could find! And nothing is more obscurer than the UT appendix.

Unless it's an endnote.

Yeah. http://www.geocities.com/louis_martian/smilies/evil.gif
