Macalaure 05-09-2006 02:30 AM

K's?

Tuor of Gondolin 05-09-2006 06:00 AM

"g"s, please.

Guinevere 05-09-2006 12:48 PM

K + G added

Tuor of Gondolin 05-10-2006 07:37 AM

"But/ it/ is/ just/ like/ that/ you/ shall/ fly/ from/ the/ land/ of/ the/ star/ with/ no/ star/ to/ guide/ you/; for/ that/ land/ is/ defiled/. Then/ you/ shall/ lose/ all/ that/ you/ have/ loved/, foretasting/ death/ in/ life/, seeking/ a/ land/ of/exile/ elsewhere/. "

The speaker: At a guess, Amandil?

Guinevere 05-10-2006 12:54 PM

You're right, it is Amandil speaking to Elendil, right before his departure.

The quote is correct except one word: it's "most like" instead of "just like" (aha! That's why you had asked for a J )

That quote was perhaps a bit too obscure.. :( . but if I use an easy one, Firefoot guesses it with 3 letters... :D

Tuor of Gondolin 05-11-2006 05:39 AM

Speaking of obscure...The next quote may be a bit so,
so it's a bit long, since any less might make it
too vague.

N's?

Tuor of Gondolin 05-11-2006 07:04 AM

Rumor has it this is enough for Firefoot
to solve the quote. :eek:

Is the H in the third line supposed to be there (well, obviously not but is it a typo or actually an H)?

Firefoot 05-13-2006 03:14 PM

H's?

Guinevere 05-15-2006 06:15 AM

Found it! :) (despite some forgotten d's and n's... ;) )

"Blame me not, as one unwarned, for what may then betide; may the power of the Lord of Waters be shown indeed! For in that hope alone have I been willing to guide you, and if it fails then more surely shall we die than by all the perils of wild and winter."

Voronwë speaking to Tuor about the peril of approaching the first gate .

Tuor in Gondolin 05-15-2006 07:56 AM

Correct. Your turn.

Guinevere 05-17-2006 01:53 AM

Thank you, Tuor! :)
Here comes the next one:

"----/ --/ ----/ ----/." (....) "---/ ----/ ---/ ---/ ---/ ---------/. -----/ --/ ----/ -----/ --/ ----/, ---/ ---/ --/ ---/ -----/ --/, ---/ -------/, ---/ ----/ ---/ ----/ --/. ---/ ----/ -/ ---/ ---/ ------/ --/ -/ -----/."

Firefoot 05-17-2006 05:33 AM

A's?

Tuor of Gondolin 05-17-2006 05:57 AM

"b"s?

Guinevere 05-19-2006 03:38 AM

AB (sorry for the delay!)

"----/ --/ ----/ -a--/." (....) "B--/ ----/ ---/ ---/ ---/ --ba-----/. B----/ --/ ----/ -----/ --/ b---/, a--/ -a-/ --/ a--/ ab---/ --/, a--/ b---a--/, a--/ ----/ ---/ ----/ --/. A--/ ----/ -/ b--/ ---/ ------/ --/ a/ -----/."

Tuor in Gondolin 05-19-2006 08:35 AM

"c"s?

Kath 05-19-2006 10:05 AM

D's? :D I couldn't resist!

Guinevere 05-19-2006 01:42 PM

AB CD :D

"----/ --/ ----/ -a--/." (....) "B--/ ---d/ ---/ ---/ ---/ --ba-----/. B----/ --/ ---d/ ---c-/ --/ b---/, a-d/ -a-/ --/ a--/ ab---/ --/, a-d/ b---a--/, a-d/ ----/ ---/ ----/ --/. A-d/ ----/ -/ b-d/ ---/ ------/ --/ a/ ---c-/."

Firefoot 05-19-2006 10:02 PM

It's a useful letter, after all...
 
E's? ;)

Kath 05-20-2006 05:44 AM

F's? :p

Tuor in Gondolin 05-20-2006 09:00 AM

Oh, let me see. I know!
How about "g"s?

Guinevere 05-21-2006 12:34 PM

ABCDEFG...(actually, no G)

"-e-e/ -e/ ----/ -a--/." (....) "B--/ -e-d/ ---/ f--/ --e/ e-ba--e--/. B----/ --/ ---d/ ---c-/ --/ b---/, a-d/ -a-/ --/ a--/ ab---/ --/, a-d/ be-ea--/, a-d/ ----/ ---/ ----/ --/. A-d/ --e-/ -/ b-d/ ---/ ------/ --/ a/ ---c-/."

Tuor in Gondolin 05-22-2006 10:05 AM

I think an 'i" request is in order.

Guinevere 05-22-2006 01:41 PM

ABCDEFGH I (I'd have been surprised by any other request! ;) )

"He-e/ -e/ -i--/ -ai-/." (....) "B--/ -e-d/ ---/ f--/ --e/ e-ba--e--/. B-i--/ --/ ---d/ --ic-/ --/ b---/, a-d/ -a-/ i-/ a--/ ab---/ --/, a-d/ be-ea-h/, a-d/ ----/ -i-/ ----/ i-/. A-d/ -he-/ I/ bid/ ---/ -h----/ i-/ a/ ---ch/."

Macalaure 05-22-2006 01:56 PM

J? I don't think so. :D

Maybe an 'N'?

Guinevere 05-22-2006 02:20 PM

ABCDEFGHI N ! :p

"He-e/ -e/ -i--/ -ai-/." (....) "B--/ -end/ n--/ f--/ --e/ e-ba--e--/. B-in-/ --/ ---d/ --ic-/ --/ b--n/, and/ -a-/ i-/ a--/ ab---/ --/, and/ benea-h/, and/ ----/ -i-/ ---n/ i-/. And/ -hen/ I/ bid/ ---/ -h----/ in/ a/ ---ch/."

Macalaure 05-22-2006 02:25 PM

A 'w'?

Guinevere 05-22-2006 03:10 PM
