And in the unlikely event that Thingol didn't meet Celeborn.....

Mablung -> Thingol -> Elmo -> Celeborn -> Arwen -> Halbarad

Ah, and the Saucester finds the one! All of the others were very good, but his was the shortest, thus the best. Fire away!

Thank you, Lindol. :)

Treebeard -> Smaug

No Hobbits and no Gandalf.

Treebeard-->Gimli-->Balin-->Smaug

Does that work?

No, sorry
 

I'm going to be harsh here and say that the connection between Balin and Smaug is not close enough. :p

How about Treebeard -> Gimli -> Thorin -> Smaug?

i believe u r one off
 

treebeard-gimli-gloin-bard-smaug?

Correct
 

Perfect Morsul. :) That's the one that I had (although you could also have substituted Legolas and Thranduil for Gimli and Gloin).

Take it away ...

lets try this one.......
i think this one should work
ulmo----tom bombadil

Ulmo-->Tuor-->Earendil-->Elrond-->Frodo-->Bombadil ?

It may be a stretch, but it's all I've got!

since i dont know much about the first 2 ages i think that sounds right

my answer....

ulmo-melkos-balrog-gandalf-frodo-bombadil

so go ahead ill try to get a better handle on this for next time around

Well, your answer is correct except we aren't allowed to use Gandalf. Since I'm not sure if my own is correct, I will await a more knowledgeable mind to confirm or refute it (Saucepan Man, are you out there?).

oh i missed that last bit on the first page sorry like i said im still learning about this so forgive me

PS i suppose you could use orc instead of gandalf?

Actually, as I see it, yours works fine, Son of Númenor. So I think you should continue.

Ecthelion of Gondolin --> Drogo Baggins

Ecthelion -> Tuor -> Eärendil -> Elrond -> Frodo -> Drogo

The Knight rode swiftly...

Take it away.

Freca -> Fingon

You're allowed to use one place.

Freca-> Helm's Deep-> Aragorn-> Glorfindel-> Turgon-> Fingon

I hope Willow doesn't see this...
 

NightKnight... *poke*

Do we know Freca was in Helm's Deep? It's not what I had in mind.

Ok...
 

Freca-> Meduseld-> Aragorn-> Glorfindel-> Turgon-> Fingon

Works fine. :)

Let's try...
 

Huan -> the Thrush in The Hobbit

Yes, I took it from OCO.

Huan -> Celegorm -> Maglor -> Elrond -> Bilbo -> Thrush

Works fine...
 

Although Maglor and Huan may have met. :)

Oh, well. Yours again.

I know, I put in Celegorm just to be safe.

Gaffer Gamgee -> Garulf

Gaffer Gamgee -> Samwise Gamgee -> Aragorn -> Eomer -> Garulf

Sure. :)

...Thorongil...

Oh, sorry. I've been away for about a week.

Miriel Serindë -> Robin Smallburrow

Míriel Serindë -> Fëanor -> Galadriel -> Sam -> Robin Smallburrow

Exactly.

Denethor -> Mat Heathertoes

Denethor-> Pippin-> Barliman Butterbur-> Mat Heathertoes

Yes.

Mardil Voronwe-> Lindir

Mardil Voronwe -> Earnur -> King of the Nazgul -> Glorfindel -> Lindir

Precisely. :)
