Come hither, Mansbane, and get a new name!

That name was not fun. You should be ashamed of yourself for making us work so hard!

That is, of course, correct! Congratulations, BG!!
( sorry if the challenge was wasting too much of your time... but if it's too easy, Morsul will get it with hardly any letters..:p )
Btw, I will be away for 2 weeks from tomorrow, with no access to the internet.

Let me know when you guys are ready. I have the quote bookmarked.

Oops, of course I have been back from holidays for weeks, but didn't any more get notifications by mail that "Palantir of fortune" was going on! My fault, for not looking in at the Barrowdowns :o:(

anyhow, I'd like to see "L" please!

"-f th-u f--l h--, -t -h-ll n-t f--l t- f-n- th--. f-----ll!"

FLHUNTY

Aha! :)

"If thou fail her, it shall not fail to find thee. Farewell!"

Dying Gwindors's last words to Turin, about saving Finduilas to escape his doom.

Yup! Tag, you're it!

OK, here's the next quote to be guessed:

"---/----/ ----/ ----/, -/ ----/, ----/ ---/ --/ -------/ ------/, -----/ --/ ----/ ------/ ---/ ----/ ---/ -------/. ---/ ---/ -----/ ----/ ---/ ----/ ---/ -----/ ----/ --/ ----/ ----- ?"

I for an eye?

I

"---/----/ ----/ ----/, -/ -i--/, ----/ ---/ --/ -------/ ------/, --i--/ i-/ ----/ ------/ ---/ ----/ ---/ -------/. -i-/ ---/ --i--/ ----/ ---/ ----/ ---/ -i---/ ----/ i-/ i---/ ----- ?"

A?

AI

"---/-a--/ ----/ ----/, -/ -i--/, ----/ ---/ --/ -a-----/ ------/, --i--/ i-/ ----/ ------/ ---/ -a--/ ---/ -------/. -i-/ ---/ --i--/ --a-/ ---/ -a--/ -a-/ -i---/ ----/ i-/ i---/ -a--- ?"

Hmm either N or T....


Since I'm currently drinking hot tea on this cold day, let's go with T.

TAI

"---/-a--/ ----/ --t-/, -/ -i--/, --t-/ --t/ --/ -a-----/ -----t/, --i--/ i-/ ----/ t-----/ ---/ -a--/ t--/ --t----/. -i-/ ---/ t-i--/ t-at/ t--/ -a--/ -a-/ -i---/ ----/ i-/ i---/ -a--- ?"

"---/-a--/ ----/ --t-/, -/

Okay I have a question. What is the / for in the first word? Is there supposed to be a space or a -?

And in that first set of commas there is one lone letter. It's not an a or an I. I don't remember Tolkien using O by itself without an apostrophe. Hmm.

Okay, let's go with a C, because I think the one word is secret.

Since I'm the only one here and I don't want to forget, this is my guess so far:

"---/-a--/ ----/ --t-/, -/ -i--/, --t-/ --t/ --/ -a-----/ secret/, --i--/ i-/ ----/ t-----/ ---/ -a--/ the/ --t----/. -i-/ ---/ think/ that/ thy/ -a--/ -a-/ -i---/ ----/ (in, is, or if)/ i---/ -a--- ?"

TAIC

"---/ -a--/ ----/ --t-/, -/ -i--/, --t-/ --t/ --/ -a-----/ -----t/, --ic-/ i-/ ----/ t-----/ ---/ ca--/ t--/ --t----/. -i-/ ---/ t-i--/ t-at/ t--/ -a--/ -a-/ -i---/ ----/ i-/ i---/ -a-c- ?"

I used the / just to separate the words. Apparently I forgot a space between the first two words.:o
No secret, no Thy. The rest of your guesses are correct! :)

Okay, how about an H?

"---/ -a--/ ----/ --t-/, -/ -i--/, --t-/ --t/ --/ -a-----/ -----t/, --ic-/ i-/ ----/ t-----/ ---/ ca--/ the/ --t----/. -i-/ ---/ think/ that/ t--/ -a--/ -a-/ -i---/ ----/ (in, is, or if)/ i---/ -a-c- ?"

I CHAT

"---/ ha--/ ----/ --t-/, -/ -i--/, --t-/ --t/ --/ -a-----/ -----t/, -hich/ i-/ ----/ t-----/ ---/ ca--/ th-/ --t----/. -i-/ ---/ thi--/ that/ th-/ -a--/ -a-/ -i---/ ----/ i-/ i---/ -a-c- ?"

How about we turn that I CHAT to I CHANT?
