They are Elvish wights. Let them go where they belong, into the dark places, and never return. The times are evil enough.
Some people of Rohan talking about Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas.

Closed due to length
 
I'm going to have to close this thread due to its length. Firefoot, please could you start a new thread and post the rules of the game together with your current question?

Thanks. :)

Firefoot 02-18-2004 02:35 PM

Palantir of Fortune 4!!!
 
Since the last thread became too long I am reopening it here as Saucepan Man asked. The rules are:

The question consists of a series of blanks representing a quote or extract from one of Tolkien's books. The blanks are gradually filled with letters requested by the players until one of the players is able to guess the quote.

You can join in requesting letters or make a guess any time. The person who correctly guesses the quote first gets to set the next one.

My current question is:

Yep, I thought we were getting close to an answer. Your go, Nilpaurion.
