It's Gandalf to Beorn.
Quote:

"There we were with the wolves going mad underneath us and the forest beginning to blaze in places, when the goblins came down from the hills and discovered us. They yelled with delight and sang songs making fun of us."
Thank Eru for the word "goblins". That was a good one, Evisse!

Well done, Firefoot! ;)

Aha! This is the famous fox in "Three is company"!
Quote:

I have heard of strange doings in this land, but I have seldom heard of a hobbit sleeping out of doors under a tree."
I couldn't resist solving that one, but someone else should make the next riddle, because I'll be away on holidays for a week.

Tuor of Gondolin 07-22-2004 04:56 PM

Finally!!!
 
Quote:

Then Ecthelion said at last: "Now no further proof is needed; and even the name he claims as son of Huor matters less than this clear truth, that he comes from Ulmo himself."

(UT I 1)
Whee!

Tuor of Gondolin 07-22-2004 09:02 PM

Correct. Tuor 'da man! And you'll note he got an elvish babe, unlike his klutzy cousin. (You can't do business with that hothead Turin). :D

Your turn.

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-25-2004 10:14 PM

Haha!
