What? No takers??? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

C'mon, people! This is faux-naïf for you expert quizzers!

OK, how about someone ask me for a hint...although I did recall someone say...

OK, if I make the first four posts of the eight page of this thread, I'm going to be really sad... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Nooooo! ... I won't let this happen. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
So: Could I have a hint please? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Wow! Thank you!

South is both a straight and a cryptic clue. Twice means you'll have to use bearing twice.

There! That's all I could give without giving away the answer!

Is the answer Sarn Gebir? Because if it is, that's been posted here before. Or maybe it was another thread...

I know what you mean. But this is different.

And the answer's not Sarn Gebir... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

*drool drizzles from the dank, dark, dungeon that is my mouth*

Any takers? *wrings hands in agony* Pleaeaeaeaeazzzzzzzzeeeeeee!!!!!!

Was it Smeagol, because he held (or bore) the Ring twice?

I'm sorry, but no...

lbo?

A hint would be nice, though, if that isn't the right answer.

Hints? Like what? Like, if I say they are a group of people? That kind of hints? No, I won't give you hints. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

The Edain?

The host of the Last Alliance?
they both went south and there were elves and men together (elendil and Gil-Galad)

And both answers are...wrong!

Sauron? He fled south twice.

Your answer is wrong. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Oh, by the way - the question is one pure cryptic mess.

This may make no sense, but on the other hand it does, if reading the cryptic clue word by word.

Shadowfax is bearing Gandalf two times south to Minas Tirith. So, I say: Shadowfax?

Near Harad/Far Harad ?

Clarifying question:

Bearing bearing south.

And...the answer is a group of people. Yohoho! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Is the answer Corsairs?

Not sure how it works, but "course" is a synonym for bearing, and the Corsairs came from the south.

That and the yohoho thing. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Ah ! And air is also a synonym of "bearing", in another sense.

Must have not given too much clues...

and...

I hate you, "Tim"...

*deadpan* The thread is yours... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Ormal - one of the Lamps of the Valar, hence illumination. Also, it's "normal" (standard) without "N" (point).

QED. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

That's the ticket. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

You're up next, Master of Doom. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Dúnhere is our cavalry captain (of Rohan). The rest of the clue makes a play of his name sounding a bit like 'done here'.

Well done !

Thanks, old boy. Here's a simple one to ease me back in.

Eastern land is a character, you say?

Welcome back to this wonderful game, Laird of Dun Sóbrin! Your absence has been dearly felt - right, people?

*looks around, no reaction*

Oh, well. At least I tried. What? Oh, yeah. The answer.

Rhûn. Another word for character. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I thank thee for thy kind words.

That is, of course, the answer. Take it away, Nilpaurion.

Thanks, oh Wraith of Decline! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I've been thinking: if my hard cryptic clues are nothing to Saucepan(heck, he answered both of them), maybe an easy one will stump him. It would be a happy day if I could do that. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Cut the crap - give us your question!

OK, OK...

Danish brick note direction.

Teiglin ?

Wrong!
 

:)

Could it be Caradhras, the Redhorn?

Wrong again!
 

:p

Isn't a brick something like Baggins in danish?
