"R"s, please.

THE SON (No Y)

"He / st--s /. The / ho-- / -s / --on / -s /. St---e / -ee- /, -o- / t-o / --st / st---e / no- / -o- / th-ee /!"

There has to be a few R's.

HE'S TORN (No Y)

"He / st-rs /. The / ho-r / -s / --on / -s /. Str--e / -ee- /, -or / t-o / --st / str--e / no- / -or / three /!"


Come on, guys! There are only 8 different letters left unguessed, you have to get this quote soon.

Hint: it's from the First Age. Said by a very controversial character.

I'm pretty sure that I know the second sentence, but the rest eludes me. As such, I shall guess U

"u"s, please.

"i"s, please.

HE'S TORN IU (No Y)

"He / stirs /. The / hour / is / u-on / us /. Stri-e / -ee- /, -or / t-o / -ust / stri-e / no- / -or / three /!"

"He stirs. The hour is upon us. Strike deep, for two must strike now for three."

By process of working out the quote and then Google it is Turin as they're hunting Glaurung.

That's the one, Kath! The floor is yours!

No wonder I couldn't get it. The Children of Hurin, I'm guessing? :(

Sorry for the delay - sorting out werewolf!

E's please!


Amazing book it is. Read it you should, if the chance you have.

Well... I think it's amazing but there are those who disagree... and many who are in the "grey area"...

PS: nice new avvie! I like it!

A's, please

"i"s, please.

How about R?

I liked it, I don't own it. I had to check it out of the city library, but I don't have it to refer to, usually.

Oh, and N's

Hey Kathkins, wake up.

I want U.

by the time you post, kath, we'll be able to guess from the sheer amount of letters!

"w"s?

AIERNU - no W

"A n - - - i n -/ - r - -/ - - - - - -/ - -/ - - i - - n e -/ - i - -. - - i n -/ - -/ - - - e - - i n -/ - - e e r - u -!"

Sorry for the delay! Must have been away from the 'Downs when you all posted letters and then it wasn't in the Active Topics section.

What? So after all these letters have been posted, there are still such huge gaps with no letters in them? Unbelievable.

I can figure out some words, but not the quote...

How about some T?

O's, please.

Hm, this must be something obscure... I can figure out everything but words #3, 5 and 6, yet I have no idea where it might be. :confused:

How about S?

AIERNUTOS - no W

"A n - t - i n -/ - r o -/ - - o o - s/ t o/ - o i s o n e -/ - i s -. T - i n -/ o -/ s o - e t - i n -/ - - e e r - u -!"

I also can't locate this one... sounds like it could be said in a few dozen different places.

F?

AIERNUTOSF - no W

"A n - t - i n -/ f r o -/ f - o o - s/ t o/ - o i s o n e -/ f i s -. T - i n -/ o f/ s o - e t - i n -/ - - e e r f u -!"

Aaaaah! Of course, now I know, it is what the Lake-Towners tell to Bard! This was really in no way an obvious quote. But great! :) Do you have some close personal relationship to this, Kath? Or was it just a random choice?

"Anything from floods to poisoned fish. Think of something cheerful!"

Haha I thought the F would help! Well done Legate! It was a totally random choice - I was flicking and liked the quote. :D

Thanks :) Here is something new and nice I have found for you people. :)

"--/--/---/------/--/----/----/--/----/---/----/------/------?"

Asking for E's

You seriously think "E" will help you every time? :smokin:

"--/--/--e/------/--/----/----/--/----/--e/-e--/-e---e/----e-?"

Yes, unless you're an orc and you're saying "Ugluk u bagronk sha pushdug Saruman-glob bubhosh skai". I have been searching for many months now, and that's the only phrase of decent length with no E's.

And since my favourite letter is taken already, I will ask for A's.

And I will ask for T.

TEA (again)

"--/-t/t-e/---t--/--/----/-a--/t-/-a--/t-e/-ea-/-e---e/----e-?"

R's please!

N please. :)

TAN(N)ER

(...wrapped in leat)H(er) please.

Any O's please?
