The Perky Ent 07-30-2004 10:51 AM

Nope. Morgoth it is not.

Morsul the Dark 07-30-2004 10:56 AM

The Perky Ent 07-30-2004 10:58 AM

No, it's not Saruman! And by the way, what's with the legend of zelda guy? http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/...nktriforce.gif

Morsul the Dark 07-30-2004 11:02 AM

The Perky Ent 07-30-2004 11:08 AM

Morsul the Dark 07-30-2004 03:51 PM

troll?

Gil-Galad 07-30-2004 11:24 PM

Gothmog, Lt of Minas Morgul...maybe even Gothmog lord of Balrogs

The Perky Ent 07-31-2004 10:47 AM

Gil-Galad got it. But, can you explain it?

Gil-Galad 07-31-2004 10:51 AM

umm which one is it? Gothmog Lt or Gothmog Lord?

The Perky Ent 07-31-2004 10:52 AM

You tell me! You got it right, so now tell me why!

Gil-Galad 07-31-2004 11:01 AM

this one here is for Gothmog LT


Faced the noble-Faced Gondorians
killed the rescuer-killed some of the Rohirrim
Killed the vain-killed his own kind
and retreated into darkness-was thought to be a dark Numernorean
guarded by stone
and weilded a dwarfs favor
My kin saved the light-Numenoreans were allies of the Elves and enemies of evil people
and retreated from it-Served Sauron
Killed by the one born twice more
I ruled with a firm grip-he was second in charge of hte attack on Minas Tirith

The Perky Ent 07-31-2004 11:09 AM

I've got two problems with that: 1, There's some gaps, and 2, the correct answer was Gothmog the Balrog. So, please explain the Gothmog the balrog!

Gil-Galad 07-31-2004 11:17 AM

rightio!

Faced the noble-Faced Feanor and others...
killed the rescuer-Killed Fingon who rescued Maedrhos? and probaly some others...
Killed the vain-Killed the Men of Dor-Lomin...
and retreated into darkness-Hid in Angband when Melkor was captured
guarded by stone-7o troll Guards that turn to stone at light
and weilded a dwarfs favor- being of fire...dwarfs good with fire?
My kin saved the light- he was a fallen Avari
and retreated from it- ran away when Valar came?
Killed by the one born twice more-killed by Echthelion
I ruled with a firm grip-He was Lord of the Balrogs...very powerful

The Perky Ent 07-31-2004 11:20 AM

You got it. But before I give it to you, just a few corrections. 1, when I said killed the vain, I was refering to Feanor. Then, he weilded an ax, which is a dwarf's favorite weapon. Finally, when I said my kin saved the light, I am refering to Balrogs saving Morgoth and the Simarils from Ungoliant. Sorry for the corrections, but I just wanted to get it all out. Anyways, its your turn!

Gil-Galad 07-31-2004 11:23 AM

meh close enough...


i'll get back to you on the next question

The Perky Ent 07-31-2004 11:25 AM

No rush. Take your time. The more thought out, the better!

Evisse the Blue 08-08-2004 12:19 PM

Gil-galad, I'd say your time is up :D Give us the next one!

Gil-Galad 08-08-2004 12:26 PM

ha forgot about it...


two people that served the "god" not much is spoken about us though, just our names and our heritage

paavo 08-08-2004 12:44 PM

hmm... this seems again a bit too easy... :)
the blue wizards, Alatar and Pallando

Gil-Galad 08-08-2004 12:49 PM

well its not seeing how you got it wrong

Fingolfin II 08-08-2004 04:46 PM

This is probably a long shot, but.....Uldor and Ulfast?

The Perky Ent 08-08-2004 05:09 PM

Another long shot: Elladan and Elrohir?

Gil-Galad 08-08-2004 05:09 PM

close but no...i also wouldn't mind some explanations

Gil-Galad 08-08-2004 05:10 PM

Fingolfins guess was closer

The Perky Ent 08-16-2004 03:20 PM

Azog and Bolg?

RadomRadagast 09-10-2004 01:57 PM

Lol
 
hum how about Merry and Pippin *falls over laughing at her stupidity* :D

Gil-Galad 09-10-2004 04:03 PM

nope, hint they were mono-evil

The Perky Ent 09-10-2004 04:08 PM

Uh...gollum and Smeagol?

Gil-Galad 09-10-2004 04:18 PM

before them...

The Perky Ent 09-10-2004 04:19 PM

Isildur and Sauron?

Gil-Galad 09-10-2004 04:22 PM

Around there time...

nobody 12-04-2004 11:36 AM

is it too late to guess?
 
Herumor and Fuinur?

Gil-Galad 12-04-2004 12:02 PM

well you got it right, it was Herumor and Furinur, good job

nobody 12-04-2004 12:22 PM

I'll try
 
This is....a mediocre riddle
Victims of the potent wrath of the one who served
he who was once dear to the heart of Amān,
only one out of the same number as the elf-banes survived,
to bring hope to the lost quest of a man.

(BTW the circumflex thing above the a is meant to be there ).

Gil-Galad 12-04-2004 05:13 PM

second one is Elrond... i think
