A. and we should repay it
B. and it's approaching fast
C. and follows us hard
D. and it is on our trail

HerenIstarion 09-06-2006 04:34 AM

I suppose that must have been said by someone in Theoden's host (probably Aragorn) about Halbarad's company of rangers following Theoden's company. That is, it's C

Sleepy Ranger 09-06-2006 04:40 AM

I'm quite certain you've got the speaker down but I'm also rather certain it wasn't about Halbarad. Ah well, we'll wait for Evisse.

Evisse the Blue 09-06-2006 12:52 PM

Yep, it is Aragorn to Theoden. Sleepy was right as well, though, it's not about Halbarad, it's about the host of orcs.

Your thread, HI. :)

Evisse the Blue 10-22-2006 02:16 AM

Is it B? :o

HerenIstarion 10-24-2006 09:30 AM

Yes it is, spot on :)

Evisse the Blue 10-25-2006 02:21 PM

It was a guess by elimination. ;]

Hint: it's spoken at the first meeting of two who would become great friends

Guinevere 01-20-2011 02:28 PM

It is C:

"I thank you for your fair words," said Aragorn, "and my heart desires to come with you; but I cannot desert my friends while hope remains."

spoken to Eomer in "The Riders of Rohan"

I think this remained unsolved for so long not because it was too difficult, but because nobody wanted to go to the trouble of contriving a new riddle...;)

Evisse the Blue 01-21-2011 12:59 AM

Haha maybe.
I guess this isn't a popular game...

But since you bravely took it upon yourself to answer, now it's your turn : ]

Galadriel55 01-22-2011 09:42 AM

I think it's C, just because it sounds familiar that way...
Oh, wait, that was Turin talking to Mablung! Wasn't it?

Guinevere 01-22-2011 01:54 PM

Quite right, Galadriel55, well done!:)

Hint: It's from the Silmarillion.

Galadriel55 02-12-2011 09:00 AM

I'm guessing - D. Sounds like something Beor's people said to Finrod.

Evisse the Blue 02-12-2011 10:19 AM

Hurrah
 
Yes!

Galadriel55 02-12-2011 07:42 PM
