rutslegolas 09-14-2004 12:39 AM

I think its A.

HerenIstarion 09-15-2004 03:50 AM

C++
 
It's C. Strider to Frodo in Bree:

Quote:

'Several things,' answered Strider. 'But, of course, I have my price.'
'What do you mean?' asked Frodo sharply.
'Don't be alarmed! I mean just this: I will tell you what I know, and give you some good advice - but I shall want a reward

HerenIstarion 09-24-2004 08:50 AM

What news from the West, Rangers of the Dreme?

HerenIstarion 09-30-2004 12:27 AM

having in mind 10 days rule, let me revive this with the new quote:
 
'It is likely enough

A. that he will be fit to arise tomorrow, for a short while
B. they will prove the deadliest foes of our foe.
C. yet I am not sure
D. but he makes many journeys and may be met in many places
E. you’ll pass a lot of time finding this one out
F. and yet as likely as not
G. but who would think of casting away the Ring of Power?

rutslegolas 09-30-2004 02:52 AM

Is it C??

HerenIstarion 09-30-2004 03:16 AM

I would be glad to confirm your guess if only you were so kind as to provide the cirmumstances and the speaker too :)

Sleepy Ranger 10-29-2004 11:23 AM

How things change...
 
Wow! It sure has quitened down at quotes... Time to begin the revival process.

Its C.
Said by Aragorn to Legolas & Gimli.

HerenIstarion 10-30-2004 01:28 AM

Go ahead :)

Evisse the Blue 01-04-2005 03:42 PM

It's been more than 10 days so...
 
Did I not say that:

A. I will come with you
B. I wished to speak to you
C. I hold your oath fulfilled
D. I do not like green eggs and ham
E. I would not have it so
F. if you should pass the doors of Moria, beware
G. before, but do you ever listen to me

HerenIstarion 01-05-2005 02:44 PM

F
 
Aragorn, to no one in particular, but allegedly to Gandalf who just perished, lamenting and complaining in his bereavement and loss.

Always makes me sob, even though I know Gandalf will come back later on...

HerenIstarion 01-05-2005 02:46 PM

I've played a fool
 
Cunningly done, Mistress - they are all alike

But I admitt my hastiness in replying, it is not F, it is B :)

Quote:

'Now!' said Gimli. 'Stop him, Legolas!'
'Did I not say that I wished to speak to you?' said the old man. 'Put away that bow, Master Elf!'
The bow and arrow fell from Legolas' hands, and his arms hung loose at his sides.
'And you, Master Dwarf, pray take your hand from your axe-haft, till I am up! You will not need
Old Man being Gandalf returned

cheers

Evisse the Blue 01-05-2005 02:57 PM

Correct indeed! I was hoping someone will fall for that trap *evil laugh* :p

HerenIstarion 01-05-2005 03:08 PM

I did. Or it was more like a stumble ;)

Next one:

Here's the passage

A. Lots-ss of tasty goblins-sses down there, lots-ss
B. But we durstn't go in, precious, no we durstn't
C. But you cannot pass
D. It was made by those who are Dead, and the Dead keep it, until the time comes. The way is shut
E. And Aragorn may pass
F. But right or wrong, we must take the other
G. I am tired of stairs and stone passages. I would give a good deal for the feel of grass at my toes.

Evisse the Blue 02-26-2005 07:24 AM

A guess...
 
Is it G?
If not a hint please. :D

HerenIstarion 02-26-2005 07:38 AM

No, not G

Hint: It is not in LoTR

Evisse the Blue 02-26-2005 07:42 AM

Then it's B (Gollum, in The Hobbit, chapter Riddles in the Dark).

HerenIstarion 02-26-2005 08:12 AM

You've got your man (hobbit? unidentified slimy creature?), lady :D

Evisse the Blue 02-27-2005 01:38 AM

Thanks! err...thanks a lot :D
 
Let us sit down

A. and have a bite to eat
B. and rest while we may
C. and be more at ease
D. for time has not yet come for action
E. and talk for a while
F. and then you can tell me your story
G. for we are weary with toil
H. here, near this harmless and friendly-looking willow tree.

paavo 02-27-2005 07:15 AM

B...g...b...g!
 
Could it be G? I have this feeling that it is Gimli who says it although it doesn't sound like something he would say... But I'll trust my instincts (wouldn't be the first time they are wrong) and say G.

Evisse the Blue 02-27-2005 11:58 AM

It's neither B nor G. :D

The Elf-warrior 02-27-2005 09:28 PM

I think it's F.

paavo 02-28-2005 10:14 AM

going to go with the instincts again...
 
It has to be E said by Faramir to Frodo and Sam. My sixth sense cannot be wrong! :rolleyes:

Evisse the Blue 02-28-2005 10:30 AM

It's E alright. But it's Gandalf to Aragorn and Gimli. :D However, it could also be Faramir to Frodo and Sam, I haven't checked.
In any case, you've got the right answer - thread is yours.

paavo 02-28-2005 12:33 PM

Wohoo! :)
 
A little finetuning and my sixth sense shall be unerring! :rolleyes: ;)
But to the business:

I seek the Paths of the Dead! Come with me

a. who dare.
b. who are not afraid of the dead.
c. Legolas and Gimli.
d. to the halls of the betrayers.
e. who will!
f. if your heart does not quail before the ghosts of Men.
h. if you will pass through hundreds of thousands of miniature skulls!

have fun! :)

Firefoot 02-28-2005 03:22 PM

Isn't that usually a sixth sense??
 
It's E. Said by Aragorn to Gimli and Legolas and the Dunedain (and others?).

paavo 03-01-2005 08:40 AM

Isn't sixth what I said? you should sleep more ;)
 
E it is. well done. :)

Firefoot 03-01-2005 03:11 PM

The latter part of that? Yeah, it's true.
 
;)

"You have doomed yourselves

A. to death in battle."
B. so will you not now listen to my counsel?"
C. yet not all is lost, maybe."
D. and you know it."
E. to a hopeless chase."
F. to trust to luck again."
G. either here or wherever the black tide overtakes you."
H. and fallen into folly."

paavo 03-02-2005 10:12 AM

I will go again with my sixth sense and say F. The speaker could be... Gandalf?

Evisse the Blue 03-15-2005 08:21 AM

Firefoot, you there? :)
If Paavo is not correct, I'll guess C.

Firefoot 03-15-2005 05:02 PM

Neither of those is correct.

Sorry for the delay - my posting in quotes threads is so sporadic I forget which threads I'm in... :rolleyes: ;)

Sleepy Ranger 04-05-2005 11:52 AM

Sleepys back
 
Do they still have the 10 day rule?

Quote:

The have gone
A. Up Into The Citadel
B. over the river
C. Past the mountain
D. To a place where none dare go
E. To buy new games for their PS2 of dooms.

Its E! Pick E!

paavo 04-05-2005 01:23 PM

C?
 
could it be Gandalf about Frodo and Sam, saying that they have disappeared from the reach of his eyes?

Sleepy Ranger 04-06-2005 06:53 AM

Nope
 
Maybe.
But your sig says maybe pretty much always means no, so no!
You'll have to try harder mate. :)

Firefoot 04-07-2005 02:45 PM

D?

Éowyn about Aragorn and co.?

Sleepy Ranger 04-07-2005 02:50 PM

Neigh, Neigh
 
....I meant Nay! Guess again if you will. But I say its E.

Sleepy Ranger 04-15-2005 09:40 AM

...
 
Come on people take a shot at it.

arcticstorm 04-30-2005 08:35 AM

Is it A?

Firefoot 04-30-2005 10:01 AM

What the heck.
 
B? Mayhap Aragorn to Gandalf about Frodo and Sam?

Sleepy Ranger 04-30-2005 12:30 PM

Well Yea,
 
It is A but who said it and to who.

Sleepy Ranger 05-06-2005 11:56 AM

The Power Of The Bump
 
Can't be that hard now that you have the whole quote...
