Gandalf then? He did battle them on Weathertop...

"Tricksey Saucepans" Indeed!
 

Uh...Bob and Nob? I've no clue if they are related or not, but I think so... :confused: Nob shouted at a Black Rider...sort of...just a guess...

Bob and Nob it is
 

Sirithheruwen has it.

They are related by employment, if nothing else. And you are right. I was thinking of Nob's challenge to the two Black Riders who were bending over a prone Merry. It never really occured to me until I set this question that Nob played such a significant role, preventing as he did Merry's almost certain capture, if not death.

So, the thread is yours Sirithheruwen. :)

Much thanks Saucepan! :)
Here's the next one:
Weary with a broken neck.

AND

Fresh in battle with a red axe.

Good luck! :)

Nain and Dain Ironfoot?

Yeah...and I thought that was somewhat hard! :rolleyes: Oh well...Your go, NightKnight!

Not too hard for me. ;)

Killed by dwarves because of their greed

and

Grandfather of he that turned back

Thingol and Celeborn?

Thingol is right, Celeborn isn't.

Could the other be Finwe, who was the grandfather of Turgon who turned back from the Nirnaeth?

Could have been, but it isn't. :D

Thingol and....Earendil? hint maybe?

Not Eärendil. HINT: The one who turned back was a noldor.

I'm thinking Turgon... and thingol

He that turned back. I'm thinking Finarfin, but he had no grandpapa. :)

Is Eärendil a Noldo? If so, Huor?

Or Dior?

Question: is the other guy pure noldor? or a mix like noldor/sindar or noldor/man or noldor/teleri?

*Smacks head into the wall many times* Nil, you're right! Finarfin had no grandfather. I was thinking about his children... Anyway, it shouldn't be too hard now...

Galadriel!!!

Galadriel can't be a grandfather, can she? :rolleyes:

yah my bad...

Finrod?

No. The person is the grandfather of the children of he that turned back.

Then it must be Finwe.

but Finwe is already said....Fingolfin maybe?


(keep in mind, your suppose to name the person who turned back's grandfather)

Both are wrong. And Gil-Galad, you're supposed to name the grandfather to the children of he that turned back. :p

Then it must be ...
 

Olwe, father of Finarfin's wife, Earwen.

Well, since both Fingolfin II and Saucepan Man had one right guess each, one of you should continue. But that's up to you two to decide.

Fingolfin can go.

Cheers Saucy, thanks for that.

Tormented twice; repented thrice; yet I did not endure the Grinding Ice.

Much love did the greatest of them all have for many things, though he loved his father best.

Maedhros & Feanor?

Yes. Maybe I should make it harder next time....

These aren't too hard either. The greatest callenge in these games isn't getting the answer right, it's making your own riddles.

A dark thief

Hidden evil in the bliss

The thievesss, the filthy little thievesss...

Anyway, Morgoth and Ungoliant?

Nope

Sauron and Maeglin?

Maeglin is correct. Sauron isn't.

Maeglin and Eol? Eol was a Dark Elf and 'stole' Aredhel, forcing her to wed him.

Eol is correct. Since Fingolfin II & NightKnight had one each, whoever is first can continue.

I'm blank....NightKnight can go.
