Helm Hammerhand

Estanesse · 02-26-2004, 08:45 AM

No right answer yet but Arvedui is warm,
Hint: Look at the numbers

BTW: I would like the reason, it makes it easier to give a hint.

Sleepy Ranger · 02-26-2004, 10:08 AM

The numbers? Lets see. 720. Hmm. Has to do with Rohirrim. So there'd be horses. Now lets see. A horse has 4 legs a man has 2. Now lets see, A horse for every man. A total of 6 legs. 120. So that would be 60 men 60 horses. Then 642 left the battleground. So that gives 107. 53.5 Men and horses so making it even I'd say 54 men 53 horses. Then 78 legs died. 13 died. so 6 men and 7 horses. Now what do I do? Am I on the right track? Do any of these numbers actually mean something?

Arvedui III · 02-26-2004, 12:28 PM

Ack! Too many big numbers! The legacy bit makes me think of Eomund, though.

luthien-elvenprincess · 02-27-2004, 07:09 AM

I am stuck...here is what I have so far.

Eomer said he lost 15 men and 12 horses in the battle with the orcs beside Fangorn forest. This loss totals 78 legs. Seven hundred and twenty minus 78 equals the 642 legs that Estanesse said left the battleground victorious.
I can't figure out the 720 exactly though...Legalas sees 105 riders of Rohan coming in the distance and it is mentioned that there are 3 horseless riders (which matches perfectly with the fact of 15 men and 12 horses lost in battle). But 105 riders and 3 riderless horses equals 702 legs instead of 720. Possible typo, Estanesse??? I am at a loss to account for the extra 18 legs.

I have spun the rest of the riddle in so many ways trying to figure it out...I am dizzy. Another hint, please!

I am also thinking that one of the songs about the Rangers said something about 'The lost who knows the way'. But, I can't find it. Does this sound familiar to anyone???

Estanesse · 02-27-2004, 11:41 AM

There is no typo error

.
120* 4= 480
120*2 = 240

equals 720

But I'm impressed good work. To find out who I'm isn’t so hard now

Finwe · 02-28-2004, 04:44 PM

Theoden?

Arvedui III · 02-28-2004, 05:15 PM

Gah! I can't find this number nonsense anywhere. Time to guess.

Umm...Erkenbrand? Or Hama, maybe?

Nirvana II · 02-28-2004, 07:14 PM

im gonna say Theodred

cause no one has said that yet

Nirvana II

Gil-Galad · 02-28-2004, 10:33 PM

<--------------*bing bing bing* i said Theodred, if you scroll up...

Nirvana II · 02-28-2004, 10:46 PM

i feel kinda dumb when i do that....and is it...Eomund?

luthien-elvenprincess · 02-29-2004, 08:40 AM

Ack...I also am reduced to merely guessing...Merry or Pippen. I am too embarrassed to explain my line of thinking to bring me to these guesses...it is probably way stupid!

Is it by any chance Hirgon?

Gil-Galad · 02-29-2004, 09:59 AM

Aragorn? because the lost who knows the way part was kidna like the Dead army of Dunharrow

Sorry, but I said Eomund as well, if you'll scroll up...

Herm...I don't know. Eowyn? The left behind bit struck me as being her, but the rest of it doesn't make sense.

No it has nothing to do with the Dead army of Dunharrow

Hint: I'm(

)not a member of the royal family

Gil-Galad · 02-29-2004, 08:20 PM

but which royal family are you refering to?

NightKnight · 03-01-2004, 01:01 AM

The rohirric royal family probably...I think I know the answer, and I have known it all the time. I just don't wanna ask a new question here.

Yes rohirric is the correct answer, almost

. But your right I'm referring to the rohirric royal family.

Gil-Galad · 03-01-2004, 05:00 PM

Something makes me think Grimbold

Estanesse · 03-02-2004, 07:16 AM

That makes sense but I have someone else in mind.

Hint: Number 105, 120, 15, 12

Finwe · 03-02-2004, 09:35 AM

Elfhelm, was it?

Estanesse · 03-02-2004, 10:10 AM

Nope

luthien-elvenprincess · 03-02-2004, 05:27 PM

Garulf?

symestreem · 03-03-2004, 03:02 PM

Is it Gimli? The left behind in darkness part reminds me of Gimli's "an elf will go underground where a dwarf will not?"

Estanesse · 03-03-2004, 03:41 PM

Garulf is my name.

NightKnight · 03-03-2004, 04:31 PM

It took you people very long...I took it when I first saw it.

luthien-elvenprincess · 03-03-2004, 04:44 PM

Wow, that was a tough one! Garulf was one of the 12 men who died and therefore was 'left behind in darkness' his horse was given to Aragorn (who was in need of speed).

My turn:
An answer for Yavanna,
For a short, no glossal gift.
Blossoms and bluegrass became my forte
Perchance, I'm shopping for a lotion to assuage my arid periderm?

Gil-Galad · 03-03-2004, 07:14 PM

I'm out... too many big words.... hard to understand... head hurts... wrestling is painful... who knew snow was cold?

Finwe · 03-03-2004, 09:55 PM

Ents? Treebeard? Entwives?

rutslegolas · 03-04-2004, 08:45 AM

celeborn

its just a guess and maybe far off target

luthien-elvenprincess · 03-04-2004, 03:24 PM

Finwe, you are correct with the Entwives.

My husband thinks that when I go to the mall, that I may never come home, cuz I take so long (just his ridiculous little opinion

). Therefore, I always wonder if the missing entwives just got lost at the mall shopping for lotion (since their skin/bark was so rough).

Oh well... anyway.... your turn..

Finwe · 03-04-2004, 05:26 PM

Ahhhh... riiiiight...

Swift are we,
Silent are we,
Scary are we,
Faithless are we.

Gil-Galad · 03-04-2004, 05:28 PM

The Dead men of Dunharrow? that would seem the obvious anwser no?

The Perky Ent · 03-04-2004, 05:29 PM

Um...i don't know. How about...um....how about the undead from the paths of the dead that aragorn summoned?

Gil-Galad · 03-04-2004, 05:32 PM

sorry perky ent, i got to the same anwser first

Sleepy Ranger · 03-04-2004, 05:33 PM

Thats waht Gil-galad said.
Anyway is it The Nazgul?

Gil-Galad · 03-04-2004, 05:35 PM

You would think the NAzgul would be faithful to Sauron?

Sleepy Ranger · 03-04-2004, 06:00 PM

Please people no mor off-topic posts. And wouldn't it be wise to delete our posts ere some big evil cruel overload comes and crushes us?

The Perky Ent · 03-04-2004, 06:04 PM

There! I deleted all my bickering posts! Happy?
