1. Geese? Spiders? Ponies?

2. Finrod was dead by this point.

3. How did she get into Gondolin? How did she get Turgon to agree?

4. Ever wondered why the good guys never actually tried this?

And Nerwen with the intelligent canonical approach. Please insert two quarters and try again, Urwen. I think we'd all love to hear a proper defense for Lalaith, and who better to give it than such a devoted fanchild? Dazzle us with some actual logic, if you please!

I'd hope not! By the time Urwen got back on the Downs and thought of a reply you'd likely be dead, just like Lalaith.

Hey, maybe then YOU could have an army of ducks....erm, geese!

Urwen has just left Hobbiton.
Tolkien

Lalaith was a happy child, and was compared to an Elven child by most people. Túrin loved his little sister, but "he played with her seldom, and liked better to guard her unseen and watch her going upon grass or under tree, as she sang such songs as the children of the Edain made long ago".[1]
But in the autumn of the year when Urwen was three, a pestilent wind, called the 'Evil Breath', came to Hithlum from Angband, and both Túrin and Lalaith were taken sick. Túrin recovered from the plague, but his sister died.

And why the plague came?

Because Maedhros was too rash.

Judge:You're guilty,Maedhros!You're guilty for murder of three year old girl.

Maedhros(lowers head):I am...

See? He himself admits it!

....Or she did too much singing underneath those darn trees, was out too much in the cold, caught hypothermia (although of course it was adorable hypothermia!) and died because she didn't have the common sense to wear a sweater. Kids!

(Yes, people, I am being facetious.)

And it wasn't Maedhros' fault he was rash. He probably caught it from another kid who didn't have the sense to go in from the cold and gave him some illness. I honestly feel bad for people like that, because he's being blamed for killing one child when clearly other people had to have died and he's missing out on all that limelight (which I'm sure he would thoroughly enjoy). People these days....


*waits for Nerwen's even more amusing response*

Ah, but Maedhros didn't even infect her. The bad guy got irritated at him and tried his hand at biological warfare, which indeed killed a bunch of people, including this one kid that Urwen's obsessed with. Really. That's what happened.

Afraid it wasn't that amusing this time. Sorry. You see, this ground is all too well-trodden. Whenever Urwen gets foiled with her current Goddess!Lalaith scenario, she attempts to go back and start all over again. It's tiring.

Now you're just putting words into the characters' mouths. You can't win that way.

Let me try it:

Lalaith: I am really Morgoth in disguise!

See?

And as for the rest of it– all you're doing is repeating your original argument. We've all explained to you why it doesn't hold water. Over and over and over again.

You've never managed to come up with a counter-argument– you just re-state the original a slightly different way, and hope no-one will notice.

One word: FAIL.
