Rimbaud · 11-27-2004, 11:53 AM

Either a nasty battle, or the Beleriand Santa's present-bag, The Sack of Nargothrond, I believe.

Firefoot · 11-27-2004, 12:20 PM

Aye, that it is.

Rimbaud · 11-28-2004, 05:08 AM

As the lecher spied the fair maid, quoth he:

Arr, dig Sandy!

Rimbaud · 12-03-2004, 05:01 AM

It ain't hard, quizzers.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-06-2004, 09:45 PM

I've been trying a lot of word combinations: Dagnir something, Day something, Dry something, Dain something, something Ring, something Arda . . . but none would yield an answer.

Rimbaud · 12-07-2004, 05:47 AM

It is hard. Particularly when you are not given the toosl you need. As in, I have missed out an 'e'. Oh shush, it happens to the best of us.

So the new clue is 'Dig Andy's rear', or 'Dig Randy's ear', whichever you prefer.

Apologies for the missed 'e'.

Fingolfin II · 12-07-2004, 04:38 PM

Ah! Could it be Daisy Gardner?

Rimbaud · 12-08-2004, 06:27 AM

Indeed, the floor is yours!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-09-2004, 09:50 PM

Fin2, new puzzle needed!

Fingolfin II · 12-10-2004, 05:11 AM

Try this:

I....I...nude lids?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-10-2004, 11:09 PM

Your puzzle doesn't have the letter "R"!

I read in a recently published article that 100% of those who daydream about Éowyn get horribly mangled by a certain Faramir.

But of course, you don't care. You can take him on.

Fingolfin II · 12-10-2004, 11:43 PM

I think you're right, Nil....on both counts....

I'll leave the first one up just in case anyone wants to solve it for fun (yeah right).

Bag Mir? Lor', u goth!
(Mixture of German, English and Random )

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-12-2004, 09:51 PM

Have you read the rules?

Morgoth Bauglir does not start with an R, which was the last letter of the previous puzzle.

Fingolfin II · 12-12-2004, 09:55 PM

I thought I did....but then I looked back just then and saw I hadn't read them properly. Sorry about that. I tried to PM you because I saw you were replying to the thread, but it didn't get to you. My mistake

. Nil, please continue this thread with something starting with the letter 'R' from Rimbaud's previous puzzle. Thanks.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-12-2004, 10:12 PM

This is the best gift anyone has ever given me--well, except that humongous Lego set.

And in time for the holidays, too!

Have you read The Daily Dale? The headline says:

Ghost Bard want ear.

I think Bard's just jealous of Helm's haunting.

EDITED. An extra letter.

luthien-elvenprincess · 12-13-2004, 07:56 AM

Radagast the Brown

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-13-2004, 09:01 PM

The next puzzle is thine, luthien-elvenprincess.

luthien-elvenprincess · 12-14-2004, 05:10 AM

Thanks Nil-boy

After a painful bunionectomy, SHE LIMP ON...

Rimbaud · 12-14-2004, 05:24 AM

...the great pearl named Nimphelos.

luthien-elvenprincess · 12-15-2004, 04:25 AM

And a golden star is awarded to Rimbaud

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-03-2005, 09:46 PM

(or Fluffy-Buns

)

New puzzle needed!

Rimbaud · 01-10-2005, 06:50 AM

When one of the Twelve cooked a lovely meal, the others exclaimed, all Mockney-like:

See, Magi was gem!

Fingolfin II · 01-10-2005, 04:22 PM

Samwise Gamgee?

Rimbaud · 01-11-2005, 03:56 AM

Of course, and the floor is yours.

Fingolfin II · 01-11-2005, 04:23 AM

Cheers,

Below- what one rodent said to another on the topic of romance:

Rat A: I rue luv

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-12-2005, 06:32 PM

Eru Ilúvatar.

Fingolfin II · 01-12-2005, 09:35 PM

Correct

.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-13-2005, 09:58 PM

I found this manuscript somewhere in the English Channel.

'Of course, it is likely enough, my friends,' he said slowly, 'likely enough that we are going out to our doom: the last

March o' Mares.

Fingolfin II · 01-13-2005, 11:38 PM

The great wall of Ch-...I mean...Gondor; Rammas Echor.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-13-2005, 11:49 PM

I just wonder: could Rammas Echor be seen by Tilion?

Fingolfin II · 01-14-2005, 04:00 AM

Hmm......it may possibly be visible to Arien or Tilion. Or it may not

.

Unfortunately, the Gaffer has a strong sailors' accent and has to clarify what he's singing about- 'I sing th' warr!'.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-16-2005, 07:07 PM

. . . he got the accent from talking to Ringwraiths.

Fingolfin II · 01-16-2005, 07:48 PM

Aye, that he did.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-16-2005, 08:23 PM

A word of warning to those who enter the underwater forest of Taur-nu-fuin:

D bark and crabs c you.

Fingolfin II · 01-16-2005, 09:43 PM

Doesn't sound like a place Saradoc Brandybuck would be keen on entering. His son on the other hand.....

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-17-2005, 12:35 AM

And, you have said, that beer-and-pipeweed-besotted son of his would.

Present the next puzzle.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-21-2005, 12:07 AM

Poken thee I have, O Fingolfin II. Presentest thou thy next puzzle, or I will bear thee away to some place where all they play is elevator music.

Fingolfin II · 01-21-2005, 02:10 AM

Anyway.....

What Sandyman can do after he retires-

Laying skin.

Too easy

.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 01-21-2005, 02:35 AM

Don't think even Sandyman's sunk this low, although the Noldor have...

Kinslaying

Fingolfin II · 01-21-2005, 02:52 AM

Yep
