Verbal Reasoning! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I would say Helm's Deep, because Aragorn and the Rohirrim got rescued by Gandalf just as Frodo and the other Hobbits got bailed out of the Old Forest mess by Tom Bombadil.

fanghorn?

Nope, nope and nope.

Perhaps it should have been "Just out side of the Old Forest". That may be a clue for ye.

No one having a guess?

Okay, since nobody's posted for a long time, I'll just make a bunch of random associations. Tom Bombadil's house is right outside the Old Forest... the Barrow-downs are pretty close nearby... Brandy Hall is at the entrance to the Old Forest... am I getting close? PLEASE! I'm dying to know what this one is, give another clue!

Hookbill the Goomba · 05-25-2005, 09:26 AM

You're close. But not quite. Think of what happened BEFORE they entered the Old Forest.

The Paths of the Dead? Before Frodo enters the Old Forest, Fatty tells him he wishes he wasn't going in, and before Aragorn enters the Paths of the Dead he is told the same thing by Éomer and Théoden.
