Anguirel:

Out of such a list, I shall back Tuor and vote for the irritating talking animal, which betrays its true master

Wasn't Orome his original master? In that case I believe Huan follows the unspoken will of his true master by saving the innocent.

Though I must admit Huan's not a bad solution. Better than Melian anyway. The elves of Beleriand needs a wise maia with some powers to resist evil for some time. Melians girdle makes Doriath one of the safe houses right now, even if only invited guests are allowed (and some very special non-invited guests

)

Ang again:

Quote:

Telchar forged Angrist-but has probably given it to Curufin by now, so isn't much of a candidate

True, but if we vote for Curufin, Beren might never find the knife. This would lead to some danger as Beren would have to bring a sledge hammer or hacksaw to pinch the Silmaril from Morgoth's crown. But I know this would be fruitless, so I'm not even going to try.

No, I'm afraid I'll have to go bandwaggoning

++Huan

But he sure is a nice, cuddly pet with a great, noble heart...

Huan was a gift to Celegorm from Orome. A gift. If the haughty Vala still claims he is his master, then it is a proof of the niggardliness of the Valar!

Lalaith · 10-18-2005, 10:09 AM

Hmm...I don't really want to vote for Melian and am intrigued by prospects of a non-Huanish Silmaril-plucking; but on the other hand I don't think it's very good for young Anguirel to get his own way *all* the time. If Saucie were here I'm sure he'd have a plan.

Anguirel · 10-18-2005, 10:19 AM

In that case, Lalaith, 'fraid it's time for this-

--HUAN, ++MELIAN

Ostensibly to remove the restraining influence on Thingol, with a menacing undercurrent of "Vote for the doggy or the purty lady gets it!"

Votes

Melian-2
Huan-2

Alcarillo · 10-18-2005, 04:24 PM

But without Melian, there will be no girdle!

++Huan

The journey to Angband will be much harder, but as long as Luthien and Beren use their heads and stay out of trouble, they should make it there and back all in one piece (not counting Beren's hand).

Celuien · 10-18-2005, 05:21 PM

I really don't want to vote for Huan and I want to vote for Melian even less. So let's throw someone new into the mix...

++BARAHIR

...to make Beren the new outlaw leader. He won't have much time to wander around Doriath or to go on outlandish quests if we keep him busy with the outlaws. It should at least delay the marriage.

Eonwe · 10-18-2005, 05:27 PM

++HUAN

as much as this galls me, someone said something about the consequences of voteing him off, and they were good. so...

melian is a bad choice. we dont' even know (and i don't dare guess) waht thingol will cook up if left to his own devises. plus no girdle, thats' bad too.
