But do we know for certain that Elrond and Arvedui met?

See first post.)

It's not illegal, Nilp, just not recommended. That's why I asked if my way was too lazy– but Lommy's had Gandalf in it anyway. And you'll see that I had a Plan B that didn't use either of them.

yourself.

I checked before posting this and, while it's not implausible, I couldn't find any evidence that they had actually met. Same with Arvedui and Cirdan.

Still open.

Would

Lossoth Chief -> Arvedui -> Witch King -> Aragorn -> Imrahil -> Elphir

work? Not that I want to take the thread... my brain is a tad cooked when it comes to inspiration, at the moment.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 04-23-2009, 11:16 PM

I did put in Aranarth there. *pouts* Or is it too long with him in there?

That's the path I had! Your turn.

Was that one difficult? I had a devil of a time thinking that one up.

Ibrîniðilpathânezel · 04-24-2009, 08:21 AM

Well, as I said, my brain's a tad cooked, so the best I came up with is:

Ulmo -> Sam

Who are rather opposite types, given Sam's fear of water. When I thought of the more convoluted way, I realized there's a very short way as well. Drat.

Nerwen · 04-24-2009, 08:38 AM

Ulmo– Ossë– Círdan– Sam?

Ibrîniðilpathânezel · 04-24-2009, 06:01 PM

That's more or less the easy route. Ulmo -> Cirdan -> Sam (since we know that Ulmo spoke directly to Cirdan when he asked him to remain in ME, and Cirdan remained "deep in the counsels" of Ulmo and Osse). My original thought was a bit less direct, though you may certainly take the thread if you like.
