The One Object To Rule Them All! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Bom Tombadillo · 03-28-2011, 04:01 PM

Hmmmm. I like the idea of having, well, just about anything suggested so far . . . but for the sake of originality, I'll say the One Ring. Unless its corrupting powers still work here (

!), in which case I would say . . . an actual copy of the Red Book of Westmarch! Ooh, that'd be better than the Ring anyway. Set right what Tolkien got wrong, and all that.

Or, wait, what about a crate of Morgul-blades? Would that work? I mean, technically it's more than one object, but so is, say, a pair of hobbit-shoes. Plus, I could stab all my least favorite people with them and turn them into my wraith-slaves . . . or just hang them up on my wall (the blades, not the people!)

Or maybe Legolas' bow? Along with the Infinite Quiver (TM) from the movies, of course. Hmm, perhaps the Arkenstone - though preferably without the angry Thorin threatening to throw me over a cliff.

Too . . . many . . . things!

How about... A shipload of all kinds of goods?

Ooooh. I actually thought of that, but rejected it on the basis that I wasn't even too sure that my crate of Morgul-blades would be permitted, much less something on that level.

Well, the thread kind of looses the point if everyone just takes everything.

I'm OK with you taking out Morgul blades (as long as I'm not on your need-to-stab list), but Elessar will probably insist on checking your identity if he'd see you carrying it in Gondor...

You know, that's great, but the issue would be that a ship wouldn't fit in my house

Neither would all those things. How depressing.

Maybe you need a houseboat.

Well, you don't need all these things. Who would want a hundred thousand copies of orc armour?

Probably Sauron. You know, for his minions

But surely you're not taking him with you? Or we'll have another Numenor on our hands!

But I guess he would want that armour...

I pictured him as a plush doll when you said that
