It had to have been pretty good. Do we know any specific feats that he accomplished?

Lindolirian · 02-13-2004, 06:21 PM

Well, you're on the wrong track. It wasn't exactly a good record. In fact, it was downright bad. It is clearly explained in one story that he shot x amount of times and only hit a low percentage of them. I'm basing my hypothetical question off of those specific shots.
HINT: He was a Man, and the shot(s) that did find their mark killed another Man.

Finwe · 02-13-2004, 06:39 PM

Oh... right.....

Well... I know that Avranc was the one who killed Manthor in the Rebellion of Brethil, and I believe that he shot a total of two arrows at him, so wouldn't the percentage be 50%? The second shot was the one that killed him.

Lindolirian · 02-13-2004, 06:44 PM

Ah, you are on the right track now, but your numbers are a bit off... very, very close though.

Finwe · 02-13-2004, 06:48 PM

Hmm... would it be 100%, since we don't know for sure if he shot that first arrow?

Lindolirian · 02-13-2004, 06:53 PM

Nope... If you can't find all of the instances of his shootings, check out Manthor's dying words at least. That should make it quite clear.

Finwe · 02-15-2004, 09:39 PM

25%?

Kath · 02-16-2004, 04:18 AM

30%

Gil-Galad · 02-16-2004, 09:57 AM

40-45%?

Lindolirian · 02-16-2004, 10:25 AM

C'mon folks... No random guessing. That won't get us anywhere. Please justify your answer.

Yet another thread falls to Saucepan's pruning shears.

Lindolirian, please could you start a new thread with your current question?

Thanks.

Lindolirian · 01-16-2006, 05:30 PM

Maedhros it was.

Gil-Galad · 01-17-2006, 12:11 PM

oh fun...hmmm...bah i'll get back to you with a question

Beleg · 01-30-2006, 09:23 AM

Gil-Galad · 01-30-2006, 12:42 PM

Beleg · 01-30-2006, 01:02 PM
