Bravo, Saucepan man, you are correct as usual. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Uh oh, now you have the chance to bring forth the MOST devious of all your riddles! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] Well, I'm ready! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-29-2003, 09:00 AM

Well, thank you. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Devious, eh. Well, I'll try. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Many names was I called
This one by those
Under my command
Not one that I chose

But I'm too hasty
All in a muddle
This unlocks
To answer this puzzle

Annunfuiniel · 03-29-2003, 09:16 AM

Well isn't it the good o' Sharkey (aka Saruman which name he probably prefers)! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

"But I'm too hasty
All in a muddle" >> mix up Shar- and you get rash.
"This unlocks" >> -key! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-29-2003, 09:43 AM

Wow, that was quick, Annunfuiniel. So much for devious. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Your turn again ... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 04-02-2003, 12:47 AM

Oh thank you, Saucepan, I liked that one! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
But sorry to inform you that I can't spare any time for these forums at the moment [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] so anyone who's interested can take my turn.

Gil-Galad · 04-02-2003, 05:21 PM

i guess i will

I fought aganest the betraying one, you know the man of skill, but i was defeated so i headed back to my old kings fortress in the deep and where with help of men, elves and dwarf we suceeded in winning the battle for our allies needed our help since they gave us the land we now stand on

~~OR~~
I have to live with myself, and so
I want to be fit for myself to know
I want to be able as days go by
Always to look myself straight in the eye;
i don't want to stand, with the setting sun
And hate myself for things i have done.
I don't want to keep on a shelf
A lot of secrets about myself
And fool myself, as i come and go
into thinking nobody else will know
the kind of man i really am;
I don't want to dress myself up in sham.
i want to go out with my head erect
i want to deserve all man's respect
And here in the struggle for fame and wealth,
i want to be able to like myself
i don't want to look at myself and know,
that i am a bluffer, an empty show
i can never hide myself from me
i see what others may never see
i know what others may never know

who am I?

lathspell · 04-03-2003, 03:08 PM

hmmm... I think Eomer
or Eowyn
dunno which one for sure :s

Gil-Galad · 04-03-2003, 05:57 PM

nope but your close

Firondoiel · 04-03-2003, 08:38 PM

Hmmm...is it King Theoden?

[ April 03, 2003: Message edited by: Firondoiel ]

the real findorfin · 04-04-2003, 08:26 AM

Gamling maybe, or possibly Grima (because of the secrets bit), but he didn't fight in the Battle of the Hornburg.

Gil-Galad · 04-04-2003, 04:41 PM

i put two tehre so you can choose which either put plz tell me and all you are so close

Hint: in the two poems/proses, they are in the same age! and they fought together!

[ April 04, 2003: Message edited by: Gil-Galad ]

Gil-Galad · 04-05-2003, 10:04 AM

need another hint?

Manardariel · 04-05-2003, 10:13 AM

The first one could be Theoden or Eomer, or maybe Hama.
The second one is surely Eowyn, isn´t it? But Faramir also comes to my mind...

Gil-Galad · 04-05-2003, 10:35 AM

nope, your close on yoru first guess but second one your kinda off

Hint: there both male
Hint: Erect!!!

[ April 05, 2003: Message edited by: Gil-Galad ]

aragornreborn · 04-05-2003, 03:20 PM

Theoden and Grima?

Gil-Galad · 04-05-2003, 04:43 PM

some body already sadi Theoden and Grima and i said close but no cigar!

elven maiden Earwen · 04-05-2003, 10:53 PM

Aragorn for the 2nd?????? [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 04-05-2003, 11:00 PM

Quote:

Theoden or Eomer, or maybe Hama.

Who else was even important in the battle of Helm's Deep (or of Pellanor Fields) that is close to those three?? Those are pretty much the only important Rohirrim I would think. You've really stumped us!

Tar-Palantir · 04-06-2003, 01:06 AM

Erkenbrand. Don't know about a second one though, maybe Theodred?

Gil-Galad · 04-06-2003, 08:50 AM

sorry Tar, Earwen got it first so she can go

but you were right Tar with first Erkenbrand, but Earwen did anwser first

[ April 06, 2003: Message edited by: Gil-Galad ]

elven maiden Earwen · 04-06-2003, 08:24 PM

ok
maiden i am
name means of the sea
had many children but one was female
who is mentioned a lot in frodo's tale
who am I?

Rochelle · 04-06-2003, 09:28 PM

Hmmm possibly Earwen?

elven maiden Earwen · 04-06-2003, 09:34 PM

of course i had to do it. your up

Rochelle · 04-06-2003, 10:14 PM

alrighty here goes...

I have a thirst that will remain unquenched
and although years pass I am still reminded
Only nine remain
yet I am alone

Beren87 · 04-06-2003, 10:20 PM

The Witch-King of Angmar?

Rochelle · 04-07-2003, 07:57 AM

nope it's not him

elven maiden Earwen · 04-07-2003, 08:01 AM

sauron, or the one ring

Rochelle · 04-07-2003, 04:03 PM

Nope, not those either.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-07-2003, 04:11 PM

Shelob perhaps? Thirsty and lives near the city of the Nine...

Rochelle · 04-07-2003, 04:15 PM

that's a nice reasoning...but for a hint:

the nine does not refer to what you suspect, and thirst is a metaphor [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Gil-Galad · 04-08-2003, 07:09 AM

i am gonna take a super wild guess Melkor?

Rochelle · 04-08-2003, 10:55 AM

No it isn't Melkor either.

::HINT: This characters appearance is made in the Lord of the Rings as part of the present, not past.::

aragornreborn · 04-08-2003, 04:38 PM

Frodo?

Rochelle · 04-08-2003, 05:29 PM

Yes! Frodo it was [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I have a thirst that will remain unquenched
He will always long for the ring
and although years pass I am still reminded
His wound flares up on it's "birthday"
Only nine remain
Nine fingers
yet I am alone
Sam had Rosie, Merry & Pippin, Aragorn & Arwen, Legolas & Gimli...

aragornreborn · 04-08-2003, 05:32 PM

All right! I win! Sorry, lol, it's my first time. Well, I'll get right on my question.

[ April 08, 2003: Message edited by: aragornreborn ]

aragornreborn · 04-08-2003, 05:41 PM

I hope for hope.
I die to live.
Am I young or am I old?
It matters not, for I have found
treasure beyond bound

Well, there you go. Sorry if it's vague. But, as my luck would have it, someone will get it right off.

alquadae · 04-09-2003, 04:22 AM

quendi?

aragornreborn · 04-09-2003, 08:11 AM

No.

I have no idea who that even is, and after
looking it over I realize my question is incredibly vague. So, as a hint, the character is from Lord of the Rings. Well, the person could be mentioned in the other tales as well (I'm no expert on them), but the person IS in LOTR.

Oh, and all of those lines should not be taken literally. They may be symbolic or hinting at the truth, of course - poetic license.

My goodness! I just looked over it again. And it is impossible to figure out unless you happen to stumble upon my exact thought process. OK, the character is NOT a minor character in LOTR. That should help narrow the field.

frodo, Bilbo, or Aragorn???

Manardariel · 04-09-2003, 08:52 AM

Arwen?

I hope for hope. Hope= Aragorn, aka Estel (elvish for Hope)
I die to live. gave up immortal life, to live a life worth living at Aragorn´s side
Am I young or am I old? you can´t tell because she´s elven
It matters not, for I have found
treasure beyond bound the treasure is love

Or maybe Gandalf???
