I'm going to give it to you, because you're so close that if I didn't accept it I'd be nitpicking.

Mablung fell before the doors of Thingol's treasury.
Haleth fell before the doors of Meduseld.
Denethor's servants (not the porter) fell before the door of the House of Stewards.
Saruman and Wormtongue fell before the door of Bag End.

No one fell before the "door" of Osgiliath because Osgiliath, being a city and not a room or building, would have gates not doors. (It's not even walled, is it?)

*pats thread fondly and walks away* The thread is yours, NightKnight.

Foiled again!

NightKnight · 03-20-2004, 04:09 AM

Then get this one, Nil.

Formenos
Angband
Gondolin
Nargothrond
Tol-in-Gaurhoth

Hmm....would it be Angbad?

Formenos - Morgoth invaded and took the simarils
Gondolin - Morgoth's servants discovered and invaded
Nargothrond - Morgoth sent Glaurung to invade the stronghold
Tol-in-Gaurhoth - Sauron invaded and captured the Isle

Therefore, Angbad is the OPO because it was the only place that wasn't invaded by forces of evil!

That's wrong.

The Perky Ent · 03-21-2004, 08:46 AM

NK, Am i wrong in the sense that my info is wrong, or wrong, but my info is right?

NightKnight · 03-21-2004, 09:58 AM

Your info is right, but your answer is not.
