D. Sauron

But even that isn't really logical. Gandalf feared a trial would come between the himself and Sauron, and he was not sure that he was ready for such a test. To say Gandalf was "afraid" of anything wouldn't really be a true statement. He was more fearful of testing himself.

Quote:
But Olórin declared that he was too weak for such a task, and that he feared Sauron. Then Manwë said that that was all the more reason why he should go, and that he commanded Olórin (illegible words follow that seems to contain word "third"). But at that Varda looked up and said: "Not as the third;" and Curumo remembered it.

Im not sure what you're looking for Gil-galad, but I think these are the lines concerning Gandalfs fear, that the others are refereing to.


I think its safe to say that Gandalfs greatest fear was Sauron - in regard to Smaug, his fear was what Sauron could use the dragon for.

This one is getting far too idiotic for me! I think Gil should give his answer (and explain it!!!) Then he can post a new question.

OK - New question:

Which of these should post the next question?

A: NightKnight - for giving - Gil-galads answer, but for another reason than Gil-galads?

B: Beren87 - for comming with an IMO much better answer - which he argued for?

C: Morgoth Bauglir - for backing up Beren87s fine answer?

D: Estanesse - for giving the IMO better answer + the reason Gil-galad was looking for?

E: NightKnight - For crying? Which I can understand [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

F: Telchar - for finding references in the books, but refusing to give the answer Gil-galad was looking for, because the answer was wain.

G: Saucepan Man - for trying to stop the nonsense?

Please wote! whoever has more wotes when I wake up on december 1, can ask the next question.

OK, let's see if we can carry on this game without any further antagonisation.

I suggest that NightKnight asks the next question, as he was the one who actually got the answer right.

If this thread continues in its current vein, I'm going to close it. So, let's just wait for NightKnight to ask the next question, shall we?

C) Ringare, was never a name of Aragorn. It is the Quenya name for the month which corresponds to December.
