. . . but I hope this would help someone who has.

I think the only non-Ainur link to Ossë is Tuor. Other than that, I'm befuddled.

Lindolirian · 12-19-2004, 02:48 PM

Well, I posted this a few days ago and since then, I've had major leg surgery and been knocked by narcotics quite frequently. If that doesn't wreak havoc on your short term memory, nothing will

. However, I have run it over in my mind and have come up with something that works, though it may not be my original solution. Once again, I'm not too sure of how fuzzy my logic may still be and if I find it to be wrong when I am of more sound mind, I'll come back and throw this thread in the air. But for right now, I'll tell you that Osse had more friends than Ainu and Tuor

.

Lindolirian · 12-29-2004, 02:16 PM

Riiight... So now that I'm mostly back to being human, I've gone over this and the best thing I've come up with is:
Orophin-> Arwen-> _____-> ______-> _______*-> Ossë
*This one's a mariner...

Hope this helps!

Celebriel Esgaledhel · 12-30-2004, 01:24 PM

hmmmm......

WOuld the blanks be Elrond, Earendil, and Tuor? (Arwen, daughter of Elrond, Son of Earendil, son of Tuor, who was given a message by Ulmo...... *shrug*)

Lindolirian · 12-31-2004, 01:54 PM

Well that would work, except for the Ulmo link which is void because of my "no Ainur" rule. Sorry...

This one may be too hard, so hints: The mariner never actually knew Ossë, but complained about being subject to his wrath.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-02-2005, 09:53 PM

Orophin -> Arwen -> Elrond -> Eärendil -> Voronwë -> Ossë

Lindolirian · 01-03-2005, 08:45 PM

He's the key; way to go Nil!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-03-2005, 09:43 PM

Voronwë -> Boromir of the Fellowship

No half-elfs, Gondolindrim, or Sindar.

Lindolirian · 01-04-2005, 08:55 PM

Voronwë-> (Ossë)-> Ulmo-> Finrod Felagund-> Galadriel-> Boromir

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-05-2005, 07:06 PM

The answer I had been hoping for was:

Voronwë -> Túrin -> Melian -> Galadriel -> Boromir

Oh, well. I'll have to think up something new.

Finally!

Oh, and the thread is yours, Lindo.

Lindolirian · 01-08-2005, 07:23 PM

Ah, I had forgotten about Voronwë and Turin crossing paths. Next up:
Muzgash-> Grimbeorn
No Fellowship.

Lindolirian · 01-12-2005, 08:11 PM

Hint: Objects are allowed...

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-12-2005, 08:13 PM

Muzgash -> Mithril coat -> Thorin -> Beorn -> Grimbeorn

Lindolirian · 01-13-2005, 10:18 AM

Good work, Nil

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-13-2005, 10:25 PM

Elendil -> Elenwë

Lindolirian · 01-15-2005, 08:50 AM

Elendil-> Gil-Galad-> Fingon-> Turgon-> Elenwë

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-16-2005, 07:09 PM

Your turn again!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-21-2005, 12:45 AM

Don't make me poke you again, Lindo. It will hurt.

Such empty threats. I'd fear a rubber band more than I'd fear you.

That's because I can't harm you without harming myself. Bloody awful schizophrenia . . .

Lindolirian · 01-21-2005, 02:31 PM

That did hurt! It's only been five days which is half the stale thread time. I'll take as long as I jolly well want!

Just kidding, it's just that it's so tedious coming up with questions in this thread. Right...
Rhosgobel-> Brithombar

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-21-2005, 10:34 PM

Rhosgobel -> Radagast -> Beorn -> Bilbo -> Cirdan -> Brithombar?

Lindolirian · 01-22-2005, 10:41 AM

...cause you got it right!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-23-2005, 10:05 PM

'coz here comes the next puzzle.

Boromir of Ladros -> Boromir the Steward.

Lindolirian · 01-24-2005, 06:44 AM

Boromir of Ladros-> Bregor-> Barahir-> Ring of Barahir-> Elrond (or Aragorn)-> Isengard/Saruman-> Boromir the Steward
Six degrees, but I fancy there's a shorter way...maybe.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-24-2005, 09:05 PM

Here's a hint, though: One of the contacts was "magical".

EDIT: Here's another hint: Since Boromir of Ladros died of natural causes (well, I think), we could assume that he lived to see his grandsons.

Hope that helps!

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 01-25-2005, 03:01 AM

Boromir of Ladros-> Barahir-> Finrod Felagund (your noble forebear)-> Galadriel->Boromir, son of Denethor

Lindolirian · 01-25-2005, 02:40 PM

Ha! But Nil asked for Boromir the Steward, not of the jolly Fellowship!
Boromir of Ladros-> Barahir-> Finrod Felagund-> Galadriel (or anyone from Valinor in fact)-> Saruman-> Boromir the Steward

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 01-25-2005, 04:22 PM

next time I must read the question more thoroughly!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-25-2005, 09:21 PM

M-hm . . . Hmmm . . .

My resources are not complete. If you can prove Saruman and Boromir the Steward met, the thread is yours.

Lindolirian · 01-26-2005, 06:44 AM

Crud, I got him mixed up with Beren who gave Saruman the keys of Isengard. My bad...
Now that I've got it jolly well straight let's see about this:
Boromir of Ladros-> Barahir-> Felagund-> Galadriel-> Borondir*-> Cirion-> Boromir the Steward

*Borondir was the last rider of Gondor who made it to Eorl to ask for help. When he and the Eotheod passed by Lorien and Dol Guldur, Galadriel sent out a veiling mist to protect them. Borondir acknowledged her power as something good rather than ominous as the Eotheod thought it. So thats how they were connected. Aye yi yi, this was a good one...

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-26-2005, 07:04 PM

Lindolirian · 01-31-2005, 07:33 PM

Isilmo-> Enerdhil
Yes, you may use Sauron...

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-02-2005, 06:33 PM

Isilmo -> Tar-Minastir -> Ciryatur -> Gil-galad (-> Fingon) -> Idril -> Enerdhil?

Lindolirian · 02-02-2005, 08:58 PM

Nice, but mine's shorter!

Lindolirian · 02-10-2005, 05:52 PM

You were close and it works best if you use Sauron.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-10-2005, 07:40 PM

(Sauron.

)

Hintses?

Lindolirian · 02-10-2005, 07:43 PM

Tar-Minastir drove him out of Eriador, so I say it counts... continue from there.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-10-2005, 07:55 PM

But Tar-Minastir didn't actually fight in the Eriador war. He sent Ciryatur.

Lindolirian · 02-11-2005, 08:34 AM

So he did. Blast... ok I'll accept your first answer since it's the same length as my amended one. Well, don't I jolly well feel silly.

Take 'er away!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-13-2005, 05:38 PM

It happens to the best of us. And you happen to be one of them--best of us, that is.

Enedwaith, hier ist es:

Fëanor -> Túrin

No Elves, no Valar.

Have at it!

Lindolirian · 02-13-2005, 06:06 PM

Feanor-> Silmaril-> Beren-> Baragund-> Morwen-> Turin
