I saw this game at Entmoot (heck with so many members they're bound to come up a good idea now and then - actually, I think I foun the 'quotes' game there, too)

Here goes: Askers types in a line or a quote. Answerer types in the next sentence or passage from the book. Answerer, having verified the answer by typing it in, types in a new starting line.

Heres an example:
&quot;A nice, well-spoken gentlehobbit is Mr. Bilbo as I've always said,&quot; the Gaffer declared.

Looking this up in the book you'd find the next line is:
With perfect truth: for Bilbo was very polit to him, calling him 'Master Hamfast'.... etc.

The trick is to make it so the reference is not so obvious as this example and not so vague as to be impossible to find.

The next message will contain my first one.

Re: Get your books out!

&quot;I hope there and not many more hobbits that have become like this. It would be a worse trouble than all the damage the Men have done.&quot;

And my new line...

Gimli and Legolas looked at their companion in amazement, for they had not seen him in this mood before.

Re: Get your books out!

He seemed to have grown in stature while Eomer had shrunk; and in his living face they caught a brief vison of the power and majesty of the kings of stone.

Here's the next one (should be easy):

In a chair, at the far side of the room facing the outer door, sat a woman.

Her long yellow hair rippled down her shoulders; her gown was green, green as young reeds, shot with silver like beads of dew; and her belt was of gold, shaped like a chain of flag-lilies set with the pale-blue eyes of forget-me-nots.

Re: Get your books out!

And they saw that in the midst of the eyot a mound was piled, ringed with stones, and set about with many spears.

Here's the new one:

&quot;So victory is shorn of gladness, and it is bitter bought, if both Gondor and Rohan are in one day bereft of their lords.&quot;

Eomer rules the Rohirrim. Who shall rule the City meanwhile? Shall we not send now for the Lord Aragorn?

I'd like to see this game at least attempted. Look at red's post above and see if you can find the next line in the texts of the books.

I couldn't figure it out either... but red gave me a clue which I haven't had time to look up... I'm gonna share it.

The speaker was FRODO

You may be correct, but this game requires the actual next line of text directly from the books.

&quot;Battle and war!&quot; said Gandalf. &quot;Ride on!&quot;....That was a good one. Next line...spoken by gandalf..&quot;Yet there are other men and other lives, and time still to be. And for me, I pity even his slaves.&quot; That one shouldn't be too hard.

Re: Come on, folk! Let's try this one.

Actually that was the line right before what I wrote..not after..but considering you used your memory..That answer is more than good enough.

Re: Come on, folk! Let's try this one.

Sorry about my previous answer. I did eventually realise that I had put in the preceding line by mistake! The actual answer should have been:

&quot;And where will other men look for help, if Gondor falls?&quot; answered Denethor.

And here is my quote:

&quot;It is doubtful if he ever did anything braver in cold blood, or more unwise.&quot;

Jes, out of curiosity, where'd you find your answer to my last at? I thought this one might be tricky since Sam longs for his rope several times, but the line you came back with was different than the one I was looking for. I guess Sam goes around muttering more than I thought he did. <img src=smile.gif ALT="">

By all means, we'll proceed with yours, Jes. I was looking for the first time Sam realizes he didn't bring rope:
<blockquote>Quote:<hr> &quot;No rope! And only last night you said to yourself: 'Sam, what about a bit of rope? You'll want it, if you haven't got it.'&quot;<hr></blockquote>
...but I admit Sam may have muttered elsewhere.

Hey, get me -- I'm a &quot;Wight&quot;. Thanks, Ron, and thanks for running a great board.

<blockquote>Quote:<hr> At that moment Elrond came out with Gandalf, and he called the company to him.'This is my last word,' he said in a low voice. 'The Ring-bearer is setting out on the quest of Mount Doom.

Hard and cruel and bitter was the land that met his gaze. Before his feet the highest ridge of the Ephel Dúath fell steeply...&quot;

That was Sam upon entering Mordor in order to rescue Frodo from the orcs of Cirith Ungol.
