Let's have some S then! Chances are it's Legolas though, I think he overuses 'Alas!'

perhaps your Barrowdowns guests can take a guess, too!

Ha! now I see it:
It's Gimli to Legolas in Helm's Deep:

Quote:

"The orcs are behind the wall. Ai-oi! Come, Legolas! There are enough for us both"

but you omitted "khazâd ai mênu"!

Aganzir · 01-14-2014, 07:54 AM

Yes, I thought it would have been too much of a give away.

Your turn!

Guinevere · 01-15-2014, 03:03 PM

Thanks! Apparently there is only us two left playing this game, which is a bit sad...

I wish old Gandalf was here, or somebody. Why am I left all alone to make up my mind? I'm sure to go wrong.

That would be Sam.

Guinevere · 01-19-2014, 11:27 AM

That's it, Aganzir, well done!

I feel so much with Sam – his despair, the terrible weight of the choice he had to make, his reluctance to make up his mind resonate deeply with me.
What also strikes me in Sam’s inner debates is how he is so humble and not sure of himself, always doubting his own abilities.
I wonder if that is because his father has called him too often a “ninnyhammer“ etc. in his childhood?

Aganzir · 01-20-2014, 06:22 AM

Yes, poor Sam!
