Well yes, Elentarimir, your answer does work. But Beren gave the answer that I was looking for. So please continue Beren (and congrats on the well-deserved PT). [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Well, the first blank must be Frodo. As for the second, it's not clear that Shelob actually died, so I'll say Snaga (on the basis that Sam wouldn't have got into Cirith Ungol without the phial).

Many happy returns of the day, Beren. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Heh.

Actually, Shelob did die. She went and ate herself (as she was now unable to hunt).

But Snaga works too, I was going to accept both.

Your go!

Really? Where is that from? When I checked LotR last night, all I could find was a passage saying something like "whether she died or healed herself, this tale does not tell". Is there something on this in one of the HoME books?

Anyway, thanks Beren. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

What if __________ had never married __________, then ___________ might never have seized the throne of Gondor.
