Freedom? Gollum got caught (by Faramir & co.) when he tried to catch fish, Frodo by Shelob when he tried to "catch" freedom.

Evisse the Blue · 07-14-2004, 02:57 PM

Uh, no, you're looking too hard. Your first guess was much closer.

Thorongil · 07-15-2004, 01:54 AM

Stewed rabbit?

Evisse the Blue · 07-15-2004, 04:57 AM

hint: they're extensively mentioned in the chapter currently discussed in the reading room.

Firefoot · 07-15-2004, 05:25 AM

Mushrooms!

Evisse the Blue · 07-15-2004, 09:03 AM

Yep!

Firefoot · 07-18-2004, 09:26 AM

Frodo is to Lothlórien

as

Aragorn is to ____________

Sleepy Ranger · 07-18-2004, 10:09 AM

Rivendell

Firefoot · 07-18-2004, 01:20 PM

Nope.

NightKnight · 07-18-2004, 01:32 PM

Alqualonde?

Firefoot · 07-18-2004, 01:58 PM

No.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-18-2004, 09:08 PM

Firefoot · 07-19-2004, 05:24 AM

Neither.

Firefoot · 08-07-2004, 12:40 PM

Anybody?

Big hint: it has to do with someone they both saw for the first time there.

luthien-elvenprincess · 08-07-2004, 01:56 PM

Cerin Amroth. Aragorn never came there again, and I believe that somewhere it says that Frodo never came again to Lorien.

Firefoot · 08-07-2004, 02:03 PM

Nope.

Hookbill the Goomba · 08-07-2004, 02:12 PM

Is it the Argonath?

Firefoot · 08-07-2004, 08:04 PM

No.

Hookbill the Goomba · 08-08-2004, 04:07 AM

Is it Celeborn?

Firefoot · 08-08-2004, 05:49 AM

No.

Hookbill the Goomba · 08-08-2004, 07:51 AM

Incredibly Wild Guess... Is it Galadriel?

Firefoot · 08-08-2004, 08:47 AM

Nope.

The place that is the answer is no where in Lothlórien.

Sleepy Ranger · 08-08-2004, 09:50 AM

Bree?

Firefoot · 08-08-2004, 09:58 AM

Nope.

Hookbill the Goomba · 08-08-2004, 10:09 AM

Is it Isengard? Or maybe Saruman?

Firefoot · 08-08-2004, 11:46 AM

Neither. The answer is a place.

paavo · 08-08-2004, 12:40 PM

the dead marshes? they both saw Gollum for the first time.

Firefoot · 08-08-2004, 12:52 PM
