The Quote Game - Part 4

[Beren3000]

Ok here goes:

"_o_/ l_n_/ _o_/ _a_/ _o_d_l_n/ _e/ h_d_e_/;/ _n_/ b_i_g/ _i_c_v_r_d/ i_/ m_s_/ _a_l/."

Thanks for your advice, Val. it's really helpful. :)

Thanks for your advice, Val. it's really helpful. :) "Too long now has Gondolin been? hidden; and being discovered it must fall."

I believe this is Turgon on the battlefield in the Nirneath, speaking to Hurin.

[Beren3000]

"too", "has" and "been" are incorrect. The rest of the quote (and the speaker) is flawless :)

[Valandil]

'Not' - 'can' - 'be'?

[Rían]

first word "For"? (and could you please re-do the quote with correct words? I'm getting confused...)

[Beren3000]

My quote words were correct, RÃ*an. Valandil: "not", "can" and "be" are correct. Your turn :)

[Rían]

My quote words were correct, RÃ*an. No, I meant fill in the words that were right, because I was getting a little confused - I think I missed Val's post or something.

Anyway, Val got it right, so I'll wait for his post.

[Valandil]

Oops! OK - coming soon. Yes Beren, sometimes we 'update' the quote showing the correct parts of the solution in with the parts still unsolved. They can get dizzying otherwise, at times. That's what Rian was requesting.

OK - I'll try to be back with one shortly... :)

[Beren3000]

Ok, I see how this works. I'll "update" all of my future quote posts, then :)

P.S. Don't be late, Val.

[Rían]

I'll go ahead and put one up - it's kiddy bedtime in Val's timezone, and I don't think he'd mind (in fact, I imagine he'd appreciate it! Solving the quote is the fun part, not putting up a quote.)

"I/_r_n_/g_o_/n_w_./M_/b_o_h_r/_s/_o/_o_g_r/_n/_a_n/_n_/w_l_/n_t/_i_,/
f_r/_/c_m_/i_/t_m_/t_/w_t_s_a_d/_h_/v_n_m./_n_/n_w/_/l_a_n/_h_t/
_h_/m_r_u_e_s/_a_e/_e_n/_l_i_,/o_/e_s_/f_e_./H_w/_a_e/_o_/f_r_d?"

[Beren3000]

"I bring good news. My brother is no longer in pain and will not die, for I came in time to (withstand?) the venom. And now I learn that the marauders have been slain,/o_/easy/f_e_. How have you fared?"

[-elfearz-]

...have been slain or else fled?

[Valandil]

Hey Beren... sorry I couldn't get a quote posted sooner. THIS one has me stumped for a speaker though. Who had a brother whom they saved from some venom by a timely arrival - then took the news to someone else and asked how THEY had done...???

:confused:

[Beren3000]

It sounds like UT to me. Remember that day about the guy who had a Pukel man statue (or a statue of a wild man of the woods) who saved him and his family from thieves? I think it was that guy who's speaking, am I right?

[Valandil]

That story came to mind, but I didn't remember those details until you mentioned it. I'll bet you're right. Look it up if you have the book handy - then post if you're correct. (oops! Just remembered I have that book with me today! :p Looked it up and you ARE correct! Go ahead and post.)

[Rían]

Fun little quote, isn't it?! And it was actually the Drug (that looks funny without the little mark above the 'u') that was speaking, not the man. Great story! "The Druedain", from UT.

[Beren3000]

OK here's my post:

"S_a_l/_o_t_l/_a_/s_e_/_i_i_g/_p_n/t_e/u_d_i_g/_a_d_,/_n_/_e_/_i_e?"

[Valandil]

Oops! Didn't read Beren's post closely enough. :o

"Shall mortal man /s_e_/ riding upon the undying lands, and see life?"

[Beren3000]

"riding", "see" and "life" are wrong. All other words correct. Keep on guessing! :D

[Rían]

is it "living" instead of "riding"?

ANd what in the world is that other word! Rats!

[Rían]

oh, is the end "yet live"?

[Valandil]

"Shall mortal man spew wiring upon the undying lands, and yet live?"

[Beren3000]

OK
Here's the "updated" ;) version of the quote with all the correct words guessed so far:

"Shall mortal Man s_e_/ living upon the undying lands and yet live?"

Only one more word to go and the speaker.
Keep on guessing!

And, Val. "spew wiring"....?? :confused:

[Rían]

I love your "alternate reading" posts, Val! :D

is it "step"?

[Beren3000]

"step" is correct, RÃ*an. We need the speaker now. *rubs hands together in excitment*

[Valandil]

OK - several possibilities:

Amandil?

[Rían]

Oh, rats, I honestly can't remember - it's one of the Valar, IIRC, about Earendil - let's say Ulmo?

[Beren3000]

You're veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery cold.

[Valandil]

How 'bout the Elven messengers from the West who came to speak to the Numenorean kings?

[Beren3000]

Nope

[Valandil]

Oh - did Ar-Pharazon say it to Sauron when Sauron first began to tempt him with the whole idea? :)

[Beren3000]

You're thinking along the wrong lines here, Val. Go further back in time ;)

[Valandil]

OK - did you see Rian's guess? I think you might have cross-posted with her after my first attempt...

[Beren3000]

You're right, I did cross-post. Sorry, RÃ*an :o
You're sort of correct. It's a Vala talking about Earendil but it's not Ulmo.

THIS IS MY 200TH POST!!!

[Count Comfect]

To go right to the top... is it Manwe?

[Beren3000]

Nope. To keep the thread going, I'll give you the answer: it's Mandos. Since Valandil and RÃ*an solved most of the quote, I give the right to post to whicever one of them who can post first...

[Valandil]

Aw shucks, we'da gotten 'Mandos' eventually! :p

Hey Rian - I gotta go now, but could TRY to post one in 4-5 hours, if that's sufficient... :)

[Rían]

I'm running the name game question now, so can't post a quote yet - anyone can go, as far as I'm concerned, or I'll try a bit later if Val doesn't get to it first.

[Valandil]

Alright... we've been takin' it easy lately. This might help us 'get in shape': ;)

The speaker is Elrond.

P.S. thanks for this challenging quote, Val :D

[Artanis]

Filling in some:

[-elfearz-]

older than the old?
and think he was called Forn by the dwarves...but that's a very uncertain guess :)

[Valandil]

Good work team! Beren was right with 'outlier', Artanis was correct with her adds, and so was elfearz.

That only leaves one word and the speaker. The one word is that which the Northern Men called him. The speaker is, obviously, long-winded. ;) :p

EDIT: - oops! I see that Beren got the speaker already... we only need one word then.

[Valandil]

Just one word! No takers??? :confused:

(EDIT: Hint - sounds kinda like a tooth fixative! :p :D )

[Rían]

I just can't remember :mad:

/_r_l_/ ...

What does it start with?

(hmm, dental - "drill"?)

[Valandil]

Not 'drill'... starts with an "O"! :)

[Rían]

Well, I keep thinking "Olorin", but it doesn't fit ...

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

which is obviously totally wrong

um...*thinks it's orold...orald?..something like that* :confused:

"Orald" it is... your turn elfearz!

(when looking at it once, it made me think of "oral-B" :p :D )

You're very welcome. T'was Rian who first gave that very same advice to me, btw! :)

[Artanis]

"And earlier, it is to be hoped.
For I have not ridden hither from Isengard,
one hundred and fifty leagues, with the speed of wind,
only to bring you one small warrior, however courteous.
Is it naught to you that Theoden has fought a great battle,
and that Isengard is overthrown,
and that I have broken the staff of Saruman?"

Gandalf to Denethor.

[Valandil]

Correct Artanis... good job!

I've always loved that, "... however courteous..."!! Cracks me up every time! :D :p

Is there a way to get the underscore without having to hit "shift" every time? That's the slowest part now. IOW, I do arrow, delete, shift, underscore (repeat ad nauseum). I have a cap lock, but no shift lock, and my computer doesn't like if I keep holding down the shift key.

Only a few small wrong words: had, was, as.

[Artanis]

Correct Chrys! :)

[Valandil]

"Heavy have the hearts of our chieftains been since that

[Artanis]

All correct except 'defeat'.

[Valandil]

'deceit' then? :)

Uh... does that mean 'silver' was the only correct word I added? :o :p

[Artanis]

It did mean so yes. :p

[Valandil]

OK - 'birds' singing, right?

[Artanis]

Right!
I'm going to bed now - feel free to look up the quote and proceed if you think you've solved it. G'nite, see ya tomorrow. :)

[Radagast The Brown]

'in grass and listened' (5th line)
'sea in my heart' (sixth)
'Lord of waters himself, maybe' (last line)

[Artanis]

Yes Rad.

Or the Lord of Waters himself, maybe; for he was strong in that land."

[Radagast The Brown]

I think it's the one who took Tour to Gondolin, Aranwe.

[Valandil]

Not sure of the speaker myself... but I AM pretty sure I got at least SOME of the words wrong. In some cases I put words together that didn't make sense, but I couldn't come up with two workable words in those cases - and this way, if ONE of them is right, we find out which one and it gives us something to go on. :)

[Artanis]

Here is what you've got:

"Yet fairest of all are the willows of Nan-Tathren,
pale green, or silver in the wind,
and the rustle of their unnumerable leaves is a spell of music:
day and night would/_l_c_e_/by uncounted,/
while still I stood/_n_e-deep in grass and listened.
There I was enchanted, and forgot the sea in my heart.
There I wandered,/_a_i_g/_e_/flowers,
or _a_/a_r_a_/amid the singing of the birds, and the humming of bees and flies;
and there I might still dwell in delight, forsaking/all my kin,
whether the ships of the Teleri or the swords of the Noldor,
but my doom would not so.
Or the Lord of Waters himself, maybe; for he was strong in that land."

The speaker is truly he who went with Tuor to Gondolin, but his name was not Aranwe.

[Valandil]

I think I got just two more...

'knee-deep' (of course!) and

or lay /a_r_a_/amid the singing of the birds

??

[Sister Golden Hair]

Voronwe

[Artanis]

Yes and yes to Val,
and yes to SGH. :)

[Radagast The Brown]

'lay abroad'?
'new flowers'?

[Artanis]

'abroad' is wrong.
'new' is correct.

[Sister Golden Hair]

"flicker?"

[Artanis]

Yes! :)

Edit: And yes Rad, it's 'naming new flowers'. But not 'aerial'.

one word left ...

[Artanis]

OK folks, I need my beauty sleep. So here's a clue: What do you do when you sleep?

[Radagast The Brown]

Dream? Adream? Is it a word? :p

Yes, 'adream' it is.
Tolkien seemed to think it was a word, I trust him. :p

'sought' is not correct... so three words and speaker left to go. :)

[Sister Golden Hair]

"Elfstone" "forgot?"

This is Aragorn.

[Artanis]

"nought to dread"?

[Valandil]

Elfstone was right - and so was 'nought to dread'

Is this Gandalf?

Your hampster must run alot faster than mine, man ;).

I think is was Gandalf though, since Artanis aint here.

I think she would want you to go ahead, Mrs. Hair ;)

'one' then. :)

Oh - that one was a quote of mine (my posting anyway). It's from Frodo's conversation with Boromir just before Boromir tries to take the Ring. So about 3-4 pages into the chapter 'Breaking of the Fellowship' in my copy. (last chapter in 'Fellowship of the Ring')

[Artanis]

'hope', 'tarry' and the last 'more' are wrong. The speaker is not Frodo.

It's a great game (maybe the best on the board - after *Appendix Trivia* anyhow! :p ). I say we keep playing and start Quote Game #5 when the time comes. I won't be surprised if we're a bit slower the next couple months of summer... but we're still picking up newer players. So even if some of us come to need a rest from it (where's DoLC been?), the replacement troops are coming in.

Much of hope /_m_o_t/, it can seem, and yet to me less pressing.
But maybe we can speak again at the end of the day."

[Rían]

is the first missing word "Else"?

[Radagast The Brown]

Oh, I haven't noticed.*shock* Could you ever forgive me?
Yes, you know it's not blue. I can help you, and tell you it's not glue either. :p

Still, there are some wrongs - tend, hope, can (just before the 'seem').

Good luck in the next try then. :)

Edit - yes, Rian.

'mend' is wrong. The speaker is indeed Denethor.

elfearz, you can actually come up with a quote WITHOUT referring to a book!?!? :confused: :eek: amazing!

"So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for
them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with
the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant
to find the Ring. In which case, you were also meant
to have it. And that is an encouraging thought."

Sounds 'bookish' to me anyway... 'Shadow of the Past'

I suggest we leave that to SGH, as this is within her forum. We could let her start it, or she could designate someone who finishes a quote to do so (and they should be sure to post The Rule of the Game in their first post as well).

No mistake - but you apperently coppied from Chrys, and he added a letter in the first missing word. (an 'l')

[Valandil]

'say' then - for that word

is the speaker the smaller of the two orcs who are pursuing Frodo and Sam inside of Mordor? The scout/tracker/archer?

Correct, for the speaker as well.
