RTB, is t_i_r a mistake?

[Beren3000]

Is the last word "crushing"? And is the speaker Gimli?

[Radagast The Brown]

Yes, it is SGH. Sorry. I didn't have much time.

Everything is correct, Beren's turn it is.

[Beren3000]

Okay, here we go:

"B_ / t_e / _a_ / t_a_ / y_u / _a_e / _o_ / h_v_ / l_a_e / _o / _e_a_t, / _f / _h_r_n_o_ / i_ / w_l_i_g. / _ / g_i_v_ / _t / _h_s / _a_t_n_; / y_t / _n / _ / l_t_l_ / w_i_e, / _s / _h_ / E_d_r / _c_o_n_ / i_, / w_ / m_y / _e_t / _g_i_."

Enjoy :)

[Sister Golden Hair]

Okay, here we go:

Enjoy :)"By the way that you came you have leave to depart, if _h_r_n_o_ is willing. I grieve at this parting; yet in a while as the Eldar account it, we may meet again."

[Radagast The Brown]

Thorondor?

[Valandil]

Thorondor?

S: Turgon?

[Sister Golden Hair]

Beats self in head with stick of wrath. Of course it's Thorondor. :rolleyes: WHAP! (ouch) :(

[Beren3000]

Everything's correct. Val gets the turn. By the way, welcome back, Val. Seems like a good vacation you spent from your sig :)

[Valandil]

Thank you... and yes! I put it in the sig for a few days so I won't have to repeat myself telling everyone! :p

"T_o_p/,/_a_/r_g_t/./_/f_n_/c_m_c/_n_/.

[Radagast The Brown]

"Troup, was right. I find comic one.
Come in my merry/_e_/, and what are your names?
I don't want your service just now, only your names;
And then sit down and stop wagging!"

[Valandil]

Well... it's actually spelled 'Troop' - but I give you that one.

'I find' - is not correct.

Then there's the one other word and speaker - since you got all the rest right! :)

[Artanis]

'A fine' ?

[Beren3000]

Is "men" the last word? And is the speaker Bilbo?

[Valandil]

Quote all solved - speaker is not Bilbo

[Radagast The Brown]

Beorn.

[Beren3000]

EDIT: never mind, cross-post with RTB.

[Valandil]

Beorn is correct - your turn Radagast! :)

[Valandil]

"Greatly changed he seemed to me since I saw him
first in the king's house, grimmer, older.
Fey I thought him, and wise and /w_o_/ the /_e_d/_a_l."

[Beren3000]

S: Beleg about Turin?

[Artanis]

'like one whom the dead call'?
Is the speaker Eowyn?

[Valandil]

Sounds like a good guess Arty! Strange... if she DID say that, I never thought about that part you add in light of where Aragorn was actually going! The dead WERE INDEED calling him! :)

[Radagast The Brown]

Atranis is right. :) Your turn then.

[Artanis]

[Artanis]

SGH, all correct except the 4th 'you'. :)

[Beren3000]

Okay, missing words: "midsummer", "that is now here" and "reach him before the Nine..."
Speaker Radagast the Brown to Gandalf

[Artanis]

That's correct Beren. Your turn now. :)

[Beren3000]

Here you go:

"T_o_ / h_s_ / h_d / _h_ / d_e. / _o_ / w_t_ / m_ / p_w_r / _h_t / _ / p_t / _n_o / _h_e / _h_ / w_r_ / w_s / _c_o_p_i_h_d. / _ / n_e_ / t_e_ / n_ / m_r_. / T_e_e / _h_n_s / _h_u / _h_l_ / n_t / _a_e, / _o_ / s_e. / _ / n_m_ / t_e_ / u_t_ / m_s_l_ / f_r / _v_r."

Enjoy! :)

[Valandil]

"Thou hast had thy due. For with my power that I put into thee the work was accomplished. I need thee no more. These things thou shall not have, nor see. I name them unto myself for ever."

[Sister Golden Hair]

"Thou hast had thy due. For with my power that I put into thee thy work was accomplished. I need thee no more. These things thou shall not have, nor see. I name them unto myself for ever."

This is Morgoth speaking to Ungoliant.

Ha! I'm usually terrible with the speaker. :p :)

[Beren3000]

Ha! I'm usually terrible with the speaker.
Funny 'cause I thought this time the speaker was a bit difficult :D
Anyway, all correct; your turn :)

[Sister Golden Hair]

"T_e/_a_/h_s/_o_e!/_e_o_d,/_e_p_e/_f/_h_/E_d_r/
_n_/F_t_e_s/_f/_e_,/t_e/_a_/h_s/_o_e!"

[Radagast The Brown]

"The war has come! Behold,/_e_p_e/of the Eldar
and Fitness of Men, the war has come!"

[Beren3000]

Missing word "people" and "Fathers" instead of "Fitness".
Is the speaker Eonwë?

[Sister Golden Hair]

Here is what you have so far:

"The _a_ has come! Behold, people of the Eldar and Fathers of Men,
the _a_ has come!"

The speaker is not Eonwe.

[Beren3000]

Ok, both missing words "day". And is the speaker the dwarf leader who kept swinging his axe at the Nirnaeth? (Can't remember his name)

[Sister Golden Hair]

"day" is correct.

The speaker is incorrect.

[Radagast The Brown]

Hurin and Huor at the Nirnaith?

[Sister Golden Hair]

It is not Hurin or Huor. :)

[Valandil]

Was it that Felagund fellow? Finrod?

[Sister Golden Hair]

Nope, not him either. :)

[Radagast The Brown]

Gandalf?

[Beren3000]

Eärendil at the War of Wrath? (please don't laugh!)

[Sister Golden Hair]

Not Gandalf, and not Earendil.

[Valandil]

Thorondor?

[Sister Golden Hair]

Not Thorondor.

Hint: It is said by an Elf, and it is at the Nirnaeth.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Turgon

[Sister Golden Hair]

Nope.

[Valandil]

Beleg?

[Sister Golden Hair]

Nope, not Beleg.

[Radagast The Brown]

Fingon, then.

[Sister Golden Hair]

Good job RTB, Fingon the Valiant it is. :) Your turn.

[Radagast The Brown]

Yet do you cast all hope away. Tomorrow is /_n_n_w_/. Ride out as
_o_n_/as the rising sun."

[Radagast The Brown]

Wrong - 'you' 'ride out as', second 'as'.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

The wrong you is a not

[Sister Golden Hair]

"unknown"?

[Rían]

"Rede oft is"

[Valandil]

The wrong you is a not

That almost sounds Italian! :D

"And ere morning it will be in the East. But rest, if you must.
Yet do not cast all hope away. Tomorrow is /_n_n_w_/. /R_d_/ oft is
/_o_n_/ at the rising sun."

[Radagast The Brown]

:p

Everything is correct, one word left and speaker.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

found and speaker Gandalf

[Valandil]

found?

[Radagast The Brown]

Found is correct, the speaker is not Gandalf.

[Valandil]

Theoden?

[Rían]

Is it Leggy-boy?

[Radagast The Brown]

Legolas it is. :)

[Rían]

okey-dokey, here it comes, quote fans!

"W_/a_e/_i_e_y/_o/_e_/o_h_r/_e_c_m_r_/f_r_t./_u_i_i_e_/f_o_/C_i_/A_d_o_/h_v_/a_r_a_y/

[Valandil]

"We are likely to see other newcomers first. /_u_i_i_e_/ from Cair Andros have already reached us. The /_s_e/ has fallen. Another army is come from the Black Gate, crossing from the north-east."

[Valandil]

Oh-ho! 'fugitives' and 'Isle'!

Was Denethor the speaker?

[Radagast The Brown]

Is it Faramir?

[Rían]

good guesses, Val, esp. on fugitives! I thought that one might be tough, but NO! :D

Speaker is not Faramir or his daddy.

[Radagast The Brown]

Gandalf then.

[Valandil]

Beregond?

[Valandil]

...esp. on fugitives! I thought that one might be tough, but NO! :D


Uh... actually, it WAS tough! :)

[Rían]

But you're such a quote stud, Val! :D

Raddy is right, it's Gandalf. Your go, Rad!

[Radagast The Brown]

[Artanis]

"Then I need say no more. But do not /d_s_i_e/ the lore that has come down
from distant years; for oft it may chance that old wives keep in memory
word of things that once were needful for the wise to know."

[Beren3000]

Last word "despise". Is the speaker Aragorn?

[Radagast The Brown]

Quote is complete, the speaker is not Aragorn. :)

[Beren3000]

How about Gandalf?

[Radagast The Brown]

No..

[Beren3000]

Frodo talking to Faramir about the "Halflings"?

[Radagast The Brown]

Nope. :)

[Artanis]

Faramir? :confused:

[Radagast The Brown]

No. Tell me when/if you want hints :)

[Valandil]

Celeborn?

[Radagast The Brown]

You got it! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Your turn. ;)

[Valandil]

"Well! We are forgetting our family history!
These must be the very three that were caught by Gandalf,
quarrelling over the right way to cook thirteen dwarves and one hobbit."

S: Frodo.

[Valandil]

Correct Beren - your turn! :)

[Beren3000]

Here's another quote coming your way:

"I_ / l_v_ / I / _o_d / _o_ / f_r / _e_c_e / _n_ / s_f_-k_e_i_g. / _u_ / n_w / _o_ / h_v_ / d_n_ / i_l / _o / _e, / _r_e_d, / _o / b_t_a_ / m_ / r_g_t / _a_e, / _n_ / c_l_ / m_ / d_o_ / u_o_ / m_, / f_o_ / w_i_h / _ / w_u_d / _i_ / h_d."

Enjoy! :)"In love I hold you for rescue and safe-keeping. But now you have done ill to me friend, to betray my right name and call my doom upon me, from which I would lie hid."

Ah! One of my favorite parts of the book. :)

This is Turin giving Gwindor the business. :D

[Beren3000]

All good. Take it away, SGH :)

[Radagast The Brown]

'between' and 'Dimbar'?

[Sister Golden Hair]

Okay this is what we have so far. I mistakenly left out "the peaks of the" so I have put that in. Valandil, most of what you solved was correct except for the spelling, which I have corrected. :p ;)

"Never did we go so far from the borders. But you
have seen the peaks of the Crissaegrim far off, and to the east
the /d_r_/ walls of the Gorgoroth. Anach lies between,

[Valandil]

First word 'darn' or 'durn'??? :confused:

Second word 'hand'?

[Sister Golden Hair]

First word 'darn' or 'durn'??? :confused:

Second word 'hand'?I can't recall ever seeing the words "darn" or "durn in Tolkien. :D So those guesses are wrong.

"Hand" is correct.

[Earniel]

How about 'dark'? :D

[Sister Golden Hair]

"dark" is correct my little chocoholic sea Elf. :)

Speaker anyone?

[Earniel]

Radagast the brown guessed Beleg in his first post solving this quote. I'm thinking likewise.

[Sister Golden Hair]

Radagast the brown guessed Beleg in his first post solving this quote. I'm thinking likewise.Oh, I missed that. Well then, you got the last word, so your go. :)

[Earniel]

An easy one:

"W_a_/h_v_/y_u/_h_r_/?/W_a_/n_e_/t_/_e/_o/_i_r_e/?/_t/_s/_l_/a_d/_m_l_/./W_a_/h_r_/i_/i_/i_/?"

[Radagast The Brown]

"What have you there? What need to /_e/_o/_i_r_e/?/It is old and small. What harm if it is?"

It's not easy for me. :confused: (wonder how many wrong words I have there though.)

[Earniel]

You've got a lot correct RTB. Here is what's correct so far:

"What have you there? What need to /_e/_o/_i_r_e/?/It is old and small. What harm i_/ i_/ i_?"

[Sister Golden Hair]

"What have you there? What need to be so fierce? It is old and small. What harm is in it"?

[Earniel]

The quote's correct, SGH. :) Any thought on the speaker?

[Radagast The Brown]

Bilbo? :confused:

[Earniel]

Nope. :)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Boromir?

[Earniel]

No, not Boromir.

[Beren3000]

Faramir talking about Gollum?

[Earniel]

Not Faramir either.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Bilbo about the Ring

[Beren3000]

Turin about Mîm?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Is it talking about the Ring.

[Earniel]

Turin about Mîm?
Túrin it is! your turn, Beren. :)

[Beren3000]

I'm very sorry, but I absolutely can NOT post today. If anyone else's got a quote, be my guest. Otherwise, I'll post one tomorrow.

[Radagast The Brown]

Correct, SGH. Only speaker left.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Gandalf?

[Radagast The Brown]

No..

[Rían]

Is it by any chance from the Hobbit? :confused:

[Valandil]

Is it Treebeard?

[Beren3000]

Is it Aragorn speaking to Gandalf?

[Radagast The Brown]

Treebeard it is. :) Your turn Val.

[Radagast The Brown]

'despise', 'destroy', 'sleep'?

[Beren3000]

In order:
"despite", "cloak", "destroy", "sweep".

[Valandil]

Current state:

"Good tidings! Even in this gloom hope gleams again.

[Beren3000]

Is the first missing word "orcs"?

[Valandil]

Is the first missing word "orcs"?

Sorry - missed this post for a bit.

Yes - 'orcs' it is! That leaves two very small words, half a hyphenated word... and a speaker. :)

[Beren3000]

"out-wall", "to" and "day"?
Is the speaker Faramir?

[Valandil]

"out-wall", "to" and "day"?
Is the speaker Faramir?

The 'out-wall' is correct... the other parts are not. :)

"Good tidings! Even in this gloom hope gleams again.
Our Enemy's devices oft serve us in his despite.
The accursed darkness itself has been a cloak to us. And now,
lusting to destroy Gondor and throw it down stone from stone,

[Beren3000]

"no way"?
Is the speaker Eomer?

[Valandil]

"no way"?
Is the speaker Eomer?

Speaker IS Eomer... neither 'no' nor 'way' is correct though. :)

[Artanis]

'so far'?

[Valandil]

'so far'?

Yes - you got it Artanis! :)

[Artanis]

Anyone - feel free to post the next quote, or I'll do it tomorrow. :)

[Radagast The Brown]

I'll go.. if you don't mind?

may it not so end that such that /_a_/f_i_/ and /_o_d_r_u_/ shall pass

[Radagast The Brown]

'such' and 'hidden' are wrong.

[Valandil]

"Yet also I should be sad. For however the fortune of war shall go,
may it not so end that much that was fair and wonderful shall pass
for ever out of Middle-earth?"

[Radagast The Brown]

Quote is correct, speaker is left.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Galadriel?

[Radagast The Brown]

Nope.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Elrond?

[Radagast The Brown]

No. .

[Valandil]

Faramir?

[Radagast The Brown]

Wrong.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Celeborn?

[Radagast The Brown]

Not Celeborn, no.

[Valandil]

Gandalf?

[Radagast The Brown]

No. Do you want a hint? :p

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Yes please

[Valandil]

Legolas?

[Radagast The Brown]

Ok... it's a discussion with Gandalf. The speaker is talking to Gandalf.

Not Legolas.

[Valandil]

Saruman?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Aragorn

[Radagast The Brown]

Not Aragorn, nor Saruman. It is a rather main character, btw. I can't eblieve it's so hard.

[Valandil]

Frodo?

[Radagast The Brown]

No. It's from the Two Towers.

[Valandil]

Theoden?

[Radagast The Brown]

You got it! :) Your turn Val.

[Valandil]

You got it! :) Your turn Val.

Boy - I don't actually remember Theoden saying that, :o but we were running out of characters... esp once we got it down to those who spoke to Gandalf in TT. :p

[Valandil]

'sooned' is not correct (not a word in English, sorry) :p

Otherwise, OK :)

[Earniel]

"Moreover, Arathorn is a stern man of full age, and will be chieftain sooner than men looked for;yet my heart for_o_e_/that he will be shortlived."

Dirhael father of Gilraen

Best, wood, twerp, by and sudden all wrong.

[Valandil]

"The rest of men will lag in a rough road, while a dwarf goes on, be the burden twice his own weight, Master Boromir!"

Gimli?

[Valandil]

Oops... 'The legs of men...'

Didn't look closely enough! :p

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

That is it. Your go Val.

[Rían]

"twerp"! *snerk* Good one, Val! :D

Thank you! ;)

Inasmuch as ye have answered spake ye correctly! :)

"Gandalf has been saying many cheerful things like that.
He thinks I need keeping in order. But it seems impossible,
somehow, to feel gloomy or depressed in this place.

Must be Pip in Imladris.

[Valandil]

Correct Artanis... your turn! :)

[Artanis]

Sorry - could someone else take my turn please? I'm too busy ... :o

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Do you want to go again Val.

[Valandil]

Do you want to go again Val.

Well... I just did two of the last three (ED: and three of the last five! :eek: ). Would YOU like to post again? :)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Okay then

"That was indeed Boromir as I know him. For the golden belt was given to him in Lothlorien by the lady
Galadriel. She it was that clothed us as you see us, in elven-grey. This brooch is/_o_e/of the same workmanship."

The speaker is Frodo, I think.

Last missing word: come?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

The speaker is Frodo, I think.

Last missing word: come?
Come is wrong. And Frodo is the speaker.

[Radagast The Brown]

Telcontar Dunedain, I checked, and there is no word in there - it's simply ' This brooch is of the same workmanship'.

[Rían]

So it's Earni's go :)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

It's not in my edition

[Radagast The Brown]

'time comes'? By Gandalf?

[Valandil]

Oh - and probably 'hand it on' rather than 'in'! :)

[Earniel]

My, my, and here I was hoping to keep you busy at least until the weekend. :p

The quote's correct and the speaker too. A very good last-second correction, oh High king of Annuminas, it has won you the next turn (which was, IIRC, not what you were after). :p

[Valandil]

... it has won you the next turn (which was, IIRC, not what you were after). :p

Huh!???! :confused: :eek:

Er... I meant 'an'... no-no - it had to be 'un' that's it!! 'en'??? And like... NO WAY I coulda gotten the speaker!!

Oh rats! Just couldn't resist fixing it up!! :mad:

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

Hi all,
I will attend here to solve quotes,
I know you must all be missing me!! :D
I have recently bought 'The Silmarillion' and Unfinished Tales
and am on my 10th reading of Sil now,
not to mention college, dog shows, my back etc etc
don't worry, though, I will come and solve everyone's quotes!!

[Valandil]

Talk is cheap. Get solving...'stead of just tellin' us how you're GOING to solve! ;) :D

[Rían]

Hi Chrys! Nice to see you again :)


"but I do not ?ought the loyalty of ?, nor they but ?
nor ? that the ? of Elendil ? by ?.
I will send to your aid when you have need, so far as I am able."

eh, rough first cut...

[Earniel]

Huh!???! :confused: :eek:

Er... I meant 'an'... no-no - it had to be 'un' that's it!! 'en'??? And like... NO WAY I coulda gotten the speaker!!

Oh rats! Just couldn't resist fixing it up!! :mad:

:p
Neh neh neh, you fell for it! :p Nanah nananah! ;)

"but I do not _ought the loyalty of Arnor, nor deny our kinship, nor wish that the realms of Elendil should be astranged. I will send to your aid when you have need, so far as I am able."

You do stray little from FÃ*riel's age, Valandil, even when quoting. I'm guessing the speaker is Eärnil?

[Valandil]

The one word is not an '_ought' word... otherwise, you're all correct, Earniel. 'estranged' is actually the correct spelling, but I give you that one - esp since I reversed blanks on that and 'kinship' to make them harder. :evil: (and technically, it's Earnil II :p ;) )

[Valandil]

...You do stray little from FÃ*riel's age, Valandil, even when quoting...

What are you saying? Am I getting as bad as SGH with her Finrod quotes?? :p ;) :D

OK peoples... one 6-letter word left, and I gave you 3 of them... anyone wanna give it a try?? :)

[Beren3000]

"forget"?

[Radagast The Brown]

'forget'.

Edit - oops. Cross posted.

[Valandil]

'forget' is correct Beren - your turn! :)

[Earniel]

[...]esp since I reversed blanks on that and 'kinship' to make them harder. :evil:
You didn't!

*goes back to check*

You did! You Sneaky King! :eek: :D

What are you saying? Am I getting as bad as SGH with her Finrod quotes?? :p ;) :D
Oh I wouldn't dare make such statements! Especially not if it gives me an advantage to usually know where to place quotes coming from you (or SGH). ;)

[Rían]

Val! You sneaky guy!

why didn't I think of that!?!

[Beren3000]

'forget' is correct Beren - your turn!
