Quote Game-Part 6

[Rían]

'K :)


"_r_m/_h_/g_e_n/_o_n_/s_e/_a_e./_s/_h_t/_/s_g_,/
a_d/_o_/s_a_l/_/r_a_/i_?/"

[Valandil]

"From the green /_o_n_/ she came. Is that a sign,
and how shall I read it?"

[Rían]

correct so far :)

[littleadanel]

"mound" ?

And the speaker... oh, I remember, Túrin! When he finds Nienor. ;)

(Oh my, I feel so bad giving the last part after Val gave all the words but one. :o )

[Rían]

correct, and correct!

(and don't worry - we all do that sometimes! I'm sure Val won't mind because he just did the last quote :) )

It's your go, littleadanel :)

[littleadanel]

'right... :o

"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_/a_/t_i_/p_r_i_g;/
_e_/i_/a/_i_t_e/_h_l_,/a_/t_e/_l_a_/a_c_u_t/_t,/
_e/_a_/m_e_/a_a_n."

[Rían]

By the ? that you gave ? have leave to ?
if Thorondor is willing. I grieve at this parting;



eh, not a terrific start...

[littleadanel]

All correct, save "gave".

"By the /_a_/ that you /_a_e/_o_/ have leave to /_e_a_t,/
if/Thorondor is willing. I grieve at this parting;/
_e_/i_/a/_i_t_e/_h_l_,/a_/t_e/_l_a_/a_c_u_t/_t,/
_e/_a_/m_e_/a_a_n."

So far. 'Night all; around 11pm here. I'll check your guesses tomorrow ;)

[Rían]

last bit - "... in a little while, as the Eldar account it, we may meet again" ?

and last word, first line - depart?

[littleadanel]

All correct, RÃ*an :)

Ha, hrm, hm, let me see...

"By the /_a_/ that you /_a_e/_o_/ have leave to depart,
if Thorondor is willing. I grieve at this parting;
_e_/ in a little while, as the Eldar account it,
we may meet again."

Almost completed... all we need is 4 words and a speaker ;)

[Earniel]

'have' and 'yet'?

[littleadanel]

Editing post: well, um, sorry for misleading, "yet" is correct but "have" is not. :o :)

[Rían]

I think you might be missing a word :confused: or perhaps "have" is "came"?

"By the way that you came you have leave to depart"? or
"By the way that you have come you have leave to depart"?

speaker is Turgon, I imagine ...

[littleadanel]

You're right, RÃ*an... Eärniel's "have" wasn't correct, this line of yours "By the way that you came you have leave to depart" is the correct one. (Aww, I knew I would mess it up if I don't make a summary after each guess. :o )

Anyway, speaker is correct too, so it's your turn :) :o ;)

[Rían]

Oh, don't worry :) Non-native English speakers get extra grace!

"I/_e_r/_o_/t_a_/t_o_/w_u_d_t/_a_t_r/_i_h/_e./_h_t/i_/t_y/_r_c_?/"

[littleadanel]

Non-native English speakers get extra grace!

:D

And a non-native, but attending English faculty at uni? :p
But this I-can-only-see-every-second-letter thing is hard for me. I really needed to concentrate to keep track of things :p

And to stay on topic, lemme start guessing...

... that thou wouldn't ? with me ...

[Rían]

All but "wouldn't" are correct. :)

"I/_e_r/_o_/that/thou/w_u_d_t/_a_t_r/with/me./_h_t/i_/t_y/_r_c_?/"

[littleadanel]

If not "wouldn't" (and obviously not - no apostrophe :rolleyes: *smacks forehead*) then maybe "wouldst" ? And second sentence - "What is thy..." ?

[Rían]

Yes to all!

"I/_e_r/_o_/that/thou/wouldst/_a_t_r/with/me./What/is/thy/_r_c_?/"

[Midge]

Is the second word "fear", maybe?

[Rían]

almost ... but not quite ...

And welcome to Entmoot, Midge :) This is a fun game!

[Valandil]

'hear too'?
'barter'?
'price'?

Can't place it.

[Rían]

All but "too" correct :)

"I/hear/_o_/that/thou/wouldst/barter/with/me./What/is/thy/price?/"

[Serenoli]

'now'?

[Valandil]

Is it Feanor?

[Rían]

"now" is correct; Mr. Hot Temper is not :)

[Serenoli]

So, do I post now, or wait till the speaker is identified? Personally, I haven't the foggiest idea who it could be...

[Rían]

well, I'm afraid the speaker needs to be identified ...

I'll give some hints, though -

1. what kinds of beings tend to speak in the old-fashioned "thee/thou" speech? (think opening of the Sil...)

2. Feanor has spoken with this being before ... and he's not a nice being, either ...

[Serenoli]

Melkor, perhaps?

[Rían]

Yes - making a deal with - oh, rats, don't have my Sil with me - was it Gwindor? Whose wife was killed but he didn't know, and Morgoth said he'd reunite Gwindor with her, which means he'll get killed. Moral - don't deal with Morgoth! :eek:

Your go :)

[Radagast The Brown]

Eh, Rian, are you talking about Sauron and Gorlim? :)

[Rían]

whoops, my bad - sorry, that's right, Rad! :o

Well, Ainu-type baddie and guy with a name starting with G! They're all the same! :D

*goes in search of her brain*

[Rían]

Oh, I don't know who should go now - I meant Sauron but got mixed up with Morgoth (I've been reading First Age stuff lately) - so either one of you guys go :) - whoever gets here first, Rad or Serenoli :)

[Serenoli]

[Valandil]

good and sick with hunger is maddening. I could eat anything in the
wide world now, /_o_/h_u_s/_n/_n_/- but not an apple!"

A Dwarf of course!... was it Balin?

[Serenoli]

All correct Valandil and Earniel, except: No, good.

Speaker not Balin, but, of course a dwarf. Corrected version:

"I hope I never smell the smell of apples again! My tub was full of it. /_o/ smell /a_p_e_/ everlastingly when you can scarcely move and are /_o_d/ and sick with hunger is maddening. I could eat anything in the wide world now, /_o_/h_u_s/_n/_n_/- but not an apple!"

[Sister Golden Hair]

"I hope I never smell the smell of apples again! My tub was full of it. To smell apples everlastingly when you can scarcely move and are cold and sick with hunger is maddening. I could eat anything in the wide world now, for hours on end- but not an apple!"

Is this Thorin?

[Count Comfect]

Fili

[Serenoli]

SGH, you got the quote correct.

CC, Fili it is.

[Count Comfect]

Then let SGH go. I won't be near a computer all weekend.

[Midge]

If you fall, other things will find you first. But I know whither you are going and if you come there, and if you ??? there, there I will find you, if I can. Now I am leading you to ??? ??? in Doriath. Would you rather be a ??? ??? when I ??? ?

[Valandil]

"If you fail, other things will find you first. But I know
whither you are going, and if you come there, and if you
remain there, there I will find you, if I can. For I am
leading you to King Thingol in Doriath. Would you not
rather be a King's guest than a thrall?"

Beleg Strongbow?

[Sister Golden Hair]

Here's what we have so far:

"If you /_a_l,/ other things will find you first. But I know
whither you are going, and if you come there, and if you
remain there, there I will find you, if I can. For I am
/_e_d_n_/ you to King Thingol in Doriath. Would you not
rather be a King's guest than a thrall?"

Speaker is not Beleg.

[Radagast The Brown]

'wail'?

[Valandil]

feeding? :p

(is the hearer a turkey?) :D

[Count Comfect]

fail, sending

Turin?

(unexpected access, yay... this hotel has wireless internet)

[Valandil]

'call'?

[Sister Golden Hair]

"wail" and "sending" are correct.

The speaker is not Turin.

Very funny Val. :p ;)

[Valandil]

(I'm having the doggonediggest time replying to this thread! This is Try #3! :confused:


Very funny Val. :p ;)

Thanks. I hope Rian sees it! :D

Was the speaker... Morwen??

[Curubethion]

Yeah, I think it's Morwen.

[Sister Golden Hair]

The speaker is Morwen.

Your turn Val.

"I will tell you the tale of Tinuviel, in brief-

and there are none now, except Elrond, that remember
it aright as it was told of old. It is a fair tale, though it

Surely Aragorn?

All good Serenoli - your turn. :)

"Beware! Small love has the proud son of MÃ*riel _v_r/_a_/ for the children
of Indis. ... "

[Count Comfect]

ever had...
...Now he has...

[Rían]

... and he has his father in his hand.
It will not be long before he drives you ? from Túna!

(I keep seeing "fresh from Tuna" :eek: - oooh, that name!!!!!)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

forth.

S: Ulmo?

[Serenoli]

So far, all correct. It stands now as:

"Beware! Small love has the proud son of MÃ*riel ever had for the children
of Indis. Now he has /_e_o_e/_r_a_/,/and he has his father in his hand.
It will not be long before he drives you forth from Túna!"

Speaker not Ulmo. Hint: The speaker does not tell the words directly to his hearers, it goes rather indirectly. Identify the person who first said them, because the names of the people who reported what he/she said are unknown.

[Valandil]

'become great'?

Melkor?

[Rían]

(that rumor-spreader! :mad: )

[Serenoli]

Both Val and Rian are correct. So its now Val's turn... sadly Rian does not get any credit for identifying him as a rumor-monger!

[Rían]

:D :D

We await your quote, Valsters!

[Valandil]

Rian - did you see my one "joke" on the previous page? Answering SGH's quote? :D

OK...

Very good Eärniel - just a couple words incorrect (bolded) :)

[Rían]

Rian - did you see my one "joke" on the previous page? Answering SGH's quote? :D Yes, it was great! :D :D

I made a comment about it, but that was when Entmoot was acting up and I think it got lost :mad:

Opening 3 words - "You et food"? ;) (obviously the two dashes in the second word were an error ;) )

I believe the 4th word is Gandy, or something like it ;) (perhaps Mithrandir?)

[Radagast The Brown]

"...a curious explorer of the small: weeds, wild things/, and/c_i_d_s_/folk."

[littleadanel]

"childish" ?

[Count Comfect]

Just a stab in the dark - is this spoken by Saruman?

[Valandil]

Good work while I was away - let me update:

"You/_e_t /_o_d/Mithrandir, as is your way. I know well enough that you have become a curious explorer of the small: weeds, wild things, and childish folk. Your time is your own to spend, if you have nothing worthier to do; and/_o_r/_r_e_d_/you /_a_/ make as you please. But to me the/_a_s/are too/_a_k/_o_/w_n_e_e_s'/_a_e_/, and I have no time for the s_m_l_s/of/_e_s_n_s."

Saruman is indeed the correct speaker. :)

[Count Comfect]

went?

your...you may make... days...

[Valandil]

'went' is not correct - your others are. :)

[Serenoli]

too dark for wanderers' tales...?

[Serenoli]

An afterthought...

your friends you may make as you please?

[Valandil]

All guesses there are correct Serenoli - the only words left are the two at the beginning and the two at the end.

[Midge]

second word: left?

[Elanor]

You jest, Lord Mithrandir...

I have no time for the simples of peasants

This is in Unfinished tales.

[Valandil]

Elanor - you are correct. Your turn! :)

[Elanor]

This is funner when you get to be the one who picks the quote!

the whole and /_r_b_t_r_/t_/i_s/_l_r_.

[Elanor]

Everything is right except "these", "seen", and "the many".

[Valandil]

"This is your /m_n_t_e_s_;
and /_a_h/ of you shall find /_o_t_i_e_/ herein,
amid the /_e_i_n/ that I set before you,
all those things which it amy seem that he
himself /_e_i_e_/ or added. And thou, Melkor,
wilt discover all the secret thoughts of thy mind,
and wilt preceive that they are but a part of
the whole and /_r_b_t_r_/t_/i_s/_l_r_."

S: Eru?

[Elanor]

I assume "amy" and "preceive" are typos, so everything's good so far. You're quick! And you're right about the speaker.

[Valandil]

Yes on the typoes. (late here - that's my excuse :) ) And thanks... practice, practice, practice! :p

"This is your /m_n_t_e_s_;
and each of you shall find contained herein,
amid the /_e_i_n/ that I set before you,
all those things which it may seem that he
himself devised or added. And thou, Melkor,
wilt discover all the secret thoughts of thy mind,
and wilt perceive that they are but a part of
the whole and /_r_b_t_r_/ to its /_l_r_."

[Serenoli]

design?

[Radagast The Brown]

"tributary to its glory"

[Count Comfect]

monotheism?

I doubt that's it, but it actually fits mOnOtHeIsM. :p

[Rían]

"monotheism" - LOL!

Something Eru believes in, though ... :D

I thought the first word was something like "minstrelry" ... ?

[Elanor]

"design", "tributary to its glory", and "minstrelsy" are all right. So it's RÃ*an's turn, I guess.

Eru to the Ainur:
"...This is your minstrelsy;
and each of you shall find contained herein,
amid the design that I set before you,
all those things which it may seem that he
himself devised or added. And thou, Melkor,
wilt discover all the secret thoughts of thy mind,
and wilt perceive that they are but a part of
the whole and tributary to its glory."

I love this quote. :)

[Rían]

yes, I love it too!

OK, here goes:

[Count Comfect]

The man has come! Behold, people of the Eador and F_t_e_s of men, the man has come!

Grrr, I can just feel that that isn't man, but I can't think what it is...

[-elfearz-]

i think man should be day...and that it's "behold people of the eldar and the fathers of men"

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

In which case I guess Fingon is the speaker.

[Rían]

elfearz!!!! Nice to see you! :) And of course, you got it right, you quote-meister, you! :D And TD got the speaker - Fingon the stud-muffin - er, Fingon the valiant's battle-cry when he heard the forces of Gondolin were coming to his aid in the Nirnaeth. This is a few pages before the quote in TD's siggy.

You got the last bit, TD, so it's your go :)

[Elanor]

Darn, I missed the whole thing. Oh well, next one?

[-elfearz-]

"The legs of men will lag on a rough road, while a dwarf goes on, be the burden twice his own weight, faster/_o_o_i_/!/'

*glares at that last word* :p...Speaker=Gimli?

PS: Hi Rian!! Good to see you too :D

[-elfearz-]

Boromir! :D

Only now I'm not sure about the speaker. I have a feeling it may be Aragorn.
Blah :p

[Elanor]

I think it's "master" not "faster"

[-elfearz-]

I think you're right, in which case Gimli would be the speaker, and (to clarify, coz I've posted this meaningless thing) it would be your go if the rest is all correct :)

[Elanor]

Don't be hasty, Elanor. :o Is it right, TD?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

It is. Your go.

[Elanor]

ok, here it is. I tried to make it shorter but it insisted on staying long...

Despair, or folly? It is not despair, not despair as only you those who
see the end _e_o_d/_l_/d_u_t./_e/_o/_o_. Is it wisdom to recognise
_e_e_s_t_,when all other courses have been _e_g_e_, though as folly it may
appear to those who cling to false hope. Well, let folly be our cloak, a veil
_e_o_e/the eyes of the enemy! For he is very wise, and w_i_h_
all _h_n_s to a nicety in the scales of his malice. But the only measure
that he knows is desire, desire for power; and to be/_u_g_s/_l_/h_a_t_.
Into his/_e_r_/the thought will not enter that one will refuse it, that
having the Ring he may seek to destroy it. If he seek this, he shall
put him out of reckoning.

S: Elrond? or perhaps Gandalf... but one of them!

Now I have done the hard part, the rest of you may complete it... :rolleyes:

[Rían]

...beyond all doubt. We do not.

?, weighed

weighs all things

[Valandil]

Despair, or folly? It is not despair, not despair as only you those who
see the end beyond all doubt. We do not. Is it wisdom to recognise
necessity, when all other courses have been weighed, though as folly it may
appear to those who cling to false hope. Well, let folly be our cloak, a veil
before the eyes of the enemy! For he is very wise, and weighs
all things to a nicety in the scales of his malice. But the only measure
that he knows is desire, desire for power; and so he judges all hearts.
Into his heart the thought will not enter that one will refuse it, that
having the Ring he may seek to destroy it. If we seek this, we shall
put him out of reckoning.

[Serenoli]

Reading the whole thing again... I suppose it should be 'It is wisdom' not 'Is it wisdom'.

and the whole second sentence makes no sense whatsoever now. alternative:
'It is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt'

that makes some sense...

[Count Comfect]

I wonder if it is "we" make seek to destroy it.

[Elanor]

Very close, Valandil! SGH's and CC's corrections are correct. There is one more thing:

"... that _/_ refuse it,"

So I just need that word and a conclusive guess on the speaker.

[Count Comfect]

any will refuse it?

Gandalf?

[Elanor]

Correct. Your go, Count.

[Count Comfect]

Ahkay.

So far I have:

By our _a_o_r/_h_/w_l_/f_l_/o_/t_e/_a_t/are still restrained, and the terror of Morgul kept at bay; and thus alone are _e_c_ and _r_e_o_/m_i_t_i_e_ in the lands behind us, b_l_a_k of the wise. But if the passages of the river should be won, what then?

As for speaker, I'm guessing... Boromir?

[Count Comfect]

Everything there is correct (inc. speaker) except "wise"

[Valandil]

"Believe not that in the land of Gondor the blood of Númenor is spent, nor all
its pride and dignity forgotten. By our labour the wild folk of the East are
still restrained, and the terror of Morgul kept at bay; and thus alone are peace and /_r_e_o_/ maintained in the lands behind us, /b_l_a_k/ of the west. But if the passages of the river should be won, what then?"

[Midge]

definitely 'peace and freedom' grrrrr.... but what is that other word?

[Count Comfect]

everything is correct except "labour"

That leaves:

"Believe not that in the land of Gondor the blood of Númenor is spent, nor all
its pride and dignity forgotten. By our /_a_o_r/ the wild folk of the East are
still restrained, and the terror of Morgul kept at bay; and thus alone are peace and freedom maintained in the lands behind us, /b_l_a_k/ of the west. But if the passages of the river should be won, what then?" (S: Boromir already guessed)

[-elfearz-]

edited coz I can't read...I thought you meant the speaker wasn't Boromir for a second :p

[-elfearz-]

Not "light"...
The rest is good though :)

[Sister Golden Hair]

"rings" ?

Is the speaker Gandalf?

Can't seem to figure out that one word. :rolleyes:

[Rían]

yeah, I'm stuck on both those words - that smaller one is really irritating - it's something like "splinter", isn't it? oh wait, SGH said "rings" - that's prob. right. That long one is weird because it's all vowels!

[-elfearz-]

Yes to rings and yes to Gandalf :)
*checks the long word for mistakes....nope all the vowels are in their proper places* ;)
You'll kick yourselves when you get it - it's a common word :p

[Rían]

oh, DUH! :rolleyes:

[-elfearz-]

Yep!
Your go RÃ*an :)

This is Thingol.

[Rían]

yes to all, including your edit. Just one word (it's a name, and if your knowledge of the Sil is bad, you're gonna have trouble!) and the speaker left.

[Rían]

oops, SGH snuck in a post while I was typing - you got the name, SGH! And it's Thingol the twit, right :D

Your go :)

[-elfearz-]

hehehe I figured it was a name :p
And I was hoping SGH would fill in the blanks so I could pinch her back
...and she did! *pinches SGH* ;)

This has mistakes...but here goes:

"Y_o_r/oaths of faith to me you may break, but I must hold
my word. Yet if there be any on whom the shadow of
our curse has not yet fallen, I should find at least
a few to follow me, and should you go hence as a beggar
that is thrust from the gates."

Is the first word "your"?
And is it Theoden?

[Sister Golden Hair]

The first word is "Your". Sorry about the typo.

Here's what you have so far;

"Your oaths of faith to me you may break, but I must hold
my /_o_d/. Yet if there be any on whom the shadow of
our curse has not yet fallen, I should find at least
a few to follow me, and should /_o_/go hence as a beggar
that is thrust from the/_a_e_."

Speaker is not Theoden.

[-elfearz-]

Oh of course..it's from the Sil :p I must actually read that from start to finish one of these days!

...and should now go hence?
and must hold my bond?

[Sister Golden Hair]

Oh of course..it's from the Sil :p I must actually read that from start to finish one of these days!

...and should now go hence?
and must hold my bond?Yep, it's from the Sil.

The word "now" is incorrect. Everything else is good. :)

[-elfearz-]

...should not?

There are only so many words that can fit there and manage to make vague sense :p

No idea about that pesky last word though!

[Elanor]

Sounds like one of the sons of Feanor...
Is there a typo? Is it "thrust from the table"?

[Sister Golden Hair]

Sounds like one of the sons of Feanor...
Is there a typo? Is it "thrust from the table"?One of the sons of Feanor? :eek: those are fighting words. :D

"thrust" is correct and so is "not".

Just need a speaker. :)

[Elanor]

so "table" is right?

[Rían]

hmm, now WHO could that speaker be ... ? ;)

Let's see - perhaps FINROD? :D

[Count Comfect]

thrust forth from the "gates" - Finrod as he goes with Beren?

[Sister Golden Hair]

thrust forth from the "gates" - Finrod as he goes with Beren?All good. Yes it's that stud muffin Finrod. :D

[Count Comfect]

*Sigh* does that make it my turn? I need to stop poaching those 1-word-unknowns and let people who actually figure out difficult things a chance.

All correct except "whack"

[-elfearz-]

i dunno, shock..?

[Elanor]

Yes, that's it. So your turn now. I guess that was an easy one :D

[-elfearz-]

:D
Easier, for me anyway, than anything involving 12-letter names from the Sil ;). That would certainly have had me stumped!

I was thinking that "whack" sounded very un-Tolkienesque :p

I'll have a quote up shortly :)

[-elfearz-]

[-elfearz-]

:) All right so far

[Valandil]

'in your mind' and 'behind'?

[-elfearz-]

Yep, and yep. :)
Speaker?

[Valandil]

Was that Gandalf?

[Valandil]

BTW - I was hesitant on answering speaker, because this game has picked up again, but I've got to get off to work and cannot post.

So - if I was all correct, someone else may take it. :) If I was, and nobody does, I'll post when I'm able.

[-elfearz-]

Not Gandalf...:p

[Radagast The Brown]

Faramir?

[-elfearz-]

'may' is the only incorrect word. :)

"Not at my age. Our vengeance on Smaug I bequeath (?) to you and your sons. But I am tired of poverty and the scorn of Men. I go to see what I can find."

Ah, rumors! The wonderful "I heard...." :D

"And I heard she pushed him in, and he pulled her in after him"

Let's see, it was someone in the crowd - was it Ted?

[Count Comfect]

Yes, Ted Sandyman it was...

And the quote is correct.

Your turn.

[Rían]

"Y_t/_l_/t_e/_l_e_/a_e/_i_l_n_/t_/e_d_r_/t_i_/c_a_c_/,/i_/b_/i_/

[Rían]

everything correct but "or" - here's the updated version:

"Yet all the Elves are/_i_l_ng/to/e_d_r_/t_i_/c_a_c_/,/i_/b_/i_/
the/_o_e_/o_/Sauron may/_e/_r_k_n/, and the/_e_r/_f/_i_/
d_m_n_o_/be taken away for ever."

[Midge]

Yet all the Elves are willing to endure this chance, if by it the /_o_e_ / of Sauron may be broken, and the fear of his dominion be taken away for ever.

It sounds kind of funny, but could it be "the bowel of Sauron"?
Or the "tower of Sauron"?

Speaker is Elrond?

[Rían]

NO, it's definitely not "bowel" :D and it's not "tower", but "tower" is VERY close...

And speaker is not Elrond, but you're in the right general area ...

[Sister Golden Hair]

"power"

Galadriel?

[Midge]

Glorfindel?

[Rían]

"power" and Glor are right, so it's your go, Midge, since you got the last element correct :)

(btw, welcome to Entmoot! :) )

[Midge]

Sweet-- My first one!

Ok, here it is: T_m_ /i_ /p_e_s_n_./ W_ /m_s_ /h_s_e_ /s_u_h,/ _o_d. /L_t /_s /_e_v_ /t_e_e /_i_d /_o_k /_o /_h_i_/ f_n_i_s./ _r /_e_ /u_ b_n_ /t_e_ /a_d /_a_e /_h_m /_o /_ h_ /k_n_.

"Time is pressing. We must hasten south, Lord. Let us leave these kind folk to their /f_n_i_s/. Or let us bind them and take them to the king."

[Valandil]

'funkies'?? :confused: :p :D

[Lotesse]

fannies? ;) :D (a subtleism on the pants game :rolleyes: )

[Rían]

funnies? (the Sunday comics section)

[Valandil]

Actually - I'm starting to think it's 'wild folk'... in which case 'fannies' probably fits bestest! :p

[Rían]

I thought the word might be "fantasies" - is it a typo? :confused:

[Rían]

I just checked the quote, and it IS "wild" (don't worry, Midge, we all make mistakes, even the old-timers! :) ), and the missing word is done correctly. Lotesse is the closest.

[Valandil]

Oh... how 'bout 'fancies'? Can't think of the speaker though... :confused:

[-elfearz-]

It sounds like it could be one of the riders who was with Eomer when he ran into Aragorn, Legolas & Gimli...think his name was Eothain :confused:

Could be wayyyy off though

[Midge]

All right. Elfearz- you got it. Sorry I wasn't answering. I was sleeping. Got finals today!

Argh - no time - gotta go! :(

All right except the first "to".

So:

"In which _o /_o_b_/ you will /_e_/ our good /_o_t_n_/ and our hope.
For /_m_g_n_n_/w_r/_e/_a_/l_t/_o_s_/w_r/,/_e_i_v_n_/

for he that strikes the first blow, if he strikes it hard enough,
may need to strike no more."

"In which no doubt you will set our good fortune and our hope.

that he has no time to waste;for he that strikes the first blow,
if he strikes it hard enough, may need to strike no more."

[-elfearz-]

"In which no doubt you will _e_ our good fortune and our hope.
For /_m_g_n_n_/war he _a_ let loose war, _e_i_v_n_
that he has no time to waste;for he that strikes the first blow,

that he has no time to waste; for he that strikes the first blow,
if he strikes it hard enough, may need to strike no more."

I'm stumped if that one word is not "perceiving" But that doesn't fit, does it? :confused: :)

[-elfearz-]

It's not perceiving...sorry - the word was right in my original post, and in my edit of my answer to your post (does that make sense? :confused: ). But when I first replied to your post I left in the c you'd put there when you tried perceiving.

And everything else is right except "may"...

Um, in short:

"In which no doubt you will see our good fortune and our hope.
For imagining war he _a_ let loose war, _e_i_v_n_
that he has no time to waste; for he that strikes the first blow,
if he strikes it hard enough, may need to strike no more."

:p

Yes, yes and yes. Your turn :)

It is from the Sil. Well done on your quote solving abilities. Only two words wrong. :)

Why thank you :D
..forgot, and into :confused:

[Sister Golden Hair]

Yeppers. Now go peek in the book for the speaker before Val and the others beat you to it. :D

[-elfearz-]

:D
I might let them beat me to it...
I won't be home for the next 48 hours, so I won't be able to check answers...and besides, Valandil and the others solved all of the last quote before I cut in with the speaker, so it would only be equitable ;)

Obviously one of Feanor's sons... maybe Maglor?

[Rían]

or perhaps "endure the threat of his scorn" instead of "ensure the threat of him shorn"?

I"m having trouble with this one ...

[Midge]

the mastery of thy power...

you're right...this is a toughie!

(actually, RÃ*an, now that you mention it, i am not even sure that "ensure" is a word!)

[Midge]

could it be "thy maker s_l_ shall endure..." or something?

for some reason, the word "sold" keeps popping into my head! ugh...

[Midge]

"unless thou wills to me the mastery of thy power."

[Count Comfect]

"thy naked self"

The Nazgul King?

[Serenoli]

Oh, dear! After reading all these, I am getting confused myself!

Ok, here's the quote as it stands so far. There might be mistakes, so I apologize in advance! :o Nice to know I produced a toughie, though! :)

"T_e_e/_v_r_a_t_n_l_/thy naked self shall endure the/t_r_e_t/of his
scorn/,/_i_r_e_/by his eyes, unless thou/_i_l_/to me the mastery of thy/_o_e_."

Oh, and its not the Nazgul King...

[Sister Golden Hair]

"There everlastingly thy naked self shall endure the torment of his
scorn/,/_i_r_e_/by his eyes, unless thou wills to me the mastery of thy/_o_e_."

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

S: Luthien?

[Sister Golden Hair]

The last word is "power".

[Midge]

nah, I already tried it...

[Count Comfect]

lover?
