trivia game

[Tar Melian]

Wow! It's been a whole day waiting to get back on the board to give this answer! This is Legolas talking to Gimli, Merry, and Pippin in Minas Tirith...

"A wonder they are to me and a trouble to my heart."

New one:

"A fool, but an honest fool, you remain, Perigrin Took."

[Balthamos]

that was from the Palantir, the next sentance is 'Wiser ones might have done worse in such a pass.'

My quote:
'Aye, and what it knows!' said a second voice.

[Finduilas]

At once four men came striding though the fern from different directions.

Next:
Before long they set off.

[Hannah 3]

Clue? That one's very hard...

[Finduilas]

The Two Towers
First half

[Finduilas]

Has everyone just given up on this one? even with the two clues I gave?

[Tar Melian]

I give!

[Finduilas]

Imagine this, I have to answer my own trivia questions
The next sentence is
Treebeard carried the hobbits in his arms as on the previous day.

Next:
I'll cut your throat.

It's also from the Two Towers.

[Lief Erikson]

Sorry for not posting here, I've been gone for a week. Unfortunately I don't know what this one's from. Findaluin, why do you always make yours so hard? Harder isn't necessarily always better (in my opinion).

[Finduilas]

I gave a clue!!!!

Here's another.
It's from the second half of the book.

[Tar Melian]

Ditto! Believe it or not , I do have another life other than looking up hard quotes! I've been too busy to look this one up without any ideas, BUT I'm going to sit down in a little bit and do just that!

[Tar Melian]

After the second hint, it was pretty easy...this is
Frodo to Gollum as he struggles with Sam at being caught.....

Gollum collasped and went as loose as wet string.

New one!

"He should have been borne in honor into this city," he said.

[Balthamos]

from The Houses of Healing, next sentance "He has well repaid my trust, for if Elrond had not yielded to me neither of you would have set out..."

my qoute: 'I am,' said Aragorn.
Fron the Fellowship of the Ring




added later--- I have no idea why I gave you this. What was running through my head at the time... anyway greatest apologies to everyone :) I would refuse to answer one like that. Anyway, I could have sworn I gave you much more hints than that.... oh well. You guys are amazing :)

[Finduilas]

You are nasty. That one does NOT jump out at me with a location!

[Lief Erikson]

:lol:

[Finduilas]

This is the sort of quote I give you lot?

[Lief Erikson]

Quite difficult and a little nasty because of that. That doesn't mean that sinchy is better, just a little moderation between that and impossible is preferable (In my opinion).

So this is from the Fellowship of the Ring, is it? I'll have to look for it tomorrow. Right now I can hardly think, much less search.

[Tar Melian]

Fin, I can't believe you're stumped! Oh, well.....
SOMEone has borrowed my FotR book, and so I can't look this up. BUT, it seems like Aragorn says something short like this at Elronds house when Borimir is first introduced and meets Aragorn, and he doesn't believe who Aragorn claims to be. Will someone look there?

[Lief Erikson]

Sorry, I couldn't find it on first glance and then came school. I'll take a second run through soon . . .

[Tar Melian]

That's OK, I've got my book back and found it. Aragorn is talking to Frodo about going with him in the company of 9....

"And the Sword-that-was-broken shall be reforged ere I go out to war."

New one:

"...Then you will see Gandalf the Grey uncloaked."

[Lief Erikson]

He took a step towards the hobbit, and he seemed to grow tall and menacing; his shadow filled the little room.

And on to the next!

He sprang to his feet and issued some orders. At once the men who were gathered round him broke up into small groups, and went off this way and that, vanishing quickly into the shadows of the rocks and trees. Soon only Mablung and Damrod remained.

[Tar Melian]

"Now you, Frodo and Samwise, will come with me and my guards," said Faramir.

New one:

Very tall he was, and his beard was long, and he was grey and old, save that his eyes were keen as stars; and he looked at them and bowed and said, "All is now ready."

[Lief Erikson]

That was a good one!

Then Cirdan led them to the Havens, and there was a white ship lying, and upon the quay beside a great grey horse stood a figure robed all in white awaiting them.

And here's the next:

A brief vision he had of swirling cloud, and in the midst of it towers and battlements, tall as hills, founded upon a mighty mountainthrone above immeasurable pits; great courts and dungeons, eyeless prisons sheer as cliffs, and gaping gates of steel and adamant: and then all passed. :D

[Finduilas]

If I can find ROTK I'll answer this one <goes scrambling madly around the room searching>

There it is!

Towers fell and mountains slid; walls crumbled and melted, crashing down; vast spires of smoke and spouting steam went billowing up, up, until they toppled like an overwhelming wave, and its wild crest curled and came foaming down upon the land.


Next
They have many ways of gathering news.

[Lief Erikson]

grrr :mad:

[Finduilas]

ROTK

[Elysha]

Humph.

[Tar Melian]

Pooey!

[Finduilas]

Minas Tirith

[Tar Melian]

This is Beregond speaking to Pippin:

"And the Lord Denethor is unlike other men: he sees far."

New one:

Upon it sat a man so bent with age that he seemed almost a dwarf; but his white hair was long and thick and fell in great braids from beneath a thin golden circlet set upon his brow.

[Finduilas]

In the centre upon his forehead shone a single white diamond.


Next
If ever I lay hands on you again, you'll be sorry for it.

[Tar Melian]

Two Towers

[Lief Erikson]

Finally something doable! Congradulations, Fin! But how come the hint is coming from Tar Melian?

[Tar Melian]

My hint WAS from me! I gave it apparently the same moment Fin gave the answer! When I went back to check my post, I never saw Fin's answer...weird! (That happened with me and Balthmos earlier.)

[Tar Melian]

Fin, could you tell us what book?

[Finduilas]

The Two Towers, Second book

[Tar Melian]

Fin, I have been looking for your quote for days, I thought it would be an easier one to find...wrong! Please tell us the answer, and let's move on...if there is anybody out there interested in still playing?

[Finduilas]

Ok.
Presently, groping and fumbling in the dark, they found that the opening on the left was blocked: either it was a blind, or else some great stone had fallen in the passage.


Here's a new one:
Sam sat down heavily with a red face.

Clues right off: The Two Towers volume two.

[Finduilas]

Anyone still here? I did give a slightly easier quote this time.

[Balthamos]

when Faramir is talking to Frodo and Sam interrupts.

next sentance: "Faramir turned to Frodo again."

(btw I'm sorry about my impossible quote everybody :) I haven't got any idea why I gave it to you! and I could have sworn I gave you what book it was from ;) )

my quote:

" 'As you go down to the water,' he said, 'you will find that the trees will fail, and you will come to a barren country.' "

I'm not sure if I should give any hints... It's not very difficult compared to some I've seen you people do! But I'll be online in case you do :)

[Finduilas]

There the River flows in stony vales amid high moors, until at last after many leagues it comes to the tall island of the Tindrock, that we call Tol Brandir.

Next:
Everything packed and labelled?

[Finduilas]

Here's a clue (providing that somebody is still reading this):
It's from the Fellowship, first book.

[Lief Erikson]

I was sure it was in the Fellowship of the Rings when I first heard it, and I did look. I'll have to double check, I was about to start school when I last look, so my time was rather limited. At least this one wasn't impossible! :) Good work! :D

[Finduilas]

Thanks

[Lief Erikson]

:D

[Finduilas]

First Chapter

[Lief Erikson]

:cool:

Although that wasn't completely necessary.

"Everything," they answered.

Here's the next one: "We make good armour and keen swords, but we cannot again make mail or blade to match those that were made before the dragon came. Only in mining and building have we surpassed the old days."

[Finduilas]

You should see the waterways of Dale, Frodo, and the mountains, and the pools!

Next
Once he was as great as his fame made him.

[Lief Erikson]

Talking about Saruman, maybe? Oh well, I'll look for it later.

Where's Tar Melian, by the way?

[Tar Melian]

I just got back from a trip, but I've still got to unpack, check the mail, bla, bla, bla...

I'll try to help on this one later on tonite!

[Finduilas]

Will be waiting for your question, eagerly.

[dunedain lady]

I know that's about Saruman, and I know the exact conversation it's from...Gandalfs talking... but... where....is...it!?!?

[Hannah 3]

hello! this is Balthamos/andustar but logged on to my sister's name :) my internet connection hasn't been working for a while so I couldn't come here :(

Anyway Aragorn says that, in Flotsam and Jetsam, next sentance: his knowledge was deep and his thought was subtle...

a quote from my sister (hannah 3): The morning may bring new councel.

[Finduilas]

Will work on finding it.(Not today however)

[Hannah 3]

(still no time to log out of my sister's nick, but it's still me!!! ;) )
well I hope you do! I left the sentance blank and walked out of the room, and now my sister's forgotten where that one came from... :rolleyes: sorry!

[Finduilas]

I know the sentence, but do you think I can find it?

[Tar Melian]

This is Gandalf speaking of the dead orcs at Helm's Deep. Next sentence is: "In the afternoon the King's company prepared to depart."

new one:

"You left the East wind to me....but I will say naught of it."

[Finduilas]

'That is as it should be.'Said Aragorn.

Next
"Nor I." said Gandalf.

Fellowsip

[Balthamos]

Council of Elrond, Elrond has just said 'I will not take the Ring to wield it'

my quote: Legolas was some way ahead. Suddenly gave a cry and the others came running towards him.


btw, do you like my new sig?

[Balthamos]

sorry, somehow my message got posted twice so i'm editing this second one

[Finduilas]

Nice Sig.

[Hannah 3]

(((yes, yes, i know wrong account but I just have to keep saying 'please will you let me on please just a little tiny bit' so no time to logon/off!!!)))

thank you. Do you need a hint?

[Finduilas]

How about telling me what book it's in.

[Balthamos]

okay, it's in the Two Towers

[Finduilas]

Found it!
"We have already overtaken some of those that we were hunting," he said.


Next:
"Would you have my plain answer?"

[Balthamos]

hint. I haven't got a hope of answering that one.

[Finduilas]

Return of the King

[Tar Melian]

I love this part! This is Faramir talking to Eowyn at the Houses of Healing.

"I would."
"Then, Eowyn of Rohan, I say to you that you are beautiful..."

Next:

"Do not throw your life away rashly or in bitterness," he said.

[easterlinge]

You guys have been playing since 2000... last year? Wow.

This one's easy. Can't quote exactly though. I don't have the book with me. Something like:
"Your father loves you, and he will remember it ere the end"

[Finduilas]

Found it:
You will be needed here, for other things than war.


Next:
Tom Bombadil recommended it.

[Tar Melian]

Fin, I only have ROTK right now, and I don't think it's in there. Right?

[Finduilas]

Right. It's in Fellowship.

[Tar Melian]

Shucks! My copy won't be back until Tues. evening. Sorry, I can't help!

[Finduilas]

Lets see if anyone else can get it before then.

[Balthamos]

I got it. Yesterday, but I couldn't post. (But I cheated ;) I looked up Tom Bombadil in the index after giving up finding it in the normal way :) . Like one of my first quotes to you ppl was a very difficult one but it had a name in it not mentioned much in the book, so someone did the obvious thing...)

It's At The Sugn if the Prancing pony, next sentance is Frodo saying "I expect it's homelike enough inside."

My quote! ' "As you will," said Frodo.'
before you go crazy I will tell you it's in the Two Towers :) No, I didn't mean to give you that with no hints...

[Finduilas]

That was a nasty, but it's Frodo talking to Faramir:

Even the Elves do likewise at need, and blindfolded we crossed the borders of fair Lothlorien.


Next:
The Lords of Gondor are come!

[Tar Melian]

Thanks, Fin! Since this is in ROTK, I could find it!

"Let all leave this land, or yield them up!"

next:

"...But all worthy things that are in peril as the world now stands, those are my care...."

[Finduilas]

And for my part, I shall not wholly fail of my task, though Gondor should perish, if anything passes through this night that can still grow fair or bear fruit and flower again in days to come.


Next:
This is the end at last.

[Tar Melian]

On Mount Doom doom shall fall. Farewell!

Next:

"...Say rather that you are overtaken with good fortune; for now you have a last chance."

[Finduilas]

Easy:
"If it be truly the last, I am glad," said Saruman; "for I shall be spared the trouble of refusing it again...

Have you got the other books back yet?

Next:
For Aragorn sends this message to you.

[Tar Melian]

Yes, I have Fellowship back, I just can't find TT. I had a hard time getting onto the site yesterday for some reason....

[Finduilas]

So did I. It wa SLOW! Seems to be normal today though.

[Tar Melian]

book is this quote from, Fin?

[Finduilas]

ROTK

[Tar Melian]

Legolas to Imrahil:
"...He does not wish to enter the city again at this time."

New one:
"I don't keep water in my pockets,"...

[Finduilas]

"We thought you had gone to find some," said Pippin, busy setting out the food, and cups.

Let me know when you find the Two Towers

Next:
But fear grew in me as I rode.

[Tar Melian]

found Two Towers yet, sorry. And I won't have time to look for your quote until tonite maybe...sorry again! :(

[Finduilas]

Not a problem.
Let me know when you do. Until then, I won't use it in the quotes game.

[Tar Melian]

to get time to sit a minute and think, but...easy enough...This is Gandalf speaking in "The council of Elrond":
"Ever as I came north I heard tidings of the Riders, and though I gained on them day by day, they were ever before me."

new one:

"It matters little who is the enemy, if we cannot beat off his attack,"...

[Finduilas]

Ill get to that one tomorrow. I just got back from a holiday and am clearing out my e-mail and other things (over 100 messages in 3 days).

[Tar Melian]

I found Two Towers, it was right under my nose!

[Finduilas]

Been there.
That happens all the time around here. For that matter, I can't find the computer desk right now (for all that I am sitting at it) :lol:

[Balthamos]

hint anyone? please? ;)

[Tar Melian]

it's in FOTR, Gandalf speaking.

[Tar Melian]

since I've checked in! Ok, since noone has guessed this I will tell....

This was Gandalf speaking after the The Company heard howling wind and "fell voices" as they tried to pass over Caradhras. The next line is: " 'But what can we do?' cried Pippin miserably."

[Finduilas]

Sorry to have dropped out of the game for a while, but between the computer and the computer desk, I've been having a lot of interesting times (ever tried balancing your keyboard on your lap while typing?).

[Balthamos]

So what are we working out now?

[Feanturi]

here try this one:

'The world changed, and a single momentof time was filled with an hour of thought'

Hint: if you need a hint it is in book four of the seven book series so i guess it would bee in the twin towers in the three book series, i think?

[Feanturi]

ooops i meant the TWO TOWERS. darn typoses

[ladyisme]

"At once he was aware that hearing was sharpened while sight was dimmed, but otherwise than in Shelob's lair."
That last line came from the last chapter in the Two Towers.

My sentence is "Do as you please in your madness, but let me first get down from this horse!"

(hint: this is also from The Two Towers)

[ladyisme]

OK since no one was able to find that one I'll tell you.
"I wish to see no eyes!" is the next line and it is in chapter seven of book three "The road to Isengard" on page 154.

Try this quote "Now I am wondering what can have happened."
You'll find this one in book one in "Fellowship of the Ring".

PS I'm sorry that I'm late in writing back.

[Amandil]

That's spoken by Frodo to Gildor in the Woody End, regarding Gandalf's absence.

Here's one:

'It has been guessed already...for there have been strange portents here of late.'

[Balthamos]

a hint :)
and if no one answers within a week or so, someone give us a new quote please :)

(yes! I'm back! and you thought you were rid of me forever... how deluded ;) )

[Finduilas]

I'm still here, but am trying to cut down on how much time I spend on the computer (currently about 8-12 hours a day).

[ladyisme]

"It has been guessed already,...for there have been strange portents here of late." was said by Ingold to Gandalf and Pippin in Book Five chapter one, Minas Tirith.

Next quote: "Pride and despair! Didst thou think that the eyes of the White Tower are blind?"

(hint: look in Return of the King)

[Finduilas]

Nay, I have seen more than thou knowest, Grey Fool.


Next
But I have found something very strange.
(Fellowship)

[ladyisme]

That last quote was spoken by Strider on the Last Bridge and the next sentence is "He held out his hand, and showed a single pale-green jewel."

here's your next fun challenge: "But we are envying Sam, not you."

(hint:see book two)

[andustar]

right.

next sentance is :
"If you have to go then it will be a punishment for any of us to be left behind, even in Rivendell"

spoken by Merry just after the Council of Elrond.
now, to repay the 'something very strange' which I searched hours for (unsuccessfuly), try and find:

"You must trust me."

from the Two Towers

(now what I really want is the 'Evil' face on ezboard right now ;) )

[Fat middle]

i'm not sure of this. what i've found is not a complete sentence...

"We must trust Master?" said Gollum doubtfully. in the forbidden pool.


have i fallen in your tramp? :) i'll wait for confirmation

[andustar]

WOW that is... very fast! you were not expected to remember that sentance!

yes that was it. But what do you mean, not a complete sentance?

[Fat middle]

complete sentence: fom dot to dot. "I will save you, but you must trust me." weren't so the rules? it's been a time since i last played this...

okey, now find this:
The pursuit would follow you and leave us in peace, I think. FOTR

[andustar]

hey, you're right! I'd swear it was a full sentance when I last looked at it! well, for a while I checked that part for my quote as a full sentance but couldn't find it, so... extra marks to you! ;) and sorry about that. :)

well anyway your quote was easy, next sentance is "It is you, Frodo, and that which you cear which brings us all in peril." Glorfindel, in Flight to the Ford after Frodo refuses to ride Asfaloth.

now find this:

'It is a great host and follows us hard,' said Aragorn.

Two Towers

not that difficult, I hope. At least, if you could find what I gave you before this is SO easy...

[Fat middle]

hurra!!:) in less than two minutes. And it's been a year since i last read LOTR. "They bring fire", said Theoden reaching to the Hornburg

now, try this:
"Or he will not slay thee in thy turn." ROTK

[andustar]

yup I foud it in less than one min !!!! although for a moment 'he will NOT slay thee' got me :)

next sentance
"He will bear thee away to the houses of lamentation, beyond all darkness, where thy fless shall be devoured ...(etc, I'm sure you get the idea)"

next, from Fellowship of the Ring:
"I wish we could get away!" said Merry

[Fat middle]

good try, but... i've found it!!:D
"Why doesn't Gandalf do something quick?" said Pippin
you had almost beaten me. in fact i had closed Iexplorer and preparing to go to bed when... wait, "get away..." it must be from Moria... and i was wrong!!! they hadn't get into yet:D but when i was opening the book my eyes were directly to that sentence.

and now:
The song ended and there was a burst of laughter and clapping.
FOTR

[Shanamir Duntak]

You guys are lucky I only have a french version, cause I'd be there too...

[juntel]

oh, shan, do the french version still have "Frodon" and "Bilbon" as names for "Frodo" and "Bilbo"? :D

(oh, and i can't participate in this game, since i have etext version... quite easy to do a search)

[andustar]

juntel- I hope you don't, that would take all the fun out of the game ;)

shan- I have a cuisin who would also want to play, except she speaks hebrew :D

no time to find the quote atm

[andustar]

okay, I confess myself completely BEATEN

:mad:

you SURE that's from the fellowship????????? if yes, I need a HINT! (or the answer, that would do just as well ;) )

[andustar]

hello?

[Finduilas]

This one has me temporarily stumped too (and I was halfway through the FR).

[andustar]

temporarily???? HAH I spent hours on that thing!!! someone, please please answer it!

[Finduilas]

Maybe Tomorrow. I just started college today. Talk about chaotic and nerve-wracking.

[Elanor the hobbit]

ick, so did I. I haven't found the quote yet, but I'll be looking.

[ringbearer]

This is my first try at this game...and if they are all this hard, it may be my last...but I found it! from "At the Sign of the Prancing Pony"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"They led their ponies under the arch, and leaving them standing in the yard they climbed up the steps."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I will try to find another stumper!

[ringbearer]

OK, for now an easy one from ROTK... I can't figure out how to enclose the quote in lines as others do, so I will just make it red.



"But I did not summon you,' said Aragorn, 'save only in wish.

[Melian]

Hmm....it's been awhile! Glad to see this thread still going on the new site.

Ringy, this is when Aragorn meets up with the Rangers. Next line is: "...My thoughts have often turned to you, and seldom more than tonight; yet I have sent no word..."

New one:

..."If I hear 'not allowed' much oftener,...I'm going to get angry."
ROTK

[Finduilas]

That was an easy one.
"Can't say as I'd be sorry to see it," said Robin lowering his voice.

Next:
You aren't fit to walk any further.
ROTK

[ladyisme]

"They shouldn't have let you walk at all; but you must forgive them." is the next line and it is from The Houses Of Healing.

Now try this from Return of the King:
"I also will come for I do not fear the dead."

[ringbearer]

"I hope that the forgotten people will not have forgotten how to fight,' said Gimli; 'for otherwise I see not why we should trouble them.'

Too easy! Try this...fromRotK

'What then would you have,' said Gandalf, 'if your will could have its way?'

[andustar]

easy. Next sentance:

"I would have things as they were in all the days of my life," answered Denethor, "and in the days (..)"

okay, find this:
"Very well," said Sam heavily.

Two Towers


btw to do quotes, write {QUOTE} (...) {/QUOTE} but with square brackets, or press the button that says 'quote' above the space you write your message in :)

[Finduilas]

You are evil. I just got off classes for the day. One class in an Intro to Mythology and one Beginning Latin today.

[ringbearer]

Got it!

'If it must be, let's get it over!' He took up the rope...'


OK...here goes Two Towers

'Its a lie!' hissed Gollum,

[Incanus]

"It's a lie!" hissed Gollum, and an evil light came into his eyes at the naming of Aragorn.

OK, now here's my sentence:

"Here is another riddle!" said Gimli.

It's from The Two Towers

[Finduilas]

But it needs the light of day and for that we cannot wait.



Next:
You are too hard now to slap!
FR

[andustar]

easy enough :)
next sentance "But there you are, Hobbits must stick together, especially Bagginses." Bilbo in Rivendell, having given Frodo the mithril coat.

now find this: Two Towers

"He has been much occupied."


Btw I notice that we now put the book immediately, not as a hint. Should we carry on doing this? or only with harder ones? or only at asking for a 'hint'?...

[ladyisme]

"Our orders came from Treebeard, who has taken over the management of Isengard." is the next line.

Now try this one:
"Most noble hobbit, it leaves me deep in your debt."
also from the Two Towers.

[andustar]

said by Gimli in Flotsam and Jetsam. Next sentance is

"Well I am going back into the open air, to see what the wind and sky are doing!" said Legolas.

find this:

"How many are there?" he thought.

Two Towers also.

((please tell me what you think about giving the book or not: I could have got "Most noble hobbit, it leaves me deep in your debt." without the book just as easily but there are many that I find impossible even WITH the book... what do you think? for instance the one I just gave, would you have preferred it with or without the hint?))

[andustar]

Need a hint?

[ringbearer]

Here it is...
'Thirty or forty from the tower at least, and a lot more than that from down below, I guess...

I think including the book is a good thing.

Try this from RotK...

Grond crawled on.

[andustar]

That actually occurs twice... :) also, I would try not to have names in your quotes; or at least only have common ones. There is an index you know, and Grond only has one page number... One of my very firs quotes when Trivia game was only just started was like yours, and I was very amazed at how quickly it was solved. On asking how, I was told they'd looked it up :rolleyes:

Anyway, the next (two) sentances are:Upon it's housing no fire would catch; and though now and then some great beast would go (...) and: The drums rolled wildly.


find this: fotr

Out east my knoowledge fails.

[Finduilas]

Tom is not master of Riders from the Black Land far beyond his country.


Next:
One river at a time!

[ringbearer]

Here it is...
We shall be fortunate indeed if we do not find the Last Bridge held against us.

Try this...
"It is as I feared."

[ringbearer]

Need a hint?

[ringbearer]

Unless someone answers this one, I must declare myself "the winner"!:D

[HOBBIT]

Is that from The scouring of the shire perhaps? If it is I have a pretty good idea where..or if not I have other guesses.

[ringbearer]

Not from "the Scouring of the Shire"., I have discovered this is in LOTR twice, though...either one will be excepted!!

I assume everyone has lost interest in the trivia game.:(

[Melian]

No, I'll never give up! (Esp. since I just popped in!) Yesss, ringbearerrrr, gives uss a hinnnt!:)

[ringbearer]

Ok....hints!

Fotr...AJItD (1st letters of chapter title)

TT...TKotGH (1st letters of chapter title)

There I have narrowed it down to chapters...someone will get it now!:D

[Melian]

I was looking in TT, but didn't expect it to be Wormtongue speaking to Theoden..."This wizard has bewitched you."

New one:

"So fear me not!"

[rashbold]

To those who do not know the meaning, i.e., translations of Gandalf's spells, here it is:

Annon edhellen, edro hi ammen!
Fennas nogothrim, lasto beth lammen!

Elvish gate, open now for us!
Doorway of the Dwarf-folk, listen to the words of my tongue!

Note: the hi is the lenited form of si "now"
ammen is a compound of an "for" and men "us"
beth is the lenited form of peth "word".


Naur an edraith ammen! Naur dan i ngaurhoth!

Fire [be] for the saving of us! Fire against the werewolf-host!

[Melian]

:( :( :( :(

[ringbearer]

Melian, here is your answer...(Faramir) "I do not ask you to tell me more."

Try this...

"So four of the company still remain..."

[andustar]

Right people, you all know the first thing I do when I get to Entmoot after a long break- revive the trivia thread! Sheesh, no one posts here unless I'm here! see the end of my post for that

rashbold, I assume you meant to post a new topic, not to reply :)

as for the quote itself... I'm thinking... haven't done this in months. lessee, probably in the Two Towers, am I right? hmm....

Ok, yes this is me. I think I'll put this at the end of all my posts today. I always seem to do this. I enthusiastically post loads every day for a while and then suddenly, I'm gone. I don't know why, it just happens. This time I had tried to stay away from the net altogether as I have important exams coming up in, er, two weeks... I even tried to not read (that lasted exactly six days before I gave up) but it doesn't work. So this is how it works with me. Sorry people. I won't be here for a while, if I can just manage to stay away :)

[FrodoFriend]

Got it!

Aragorn in The Passing of the Grey Company, Ch. 2 Book 5 :

'So four of the Company still remain,' said Aragorn. 'We will ride on together.'


How about this:

Out of the fire there spoke a commanding voice.

[FrodoFriend]

MWA. HA. HA. HA.

[andustar]

<leafs frantically through book> I WILL find this, I will....

[Thorongil]

Is this solely confined to Lotr?



Coz I'm about to give up on this one

[ringbearer]

Got it...from RotK...

"Begone, and trouble me no more!

I'll post a quote later, or someone else can!:D

[Play Girl]

Where in RotK?

[FrodoFriend]

Mount Doom.
On the mountain, Gollum tries to take the Ring from Frodo . . . Frodo stands up and does his "master" act, telling Gollum off.

[CardenIAntauraNauco]

I've got one...

here there is a grevious hurt and a heavy blow

[FrodoFriend]

"The arm that was broken has been tended with due skill, and it will mend in time, if she has the strength to live." Aragorn about Eowyn in the Houses of Healing.

Try this:

Sam sat tapping the hilt of his sword as if he were counting on his fingers, and looking up at the sky.

[Legolas_BowKing]

boo he said

[Findegil]

'It's very strange,' he murmured. 'The Monn's the same in the Shire and in Wilderland, or it ought to be....'

Sam is counting the day for he had lost count in Lorien. The scene is on the journey down the great river.

Here we go to the next one:
'Then lost it must be,' said Gimli. For what help is there to send thither, and how could it come there in time?'

Happy riddeling
Findegil

[azalea]

" 'I have no help to send, therefore I must go myself,' said Aragorn."

Book 5, ch. 2.

"We are lost in ruin and downfall, and there is no escape."

[Claenoic]

Frodo says that in ROTK, the Field of Cormallen. the next line is ' Well , Master, we could at least go further from this dangerous place here, from this Crack of Doom, if that's it's name.'

Do this and speak no more to me.

Hint: It's in ROTK.

[azalea]

Book V, The Siege of Gondor. Denethor spoke the line to Pippin and then said, "Farewell!"

"Gandalf held it up."

Hint: FotR.

[Wulažg]

Of course he was holding up the Ring after getting it from the fire.

"For nothing is evil in the beginning"

[Claenoic]

It looked to be made of pure and solid gold. Pg. 54

'Then all at once there was a tremendous stir.'

Hint: TTT

[Claenoic]

Whoops:( Ignore that last one, you got it before me, WulaÏg.
