fortunately, another stranger arrived, this one in a dark-green cloak.

unfortunately this one had amnesia too

Fortunately a mysterious ranger strode by and
cured both wizards with athelas, actually
found by his hot elf girlfriend.

Unfortunately, since he has amnesia, he could not remember her name.

Fortunately he also was cured of amnesia using
the athelas and remembered his name was
Trotter.

Unfortunately, the hot elf girlfriend had had a previous bad relationship with someone called Trotter. So she slapped him round the face and whistled for Shadowfax to pick her up and take her away from this madness

Fortunately, Gil-Galad was dead

Unfortunately, that didn't affect the story in any way.

(Fortunately?) the hot elf girlfriend's bff was now
the queen of 4th Age New and Expanded Gondor
so when she rode into Minas Tirith the queen
offered to fix her up with Legolas's bdf (Gimli!).

Unfortunately, Eru stepped and changed Arda again.

(Fortunately?) in the new Arda
the hot elf girlfriend and her bff
established a feminist awareness
movement in Rivendell much to
the exasperation of the bff's daddy
and her traditionalist ranger boyfriend).

Unfortunately they all died in a car crash. Oh.. wait... a "van" crash.:p

Fortunately they were elves and were fast tracked
back to Middle-earth.

Unfortunately, Osse got bored and decided to throw their boat off course, so they landed in the far South.

Fortunately the girls found the long lost
Blue Wizards there and hit it off with them.

unfortunately, their blue cloaks got bleach on them, so they were no longer blue and were suffering from an identity crisis

Fortunately, they looked good in their new white robes.

Unfortunately Radagast got jealous of the
Blue Wizards good fortune and sent some
birds to, ah, discolor their white robes.

Fortunately, Gil-Galad comes back from the dead!

Unfortunately, people forgot that he was alive.

Fortunately Fingolfin comes to join Gil-Galad in returning to life.

Unfortunately, they were returned to life in the depths of Angband.

Fortunately, they were returned to life 60-feet tall.

Unfortunately, they were stuck in a sealed cave.

Fortunately, there was enough TNT in the cave to blow a way through.

Unfortunately they attached the TNT to the cieling, and they were just underneath a huge underground lake.

Fortunately the cave, while huge in area, was
only an inch deep.

Unfortunately it still had such a huge area that it contained more water than the Mediterranean Sea.

Fortunately Aule got Arien to have
the sun shine really hard
and all the water evaporated.

Unfortunately it rained back down again.

Fortunately, it rained in Harad where it needed the rain. and gave birth to Water Oliphaunts.

Unfortunately for summer sports emthusiasts the
water froze and an inpromptu ice hockey game
broke out between the Harad Harassers and
Gondorian Avengers.

Fortunately it was fun!

Unfortunately, chaos ensued when Eowyn
scored a hat trick and Gandalf refused to
throw his hat in the rink.

Fortunately, everyone forgot about Gandalf's hat when Mount Zoom entered the field fitted with skates.

Unfortunately, the skates were roller skates.

Fortunately, they were bright pink and orange!

Unfortunately for Mount Zoom, it appeared in
1970s South Philadelphia and was knocked out
by Dave Schultz and other Broad Street Bullies.

Fortunately, it managed to run over them.

Unfortunately, David Schultz was wearing the Sock of Power.
