1)Bow & Arrows
2)Lembas & Coffee
3)Rope
4)Map
5)Matches

My book would be Playelf [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

The-Elf-Herself 03-11-2002 09:48 AM

To Teleliniel: What? No horses for US? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
My five things would be
-Lembas of course
-Weapons: a bow & quiver full of arrows, and a long sharp dagger/short sword
-Elvish cloak
-A Horse(take that Teleliniel [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )
-And I guess a few of my buddies

I suppose it would be wise to include a map, but since I am an Elvish scout out of Imladris, I do not think I would need such a thing. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tarlondeion Of Gondolin 03-11-2002 12:30 PM

A Horse
Lembas
Water bottle
Anduril or Gurthang (Tuors sword - I think)
Suite of Armour made of Mithril (Its light so I can run and do what i would normally do and no sword or arrow will get to me now. I will be INVINCIBLE)

piosenniel 03-11-2002 12:34 PM

an elven cloak
a bow and quiver
'the atlas of middle earth'
lembas
miruvor

Teleliniel 03-11-2002 05:35 PM

Sorry 'bout that hun, I didn't think you'd mind walking that much..... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Firladion Greenbow 03-11-2002 07:42 PM

You guys kill me, Playelf, Hahahahaha
Thats cute [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Do not worry too much about horses, we can get them there (so i am told).
Be careful with thoughts on food (apparently Lembas is running low at the moment!?)
Kendal mint cake (although nice) will not last forever, What! never heard of Kendal mint cake! as used by many great explorers, well, it is like Lembas, only minty!!

"What?"
excuse me someone is shouting.
"NO, I do not know"
Just a minute.
"Aragorn, bugger off, I still have not decided if i am taking you or not! We will see later."

Gosh sometimes he is like a big kid, anyway, keep your ideas coming in.

I've practically memorize my herb book so I don't need to bring it with me. Of course I may need to know the elven names of the herbs, but I will leave one of you to teach me that.

Gayahithwen 03-12-2002 09:56 AM

First of all, I would tell my brother to come along with us, so I don't need to put him on my list.. Otherwise, I would take along with me:

1. A lightweight carrige that I can put together and carry if I need to. ^_^
2. A portable solarpowerstation. or maybe a bikegenerator?
3. My computer
4. My CD-player (need to listen to the LotR-soundtrack five times a day..)
5. a bag of candy..

the book: I would have to say that even though I would like to have the Sil, LotR, Hobbit or any similar book with me, I would still have the bible with me.. ^_^

Oh yeah, if I bring my brother as well, He can make sure that the generator-bike generates power all the time.. ^_^ this could be fun.. When are we leaving?

Firladion Greenbow 03-12-2002 06:39 PM

I just hope it does not rain, or your going to be fried!!

And as for when..........soon, real soon.

F.G.

ArwenBaggins 03-18-2002 05:29 PM

1: Weapon; Bows (never hurts to have a spare) and arrows(about 1,000, if i can carry that many [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img])
2: Lembas
3: Elven Cloak
4: Horse, Condelia
5: Food, lots and lots of food!

A mihgt take a tablet of paper and a pencil, too. So much needed, so 'wee to bring! :/

It's snowing here! I'd be glad to get away!

Fingolas 03-18-2002 06:49 PM

Lambs Tongue!!! HA!!

Real men just sit down in the grass and scoot around on their butts like a dog. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Raefindel 03-18-2002 09:51 PM

LOL! And carry cream in their packs for the rash they just caused! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] No wonder there were no women on the Quest. Six months of Dwarves, Men, Hobbits and Elves burping, scratching, high-fiving and butt scooting? Aiiiiii!

Raefindel 03-19-2002 12:39 AM

Birdland, check out Lush's last remark on "you are the ringbearer" [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
And please tell us who is right.

Nevtalathiel 03-22-2002 10:12 AM

I'd have to get my sister to come along, as she's a huge Tolkein fan too and would kill me if i didn't bring her along (if she has to count as one of my items, then yes i could carry her as she's so skinny. she frequent the downs too, so she'll probably be along complaining in a minute!) also, she can always make me laugh, which would probably be useful. I've then got two lists of things to take, the sensible one and the silly one. I'll do the silly one first:

1. Solar powerered jet pack to help me get around nad escape form any danger without needing weapons!

2. A flattering dress so that when i met a nice elf, i could look stunning!

3. A hair brush for the same reason as the dress.

4. Make-up for the same reason as the dress and the hair brush.

5. A babbelfish so i could talk to everyone easily (for those of you who haven't heard "the Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy" you put it in your ear and it immediately translates everything you hear into the correct language for you!)

the sensible list is just the same as everyone else's; weapons, food, dry socks and shoes cos i can't stand having wet feet, pen and paper to write down everything that happened and a good first aid kit, with explanations of what to do when someone got shot by an arrow and in other likely situations.

As for the book, have all of Tolkein's books ever all been printed in one. It would be heavy to carry round, but worth it!

LOL! Wouldn't that blow the dwarves away! "Hey! How'd she learn our Secret Language?"

Birdland 03-22-2002 03:21 PM

Raefindel - last time I checked, you were. (Sigh) Maybe if I changed my name to "Birdlandia"?

Gorin Icearms 03-22-2002 03:23 PM

Yuck...I didn't need that last grass joke. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

muffin_goddess 03-22-2002 03:45 PM

It'd have to be

1) warm clothes (I hate being cold)
2) Eric (A horse I used to ride he was so lovely I'd definately chose him over any other horse/pony)
3) Frogsticker (my sword)
4) Pans and cooking supplys (I'm Hobbit like and hate being hungry more than I hate being cold)
5) Flint and tinder (to start a fire with which to cook)

I miss Eric, he moved away

Raefindel 03-22-2002 09:14 PM

Actually, muffin-goddess, these were supposed to be things you could carry in your backpack. I know, I know, everyone else is bring thier horse and best bud. Actually I origionally said I was going to bring a solar generator to power my espresso stand, but I have had to revise my list since then. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Weber 03-22-2002 09:50 PM

1. horse
2. lembas
3. weapon
4. cloak
5. rope
those are the 5 things i would bring

Lostgaeriel 03-22-2002 09:57 PM

Joy! What you said: Aragorn (or even Viggo).

But I figure one might manage with just one item: a towel.

If it works in Hitch-Hiker's Guide, why not in Middle-earth?

Of course, Nevtalathiel's suggestion of a Babel Fish would save me learning any of the languages, but when everyone uses it, it causes more and bloodier wars than anything else in the universe. Leave it at home.

alaklondewen 03-22-2002 10:14 PM

1) Clean socks -- I hate wet feet.
2) rope -- I think Sam showed how important rope can be in a fix
3) antibiotics -- we have no idea what kind if sicknesses they have
4) lembas -- only if I couldn't stop in Lothlorien
5) a couple of pots and pans -- I can cook for my companions -- maybe some rabbit stew??

muffin_goddess 03-23-2002 06:35 AM

Okay I replace Eric with "101 edible herbs and plants" just in case we run out of food. But can I still take Eric?

Luinsewiel 03-23-2002 12:13 PM

I would probly take:
1.a towel[soaked in antibiotics(sp.) and nutrients]
2.a babbel fish as well (great idea!)
3.chlorine tablets for the water
4.a first-aid kit
5.unlimited supply of candy and chocolate

and for the book THE HITCH HIKERS GUIDE TO MIDDLE-EARTH [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Starbreeze 03-23-2002 03:34 PM

Right, now I only have to choose a book.
Hmmmmm, lets see, I think I would take The Middle Earth companion - it describes every thing to do with Middle Earth in short, easy to read entries, rather like a dictionary or encyclopedia, and similar to the DiscWorld Companion by Terry Prattchet - such a cool book! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Enedhil 03-23-2002 04:34 PM

heheh, that's a tough question actually - and i love what you have come up with so far (though i havent read through them all)

Well, as it happens, I have a wee bag made up for such a journey, which contains food (and lembas), water skins, spare clothes (just a couple of bits), an ME first-aid kit and a blanket. And that's only one item - yay! Another four. right. A weapon, a map, a ranger (failing that, a good friend) and...hmm. cooking utensils might be handy. But if my companion has some stuff, maybe I could take my diary instead. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Firladion Greenbow 03-24-2002 06:13 PM

I am so very impressed by the array of items that you all wish to take, there are some very well thought out lists.
Do remember that what you take, you carry!
I could just imagine some of you carting around horses and satellite equipment with you all the way through ME. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

By the way, I thought we could all meet up in Bree (its at the crossroads between the Andrath Greenway and the East-West road, you cannot miss it), there is a nice little inn there called The Prancing Pony (some of you may have heard of it)
We will have some lunch, a few beers, a good nights rest and set of just after breakfast.

A.Y.S.
F.G.

Raefindel 03-25-2002 01:04 PM

Yes, Muffin-Goddess, you can bring Eric, but he has to carry his own backpack! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Actually, Greenbow, I have this really cool backpack... It was made by the same guy who made Mary Poppins' carpet bag. I can pull the most amazing things out of it!

[img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Nice-Smeagol 03-25-2002 01:13 PM

Hmmmmmmmmm.

1: Heater
2: Lembas
3: English-Elvish-Sindarin-Westron Dictionary
4: Map
5: Krieg 552 Commando [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

ArwenBaggins 03-25-2002 04:54 PM

i changed my mind:

1:Lembas
2:Rope
3:First Aid Kit
4: Bow and Arrows
5:Elven Cloak (is that clothing?:/ ) if it is....hmmm.... some cooking utinsels and eating utinsels

For my Book... The Simmilarion or 'The Hobbit's Guide to Middle Earth'. I saw it at the book store [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

VanimaEdhel 03-25-2002 05:03 PM

Okay...let me think...
1: a very attractive, very strong elf (like Legolas maybe?!) [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
2: rope! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
3: a Ranger (like Aragorn) [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
4: either food or some method to catch food [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
5: bow and arrows (can use the arrows just to stab, as Legolas did) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[ March 25, 2002: Message edited by: VanimaEdhel ]

Raefindel 03-25-2002 05:33 PM

I'd sure hate to carry an Elf or a Ranger in MY backpack, VanimaEdhel! LOL [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] Better meet them when you get to Bree. Did anyone see "Everafter"? The Gypsies told Danielle she could take anything she could carry and she picked up the Prince , threw him over her shoulder and walked off. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Sounds like some of you will be doing just that! :LOL [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Mirkgirl 03-25-2002 06:19 PM

Sword
Food
Horse
Clothes
Athelas
pipe and enough pipe-weed

Luinsewiel 03-25-2002 06:50 PM

LOL Raefindel I was thinking the exact same thing a little while ago and the same thing with the horse. I love that movie my parents bought for me so we could stop renting it

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

VanimaEdhel 03-26-2002 04:31 PM

Yeah: a biiiiig backback! Hehehe...

I would need them with me, and if I could take them and take two other things (to make you HAPPY [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] )...hmmm...
  • The knives Tinuanar and Tinuithil (my imaginary Elf character's knives)
  • a shield (could use the nice, strong, attractive Elf for that too... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

VanimaEdhel 03-26-2002 04:34 PM

BTW: YES, I saw "Ever After"...pretty good movie too. I liked her friend that helped her get ready in her dress, etc.

Tigerlily Took 03-28-2002 10:18 AM

I... I have to carry everything I take? Oh, dear...

book: The largest, most in-depth guide to Middle Earth I can find
1) a sword and shield
2) shoes (A hobbit probobly would forget to bring shoes leaving home)
3) a pillow
4) a first aid kit that contains chap stick and toilet paper [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
5) And I'd stuff the rest of my backpack with stuff to barter with...
