Fingolfin and Finwe are both correct. Lothiriel is the maiden of the vegetable garlands, and her son Elfwine is the old intoxicant. (elf=Eldar=elder, wine=intoxicant that is also old.)
Fingolfin's turn.

Fingolfin II 04-09-2004 01:31 AM

I'm really bad at this sort of stuff, so Finwe can go.

Finwe 04-09-2004 10:55 AM

Hmm.... all right...


Dawn sea is the beginning of the third line.

NightKnight 04-16-2004 09:36 AM

Eomer?

The Perky Ent 04-16-2004 10:16 AM

Haldad?

Finwe 04-16-2004 08:42 PM

Eomer is correct. Yours, NightKnight.

NightKnight 04-18-2004 04:17 AM

I escaped fire, I endured woe,
I called for aid, then killed the black foe.
Who am I?

symestreem 04-18-2004 07:56 AM

Earendil?

NightKnight 04-18-2004 08:04 AM

Correct.

symestreem 04-22-2004 07:47 PM

I fought bravely and fell by an invincible hand. I lost my family, and died in a mirror that would reflect what happened to me 260 years later.

Bombadil 04-22-2004 08:11 PM

Boromir?

symestreem 04-23-2004 04:14 AM

None of the Boromirs.

Fingolfin II 04-23-2004 05:36 AM

Aragorn?

Finwe 04-23-2004 05:53 PM

Durin?

symestreem 04-24-2004 06:54 AM

None of the Aragorns, and none of the Durins. When I say 'invincible', I really mean invincible, but it's not old age.

Bombadil 04-24-2004 07:22 AM

hmmmm, It isn't Elendil, is it?

symestreem 04-24-2004 11:50 AM

No. Sauron was not invincible.

Gil-Galad 04-24-2004 10:30 PM

Fingolfin? since he died by Melkor a Valar, which was considered a God, and Gods were considered immortals

Fingolfin II 04-24-2004 11:11 PM

Ar-Pharazon? He was killed by Eru's earthquake.

The Perky Ent 04-25-2004 08:10 AM

Isildur, because he fell to the power of the ring, along with his songs?

symestreem 04-25-2004 12:12 PM

Nope. It's a man. And the invincible thing is really invincible; it's not a sentient being.

Gil-Galad 04-25-2004 02:53 PM

Denethor or the last king of Gondor?(don't remember name)

The Saucepan Man 04-25-2004 04:39 PM

Thread closed
 
Since we're over the 10 page limit, I'm closing this thread. Symestreem, could you start a new one please and include in your first post the rules for the game and a summary of where we are with your question.

Thanks. :)

symestreem 04-29-2004 04:14 PM

Who Am I II?
 
The point of this game is to guess the person from the information given. The information will vary, but it's rarely straightforward. Sometimes it's cryptic. (If anyone can give a better summary I'd appreciate it... I can't find the original 'Who Am I?').

Righty-ho then, the riddle on the table is

I fought bravely and fell by an invincible hand. I lost my family, and died in a mirror that would reflect what happened to me 260 years later.

We have established that
-It is not any of the Boromirs
-It is not any of the Aragorns
-It is not any of the Durins
-It is not Elendil
-It is not Fingolfin
-It is not Ar-Pharazon
-It is not Isildur
-It is not Denethor or the last king of Gondor
-It is a man
-The 'invincible hand' is really invincible- it cannot be defeated, although it does not always win. It is not sentient or sapient.

NightKnight 04-30-2004 03:47 AM

Is it Baldor?

symestreem 04-30-2004 04:56 AM

I knew someone would say that
 
No. Think of the "mirror" part.
Hint: The 'invincible hand' also threatened the Fellowship of the Ring.

Fingolfin II 04-30-2004 05:11 AM

Could it be Earnur?

symestreem 04-30-2004 01:51 PM

No. The Nazgul are not invincible.

NightKnight 04-30-2004 04:00 PM

Could it be Helm? He died 260 years before Frodo and Sam looked in the Mirror of Galadriel, he lost his family, he froze to death, and cold is quite invincible.

symestreem 04-30-2004 05:31 PM

You're so close! Really! But the "Mirror" but is not literal. Rather, it shows a duplicate of what happened. If that helps any.

nynnd1 05-04-2004 06:26 AM

I don't think it is but i'm going for a major stab in the dark, and am almost defenetly wrong.(As i am with my spelling)

Is it Theoden :rolleyes:

NightKnight 05-04-2004 06:29 AM

Hama?

nynnd1 05-04-2004 06:31 AM

Is it a man of Rohan?

samwise8504 05-04-2004 07:17 AM

theodred

symestreem 05-04-2004 02:04 PM

NightKnight is correct! It is Hama, son of Helm Hammerhand.

NightKnight 05-12-2004 09:28 AM

Deathless, ageless, forever searching for a long lost love.

nynnd1 05-17-2004 11:33 AM

It's got to be Treebeard.
:D

NightKnight 05-17-2004 12:55 PM

It is. :D

Gil-Galad 05-27-2004 04:44 PM

10 days so i guess i'll try ...



in anger I rode, in disgrace I ran, fell by darkness, lifted into the light, rested afar, never shall be reached, never shall be found...Who Am I?


kinda easy and hard

Fingolfin II 05-27-2004 10:16 PM

Eol?
