I have no idea what that is, but its not the answer.

hobbitlass 01-01-2003 11:22 PM

Is it ithildin, like what the door of Durin is made of/

Beren87 01-02-2003 06:21 PM

Yes hobbitlass! THAT was the answer I was looking for. And at the end, the scores seem to be:
Thengise-2
Tolkiengurl-4
tom bombariffic-1
King Turgon-1
Hobbitlass-1

Which means that Tolkiengurl is the winner! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Pallando B.C-1

Pallando B.C 01-11-2003 05:58 PM

[ January 11, 2003: Message edited by: Pallando B.C ]

Beren87 01-11-2003 10:44 PM

Aye, seems I've stumped ye for once. Both of those are incorrect but good guesses.

Pallando B.C 01-11-2003 10:49 PM

You have stumped me. [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Two more;

- King Arveleg
- Or simply the Wraith of Angmar

Thanks, Beren you have made me resort to un-educated guesses.

Beren87 01-11-2003 11:08 PM

Ah, no and no.
