Pippin to wounded Merry in Minas Tirith about Théoden and Éowyn

Sleepy Ranger 09-25-2005 12:00 PM

Right you are Heren. Take it away. :)

HerenIstarion 09-26-2005 10:36 AM

Back to life...
 
Well than:

I was having such a lovely dream
A. I saw Arwen in a neglige... ah...
B. I drained a cup that was filled with a fragrant draught, cool as a clear fountain, golden as a summer afternoon, and than you woke me!
C. And I heard a sound of the Sea far-off; a sound I had never heard in waking life
D. All about having a most gorgeous dinner
E. In which a warrior, altogether insignificant in size but provided with a bitter sword and great courage, figured most unpleasantly

Sleepy Ranger 09-26-2005 10:50 AM

D)!!!!
 
The answer would be D.
Bilbo to one of the dwarves in The Hobbit.
Dori as per my book.

HerenIstarion 09-26-2005 10:54 AM

Yes, indeed
 
He's gone like BOMBUR! A-aaaa!

C)But it is your choice.
D)Toss it away, I say.
E)It would be best to leave it behind.

Evisse the Blue 09-26-2005 12:54 PM

I have a feeling it's B, and it's Sam who says it sometime.

Sleepy Ranger 09-26-2005 01:10 PM

It is B but you're well off track with who said it.
Please Insert A Coin And Try Again

paavo 09-26-2005 01:25 PM

*inserts a coin* Sounds like Eomer to me.

Sleepy Ranger 09-26-2005 01:27 PM

You're all looking in the wrong book. :rolleyes:

arcticstorm 09-28-2005 06:08 AM

It sounds like something said at the end of the Hobbit.

Sleepy Ranger 09-28-2005 06:09 AM

Nope, still wrong. In fact its quite far off.

Guinevere 09-30-2005 01:54 PM

Are Tolkien's minor works included in this game?
If so, the gloomy blacksmith in "Farmer Giles of Ham" says these words.

Sleepy Ranger 10-01-2005 05:56 AM

Yes, all yours Guinevere :)

Guinevere 10-05-2005 09:01 AM

Thanks! (Although, in the first post it was stated:
Quote:

By the way, these should be from the LotR books.
and Evisse's answer:
Quote:

and it's Sam who says it sometime.
wasn't altogether wrong, because the gloomy blacksmith is called Sam! (even "sunny Sam"! :D )

Anyhow, I'll try my hand at contriving a new one (seems harder than solving... )

"Grievous is our loss"

1) but even now there is hope left
2) yet we will cast all away rather than submit to Sauron
3) all the same I bid you not to despair
4) yet we must needs make up our minds
5) but let not your hearts be sad

Koneko 10-05-2005 09:05 AM

4. "Yet we must needs make up our minds without his aid." I watched the Fellowship again last night. :) Legolas.

Guinevere 10-05-2005 09:23 AM

Correct!
 
Gosh, it took me such a long time to think of something suitable, and you spotted the right one at once! :( ;)

OK, your turn, Koneko!

Koneko 10-06-2005 02:51 AM

... uhm. I've got no quote!

Sleepy Ranger 10-12-2005 04:55 AM

By authority of the King...

Celuien 08-20-2006 05:23 AM

Sleepy Ranger 08-20-2006 09:45 AM

Sleepy Ranger 08-21-2006 09:09 AM

HerenIstarion 08-21-2006 10:59 AM

HerenIstarion 08-21-2006 12:08 PM

Gandalf to Bilbo as the latter woke up early and was not inclined to tidy up after dish-washing for fourteen

Sleepy Ranger 08-21-2006 12:12 PM

Yeah, all yours Heren. Just nine more posts for the last post... :D
I call dibs on the posting the 240th post by the way. You should know why Heren... ;)

HerenIstarion 08-21-2006 12:43 PM

Yes, I remember :)

Next one:

Quote:

Must we go any further?
A. I mean about the gold and the dragon, and all that, and how it got there, and who it belongs to, and so on and further.
B. We must take our chance of that
C. My toes are all bruised and bent, and my legs ache, and my stomach is wagging like an empty sack
D. Yes, I am. I feel I need a holiday, a very long holiday, as I have told you before
E. We are making for the inn here. We are journeying east and cannot go further tonight
F. I am afraid this has been too much for Frodo
G. I suppose not. But so far my only thought has been to get here; and I hope I shan't have to go any further.
H. We must decide before we go further.
I. We cannot go further tonight. Let those call it the wind who will; there are fell voices on the air; and these stones are aimed at us.
J. Where d’you think you’re going? There’s no road for you any further

arcticstorm 08-21-2006 06:02 PM

I would say C
It sounds like something Bilbo would have said on the mountain during the rainstorm in the hobbit.

HerenIstarion 08-22-2006 02:46 AM

Spot on :) I praise your erudition, Sir!

Sleepy Ranger 08-25-2006 12:48 PM

HerenIstarion 08-26-2006 07:27 AM

arcticstorm 08-26-2006 09:28 AM

HerenIstarion 08-26-2006 03:21 PM
