T? what T, my preciouss-s?..
 
to the 'T' (whatever that means). Take it over :)

BTW, thanks for the Tabulus the Flat. I have forgotten about it but for you :D

cheers

Evisse the Blue 07-25-2004 04:25 AM

:confused: T? huh? where? *scans around for any stray Ts*
No Ts here, except the one fromTabulus the Flat. Lol, here's an excuse to post the link to this for others to see/remember! :D

New quote is:

"You are altogether wrong", we argued. "And be sure to say it exactly like this, unless you're parted from a group of outsiders. They couldn't have been further away from the town center of Landia back then."

HerenIstarion 08-08-2004 02:46 AM

That'd be Gandalf to Radagast, as cited by him to the Council of Elrond:

Quote:

Your information was correct, But do not put it that way, if you meet any of the inhabitants. You are near the borders of the Shire now

Evisse the Blue 08-08-2004 04:40 AM

Yes, that's it!

HerenIstarion 08-08-2004 12:58 PM

easy one, probably...
 
Hallo, she cried to Shieldzwerg, we came to loose our Moon!

Evisse the Blue 08-08-2004 01:18 PM

yep...
 
Quote:

"Farewell", he said to Gandalf. "I go to find the Sun".
Legolas to Gandalf, the Ring goes South.

HerenIstarion 08-08-2004 01:38 PM

I could not stand the temptation to turn Gandalf into Shieldzwerg :D

Correct, take it over again :)

Evisse the Blue 08-09-2004 04:20 AM

Next up:

"Chances are, the Demons will lead her onwards!"

Ware! Ware!May the Valar turn him aside!
Damrod about the oliphaunt?

Evisse the Blue 08-12-2004 04:33 AM

That's right! :)

HerenIstarion 08-12-2004 04:40 AM

Probably, this water is the pool which hides the ent-lead that was dug up!

HerenIstarion 09-01-2004 01:34 AM

anyone?

Estelyn Telcontar 09-01-2004 01:55 AM

It's not too hard to guess that this quote is about gold, buried under/in a mountain, so that suggests 'The Hobbit' as its source. Since my time is short, unfortunately, could you please tell me if that's the right book in which to search for it?

HerenIstarion 09-01-2004 02:44 AM

the quote is indeed related to the plot of the Hobbit, and it is a hobbit who doth quoteth, but one should look for it in the FoTR :)

Estelyn Telcontar 09-01-2004 12:34 PM

That took a bit of detective work, but I finally found it! Merry is the speaker.
Quote:

That must be the stone that marked the place where the trolls' gold was hidden.

HerenIstarion 09-01-2004 11:45 PM

Aye, m'lady, your sight for hidden things is sharp! :)

Pray proceed

Quote:

He can drop her against them, and he can't drop them and her as badly.

HerenIstarion 09-18-2004 03:47 PM

I surely feel like a hint :)

Estelyn Telcontar 09-19-2004 05:50 AM

It is spoken in first person and can be found in RotK.

HerenIstarion 09-20-2004 05:59 AM

Ah, thank you, that was helpful :)

That was Sam to Frodo, on the Mount Doom:

Quote:

I can’t carry it for you, but I can carry you and it as well

Estelyn Telcontar 09-20-2004 06:15 AM

*applause, applause, applause!!*

Next one's yours, HI!

HerenIstarion 09-20-2004 07:16 AM

Thank you, thank you :)

next up:

Quote:

‘Go up! Go up!’ she whispered to the giant among the roots,’Don’t run down there, just tear it apart’

HerenIstarion 11-11-2004 01:39 PM

an inkling statement...
 
I usually use Giant to turn the Dwarf inside out, you know :rolleyes:

Estelyn Telcontar 11-11-2004 01:48 PM

Ah, that clue was very helpful! I found it in The Hobbit:
Quote:

"Come down! Come down!" he shouted to the dwarves on the branch. "Don't stay up there and be netted!"
...'he', of course, being Bilbo.

HerenIstarion 11-12-2004 12:47 AM

Yes, definitely :)

Estelyn Telcontar 11-19-2004 02:10 AM

Here's a new one:
Quote:

It is seldom on purpose that young bachelors lose in forgetting pictures of people that someday will be unnecessary for the stupid to be unaware of.

HerenIstarion 11-19-2004 02:34 AM

Celeborn to Boromir concerning Fangorn:

Quote:

for oft it may chance that old wives keep in memory word of things that once were needful for the wise to know

Estelyn Telcontar 11-19-2004 02:39 AM

Awwwww, was it that easy or are you just that good, HI?! ;) Right, of course, and your turn.

HerenIstarion 11-19-2004 02:59 AM

Nay, it was just easy (though gracefully done) - young bachelors was a clue, and the scope of search thence was limited to either Ioreth and her sayings, or Fangorn :)

I have to think a bit to contrive the next one, though

cheers

HerenIstarion 11-24-2004 08:40 AM

Damn you, Lady Wheeldwarf!’ shouted Full ‘All of it! And I even planted thorns over the threshold, when you went away from me!'

Evisse the Blue 01-04-2005 04:07 PM

Can you give a hint? :)

HerenIstarion 01-05-2005 01:40 PM

Maybe it would be a modification of the quote...
 
Quote:

Morgoth damn you, Lady Wheeldwarf, M'am!’ shouted Fully Fool ‘All of it! And I even planted thorns over the threshold, when you went away from me!'
Besides, wheel is used as opposite of wand. There are two creatures dwarf may be at daggers drawn with, of course. Fully Fool requires no further commenting, eh? ;)

Evisse the Blue 01-05-2005 01:53 PM

That helped a lot!
 
'Lor bless you, Mr Gandalf, sir!' said Sam. 'Nothing! Leastways I was just trimming the grass-border under the window, if you follow me.'

HerenIstarion 01-05-2005 01:59 PM

Correct :)

Lor Bless you, Miss Evisse, the floor is yours :)

Evisse the Blue 01-05-2005 02:17 PM

Thanks, here's the next one:
 
"Your teeth are quite familiar while your number has a peculiar taste. Giants! All the gibberish I have spoken made lies seem false."

Doesn't sound very encouraging does it? :D

The Saucepan Man 01-05-2005 08:18 PM

Hroom, once I substituted Hobbits for Giants, I immediately thought of Treebeard. On discounting him, there was only one other I could think of who reacts to Hobbits in such a way ...


Quote:

Your tongue is strangely changed; but the name sounds not unfitting so. Hobbits! No report that I have heard does justice to the truth.
Theoden to Merry and Pippin at Isengard.

Evisse the Blue 01-06-2005 09:04 AM

That's right, well done! :)

Evisse the Blue 02-26-2005 07:30 AM

*bump*
 
SpM?

The Saucepan Man 04-05-2005 07:00 AM

Oopsie!
 
Sorry for the extended delay. Here's a new one:

Quote:

But we are forbidden to speak of such things, things with which we are well acquainted even more so than we are with flying, Miss Earthwoman … These things are normal, and you would be better off without normality over there.

The Saucepan Man 04-10-2005 05:47 PM

Tumbleweed time
 
Anyone?

It's easy if you work out who Miss Earthwoman is ...
