So #4's second letter is R...

Hmmm...

Brandybuck.

Evisse the Blue · 03-01-2004, 03:21 AM

Well done!~

So here's the full solved riddle:

1.Ithil Thing that starts a sword's harmless touch comes out at night.
2.Lhun Final journey begins here.
3.Boromir With my little brother I shared a jewel but not a passion.
4. Brandybuck Spirits pay off for him.
5.Silent Watchers Muted malice broken by a bright memory
6.Angband Hellish way to contain a musical ensemble
The Password is THORIN.

Nilpaurion Felagund will be serving the next one.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-01-2004, 03:28 AM

Here's a quick one.

1. Initially north of Bree.
2. Ringbearer without flinging Ring first.
3. Stable boy of the Pony.

Enjoy.

Evisse the Blue · 03-01-2004, 03:50 AM

#3 - Bob?

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-01-2004, 08:19 AM

#1 Nob? (North of Bree.)

#2 Isildur?

Celebrian · 03-01-2004, 06:28 PM

1) Chetwood?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-01-2004, 11:10 PM

1. Nob Initially north of Bree.
2. Ringbearer without flinging Ring first.
3. Bob Stable boy of the Pony.

Quote:

Just to be straightforward

Only number 3 was straightforward here...

Quote:

But how quickly will it be guessed?

A good question.

Arestevana · 03-02-2004, 03:48 PM

#2 Aragorn?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-02-2004, 07:34 PM

NightKnight · 03-03-2004, 12:59 AM

2. Odo?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-03-2004, 11:28 PM

1. Nob Initially north of Bree.
2. Odo Ringbearer without flinging Ring first.
3. Bob Stable boy of the Pony.

Now, what's the password?

A hint: One thing in common.

Turambar · 03-04-2004, 08:28 AM

Can you explain #2 ?

Kind of a sideways palindrome you've got going there - reading down starting from the 1st, 2nd and 2rd letters of "Nob", you get Nob-Odo-Bob again. Very clever.

Celebrian · 03-04-2004, 02:57 PM

Is the password not Nob then?
How about, say, um, ohhh, lessee...

ure, tengwa for w that looks like an "o", meaning 'heat'?

Quote:

Ringbearer without flinging Ring first.

The Ringbearer is Frodo, without the first letters of Flinging Ring (Fr), which makes Odo.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-04-2004, 07:45 PM

The letters of the clues themselves provide nothing to the password, but the clues have one thing in common. That's the password.

symestreem · 03-04-2004, 09:24 PM

They're all names.
They all have three letters.
They all have an o.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-05-2004, 01:58 AM

Names of what?

Firefoot · 03-05-2004, 06:06 AM

Hobbits?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-06-2004, 01:26 AM

My password was legal, correct? I didn't violate any rules?

Firefoot · 03-06-2004, 07:38 PM

*skims rules* I'm pretty sure it was legal. Anyway, here's the new puzzle:

1. Amon Din: The silent place on which I am.
2. River Running: Water sprinted to the east.
3. Horn Call of Buckland: Hobbits are afraid because their enemies have torches.
4. Weathertop: Atmospheric Conditions on the upside.
5. Indis: Mother of the one with the sharp tongue.
6. Indor: Morwen's kinsman not outside.
7. Gamgee: Faithful companion ends up turning right.

NightKnight · 03-07-2004, 05:26 AM

5. Indis? Fëanor accused Fingolfin of having a sharp tongue...

Firefoot · 03-07-2004, 08:22 AM

NightKnight is correct with #5.

Thorongil · 03-08-2004, 01:55 AM

1: East Emnet?

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-08-2004, 03:24 AM

#2 River Running?
#4 Weathertop?

Firefoot · 03-08-2004, 06:15 AM

Saucepan Man is correct with both 2 and 4.
Thorongil: not even close.

Turambar · 03-08-2004, 09:18 AM

#6 Aerin ?

NightKnight · 03-08-2004, 12:21 PM

7. Ragnor, Gildor, Hathaldir or Dagnir?

Firefoot · 03-08-2004, 02:50 PM

Turambar: getting warmer. "not outside" is cryptic.
NightKnight: All of those are very cold.

Finwe · 03-08-2004, 07:06 PM

6) Thingol?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-08-2004, 07:19 PM

Túrin?

Firefoot · 03-08-2004, 08:02 PM

Finwe and Nilpaurion, both getting colder...

Mariska Greenleaf · 03-09-2004, 03:13 AM

6: House of Beor?

Firefoot · 03-09-2004, 06:25 AM

Mariska: colder, freezing cold...

Finwe · 03-09-2004, 07:47 PM

3) Helm's Deep?

Silmarien · 03-09-2004, 08:14 PM

6) Thalion?
7) Huan?

Firefoot · 03-09-2004, 08:25 PM

None of those.

#6 isn't going anywhere. Turambar's guess was the closest so far.
#3 is entirely cryptic.
In #7 "faithful companion" is the straight clue.

Silmarien · 03-10-2004, 07:41 PM

1) Amon Din?

Firefoot · 03-10-2004, 07:56 PM

Yes, Amon Din is #1.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-10-2004, 09:57 PM

Beleg?

Evisse the Blue · 03-11-2004, 03:21 AM

#6- Beren?
