Imladris, I edited the post. Not as good but still adequet!

Imladris · 04-09-2004, 06:47 PM

Against all odds, I have done the forwarding post. Here is an outline of what will happen next:

Outline

Balin dies
On the same day, the other dwarves kill the orc that killed Balin, and many more up the Silver lode (any one knows what that is?),
Several days later: They have to barr the gates. I would think from the orcs. Any ideas from both orcs and dwarves?
The end game
The Bridge and Second Hall taken. Frar, Loni, and Nali die.
Hollin is flooded -- Oin goes to check it out, I presume. Orual , what do you think?
The Watcher kills Oin.
The end comes.

We're making splendid time -- I like to think we're a wee bit ahead of schedule, so don't feel obligated to hurry.

Thank you Perky Ent for editing.

Cheers to all,
Imladris

Wow, the end draws near! This will be the last of Balin! And what does that silver load thingie mean? is it like mithril or something?

i get to die soon!!! And btw, whatever happened to Amanduial? Did i miss something?

Also, something i didn't get. Lin has a fake beard, but don't dwarf women also have beards?

Perky Ent,

There's some debate on that. I know Movie-Aragorn jokes about "It's the Beards!" but I'm not sure the canonical evidence is solid for that.

I'm not an expert on the argument, and don't really have an opinion on it; Child of the Seventh Age wrote about a female dwarf once with a false beard, so I went with her opinion.

By the way, I think your name "Perky Ent" is funnier every time I see it. **Very** clever choice.

And now, I have some catching up to do!

The Perky Ent · 04-10-2004, 08:06 AM

Mark, thank you very much. I thought it was a good name. Originally, it was The Hasty Ent, but i think Perky works out much better!

Anyways, aren't the mithril lodes a path that leads to Caradras (

wrong spelling

) The only thing is, as far as i know (which is wrong), the pathway to the mithril lodes starts deep underground. I thought you find it by falling from Khazad and walkign and then taking it, but Imladris is the expert, so you tell me!

Imladris · 04-10-2004, 09:33 AM

Mithril lodes? What are they? Did I miss something or are you talking about the Silverlode? If you are talking about the Silverlode, I went to the Encyclopedia of Arda and found that it is

Quote:

The name among Men for the river the Elves called Celebrant; it sprang from the Mirrormere in the Dimrill Dale, and flowed east through Lórien to meet the River Anduin.

Does that answer the question?

Yes, Perky Ent, your name is hilarious -- one of my favourites on the board.

Evidently yes

I was in Cornwall for a week. Am now back - I will read up tonight and try to post either tonight or tomorrow. Sorry, am very tired due to a seven hour journey back right now...

Happy Easter and Pesach!!!

The Perky Ent · 04-10-2004, 05:39 PM

Oh, that's where! I have "short term memory loss" (not really but it feels like it) and forgot. Sorry. Very Sorry. So....how do we access the mithril lodes if they're deep under the mountain???

PS. Thank you Aman! And a happy Passover and or Easter to you too!

Imladris · 04-10-2004, 06:31 PM

Well, Moria used to be inhabited before Balin so the logical deduction is that the other dwarves had their own paths to the Mithril lodes and that Balin & Co will use those paths.

Question answered, I hope?

Merry Easter, Passover, etc...

Have a good one!

Cheers,
Imladris
