True or false??!!?? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I believe it's false. Gandalf says something to that effect, but these are not the exact words.

It's true...I can'tremember, but it sounds like something one of the Three Hunters would have said to another of them.

PS: When a quote only differs by one word in a sentence, such as using "and" instsead of "where" in the above Paths of the Deadquote...isn't that just silly?

Olorin, that's how the game should be played. The quote makes the reader remember something like it, and maybe it's been changed, so the guess of the reader will be wrong, and the writer may post another qoute.

Well, it is true. Elrond said it at the Council of Elrond. Olorin, you can go.

Get guessing!

Err, false?

Sirithheruwen · 05-08-2004, 10:48 AM

Um, I think it's true - didn't one of the hobbits say that outside of the Barrow?
