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

Well than:

Quote:

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

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

He's gone like BOMBUR! A-aaaa!

Sleepy Ranger · 09-26-2005, 10:59 AM

B)Mark my words.
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.

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"!

)

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

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

...I declare the floor open, who ever wishes to present us the next question may do so.

Sleepy Ranger · 08-20-2006, 04:35 AM

This is the end.

A. We shall die here
B. But from it we shall create a new begining
C. But such an end we shall make it that it be worthy of rememberance.
D. But do not lose hope.

Celuien · 08-20-2006, 05:23 AM

A.

Dwarves in The Hobbit, Chapter 13.

Sleepy Ranger · 08-20-2006, 09:45 AM

Righty-o, all yours ma'am.

Celuien · 08-20-2006, 02:59 PM

Turn your face from the green world

A. for all things shall wither and fall into darkness!
B. and look to the Sea for your hope!
C. and look where all seems barren and cold!
D. and gaze upon the handiwork of Varda.

HerenIstarion · 08-21-2006, 04:37 AM

C.

Gandalf to Aragorn as the former took the latter up Mindolluin in search of the white tree sapling.

Celuien · 08-21-2006, 05:24 AM

So it is. The thread is yours.

HerenIstarion · 08-21-2006, 05:53 AM

Thanks:

Quote:

Maybe you have heard of Trolls?

A. They are made of stone.
B. They are mighty strong.
C. They bake good bread.
D. They are performed in a theater round the corner.
E. You have, now? Let us troll a merry song, than!
F. I've caught a twelve pound trout just yesterday!

Sleepy Ranger · 08-21-2006, 09:09 AM

It is B. Treebeard said it to Merry (& Pippin) I believe.

HerenIstarion · 08-21-2006, 10:59 AM

The floor is yours, Sir Ranger

Sleepy Ranger · 08-21-2006, 11:43 AM

You are not at all yourself this morning.

B)The days grow darker
C)The stars shine brighter
D)or so says Lord Elrond.

HerenIstarion · 08-21-2006, 12:08 PM

A.

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...

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

f. How can we continue on?
g. Lugburz will be very angry
h. You must guide the people out of Gondolin.

j. You must flee to King Thingol of Doriath.

HerenIstarion · 08-26-2006, 07:27 AM

D, Ugluk about Pippin and Merry, I suppose?

arcticstorm · 08-26-2006, 09:28 AM

That is correct HI your go

HerenIstarion · 08-26-2006, 03:21 PM

Thanks

Yet I would like Sleepy Ranger to ask us next riddle...
