Ask Hunthor how. He experienced the same thing.

You mean she's going to drop a rock on Glaurung's head? How could she lift a rock big enough to kill him? Dragon, remember.

Urwen · 05-02-2010, 10:10 AM

With help of her pets, of course!

The geese? How?

Urwen · 05-02-2010, 10:22 AM

Like this:

Goose1:Glaurung,there's gold under that cliff!
Glaurung:Show me!

(Glaurung and Goose come under the cliff.Lalaith and other Goose are standing on that same cliff.They push large rock together...and Goodbye trouble.)

Nope, this is another plan that relies on Glaurung being a nitwit. He wasn't.

Not only that, it requires Lalaith and the geese to be much stronger than they possibly could be. We're talking biiiiig rock here.

Urwen · 05-02-2010, 11:07 AM

I...won't...give...up

But do you know that geese were Glaurung's friends before they discovered that Lalaith was better one to follow? He's gotta trust them!

I see. And Morgoth would trust them... why, exactly?

For same reason the SoF trusted Ulfang...

You mean because they had no idea they were, or ever had been, allied with the enemy?

Nope. Not the same situation at all.

REJECTED.

Please try again.

So let's just review these "Lalaith Saves The World And Lives Happily Ever After" scenarios of yours shall we, Urwen?

1. Lalaith saves Niniel from Glaurung by distracting her. REJECTED.

2. Lalaith drugs Glaurung. REJECTED.

3. Lalaith proves she didn't kill the butterfly. REJECTED.

4. Lalaith double-crosses Morgoth at Dagor Dagorath. REJECTED. Twice.

5. Lalaith gets Beleg to marry her. REJECTED.

7. Lalaith kills Glaurung "in a second". Somehow. REJECTED.

8. Lalaith kills Glaurung by dropping a rock on his head. REJECTED.

9. Lalaith rips Glaurung's backbone out with her bare hands. REJECTED.

10. Lalaith plunders Nargothrond and uses the proceeds to change the past. Or something. Somehow. REJECTED.

SCORE: 0 OUT OF 10.

Pending:

Lalaith puts lizard into Morgoth's cushion. For some reason.

Lalaith persudes Niniel to marry Brandir instead of Turin.

Lalaith sails into the West with Beleg, Turin, Niniel, Brandir and the geese.

I'm really looking forward to seeing you tackle that last one.

Nerwen · 05-03-2010, 09:44 AM

Tell you what, though, I'm in a generous mood. You can have another shot at 5., Urwen, provided you clear up how old Lalaith is meant to be at the time. (As in, not three, I hope.)

I mean, we don't know if Beleg was married already, and he was certainly a sucker for punishment...

Over to you.

Nerwen · 05-03-2010, 09:55 AM

Note that this particular project has two parts: first, of course, Lalaith has to prevent Turin from killing Beleg. I mean, she can't very well marry him if he's dead.

Think you're up to that?

Blind Guardian · 05-03-2010, 10:16 AM

This has turned hilarious! Even though I have no clue what it's about...
