Here's mine:

1) Unit of measure in Númenórë or Angamandi.
2) The universe tore sick mariner.
3) Half a ringbearer leads departing ones.
4) Assembly that is Quenya and father.
5) Chamber not outside, former Elven land.
6) Maiarin son of Aulendil.
7) Food-man of the Third Company.

Good luck! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

#2 Earendil: Ea (the Universe) + rend (tore) + il (ill/sick).

#5 Hollin: Holl (Hall/Chamber) + in (not outside).

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-04-2004, 10:00 PM

Slick! As always!

Oh, no! Did I just stoke your ego??? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

1) Unit of measure in Númenórë or Angamandi.
2) Eärendil-The universe tore sick mariner.
3) Half a ringbearer leads departing ones.
4) Assembly that is Quenya and father.
5) Hollin-Chamber not outside, former Elven land.
6) Aulendil-Maiarin son of Vardamir.
7) Food-man of the Third Company.

More guesses!

EDIT: Question 6 was mistyped. It's now a gift from me to you this Year 2004. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

7) Targon?

**The Saucepan Man** · 01-05-2004, 06:49 PM

#1 ëora or ëoran? Words found in Númenórë or Angamandi, possibly a unit of measurement in Rohan?

Firefoot · 01-05-2004, 07:24 PM

4) Elrond?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-05-2004, 10:11 PM

The correct answers:

1) Unit of measure in Númenórë or Angamandi.
2) Eärendil-The universe tore sick mariner.
3) Half a ringbearer leads departing ones.
4) Assembly that is Quenya and father.
5) Hollin-Chamber not outside, former Elven land.
6) Aulendil-Maiarin son of Vardamir.
7) Targon-Food-man of the Third Company.

#1: Sauce, you're almost there!
#4: No, Finwe. Assembly is a straight clue...

Celebrian · 01-06-2004, 09:59 AM

3 - Emeldir the Manhearted, mother of One-hand and leader to Brethil?

Turambar · 01-06-2004, 10:22 AM

#1 Ranga ?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-06-2004, 07:22 PM

The correct answers:

1) Ranga-Unit of measure in Númenórë or Angamandi.
2) Eärendil-The universe tore sick mariner.
3) Half a ringbearer leads departing ones.
4) Assembly that is Quenya and father.
5) Hollin-Chamber not outside, former Elven land.
6) Aulendil-Maiarin son of Vardamir.
7) Targon-Food-man of the Third Company.

Dear Celebrian, departing ones is the straight clue.

Gwaihir the Windlord · 01-06-2004, 10:23 PM

Is three possibly just Frodo?

Finwe · 01-07-2004, 06:40 PM

3) Banner?

I remember reading somewhere that the original, Westron version of "Samwise" was "Banazir," or at least I think the name in question was "Samwise."

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-07-2004, 11:13 PM

Conn, Sonar. We have two torpedoes imbound. Range is...it missed! Both answers missed!

Heni · 01-11-2004, 12:54 PM

#4: Fingon?

Finwe · 01-11-2004, 01:58 PM

# 3: Fingon (departing ones)

# 4: fassë (father + assembly)

Heni · 01-11-2004, 02:09 PM

I meant of course #3: Fingon... But all honour to Finwë if this is correct.

Firefoot · 01-11-2004, 07:56 PM

3) Cirdan?

Finwe · 01-11-2004, 07:59 PM

3) Ingwë?

Finwe · 01-11-2004, 08:00 PM

3) Ingwë?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-11-2004, 08:10 PM

Let us clarify #3 and #4:

3. The departing ones is the straight clue, and the Ringbearer mentioned has exactly an even number of letters. Which ring? It'll be yours, if you want to... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

*eeew*

4. That is really not a "cryptic clue," but a proper statement with two quotation marks removed. Put the quotation marks in the proper place, and the answer will hit you like a precision-guided Hellfire.

If you didn't notice, all your answers were shot down by my Phalanx... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

3) Elros?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-11-2004, 08:19 PM

Non.

Finwe · 01-11-2004, 08:22 PM

Golasgil?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-11-2004, 08:29 PM

Still not there.

Finwe · 01-11-2004, 08:31 PM

All right, now I'm truly stumped.

Just for the record, what exactly is a "straight clue" again? I seem to have forgotten. *blush*

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-11-2004, 08:42 PM

A new avatar??? For Finwe???

A straight clue is the one that is not cryptic( [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] ), hence what I'm looking for is the name of departing ones...

Celebrian · 01-11-2004, 10:17 PM

Ahem...
3) Elrond? Elves?

[ 8:32 AM January 12, 2004: Message edited by: Celebrian ]

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-12-2004, 07:08 PM

Not.

Finwe · 01-12-2004, 07:10 PM

I'm going to be asinine, and blatantly plagiarize Celebrian's answer. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

3) Eldar?

P.S. Yes, Nilpo, I changed my avatar. It is a picture of King Louis XIV of France, who was called Le Roi Soleil "The Sun King," which fits perfectly with my name, because Finwe's banner was a sixteen-pointed Sun, making him also "The Sun King."

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-12-2004, 07:18 PM

You're getting quite close...about a few hundred meters to the right...

*whacks self in the head*

She's not a tank gunner!

But it's close. You find a group of Eldar that has "half a ringbearer" in its name...

P.S. King Louis...hey! That's me! I'm Louis.
P.P.S. No, not the King Louis, but still a king whose name is Louis.
P.P.P.S. Not Nilpo. Nil would be fine(but that's Niluial's) or Elenrod. Please, someone use Elenrod! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Finwe · 01-12-2004, 07:22 PM

Teleri?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-12-2004, 07:25 PM

Nope...it's not in Elvish...you'll find it in UT index...

Finwe · 01-12-2004, 07:35 PM

Gnomes?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-12-2004, 07:44 PM

*shakes head*

Finwe · 01-12-2004, 07:55 PM

3) Grey Elves?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-13-2004, 07:46 PM

(Sorry for the seeming outburst, but...)

Departing ones! It's another name for the Noldor!!!

Finwe · 01-13-2004, 08:21 PM

*chuckles*

3) Noldor

I knew I would be able to drive you to an outburst eventually! Haha! I have succeeded! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-13-2004, 10:21 PM

Hehe. Not Elvish, I said.

Finwe · 01-14-2004, 06:26 PM

Damn!

Loremasters?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-15-2004, 12:02 AM

Finwe, Finwe, Finwe...your guesses are without rhyme or reason. Here's what I suggest you do: Read back, then collect all the hints. Hopefully, that will point you to the correct answer.

Good luck! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
