What's Missing? - Page 3 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Cúdae · 07-03-2003, 12:43 PM

Close, but not quite. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Not Eldar because of the broadness it covers and not Morequendi or the other one I can't spell, because, well, I can't spell. Think a shorter name and another branch of Elves.

I can't believe I put Nandor twice, just overlook that. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Firondoiel · 07-03-2003, 01:17 PM

Do you mean Lindar?

Cúdae · 07-03-2003, 07:18 PM

You got it, Firondoiel! Your turn! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Firondoiel · 07-05-2003, 09:40 AM

Thank you!

Isengrim II, Isumbras III, Ferumbras II,
Gerontius, Isengrim III, Isumbras IV, Paladin II, Peregrin I, Faramir I

The Thains of the Shire:

you're missing Bucca of the Marish, Gorhendad Oldbuck, 10 unspecified Oldbucks, Fortinbras I and II, Ferumbras III, Isengrim I and 8 unspecified Tooks, likely including all the Is for which there are later IIs and IIIs [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img].

You are correct of course, Mistress Sophia. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 07-22-2003, 01:47 PM

Alright, this is tricky.

Helm's Deep, the Pelennor Fields...

**The Saucepan Man** · 08-26-2003, 05:18 PM

Well, I'll go for the obvious and say the hills before Morannon, the connection being that they are all the sites of battles depicted in LotR.

If that's not it, a hint perhaps? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Evisse the Blue · 09-23-2003, 03:08 PM

*bump* Trying to guess the riddle: - for what it's worth:

Expanding on Mr Saucepan's idea:
...the Cracks of Doom. (desperate situations when victory seemed futile, but which were saved by a miraculous turn of events)?

Sleepy Ranger · 10-26-2003, 12:51 PM

I think I'll ask the next question
Boromir, Grima, Smeagol

Hint: The next one is not from LOTR

symestreem · 02-25-2004, 07:33 PM

Frodo, Sauron, Beren, Maedhros.

luthien-elvenprincess · 02-25-2004, 09:34 PM

Morgoth. Each one had a hand injured because they would not let go of a treasure...a silmarillion or the One Ring.

symestreem · 03-14-2004, 02:10 PM

Sorry, Luthien, I'd forgotten about this thread! Morgoth is correct.

luthien-elvenprincess · 03-14-2004, 09:10 PM

Ok...what (or in this case, who) is missing from this list and why?

Huan
Eomer
Grishnakh
Meklor and all other evil Valar
Merry
Eowen

Evisse the Blue · 03-23-2004, 07:56 AM

Faramir? Because they all disobeyed someone about something?

luthien-elvenprincess · 03-23-2004, 07:44 PM

I am absolutely drawing a blank concerning Faramir's disobeying someone. But that is the correct reasoning for my list. Beregond was the missing item on my list.
So, it your turn with my compliments

Oh, duh...now I remember. When he allowed Frodo and Sam to go free..or am I mixing up the movie with the book??? I can't remember.

Evisse the Blue · 03-24-2004, 06:52 AM

yes i was thinking when he allowed frodo and sam to go free, although it's made more explicit in the movie it's also in the book. But yeah, I guess Beregond is the more obvious guess. I guess I too am being brainwashed by the movie

Anyway - here's the next:

Tom Bombadil
Aragorn
Gandalf

Phervasaion · 03-24-2004, 11:50 AM

Would it be Elrond?
