Sting.

But of course!

Thank you, Perky.

If Thorin hadn't spoken with ________, then ________ would not have fought at the Battle of Five Armies.

Should be fairly easy ...

Fingolfin II · 04-14-2004, 12:58 AM

Gandalf, Bilbo.

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-14-2004, 11:29 AM

True, I suppose, but not what I'm looking for.

I'll edit the question to make it a bit clearer ...

Evisse the Blue · 04-14-2004, 02:34 PM

Gandalf, Beorn?

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-14-2004, 04:31 PM

Doh! Another possibility, but not the one that I have in mind.

The first blank is not Gandalf. After all, it is quite likely that the Battle of Five Armies would not have taken place at all if Thorin had never spoken to Gandalf.
