...I guess I need a hint, 'cause I don't see anything.

The Perky Ent · 04-08-2004, 07:10 PM

This is a big hint, so you owe me, but...it's a hobbit!

Kath · 04-17-2004, 12:46 PM

Lotho. Its Lotho!
Um . . . Sav - a -LOT. HO!

The Perky Ent · 04-17-2004, 03:48 PM

it is most certainly lotho!

Kath · 04-18-2004, 06:54 AM

Yay - darn this means I have to make one up.

I don't know how many of you have read the Discworld novels but my favourites are the ones about Commander Vimes and his wife Sybil. Both of them are very funny, as are the books.

One word and its very easy.

Evisse the Blue · 04-18-2004, 07:57 AM

Well, I got two, Rethe:

Quote:

are the

and Bilbo:

Quote:

Sybil. Both

, but I guess the first just happened to be there by coincidence

Kath · 04-19-2004, 11:48 AM

See said it was easy.
I was only looking for Bilbo so you got it right, but extra points for rethe!

Evisse the Blue · 04-20-2004, 03:27 AM

Thanks for the extra points, Kath.
Ok, let's see...

He pushed open the door of his room in the new age hotel. 'A normal one would be better', he thought gloomily. The radio in the walls was shrieking: 'Life is a cabaret, old chum'. Barely seeing his way through the dimly lit room, he moved towards a many- layered window to pull open the blinds. 'Cabaret, heh, yeah, right!' he mumbled ironically, at the scene that greeted him.

There's four to be found.

Kath · 04-20-2004, 03:02 PM

You're welcome.
I found:
ent - opEN The
elanor - hotEL. 'ANORmal
sam - towardS A Many
rethe - cabaRET, HEh

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-20-2004, 07:23 PM

There's also " A normal one" - Ormal.

Evisse the Blue · 04-22-2004, 06:10 AM

Kath, you got two that I had in mind (Elanor and Rethe) and two which I didn't (Sam and Ent), for which you get a bonus!

Saucepan Man gets bonus point as well for Ormal.

There's still two place names to be found though, so keep browsing!

Kath · 04-22-2004, 01:45 PM

I can't really see amy more except that every time I look at it I find
humbar - cHUM'. BARely

Mad Baggins · 04-22-2004, 05:03 PM

I found Oin:
radio in

And you may see humbar, but I see Umbar.

Evisse the Blue · 04-23-2004, 04:28 AM

umbar is correct but you keep missing that heavenly place called ....

Mad Baggins · 04-23-2004, 06:40 PM

'A normal

I found Anor, as in Minas Anor. That's the best I can do...if that isn't it I'm stumped.

Evisse the Blue · 04-26-2004, 01:15 AM

You're right , Mad Baggins, but there's yet another one...ok, I'll give it away - it's Aman - towards A MANy.

Now, for points - Kath got four,
Saucepan Man- one,
Mad Baggins - three.

According to this, Kath should give us the next one!

Kath · 04-26-2004, 03:11 AM

'Quick! Eat that ham faster, we have to lay forth the anchor and save Frodo!"
Three to find and no Frodo is not one of them.

Thorongil · 04-26-2004, 03:45 AM

HAM FASTer - Hamfast
EAt - Ea
TO Lay - Tol, as in Tol Eressea

Kath · 04-26-2004, 02:10 PM

Hamfast is correct but I wasn't looking for the other two. Points for Ea but not for Tol as I'd have put the whole thing in.
Two to find.

Kath · 04-30-2004, 01:29 PM

Come on people, its not that hard I swear!

NightKnight · 04-30-2004, 01:43 PM

Quote:

lay forth the anchor

That would be Orthanc. I don't know if that's one of the words.

Kath · 04-30-2004, 01:49 PM

Yep, one more to find.

Kath · 05-07-2004, 03:44 AM

OK this is obviuosly stumping people - clue:
its in the last word

Fingolfin II · 05-07-2004, 03:59 AM

Is the last one ODO (as in Odo Proudfoot)?

Kath · 05-07-2004, 03:12 PM

Indeed, take the stage.

Kath · 05-15-2004, 03:55 AM

Fingolfin II? Are you around?

The Perky Ent · 08-06-2004, 11:43 AM

10 day rule!

It's amazing how stupid men can be. Especially from Numenor. I mean, they're so stupid! They go charging off, sending every person to their deaths! I know what a faithful would said. He'd say "Well I'm not suprised! They're idiots! Especially Ar-Pharazon. He was definitly a powerhungry idiot of a man! We actually have the common sense not to do stupid things. That's why we survive!"

Find the hidden person!

Evisse the Blue · 08-06-2004, 11:51 AM

I found Sam (it'S AMazing) and Manwe (MAN! WE actually)

The Perky Ent · 08-06-2004, 11:53 AM

You found Sam? Rock the socks! I had no idea that was there! The one I was thinking of was Manwe, so your go!

Evisse the Blue · 08-06-2004, 12:24 PM

"The river froze, Dora, see - like I told you!Let's go skating! We'll be back in time for lunch!
Two to be found.

Firefoot · 08-06-2004, 12:56 PM

Edoras (frozE, DORA, See) and Ingwe (skatING! WE'll)

Evisse the Blue · 08-06-2004, 01:03 PM

Correct, your turn!

Firefoot · 08-06-2004, 01:47 PM

Thanks!

The armor went when the knight left, but he forgot the helmet. He also left his horse.

Samwise · 08-06-2004, 02:00 PM

I found Ent (went) and ea (or is that a word...?He also ....but how many words are there?

Evisse the Blue · 08-06-2004, 02:07 PM

There's also Morwen (arMOR WENt)

Firefoot · 08-06-2004, 04:10 PM

I only had one that I intended. It was Morwen, so Evisse, you're up.

Evisse the Blue · 08-11-2004, 03:29 AM

Here's the next:

Someone's sabotaged my Video Game! A rascal was he who done it! Now I can only play Sam at all levels! (true story, btw...

)

Two to be found. (Sam is not one of them)

LePetitChoux · 08-11-2004, 03:13 PM

Mearas and er... Calwa?

luthien-elvenprincess · 08-11-2004, 07:27 PM

The other is Nessa?

Evisse the Blue · 08-12-2004, 04:49 AM

Mearas and Nessa are the ones I had in mind, so any of you can go, whoever thinks of a new one first, I guess.
