...so your answer is Frodo's mithril vest? Nope, try again

Sirithheruwen · 06-12-2004, 07:25 PM

All but the Silmarils were possesed by Frodo at the time to the War of the Ring?

The Perky Ent · 06-12-2004, 07:26 PM

close, but no

Sirithheruwen · 06-12-2004, 07:28 PM

I came up with a stupid answer, and tried to delete this post, but it didn't work. Hold on while I think of something else...

EDIT (to save bandwidth...I know, Saucie would be so proud!

): K, got something: Frodo's mithril vest was the only one that didn't hurt the "bad guy". The Silmaril burnt Morgoth and Ungoliant (Right??? Sorry, it's been so long! *sheepish grin*), Sting, well, obviously, and the Phial burnt Shelob's eyes.

P.S. Sorry to keep you waiting Perky!

The Perky Ent · 06-12-2004, 07:37 PM

Alrighty! I've got all the time in the world

:\ :| :/

Not really, but you get the point!

EDIT - Nope, still off. It's not what it did and think about your previous post.

Sirithheruwen · 06-12-2004, 07:59 PM

All but the Silmarils were used to aid the Ringbearer, and without said objects, he wouldn't have succeeded?

Fingolfin II · 06-12-2004, 08:47 PM

The Silmarils were the only ones not given to Frodo as a gift?

Sirithheruwen · 06-27-2004, 05:07 PM

All but the Silmarils passed over to Valinor with members of the War of the Ring? (I'm not sure about this one, it's just a wild shot in the dark.)

The Perky Ent · 06-27-2004, 08:35 PM

Yeah, it is a wild shot. The facts are wrong. So, no.

Mithalwen · 06-28-2004, 12:27 PM

Probably more confused than ever now......... hmmm...no...nothing yet aaargh.... keep on thinking it is significant that the Phial contains the light of Earendil ie a silmaril.... but it is probably a red herring..

The Perky Ent · 06-28-2004, 04:14 PM

it is. Anyways, your wrongEveryone! reread posts i've posted in this thread. It makes the way to find it very clear.

Mithalwen · 06-29-2004, 12:07 PM

Huh .. well I am still confused as to wether the right answer was the Silmarils or the mithril mail.... but since recent posts seem to have settled for the Jewels .....and geography was a clue.... and where things are not...... Silmarils because they never went to the Shire........

NightKnight · 06-13-2004, 03:54 AM

All except the Silmarils where owned by Frodo? Nah, too easy... All except the Silmarils were given as gifts?

Bombadil · 06-13-2004, 08:29 AM

How about...

All but the silmarils saved frodo from getting killed?

The Perky Ent · 06-13-2004, 10:33 AM

Nope. My thing is kinda corny, so keep that in mind.

EDIT: THIS IS MY 1,001th POST! YAY

NightKnight · 06-13-2004, 11:06 AM

Mithril vest - never owned by elves, only dwarves, dragon and hobbits.

The Perky Ent · 06-13-2004, 05:17 PM

right answer, wrong reason

NightKnight · 06-13-2004, 05:57 PM

The Silmarils were never owned by hobbits?
