Fortunately Gildor was passing by and took the ring,
thinking it might help Gandalf escape from Orthanc.

Unfortunately Gandalf appeared behind him just as he picked up the Ring, and in his surprise Gildor let it keep rolling right into the Downs.

Fortunately, they met some helpful Downers and all had tea and biscuits and talked of many things. Of elves and dwarves and magic rings, and even if Balrogs may have wings.

Unfortunately while they were having this brillig
conversation a snark gave the ring to a wight.

JennyHallu · 02-08-2006, 12:44 PM

Fortunately the wight was far too busy being suspicious of innocent villagers to realize what the snark had put in his pocket.

Tuor in Gondolin · 02-08-2006, 02:53 PM

Unfortunately the wight's next door
neighbor had the "wight stuff",
and realized he had Ring Four so he
put it on.

Fortunately, the Ring's internal workings were overloaded by the rampant punniness and melted together, making it no more than any other ring.

Fortunately, Ring Four is just a fake; Ring One is the only one that works. And (horror of horrors) the Jabberwock had somehow got possession of said Ring One.
