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.

Unfortunately, the One Ring was destroyed a while back in this thread.... as a matter of fact, the only thing that kept the world going was that they all BELIEVED that the One Ring was still around. As this lie was uncovered, they all quickly agreed to think that the Five Ring was actually the One Ring, even though by the time he made it, Sauron was already sick or ring-making and it was actually The One (or rather Five) Necklace.

Fortunately, Sauron was able to subcontract the
making of Ring Five to the heretofore unknown
Petty Dwarf illigitimate descendents of Mim,
who were still ticked off about the treatment
of their ancestors by Men and Elves
in the First Age.
