The question was: Who was the only one to realize that there's a real possibility to be caught and eaten; despite the person was not cooked, as some others were?

That was only one person, and the first part is the important one.

Dunno, maybe Grishnakh?

Good, it was Grishnákh.

It was all about this moment:

Quote:

"Maggots!" jeered the Isengarders. "You're cooked. The Whiteskins will catch you and eat you. They're coming!"
A cry from Grishnákh showed that this was not mere jest.

So, taking all of it literally: we are told (by the Isengarders) that the mountain-maggots are cooked. Grishnákh is not one of them, so he is not cooked, of course. But he is the one who points out that the horsemen are indeed approaching, which would mean (again, if we trust the Isengarders) that they'll catch them and eat them.

It was a little bit of playing with logic, but here you go

Please, take the thread.

Still doesn't make sense to me.
It would mean in my opinion that someone who was not cooked realised that those who are cooked will be caught and eaten.

Maybe a bit more clarity next time...

Who set sail only after the sun set?

Yup, surely, it was just a try to do it somewhat different. Not much succesful, indeed.

Hmm... would it help if I know who it was not?

I'm thinking Eärendil, in which case it would not mean literally, but at the moment when he was risen to the skies (rising after sunset).

Not the correct answer.

Possibly Tilion?
