A nearby Pitchwife who was coating his wife in pitch heard and was inspired to draw this:

Galadriel55 saw his drawing in the pitch and told her friends Galadriel1, Galadriel2, Galadriel3, Galadriel4, Galadriel5, Galadriel6, Galadriel7, Galadriel8, Galadriel9, Galadriel10, Galadriel11, Galadriel12, Galadriel13, Galadriel14, Galadriel15, Galadriel16, Galadriel17, Galadriel18, Galadriel19, Galadriel20, Galadriel21, Galadriel22, Galadriel23, Galadriel24, Galadriel25, Galadriel26, Galadriel, Galadriel27, Galadriel28, Galadriel29, Galadriel30, Galadriel31, Galadriel32, Galadriel33, Galadriel34, Galadriel35, Galadriel36, Galadriel37, Galadriel38, Galadriel39, Galadriel40, Galadriel41, Galadriel42, Galadriel43, Galadriel44, Galadriel45,Galadriel46, Galadriel47, Galadriel48, Galadriel49, Galadriel50, Galadriel51, Galadriel52, Galadriel53, Galadriel54 and Spam that:

Eönwë was lying in a ditch, trying to look more like Strider, when he overheard the juicy gossip. As he couldn't spell some of the words, he drew a picture hoping that Gandalf would know what he meant.

Unfortunately, Eönwë sent his note down the ditch where it flowed to the sea. Fortunately, it was found by the Sea Witch. Unfortunately, Aganzir the Sea Witch had no particular love for the grey wizard and forwarded this message to him in hopes to confuse him.

Gandalf received the note in relatively short order. Upon reading it, he was observed to roll his eyes and crumple the paper before throwing it away. Sally, the observer, smoothed the note out and attempted to interpret what she read there.

A visiting Legate managed to purchase a few seconds' glance at the result, and he sent back this description to his lord and master.

His message was delivered straight to the Guardian at the gates of the city. If the Guardian hadn't been Blind, the city might have been prepared for the ensuing war. Instead, somehow, this is the visual media that was forwarded on:

Word has it that upon seeing the picture, Beregond was seen to run through the city in nothing but a towel screaming:

YAAAAAAAAY!

Lol

Wonderful! Seeing this finished was ample consolation for being D1-lynched in WW the other day.
Kudos to G55 for correctly interpreting my highly abstracted rendition of Thorin & Company (I suppose the colour-coding helped, though; see, Mr Jackson?). I'm impressed by Eönwë's blackboard demonstration - you'll do well in physics. Further applause goes to Legate for bringing up chess and BG for adding Star Wars to the mix.
Lovely game, can't wait for the big one!

I love your picture.

Should I consider that a clear sign that my brain is damaged?

...say that they laughed their heads off.

Edit: xed with Pitch. You show PJ the way to do it!

Beregond · 11-05-2011, 11:46 AM

That was a fun little round! Some nice illustrations.

Were Sally and Guardian comparing techniques?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 11-05-2011, 02:19 PM

It was a brilliant round, all the work was just great. I really like all the maths stuff (brilliant thing, and it stayed there for quite some time!), and especially kudos to Pitch for making the effort with all the colors for the Dwarves (and Thorin's!).

Aganzir · 11-05-2011, 03:54 PM

Hehehe. This was nice. I didn't know Pitch draws so well though!

How's it going with the main game?
