This seems interesting!

1) The name of land of the little folk
2) The lair of that which no man can kill
3) Home of the lords of the gifted land
4)The controlled beast
5)The crossing of that which cannot be killed
6)That which the arkenstone was said to have come from
7)The bringer of the third

Yes they're easy, but it's all i can come up with!

Morsul, even if Smeagol was the answer, I couldn't give it to you. You have to answer the questions! You can't just guess based on what letters you have, which doesn't help you, as you have none. None of your guesses were correct.

4. Sounds like coffee, all in Quenya!

6. Once camera specialists, they tried making printers. Disemvowelled, you heard, twice. Answer one is one, and so is eight! But take the third.
7. Mount this elvish element, and take the second.
8. Has hubris in one of his extremities?
9. He's a mime artist who's lost both his direction and his painter.
10. Name this county that Christ has deserted!
11. Heavenly pathway atop Mount Pelion. But initially compromised, it now gapes. Take the second.

Beren87 · 08-22-2003, 01:11 PM

Nahald, perhaps? As it's mannish for secret, and is also another name for Deagol, who held the ring.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 08-25-2003, 01:24 PM

Since it's been three days since there was any movement here I'll post the new password and let Saucepan respond to that answer in his own time.

1: Arrested elderly Hobbit
2: Dark goddess pursued by motor and chopper to a chilly spot
3: Flat, stupid and wet: why go there?
4: Ring and staff lead to destruction in deadly furnace
5: Underground king is entrance, we hear
6: Fellow among sheep tends to repeat, right? This will fence them in!
7: Note area is recipient of gifts
8: Fightin' man, you say?

Turambar · 08-25-2003, 01:32 PM

Woo hoo!

#1 Lobelia ?

#2 Helcaraxe ?

#6 Rammas Echor ?

[ August 25, 2003: Message edited by: Turambar ]

**The Saucepan Man** · 08-25-2003, 01:51 PM

Sorry for the delay. I've not been on-line over the weekend. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Beren, Nahald was the correct answer to #4. It is the original (as opposed to translated) name for Deagol and, as you say, means 'secret'.

As for the new Password:

#4 - Orodruin. ('O' is a ring, followed by 'rod' another word for a staff and 'ruin' meaning destruction. The whole is a deadly furnace.)

#5 - Durin (which sounds like 'Door-in', an entrance).

Turambar · 08-25-2003, 01:54 PM

Ah!

Then is the Password Theodred ?

Turambar · 08-25-2003, 02:01 PM

#1 Tom Cotton Sr.?

Estelyn Telcontar · 08-25-2003, 02:07 PM

#1 could be Will Whitfoot, though Théodred wouldn't work then...

Turambar · 08-25-2003, 02:22 PM

It appears that composing a Password is sometimes like making Thanksgiving dinner for a family with a lot of kids.

Hours in the making, 20 minutes to devour.

**The Saucepan Man** · 08-25-2003, 04:46 PM

Looks like Turambar's right with the Password, which should help to polish off the remainder of the Thanksgiving feast. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

#7 might be Eregion - the note 'E' plus region, meaning 'area', Eregion being where Annatar's gifts were received.

For #8, I'll guess at Duilin, which sounds like duellin', a form of fighting without the 'G'.

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 08-25-2003, 06:34 PM

Here's the current state of play:

1: Arrested elderly Hobbit
2: Helcaraxë - Dark goddess pursued by motor and chopper to a chilly spot
3: Flat, stupid and wet: why go there?
4: Orodruin - Ring and staff lead to destruction in deadly furnace
5: Durin - Underground king is entrance, we hear
6: Rammas Echor - Fellow among sheep tends to repeat, right? This will fence them in!
7: Eregion - Note area is recipient of gifts
8: Duilin - Fightin' man, you say?

Turambar has the password, which is indeed Théodred.

Turambar · 08-25-2003, 07:31 PM

#1 Tobold ? (Though I don't see arrested in there.)

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 08-26-2003, 03:09 AM

Neither do I, Turambar. I'm afraid that's not the answer.

Turambar · 08-26-2003, 06:05 AM

The Old Took ? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 08-26-2003, 06:59 AM

#3 must be Evendim (even = flat; dim = stupid; and being a lake it is clearly wet.).

No idea about #1 - I'll leave that one to you, Turambar. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh · 08-26-2003, 07:38 AM

Turambar: I was only looking for 'Took', but you're close enough.

Saucepan Man: Spot on. 'Evendim' it is.

The remains of that repast, therefore, look like this:

1: Took - Arrested elderly Hobbit
2: Helcaraxë - Dark goddess pursued by motor and chopper to a chilly spot
3: Evendim - Flat, stupid and wet: why go there?
4: Orodruin - Ring and staff lead to destruction in deadly furnace
5: Durin - Underground king is entrance, we hear
6: Rammas Echor - Fellow among sheep tends to repeat, right? This will fence them in!
7: Eregion - Note area is recipient of gifts
8: Duilin - Fightin' man, you say?

Turambar · 08-26-2003, 07:48 AM

Then it's time for FOOTBALL !!

It'll take me a day or two at least to prepare the next one. If anyone (including any potential new players) can post one in the meantime, please feel free.

Good one, Squatter.

2 Very aware, to note self.
3 Hark! Sounds like a nonuple wizard.
4 The purist's bureaucracy?
5 Better to have a happy ending, golfer removes tee and drives into small woods.

Hours in the making, 20 minutes to devour. __________________ In the upper air the fireflies move more slowly.

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] #7 might be Eregion - the note 'E' plus region, meaning 'area', Eregion being where Annatar's gifts were received. For #8, I'll guess at Duilin, which sounds like duellin', a form of fighting without the 'G'. __________________ Do you mind? I'm busy doing the fishstick. It's a very delicate state of mind!

This will fence them in! 7: Eregion - Note area is recipient of gifts 8: Duilin - Fightin' man, you say? Turambar has the password, which is indeed Théodred. __________________ Man kenuva métim' andúne?

The Saucepan Man Corpus Cacophonous Join Date: Jan 2003 Location: A green and pleasant land Posts: 8,390	#3 must be Evendim (even = flat; dim = stupid; and being a lake it is clearly wet.). No idea about #1 - I'll leave that one to you, Turambar. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] __________________ Do you mind? I'm busy doing the fishstick. It's a very delicate state of mind!

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh Spectre of Decay Join Date: Jan 2002 Location: Bar-en-Danwedh Posts: 2,178	Turambar: I was only looking for 'Took', but you're close enough. Saucepan Man: Spot on. 'Evendim' it is. The remains of that repast, therefore, look like this: 1: Took - Arrested elderly Hobbit 2: Helcaraxë - Dark goddess pursued by motor and chopper to a chilly spot 3: Evendim - Flat, stupid and wet: why go there? 4: Orodruin - Ring and staff lead to destruction in deadly furnace 5: Durin - Underground king is entrance, we hear 6: Rammas Echor - Fellow among sheep tends to repeat, right?

If anyone (including any potential new players) can post one in the meantime, please feel free. Good one, Squatter.

Rimbaud The Perilous Poet Join Date: Apr 2002 Location: Heart of the matter Posts: 1,062	As invited, here is a very quick one. I trust this will take not too much longer than its swift genesis. 1 Becomes voluble after essential potable. 2 Very aware, to note self. 3 Hark! Sounds like a nonuple wizard. 4 The purist's bureaucracy? 5 Better to have a happy ending, golfer removes tee and drives into small woods. EDIT: Last clue altered slightly, 27/08.
