5) Alduya? (Q. treesday), Sindarin form, Orgaladhad? I've still got Mardi Gras in the head, ugh

Turambar · 02-22-2005, 07:58 PM

No, not Alduya.

#3 - scramble two words into three.

#5 - one clue in each line; all point to the same person.

Celebriel Esgaledhel · 02-25-2005, 12:47 PM

COuld #5 be Orome?

Turambar · 02-26-2005, 11:55 AM

Not Oromë.

Remember that all the clues are "cryptic", and in this case all 4 are of the same type.

3. Laer Cú Beleg, Turin's song to Beleg after he killed him (anagram of "glee curable").

Turambar · 02-28-2005, 08:39 AM

Correct!

Just #5 to go. The 4 clues are right in there.

Behold! The power of the Onodrim shall not forsake you! LIVE!

I make the 10 day rule sound fun

He who brought that which would be revived
The lands in which the stones were divided
The cleaver that belonged to the reclaimer
The last of his kind who gave shelter to the doomed.
What Bombadil argues against Treebeard to be his

Ask away!

3. Narsil

The Perky Ent · 09-01-2005, 09:18 PM

1. no, it isn't feanor.
3. Narsil is a close answers for #1. its not close for 3 though
2. Arnor is part of the answer. not in the name, but of what the name incompasses. oh wait...did i just make it too easy?

5. It's not old man willow. has nothing to do with the movies

**The Saucepan Man** · 09-02-2005, 03:51 AM
