I can't seem to find the pattern. Grrr.... this is so frustrating!

Is the Password FANTASIE ?
|
Aye, Sir, starin' ya in the face like the moon a' plenilune. Di'ya need hintses for the first'un then?
~~~~~ "He sang like a starling, hummed like a honey-bee, lilted to the fiddle, clasping his river-maid round her slender middle." |
What is "Fantasie" other than the German word for fantasy ?
|
Hmmm... the only other one that I can think of for # 1 is: Fellowship.
|
Turambar:
In Bilbo's song Errantry, the term "Fantasie" is used as perhaps an imaginary land where the wanderer is "roaming over Belmarie and Thellamie and Fantasie". According to Merriam-Webster the word is used in the same context as Fantasia, (ala Chernobog [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ), to denote a "musical composition free and fanciful in form." Finwe: The Fellowship "grouping" was much nicer than the thematic one in this password puzzle. |
Fallen Kings?
|
Almost there! Look for another term.
|
Failed Kings?

[img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] In a poor attempt to provide a tricksy question, I've only tricked myself! After finding finally a map of the Third Age with political boundaries marked, here is resubmitted the first clue in (hopefully) easier form so we can wrap up sooner:
One Minas Morgulian grouping left Butterbur drooping : Fell Riders Two, a monster cache, a place of doom: Angband Three, at this age what angst a tweener would be suffering?: Nwalme, torment, tengwar#20 Is four a mound, or stone, a place for bones? : Tombs (Denethor) A fifth, a time in Bree to be mead a-drinking: Afterlithe, called "Mede" in Bree The sixth is where there lived an Inkling: Sandfield Road, Oxford Seven's a remedy for overheating: Isenmouthe (ice-in-mouth) Guess eighth and poser end is soon, for it is a burial bloom: Evermind Turambar has guessed the password, FANTASIE. <font size=1 color=339966>[ 12:14 AM December 16, 2003: Message edited by: Celebrian ] <font size=1 color=339966>[ 9:58 PM December 16, 2003: Message edited by: Celebrian ] |
I'd act silly and say Forodwaith. [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img]
|
Hmmm... no, I don't think this group of dark persons were mentioned that far north.
|
Fell Riders?
|
Verily so, Finwe! You are a good guesser!
Turambar, your turn to step up to the palantir. <font size=1 color=339966>[ 10:51 PM December 23, 2003: Message edited by: Celebrian ] |
Turambar? You there?
|
I've got a proposition:
It's been more than 10 days. Do you Passworders allow me to post my puzzle, or do we wait for Turambar? Thank you! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] ->Elenrod |
Go ahead and put yours up.
|
Here's mine:
1) Unit of measure in Númenórë or Angamandi. 2) The universe tore sick mariner. 3) Half a ringbearer leads departing ones. 4) Assembly that is Quenya and father. 5) Chamber not outside, former Elven land. 6) Maiarin son of Aulendil. 7) Food-man of the Third Company. Good luck! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] |
#2 Earendil: Ea (the Universe) + rend (tore) + il (ill/sick).
#5 Hollin: Holl (Hall/Chamber) + in (not outside). |
Slick! As always!
Oh, no! Did I just stoke your ego??? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] 1) Unit of measure in Númenórë or Angamandi. 2) Eärendil-The universe tore sick mariner. 3) Half a ringbearer leads departing ones. 4) Assembly that is Quenya and father. 5) Hollin-Chamber not outside, former Elven land. 6) Aulendil-Maiarin son of Vardamir. 7) Food-man of the Third Company. More guesses! EDIT: Question 6 was mistyped. It's now a gift from me to you this Year 2004.

7) Targon?
|
#1 ëora or ëoran? Words found in Númenórë or Angamandi, possibly a unit of measurement in Rohan?
|
4) Elrond?
|
The correct answers:
1) Unit of measure in Númenórë or Angamandi. 2) Eärendil-The universe tore sick mariner. 3) Half a ringbearer leads departing ones. 4) Assembly that is Quenya and father. 5) Hollin-Chamber not outside, former Elven land. 6) Aulendil-Maiarin son of Vardamir. 7) Targon-Food-man of the Third Company. #1: Sauce, you're almost there! #4: No, Finwe. Assembly is a straight clue... |
3 - Emeldir the Manhearted, mother of One-hand and leader to Brethil?
|
#1 Ranga ?
|
The correct answers:
1) Ranga-Unit of measure in Númenórë or Angamandi. 2) Eärendil-The universe tore sick mariner. 3) Half a ringbearer leads departing ones. 4) Assembly that is Quenya and father. 5) Hollin-Chamber not outside, former Elven land. 6) Aulendil-Maiarin son of Vardamir. 7) Targon-Food-man of the Third Company. Dear Celebrian, departing ones is the straight clue. <font size=1 color=339966>[ 8:23 PM January 06, 2004: Message edited by: Nilpaurion Felagund ] |
Is three possibly just Frodo?
|
3) Banner?
I remember reading somewhere that the original, Westron version of "Samwise" was "Banazir," or at least I think the name in question was "Samwise." |
Conn, Sonar. We have two torpedoes imbound. Range is...it missed! Both answers missed!
|
#4: Fingon?
|
# 3: Fingon (departing ones)
# 4: fassë (father + assembly) |
I meant of course #3: Fingon... But all honour to Finwë if this is correct.
|
3) Cirdan?
|
3) Ingwë?
|
3) Ingwë?
|
Let us clarify #3 and #4:
3. The departing ones is the straight clue, and the Ringbearer mentioned has exactly an even number of letters. Which ring? It'll be yours, if you want to... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] *eeew* 4. That is really not a "cryptic clue," but a proper statement with two quotation marks removed. Put the quotation marks in the proper place, and the answer will hit you like a precision-guided Hellfire. If you didn't notice, all your answers were shot down by my Phalanx...

Non.
