Unfortunately, in his attempt to kill Treebeard, he made Treebeard drop Gimli back into the bottomless pit.

Farael · 01-12-2006, 07:26 PM

Fortunately, as the earth is round and the pit was "bottomless" it only meant that there was an exit on the other end of the globe, which happened to be Valinor and this is where Gimli ended up.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-12-2006, 07:56 PM

. . . Celeborn got to him, and tried to send him back to Middle-earth.

'Stealing my wife, are you?!'

Hookbill the Goomba · 01-13-2006, 12:39 AM

Fortunately, Middle Earth had enough Dwarves and the Valar wanted Gimli to be a new tourist attraction in Valinor.

gralin musicteeth · 01-13-2006, 08:35 AM

Unfortunately, Gimli stepped on Tulkas' toe, and so was kicked back into Middle Earth.

Eonwe · 01-13-2006, 08:53 AM

Yeah, that's right. You don't mess with Tulkas!

Fortunately, he landed in Easy Reach of a pot roast, with massed potatoes, gravy, peas and horse radish carrots.

Precioussss · 01-13-2006, 08:55 AM

Unfortunately, Bill the Pony had got there first and eaten all the food.

Eonwe · 01-13-2006, 08:56 AM

Fortunatley, Gimli smote him a ringing blow to the head.

Precioussss · 01-13-2006, 09:02 AM

Unfortunately, Bill had still eaten all the food and there was none for Gimli.

(I really like this game!!!)

Hookbill the Goomba · 01-13-2006, 09:10 AM

Fortunately, there was more than enough food in Bill's packs.

elronds_daughter · 01-13-2006, 10:44 AM

Unfortunately, it had all spoiled, since it had been there so long. Even the lembas.

Naria · 01-13-2006, 11:39 AM

Fortunatley, Gimli and Bill were conasiours of fine rotten foods.

Hookbill the Goomba · 01-13-2006, 11:52 AM

Unfortunately, there was nothing fine about this rotten food.

gralin musicteeth · 01-13-2006, 12:46 PM

Fortunately, Bill Ferny rides up and offers Gimli and Bill a chance to win some good food in a game of cards.

Tuor in Gondolin · 01-13-2006, 01:13 PM

Unfortunately for Bill Ferny, Gimli and Bill
instead stole apples from his yard and
baked and ate excellent apple pies
(and gave the best one to Tulkus) who forgave
Gimli and escorted him and Bill to Valinor.

elronds_daughter · 01-13-2006, 04:10 PM

Unfortunately, on the way to Valinor, they came upon (and fell into) another bottomless pit.

Farael · 01-13-2006, 09:05 PM

Fortunately it has been demonstrated that all botomless pits lead to Valinor... or a Balrog's home, but as all Balrog's had been destroyed, they wound up in Valinor anyway.

Meneltarmacil · 01-13-2006, 09:18 PM

Unfortunately, Gimli actually wound up about 100 miles away from Valinor in the ocean, where he was eaten by a great white shark.

Farael · 01-14-2006, 01:35 AM

Fortunately Gimli's beard got caught in the shark's teeth and so the shark spat Gili out towards Valinor

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-14-2006, 04:50 AM

. . . he landed on Galadriel's lap.

That was unfortunate because Celeborn killed him seconds later. Killed dead, I say!

Glirdan · 01-14-2006, 08:24 AM

Fortunately, he wasn't dead because Celeborn was still in Middle-earth.

Meneltarmacil · 01-14-2006, 04:53 PM

Unfortunately, Mount Zoom ran over Gimli.

Eonwe · 01-14-2006, 05:38 PM

Fortunatley, it didn't, because Mt. Zoom resides in the much a-steamed (it has many hot-springs) Middle-Earth. (hehe

)

Meneltarmacil · 01-14-2006, 06:19 PM

Unfortunately, its built-in teleportation device ensured that it got to Valinor to run over Gimli.

Glirdan · 01-14-2006, 07:08 PM

Fortunately, the Enterprise was borrowing the teleportation device at the time.

Hookbill the Goomba · 01-15-2006, 02:32 AM

Unfortunately, to save confusion, Minas Tirith ran him over instead.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-15-2006, 04:43 AM

. . . there were two Minas Tiriths, and they were confused over who gets the wheels, so Gimli made his escape on a Taniquetil cruise missile.

Meneltarmacil · 01-15-2006, 08:20 AM

Unfortunately, the cruise missle hit a bird and exploded on contact.

gralin musicteeth · 01-15-2006, 10:38 AM

Fortunately, Bill the Pony (who had been totally forgotten about once he made it to Valinor) caught Gimli as he fell from the sky and carried him back into Valinor, where they met the Saucepan Man.

Hookbill the Goomba · 01-15-2006, 10:42 AM

Unfortunately, The saucepan man used a saucepan as a tennis racket and hit Gimli back towards Middle Earth.

elronds_daughter · 01-15-2006, 01:14 PM

Fortunately, the Saucepan Man's pan had a hole in the middle, and therefore Gimli went nowhere.

Farael · 01-15-2006, 01:20 PM

Unfortunately he actually went nowhere, meaning the void.... along with Morgoth

Hookbill the Goomba · 01-15-2006, 01:22 PM

Fortunately, Morgoth had become quite civilised and offered Gimli a nice cup of tea.

The 1,000 Reader · 01-15-2006, 01:52 PM

Unfortunately, the tea burnt Gimli's tounge.

elronds_daughter · 01-15-2006, 02:44 PM

Fortunately, Morgoth had an ice cube handy, and gave it to Gimli, who found that it lessened the pain in his tongue greatly.

Glirdan · 01-15-2006, 07:36 PM

Unfortunately, the ice was actually dry ice.

Hookbill the Goomba · 01-16-2006, 12:43 AM

Fortunately, the mist from the dry ice was so mysterious that Gimli was transported back to the Lonely Mountain.

gralin musicteeth · 01-16-2006, 07:36 AM

Unfortunately, Gimli was ambushed and taken prisoner by Fatty Lumpkin, who happened to be at the Lonely Mountain at the time.

Boromir88 · 01-16-2006, 07:42 AM

Fortunately Fatty Lumpkin didn't mean to ambush Gimli. He was actually trying to ambush Cirdan, so he let Gimli go.

gralin musicteeth · 01-16-2006, 07:45 AM

Unfortunately Gimli decides he doesn't want to live in Middle-Earth anymore. He falls into a deep despair because he can never seem to stay in Valinor for more than a sentence.
