Who Am I? - Page 21 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

symestreem · 04-08-2004, 08:08 PM

Fingolfin and Finwe are both correct. Lothiriel is the maiden of the vegetable garlands, and her son Elfwine is the old intoxicant. (elf=Eldar=elder, wine=intoxicant that is also old.)
Fingolfin's turn.

Fingolfin II · 04-09-2004, 01:31 AM

I'm really bad at this sort of stuff, so Finwe can go.

Finwe · 04-09-2004, 10:55 AM

Hmm.... all right...

Dawn sea is the beginning of the third line.

NightKnight · 04-16-2004, 09:36 AM

Eomer?

The Perky Ent · 04-16-2004, 10:16 AM

Haldad?

Finwe · 04-16-2004, 08:42 PM

Eomer is correct. Yours, NightKnight.

NightKnight · 04-18-2004, 04:17 AM

I escaped fire, I endured woe,
I called for aid, then killed the black foe.
Who am I?

symestreem · 04-18-2004, 07:56 AM

Earendil?

NightKnight · 04-18-2004, 08:04 AM

Correct.

symestreem · 04-22-2004, 07:47 PM

I fought bravely and fell by an invincible hand. I lost my family, and died in a mirror that would reflect what happened to me 260 years later.

Bombadil · 04-22-2004, 08:11 PM

Boromir?

symestreem · 04-23-2004, 04:14 AM

None of the Boromirs.

Fingolfin II · 04-23-2004, 05:36 AM

Aragorn?

Finwe · 04-23-2004, 05:53 PM

Durin?

symestreem · 04-24-2004, 06:54 AM

None of the Aragorns, and none of the Durins. When I say 'invincible', I really mean invincible, but it's not old age.

Bombadil · 04-24-2004, 07:22 AM

hmmmm, It isn't Elendil, is it?

symestreem · 04-24-2004, 11:50 AM

No. Sauron was not invincible.

Gil-Galad · 04-24-2004, 10:30 PM

Fingolfin? since he died by Melkor a Valar, which was considered a God, and Gods were considered immortals

Fingolfin II · 04-24-2004, 11:11 PM

Ar-Pharazon? He was killed by Eru's earthquake.

The Perky Ent · 04-25-2004, 08:10 AM

Isildur, because he fell to the power of the ring, along with his songs?

symestreem · 04-25-2004, 12:12 PM

Nope. It's a man. And the invincible thing is really invincible; it's not a sentient being.

Gil-Galad · 04-25-2004, 02:53 PM

Denethor or the last king of Gondor?(don't remember name)

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-25-2004, 04:39 PM

Since we're over the 10 page limit, I'm closing this thread. Symestreem, could you start a new one please and include in your first post the rules for the game and a summary of where we are with your question.

Thanks.

symestreem · 04-29-2004, 04:14 PM

The point of this game is to guess the person from the information given. The information will vary, but it's rarely straightforward. Sometimes it's cryptic. (If anyone can give a better summary I'd appreciate it... I can't find the original 'Who Am I?').

Righty-ho then, the riddle on the table is

I fought bravely and fell by an invincible hand. I lost my family, and died in a mirror that would reflect what happened to me 260 years later.

We have established that
-It is not any of the Boromirs
-It is not any of the Aragorns
-It is not any of the Durins
-It is not Elendil
-It is not Fingolfin
-It is not Ar-Pharazon
-It is not Isildur
-It is not Denethor or the last king of Gondor
-It is a man
-The 'invincible hand' is really invincible- it cannot be defeated, although it does not always win. It is not sentient or sapient.

NightKnight · 04-30-2004, 03:47 AM

Is it Baldor?

symestreem · 04-30-2004, 04:56 AM

No. Think of the "mirror" part.
Hint: The 'invincible hand' also threatened the Fellowship of the Ring.

Fingolfin II · 04-30-2004, 05:11 AM

Could it be Earnur?

symestreem · 04-30-2004, 01:51 PM

No. The Nazgul are not invincible.

NightKnight · 04-30-2004, 04:00 PM

Could it be Helm? He died 260 years before Frodo and Sam looked in the Mirror of Galadriel, he lost his family, he froze to death, and cold is quite invincible.

symestreem · 04-30-2004, 05:31 PM

You're so close! Really! But the "Mirror" but is not literal. Rather, it shows a duplicate of what happened. If that helps any.

nynnd1 · 05-04-2004, 06:26 AM

I don't think it is but i'm going for a major stab in the dark, and am almost defenetly wrong.(As i am with my spelling)

Is it Theoden

NightKnight · 05-04-2004, 06:29 AM

Hama?

nynnd1 · 05-04-2004, 06:31 AM

Is it a man of Rohan?

samwise8504 · 05-04-2004, 07:17 AM

theodred

symestreem · 05-04-2004, 02:04 PM

NightKnight is correct! It is Hama, son of Helm Hammerhand.

NightKnight · 05-12-2004, 09:28 AM

Deathless, ageless, forever searching for a long lost love.

nynnd1 · 05-17-2004, 11:33 AM

It's got to be Treebeard.

NightKnight · 05-17-2004, 12:55 PM

It is.

Gil-Galad · 05-27-2004, 04:44 PM

10 days so i guess i'll try ...

in anger I rode, in disgrace I ran, fell by darkness, lifted into the light, rested afar, never shall be reached, never shall be found...Who Am I?

kinda easy and hard

Fingolfin II · 05-27-2004, 10:16 PM

Eol?
