This sounds really stupid but..... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

What if Frodo and Sam went through all that work getting to Mount Doom with Frodo losing a finger, Gollum falling in and all the rest but it turned out they had gotten the wrong volcano. I know there was only one but let's say there was more and Gollum and the ring accidently ended up in the wrong lava pit.

Just think about this. Consider this idea. Then tell me what you think and or what would have happened.

Gorwingel · 02-04-2003, 08:05 PM

Sam: Frodo I am sorry to say, I think we are at the wrong Volcano. This sign says we are at Mount Peril instead of Mount Doom.
Frodo: how far is Mount Doom from here, are we even close? We come all the way from the shire, I almost get killed by many things, we are starved and thirsty, and you say we went to the wrong Volcano? Boy, some great friend you are (Frodo starts to whisper quietly) though maybe this is good, it does mean that I get to spend some more time with my preciousss...
Sam: Oh Frodo, not again, you are starting to sound like that stinker, come on, let's get that stupid ring to the right Volcano. *Sam thinks* I wonder if this is really Mount Doom, maybe Sauron is playing a trick on us, nah, he's not that evil.

Sam: Well, Frodo. We've finally got to Mount Doom and destroyed the Ring. Middle-earth is FREE!!
Frodo: Duhhh.....
Sam: Frodo are you okay?
Frodo: Duhhh.....
*Sam snaps his fingers in front of Frodo's face and waves his hands at him*
Sam: FRODO!!! EARTH TO FRODO!!
*Frodo points to a sign in the rock*
Frodo: Duhhh........
The sign says Mt. Happy Bunnies
Frodo: Duhhh.....
Sam: Duhhh....
***THREE WEEKS LATER***
Sam: Duhhh.....
Frodo: Duhhh....
[Okay, pretty stupid, but its all i could think of. I'm tired. Time for bedses.]

Frodo would sell his ring to Sauron. Then he and Sam would use the money to pay for highly trained, expensive, elven lawyers. Lastly came the famous case "Baggins vs. Gamgee" in which they both ended up in prison for Treason.

Rumil · 02-05-2003, 07:50 PM

Sauron- I know its in this lava pit somewhere, now go and get it Snaga

Snaga- yes master, ow its hot, sssssssss

Sauron- OK then Snaga number 42,673 its your turn now......

Or ... what if Mount Doom wasn't even an ACTIVE volcano?

And so Sam and Frodo climbed wearily up the craggy mountainside, scrambling over sharp rocks, stepping tiredly over charred surfaces, and soon making their way up to the top. Frodo stood at the edge, and took out the ring. He wanted to throw it away, get it over with ... and yet ... it was HIS. A maddening thought fluttered over his head, swooping into his mind. The ring was his. His own. He claimed it.

Gollum leapt in front of Frodo, shouting, 'IT IS OURSSSSS! PRECIOUSSSS!' and bit off the hobbit's finger, spitting it out and clasping onto the ring, pushing Frodo back and dancing happily. 'Precious! Preciousss!' Then he tripped over a small pebble, falling into the blackness, which happened to be a foot-long drop, so the creature was unharmed. He was IN the Cracks of Doom. Gollum peered about. Then, suddenly, the Eye of Sauron appeared before him in a mighty, fiery flash. He boomed, 'MY RING CAME TO BACK ME'

Then Erestor appeared. 'Excuse me ... but where did you come from, Sauron?' asked the elf.

'Where did YOU come from?!' boomed Sauron as he reclaimed his ring, his spirit binding together, and all his powers back. Erestor shuffled away as Sauron regained his body.

Meanwhile, Frodo and Sam were cuddling on top a rock, offering a lovely view of Mordor and its ashen sky.

Then, suddenly, Arwen rode in on Asfaloth, making humourous quacking noises and swinging her father's sword around. And then Arwen married Legolas. Then Earendil spanked Elrond for "being a bad boy". Then Eru lit some candles and danced around like a silly person.
------------------------

That is what have happened if Mt. Doom were not active ... yes, I know I'm not funny.

Grimbold · 02-06-2003, 04:26 PM

I'd like to know what would happen if the Ring was dropped into the middle of Belegaer, the great sea. Probably, Sauron would have defeated his enemies in Middle-earth since it was not destroyed in time to turn the tide of the last battle at the Black Gate.

Oddwen · 02-21-2003, 06:20 AM

Fro: *chucks the ring in* At last we have succeeded!
Sam: *looks at sign that says "Mt. Happy Donuts* Uh, Mr. Frodo? *points*
Frodo gazes at the sign for a long moment. Finally, he peers over the edge of the ledge to the bright, glowing lava.
F: You get it.

"Mt. Happy Bunnies", LOL! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
