Probably more confused than ever now......... hmmm...no...nothing yet aaargh.... keep on thinking it is significant that the Phial contains the light of Earendil ie a silmaril.... but it is probably a red herring..

The Perky Ent · 06-28-2004, 04:14 PM

it is. Anyways, your wrongEveryone! reread posts i've posted in this thread. It makes the way to find it very clear.

Mithalwen · 06-29-2004, 12:07 PM

Huh .. well I am still confused as to wether the right answer was the Silmarils or the mithril mail.... but since recent posts seem to have settled for the Jewels .....and geography was a clue.... and where things are not...... Silmarils because they never went to the Shire........

The Perky Ent · 06-29-2004, 03:35 PM

No, but now you've got it. Just ask yourself, it was the simaril's because they weren't in (blank)

Bombadil · 06-29-2004, 04:13 PM

Silmarils weren't in Mordor?

The Perky Ent · 06-29-2004, 07:18 PM

YES! YOU GOT IT! your turn!

Bombadil · 06-29-2004, 07:48 PM

How about a Lord of The Rings one!

- The One Ring
- Lembas Bread
- Elven Rope
- Gandalf's stone on Weathertop
- Sting

NightKnight · 06-30-2004, 04:45 AM

Gandalf's stone - never touched by Gollum?

Bombadil · 06-30-2004, 09:31 AM

Haha! That was very short. Great job NightKnight

NightKnight · 06-30-2004, 11:28 AM

Hehe. Unfortunately, I'm going away again, so I declare this thread open.

Mad Baggins · 06-30-2004, 05:35 PM

Me! Haven't been here for a while, but let's give it a shot.

Narsil
Sting
Glamdring
Anduril

Gil-Galad · 06-30-2004, 05:42 PM

Anduril is only sword that has Dwarvish and Elven smithing into it, or that it was only sword to be remade/used by man

The Perky Ent · 06-30-2004, 10:21 PM

Narsil was the only one that was broken.

Mad Baggins · 06-30-2004, 10:49 PM

Gil-Galad has it.

Gil-Galad · 07-04-2004, 04:41 PM

goody....you mean me right? cause perky took my old avatar and people getting confused

Slender Bows of the Teleri
Green clothe of the Nandor
Silver mail of the Gondolithim
Iron blades of the Orcs

its both easy and hard

The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 11:40 AM

The Iron blades of the orcs is the only one used by orcS?

Gil-Galad · 07-23-2004, 12:58 PM

nope! i gotta remember the anwser to this now...

The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 02:23 PM

The green cloth is the only one that can't be used as a weapon or shield.

Gil-Galad · 07-23-2004, 03:13 PM

nope! Hint: its how these items were used, and in the manner/prediciemnt they were used as

The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 03:23 PM

The Iron blades were the only ones that weren't stolen by hobbits?

Gil-Galad · 07-23-2004, 04:59 PM

never knew the hobbits stoel gondolins mail, or teleri's bows...nope!

The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 05:00 PM

Yeah, they're nasty little theifs! Anyways, ummm, the orc swords are the only ones that were made during the third age?

Gil-Galad · 07-23-2004, 05:04 PM

Hint: it has nothing to deal with the third age..or the second for that matter

your wrong cause teleri bows would still be made across the sea

The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 09:11 PM

Well, would they really? I mean, when you're seperated from the rest of the world, and you live in a pure place, is there any need? I guess if they wanted to practice archery. When you have all eternity, there's a lot to do

Gil-Galad · 07-24-2004, 12:44 PM

Hint: nothing to do with orcs

Tuor of Gondolin · 07-24-2004, 02:21 PM

Slender Bows of the Teleri?

The other three are the primary means of protecting that group
Green clothe of the Nandor---hiding
Silver mail of the Gondolithim---armor
Iron blades of the Orcs---weapons as used defensively (to parry thrusts)

Whereas bows are more offensively oriented weapons.

Gil-Galad · 07-24-2004, 03:30 PM

close but no

NightKnight · 08-14-2004, 06:24 PM

The orc-blades weren't used in defense.

Silver Mail of Gondolin - Obvious
Green clothing - Hiding
Bows - The Teleri used them against the Noldor in Alqualonde

Gil-Galad · 08-15-2004, 10:17 AM

nope...think of the what the people used them againest

NightKnight · 08-15-2004, 03:43 PM

Then the Silver Mail is the OIO, because all the others were used against the Noldor.
