A. and we should repay it
B. and it's approaching fast
C. and follows us hard
D. and it is on our trail

HerenIstarion · 09-06-2006, 04:34 AM

I suppose that must have been said by someone in Theoden's host (probably Aragorn) about Halbarad's company of rangers following Theoden's company. That is, it's C

Sleepy Ranger · 09-06-2006, 04:40 AM

I'm quite certain you've got the speaker down but I'm also rather certain it wasn't about Halbarad. Ah well, we'll wait for Evisse.

Evisse the Blue · 09-06-2006, 12:52 PM

Yep, it is Aragorn to Theoden. Sleepy was right as well, though, it's not about Halbarad, it's about the host of orcs.

Your thread, HI.

Evisse the Blue · 10-22-2006, 02:16 AM

HerenIstarion · 10-24-2006, 09:30 AM

Yes it is, spot on

Evisse the Blue · 10-25-2006, 02:21 PM

It was a guess by elimination. ;]

Evisse the Blue · 01-16-2011, 07:29 AM

Hint: it's spoken at the first meeting of two who would become great friends

Guinevere · 01-20-2011, 02:28 PM

It is C:

"I thank you for your fair words," said Aragorn, "and my heart desires to come with you; but I cannot desert my friends while hope remains."

spoken to Eomer in "The Riders of Rohan"

I think this remained unsolved for so long not because it was too difficult, but because nobody wanted to go to the trouble of contriving a new riddle...

Evisse the Blue · 01-21-2011, 12:59 AM

Haha maybe.
I guess this isn't a popular game...

But since you bravely took it upon yourself to answer, now it's your turn : ]

F. Let me lie down and continue my dream

Galadriel55 · 01-22-2011, 09:42 AM

I think it's C, just because it sounds familiar that way...
Oh, wait, that was Turin talking to Mablung! Wasn't it?

Guinevere · 01-22-2011, 01:54 PM

Quite right, Galadriel55, well done!

Galadriel55 · 01-22-2011, 02:41 PM

Thanks, Guinevere!

A. And I grudge the delay
B. Friend! Why so?
C. But late is better than never
D. What held you back?
E. Were you not bidden with the others?
F. the sun is already up!

Evisse the Blue · 02-06-2011, 02:37 AM

It's E, Thingol to Beleg.

Galadriel55 · 02-06-2011, 08:14 AM

You got it, Evisse!

Evisse the Blue · 02-06-2011, 11:59 AM

Evisse the Blue · 02-09-2011, 04:58 AM

Hint: It's from the Silmarillion.

Galadriel55 · 02-12-2011, 09:00 AM

I'm guessing - D. Sounds like something Beor's people said to Finrod.

Evisse the Blue · 02-12-2011, 10:19 AM

Yes!

Galadriel55 · 02-12-2011, 07:42 PM

Quote:

I spoke not

a) of the difference between the black and the gold
b) of the difference in height
c) of the one who has gone
d) to you as yet
e) of Eomer
f) of the White Lady

Hopefully it's not too obscure!

Or too easy, for that matter.
