That's why it wasn't makeing sense! You used the later word for Sterrendei!
Which means the word is Yesterday, which was basicly Monday. |

I also came up with este (in the middle of the night mind you).
You're just to tricky. But I see how it works now. Maybe Beren87 will do one I actually have a hope of working out.

Well, it's about time!
Now, it's not suprising the fast, red firetruck was so expensive. The new models run at least into the quarter of a million dollars! Hopefully it will keep the firemen safe, especially the fire marshall. |

Hehe! That surely must be Fastred, a Knight of Rohan who fell at the Pelennor Fields.

Of Physics, he knew zero. Handing in his Mathematics homework was like torture. And Physics, he never studied or aspired to study. But he had always been interested in the study of History. He found the patterns of the migrations of people over the Ages fascinating, and experienced a great thrill every time that he traced the rise and fall of old Empires. And most of all, he delighted in seeking to understand the tactics and methods employed in the numerous Battles that had been fought throughout History.
There are three words in there, and they are related. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Hmm, I thought "Folde" might cause some problems.
But clearly not for you, pio. Well done, that is correct. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] (Btw, sorry for knocking you unconscious at the Downie Awards ceremony, but I'm sure you understand that matters were out of my hands. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] )

I have to tell you I was delighted to be knocked down by an award-winning quizzer!
Also was delighted to find a words-in-words that was place name oriented (I have a great fondness for geography and perusing maps). Will post a puzzler soon. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

There are three words, here, and a dead give away, to boot: [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
_____________________________________________ Being very fond of trains, I once took the Far Northern Line from Oregon, into Canada, and across the continent – passing from English to French, and back again, in a matter of days. The Bar Car became my usual haunt, and I sought out it out on a daily basis, liking to watch the landscape roll by as I sipped an exquisite concoction called The Flying Dutchman. I asked for the recipe on my last day aboard, and the Jamaican server flashed his gleaming smile, in response. ‘I’ll ask the chief ta instruct ya, ma’am,’ he said hurriedly. Taking another lovely tumbler of it from his cart, he daintily placed it before me. ‘Enjoy!’ he said. And I did.

Hehe. There are at least six in there:
I once took the Far Northern Line from Oregon ... Took and Arnor ... across the continent ... Ent ... and I sought out it out on a daily basis ... Dis ‘I’ll ask the chief ta instruct ya, ma’am,’ Chieftain (of the Dunlendings?) ... from his cart, he daintily placed it before me. Arthedain Oh, and Helka's there too: an exquisite concoction called The Flying Dutchman. I asked for the recipe Dutch mania [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

The ones I was looking for you got: (the heirs of Isildur) Northern Line: Arnor, Arthedain, Chieftains (& Helka will be pleased I thought of him, even if subconsciously!) Your turn! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Okey-dokey, pig in a pokey, here's the next one:
They were mainly interested in sailing and boating. Being very cliquey, they were known as the cabal. Rogues, they were considered by the townsfolk. People used to shout at them "You are the Cabal! Rogues you are!" But, this simply went to show how intolerant the townsfolk had become. There are 8 words to find in there, not all specifically Tolkien-related, but very closely linked.

Both Balrogs are valid. "Onside" and "hiss" are not. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

I found "Ent", (it was int "went"), but i dunno if it counts because its not merged between 2 words. hoom hoom.

"Boating", "rest" and "ent" are not among the words that I am looking for.
Hint: It is significant that "Balrog" appears twice. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Well, the "heading off" suggests a letter or two missing at the beginning, making the answer ostensibly Eä, but then we get the "servant, eh?", which just doesn't seem to fit! So, um, yeah. I'll go for Eä, even though I'm sure it is completely wrong.

As well as Eä, I think I spotted; Heading off sea servant, eh?
Osse the Maia, and servant of Ulmo.

Ah! Now I get it! Only I'm inclined to think that the last e comes from the "eh" rather than the "servant". But perhaps that's just me. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

The answer is indeed Osse, so you are correct Eruanna (although LePetitChoux is right about the final "e" coming from "eh").

This unfortunate roamed in the wild, never able to come to terms with his unlucky fate. Rather than accept his doom, he became a rebel, many called him an outlaw. rage overcame him when he found he had unknowingly married his sister. Eventually, giving in to fate, he took his own life.
Or is there a Turambar in there as well? I need to go to bed soon so I haven't looked tremendously hard.

Bringing this to the top.
The only (seemingly unrelated) words I've found are sun x2, dint, hew, comet and sown???

Hmm, checking back through the thread, I think I may have gone slightly *off format* with my offering [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
Tinuviel was on the right lines earlier....(hint, hint)...there are three words, all related.

I'm stumped! I've found a Turambar in there, in addition to Tinuviel Took's Turin, but it's an extremely vague Turambar, so I'm not at all sure if its right.

You're right on both counts LePetitChoux (Turambar and it is vague) There is another word in there too:
many called him an outlaw. Rage overtook him when he found he had unknowingly married his sister. Eventually, giving in to fate, he took his own life. Mormegil In using the first or last letters of words I didn't follow the format of linking the hidden words properly.....I'll do better next time. And well done to those who found them anyway! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Either you or Tinuviel should go next.
