His death was caused by his escape.

I'm actually thinking Hurin.

Correct?

Eönwë · 02-19-2009, 02:47 PM

Sadly no

Inziladun · 02-28-2009, 11:23 AM

Khîm the Petty-dwarf, escaping from Túrin's band only to be shot by one of them?

Eönwë · 03-01-2009, 03:57 PM

Incorrect.

Maybe it would be better to say his freedom rather than escape (but the thing is, he freed himself, so to speak)

Inziladun · 03-01-2009, 04:51 PM

Intriguing. I'll have to give it more thought.

Eönwë · 03-16-2009, 04:01 PM

Ok, should I give a hint?

Inziladun · 03-16-2009, 05:03 PM

May as well. Apparently everyone's stymied.

Eönwë · 03-16-2009, 05:18 PM

OK. His escape did not directly cause his death. It was the reason he escaped that got him killed in the end.

Gollum?

Pitchwife · 04-12-2009, 03:58 PM

If not Khîm, what about Mîm?
He bought his life and freedom by betraying Bar-en-Danwedh to the Orcs, only to be killed for it by Hurin.

Basically, here you conceal the person/thing/place/word/quote etc. (in short, anything Tolkien-related) in a cryptic clue. This is the same principle as the cryptic clues found in crosswords.

It's been ages since I did this and I'm not sure who it was originally (I have a vague recollection that it might be Finrod, but that doesn't seem right either).

So I'll hand this thread over to whoever wants it.

The Might · 12-26-2009, 05:24 AM

Wow, long since I haven't posted, but I the Quiz Room should be kept alive!

He invited someone for a drink.

Urwen · 04-11-2010, 09:05 AM

Do you remember one whose best friend married one of them who are fallen?

Eorl of Rohan · 04-14-2010, 02:48 AM

This is really far-fetched, but Beleg? Because, well, Turin married Niniel who cast herself into a precipice on learning that she married her brother.

Urwen · 04-14-2010, 05:51 AM

No.
Hint:AKKALABETH!

Urwen · 05-04-2010, 11:30 AM

I'll change it a little:
Remember one whose best friend was married to one of those who are fallen?

Urwen · 01-28-2011, 09:18 AM

All right. I'll give the easier one:

Remember the one killed by a spouse?

Correct.

Galadriel55 · 04-26-2011, 02:08 PM

Thanks.

There was a guy whose love ran away with another

Should be pretty easy.

Urwen · 04-26-2011, 02:18 PM

Daeron? *as if, as if*

Galadriel55 · 04-26-2011, 02:42 PM

yup

Urwen · 04-26-2011, 02:47 PM

Remember the one who fulfilled a prophecy?

Galadriel55 · 04-26-2011, 02:48 PM

Yes, tonnes!

Aragorn?

Urwen · 04-26-2011, 03:17 PM

No.

Galadriel55 · 04-26-2011, 03:21 PM

Eowyn?

Urwen · 04-26-2011, 03:23 PM

Yup.

Galadriel55 · 04-26-2011, 03:24 PM

Alrighty!

Name the guy who is considered old, at least by one

Nerwen · 05-26-2011, 08:38 AM

Pippin.

Galadriel · 05-26-2011, 11:09 AM

I actually remember the answer!

Not Pippin. Sorry.

Nerwen · 05-26-2011, 08:13 PM

Bergil's uncle Iorlas, then?
