Yep. I was wondering if everyone had forgotten about this thread.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-03-2005, 08:32 PM

Our Enemy's devices oft serve us in his despite.

Firefoot · 08-04-2005, 05:25 AM

Éomer to Théoden et al.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-04-2005, 09:23 PM

Yours again.

Firefoot · 08-05-2005, 05:47 AM

Cheers.

Firefoot · 08-05-2005, 03:30 PM

Correct.

Frodo wondering if he should tell Faramir more about his errand or not.

Guinevere · 08-07-2005, 01:59 PM

and welcome to the game, Dimturiel!

Dimturiel · 08-08-2005, 02:36 AM

Thanks!

Elrond, to Bilbo?

Dimturiel · 08-09-2005, 01:09 AM

Yep, go ahead.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-09-2005, 11:43 PM

. . . curb your pride and your greed, or you will fall at the end of whatever path you take, though your hands be full of gold.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-14-2005, 02:13 AM

Anyone? Anybody at all?

Firefoot · 08-14-2005, 02:15 AM

The guess that comes to my mind is Gandalf to Thorin, though I was unable to find it.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-14-2005, 02:37 AM

Do we accept her answer?

I say yes.

OK, then. Your thread, Firefoot.

Vy ze vay, it's in The Quest of Erebor, UT III 3.

Firefoot · 08-14-2005, 06:11 AM

Hm, I looked there too - before I looked in the Hobbit, actually. Oh well.

You bet.

Firefoot · 08-15-2005, 10:46 AM

Aragorn to the Fellowship?

Dimturiel · 08-15-2005, 11:25 AM

Aragorn, indeed but not to the Fellowship.

Firefoot · 08-15-2005, 12:22 PM

Ah, he said it to Éomer.

Dimturiel · 08-15-2005, 12:24 PM

So he did. Go ahead.

Firefoot · 08-15-2005, 12:36 PM

Cheers.

Firefoot · 08-20-2005, 01:32 PM

Gandalf, to the Council?

Guinevere · 08-21-2005, 01:24 PM

It is at the Council of Elrond, but it's Glorfindel speaking, about Saruman's statemant that the Ring was washed into the sea.

Carnimírië · 08-22-2005, 06:59 PM

You've got it, Guinevere. Your thread.

Guinevere · 08-25-2005, 01:44 PM

thank you, Carnimírië!
