Which Downer Am I! - Page 14 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Mithalwen · 03-16-2006, 12:51 PM

An easy one because of being over committed

Seen in the Mirror of Galadriel perhaps?

Alcarillo · 03-16-2006, 06:39 PM

Legolas, for his namesake's infamous appearance in the mirror.

Mithalwen · 03-17-2006, 06:36 AM

Ooh good thinking but the answer is much simpler.

Thinlómien · 03-17-2006, 07:49 AM

Gandalf_the_White?

mormegil · 03-17-2006, 08:19 AM

Another simple guess

SamwiseGamgee

Lalaith · 03-17-2006, 08:32 AM

well, given that Galadriel would presumably sometimes see her own reflection...we have an Alatariel, and two other variants of that name...am I warm at all?

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-17-2006, 10:16 AM

Perhaps Galadriel's Mirror would have shown her as she once was ...

GaladrieloftheOlden?

Mithalwen · 03-17-2006, 12:42 PM

Well you are more or less in the right direction if not quite on the right track.....you are all being far too specific..

Gil-Galad · 03-17-2006, 05:49 PM

hmmm... i was thinking Boromir88 cause in ze movie he appears in ze mirror ja

Mithalwen · 03-18-2006, 06:02 AM

*Smacks head against desk* Still going down the same wrong track......aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggg gggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Kath · 03-18-2006, 10:37 AM

Aiwendil? PT is Late Istar and Frodo thinks he sees Gandalf who at the time has just died.

Or am I wandering completely off track here?

Anguirel · 03-18-2006, 10:42 AM

Nah, it's going to be something really general...like "water" or "visions" methinks...but I can't yet find anything of the sort...

Mithalwen · 03-18-2006, 10:58 AM

Thank you Ang, darling, for giving me some indication that my understanding of the words "you are all being far too specific" is not exclusive to me.

Anguirel is very much on the right track and very close.

Mithalwen · 03-18-2006, 10:59 AM

But Kath is looking at the right area even on the wrong track....

Kath · 03-18-2006, 11:04 AM

Okay, Amanaduial for shadow of starlight?

Mithalwen · 03-18-2006, 11:07 AM

Ooh that is nice and possible but not the one I was thinking off.... it is slightly more specific - remember Ang was very near and I am sure you will hit it..... just have to lynch someone now...

Kath · 03-18-2006, 11:08 AM

Brinniel - reflections of darkness.

I'm running out here!

Mithalwen · 03-18-2006, 11:12 AM

Again plausible but not the one. This downer has been around more recently though it seems hasn't posted for about the same time. It is the PT that you are after...as you have clearly gathered..

Kath · 03-18-2006, 11:17 AM

While I'm looking:

symestreem - face in the water?

Mithalwen · 03-18-2006, 11:22 AM

That is the one.... too simple? Funny I don't think he/she has posted while I have been here but the PT stuck in my mind......

Over to you m'dear.

Kath · 03-18-2006, 11:27 AM

Too simple!?! It took me half an hour

Healing those in the Last Homely House.

Anguirel · 03-18-2006, 11:40 AM

I'm going to try the obvious

Elrond of Rivendell

as well as the slightly more laterally thought out

elronds_daughter

I meant that the face in the water would be the answer to what you might see in the Mirror

.. I nearly chose the dead marshes instead..

Kath · 03-18-2006, 02:07 PM

No to both I'm afraid Ang.

Had symestreem not been right that would have been where I went next!

Awww - you did well....I just htought face in teh water could have been either the mirror or the marshes but I thought the mirror was better...

Ooh I have had an idea (just been thinking about HArry Potter) but I almost don't want to be right sinceI am running out of ideas

Imladris - tears of a Phoenix? Imladris is rivendell and aren't Phoenix tears healing?

Kath · 03-18-2006, 02:16 PM

That's it Mith! I had hoped someone would be thinking along the same lines!

So mwahaha, your turn

Mithalwen · 03-18-2006, 02:27 PM

Argh.... erm

A nice tear with verve?

Kath · 03-18-2006, 02:29 PM

Encaitare - bittersweet symphony?

Mithalwen · 03-18-2006, 02:30 PM

After a full 120 seconds you get the thread back !

Kath · 03-19-2006, 11:17 AM

And yet it takes me a day to notice

A hobbit that exists yet does not.

Glirdan · 03-19-2006, 11:52 AM

burrahobbit is my immediate thought.

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-19-2006, 12:41 PM

That's it Sauce.

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-20-2006, 06:23 PM

Righty-ho.

Movie editor is partially consumed by animal - a tarantula!

Kath · 03-26-2006, 10:53 AM

Well it seems it isn't just me that's stuck on this! Can we have a clue please Sauce?

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-26-2006, 11:02 AM

The answer is staring you in the face ...

Kath · 03-26-2006, 11:13 AM

Oh my the help that was! *faints*

JennyHallu · 03-26-2006, 11:28 AM

Is it Kath? If so...I can only interprete the middle clue. Partially consumed could be "ate" without the E.

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-27-2006, 06:32 AM

Nope. Not Kath.

It is a cryptic clue, I must admit, but it's a very easy one if you know where to look.
