Eomer of the Rohirrim · 04-02-2005, 12:23 PM

Fortunately, the Ringwraiths arrived right on cue, so there was no chance of the hare (Elmerf?) getting lost.

Hookbill the Goomba · 04-02-2005, 12:29 PM

Unfortunately, Eyowin came and killed the witch-king and so all the Ring-wraths were distracted by her.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 04-02-2005, 12:37 PM

Fortunately, Gimli felt the hare land on his head so, despite the little beast being invisible, the Ring's whereabouts were known.

Hookbill the Goomba · 04-02-2005, 12:41 PM

Unfortunately, the hare landed with force on Gimli's hands and broke them, so he could not catch the ring bearing hare.

Mithalwen · 04-02-2005, 01:44 PM

Fortunately Legolas' hare made a beeline for Legolas.

Hookbill the Goomba · 04-02-2005, 01:57 PM

Unfortunately, Legolas was feeling unwell and fell on top of the hare, thus trapping the ring underneath him.

Mithalwen · 04-02-2005, 01:59 PM

Fortunately Legolas was a lightweight and the hare wasn't squashed...

Firefoot · 04-02-2005, 02:02 PM

Unfortunately, the hare was so surprised that he dropped the Ring down an inconviently placed prairie dog tunnel.

Mithalwen · 04-02-2005, 02:05 PM

Fortunately Gimli was stunned enough to let his axe be used as a spade..

Boromir88 · 04-02-2005, 03:38 PM

Unfortunately, Gimli was unaware the hare was actually the vicious rabbit from Monty Python and it went rampage on his dwarf behind.

THE Ka · 04-02-2005, 08:28 PM

Fortunately, Gimli remembered to wear mithril underwear...

Mithalwen · 04-03-2005, 10:46 AM

Unfortunately even mithril undies do not give complete protection from crush injuries....

Hookbill the Goomba · 04-03-2005, 11:14 AM

Fortunately, a small mole popped out of the hole with the ring on top of his head.

Elennar Starfire · 04-03-2005, 11:43 AM

Unfortunately for the mole, Gimli's axe (still being used as a spade) was coming down fast.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 04-03-2005, 12:51 PM

Fortunately, no craft that we here possess can destroy the One Ring, so it was left untainted by the axe (although it was curtains for that poor unsuspecting mole).

Firefoot · 04-03-2005, 01:01 PM

Unfortunately, Gollum, who had been standing by, saw the Ring first, darted in, slipped on the Ring, and made his getaway.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 04-03-2005, 01:05 PM

Fortunately, the Ringwraiths agreed to help the good guys get the Ring back in exchange for some cake. So the hunt for Gollum was on.

Mithalwen · 04-03-2005, 01:14 PM

Unfortunately while all this had been going on Merry and Pippin had been quietly scoffing all the cake

Hookbill the Goomba · 04-03-2005, 01:17 PM

Fortunately, Merry and Pippin got stoned on pipe weed and couldn't see the cakes properly.

Kath · 04-03-2005, 03:47 PM

Unfortunately there were only 8 cakes left but there were 9 ring-wraiths - what to do?

Elennar Starfire · 04-03-2005, 03:57 PM

Fortunately one of the ringwraiths was on a diet.

Firefoot · 04-03-2005, 04:00 PM

Unfortunately, the Ring Wraiths realize they have been gypped because they can't eat anyway.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 04-03-2005, 08:07 PM

Fortunately for the good guys, the wraiths had already handed over the Ring.

THE Ka · 04-03-2005, 10:18 PM

Unfortunately, Sauron was too busy thinking what to do with the ring and never invented copyright laws, thus to save themselves the ringwraiths always carried extras...

~ Copyrighted Ka

Boromir88 · 04-04-2005, 06:42 PM

Fortunately Gimli injected each fell beast with a tranquilizer dart and the ringwraiths couldn't get away.

P.S. These threads are ment to go on for...ever, however, if one would like a scenario change by all means go ahead. I just don't want multiple threads going at one time.

The Elf-warrior · 04-04-2005, 07:14 PM

Unfortunately Gimli wouldn't give up the true One Ring.

Meneltarmacil · 04-04-2005, 07:42 PM

Fortunately, a cow randomly fell on Gimli's head and squished him.

Tuor of Gondolin · 04-04-2005, 08:43 PM

Joining in, since I've read the book "Fortunately" to grades 1-4 in a library,
and it's universally liked.

Unfortunately, the ring flew into the air and landed on one
of the cow's horns, causing the cow and ring to vanish from sight.

The Elf-warrior · 04-04-2005, 08:48 PM

Fortunately the cow left hoof prints thus showing Legolas where to shoot.

Firefoot · 04-04-2005, 09:15 PM

Unfortunately, Legolas has (*gasp*) run out of arrows.

Neurion · 04-05-2005, 09:13 AM

Fortunately, Pippin was standing by, and so noticing the long and awful-looking point on his barbutt Legolas seized the sturdy Hobbit without a moment's hesitation and swiftly nocking his makeshift (and recalcitrant) dart, shot him from his bow in the general direction of the unfortunate bovine whose life would be so tragically and shortly cut off totally unbeknownst to it.

Tuor of Gondolin · 04-05-2005, 09:59 AM

Unfortunately, a hungry Great Eagle was flying by and as the
unfortunate bovine reappeared scooped the cow into the air.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 04-05-2005, 10:04 AM

...fortunately, though, the Eagle was not at all interested in the One Ring. It went off to munch on the cow, leaving the Ring hanging precariously over The Two Towers movie's famous Aragorn cliff.

Evisse the Blue · 04-05-2005, 11:34 AM

Unfortunately at that exact moment a heavy wind brought from the Caradhras by infamous spells started blowing.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 04-05-2005, 11:51 AM

Fortunately the Ring was extremely heavy and the wind didn't affect it.

Unfortunately the unending activity of an inauspicious earthworm dislodged it from its precarious perch and sent it hurtling towards the water below.

Mithalwen · 04-05-2005, 12:09 PM

Unfortunately landslips do..

Fortunately, a sword fish caught it on it's nose and swam down river.

the phantom · 04-05-2005, 12:45 PM

Unfortunately, the swordfish died since it could only live in salt water.

Boromir88 · 04-05-2005, 12:48 PM

Fortunately (for Gollum) the ringwraiths were unhappy about their fell beasts being tranquilized and moved in for the attack on Aragorn and co. Leaving Gollum the perfect oppurtunity to jump in the lake after the ring.
