C. But such an end we shall make it that it be worthy of rememberance.

Evisse the Blue · 02-24-2004, 05:49 AM

Is it D, Gandalf to Pippin?

Arvedui III · 02-24-2004, 11:09 AM

Herm...C, maybe? Theoden to Aragorn.

Sleepy Ranger · 02-24-2004, 11:55 AM

Nope, none of them.

Sleepy Ranger · 02-26-2004, 04:17 PM

Need a hint?

Eowyn Skywalker · 02-26-2004, 05:49 PM

Its A.
I recognize it... but I don't know who said it.
-Eowyn Skywalker

rutslegolas · 02-27-2004, 12:00 AM

lets see its C. Aragorn to Theoden

Sleepy Ranger · 02-27-2004, 02:28 AM

A it is. But who to whom?
HINT-Frodo wasn't born when it was spoken.

symestreem · 02-28-2004, 03:58 PM

Thorin, Dwalin, Balin, Fili, Kili, Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin, Gloin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Bilbo, or some combination of the above.

"We are trapped!" they groaned. "This is the end. We shall surely die here."-
the dwarves and Bilbo, after Smaug smashed the door and trapped them in the mountain in The Hobbit.

Sleepy Ranger · 02-29-2004, 09:55 AM

Thats it your go

symestreem · 02-29-2004, 12:42 PM

"Be not hasty...

A. There are enough chips to go around.
B. Master Meriadoc
C. You'll be letting out your own right names if you're not careful.
D. We ask a greater thing than thou knowest.
E. Let wisdom guide your course.

Thorongil · 02-29-2004, 03:34 PM

B. Treebeard to Merry.

rutslegolas · 02-29-2004, 11:18 PM

C. Treebeard to Merry
E. Faramir to Frodo

symestreem · 03-03-2004, 03:39 PM

No, no, and no. Since you have between you guessed all the logical answers except for the right one, I will give you the answer (hope nobody took me seriously about the chips).
It's from the Sil:
"But Aule said: 'Be not hasty! We ask a greater thing than thou knowest. Let him have peace yet awhile.'"
I know two of those sound like Treebeard should have said them, but I don't believe he ever uses those exact words. He usually addresses Merry as 'Merry', not 'Master Meriadoc'.
I'm not sure what correct thread procedure is in a case like this, so I'm posing another question. Whoever can identify and complete the quote from answer C can take the thread. It's not difficult.
rutslegolas, please only submit one guess at a time. It makes it more fun for the rest of us!

Arvedui III · 03-03-2004, 06:15 PM

The Sil? Ahh, that would explain why the chips answer seemed like the only one left. Would have hilarious if it was.

Quote:

You call yourselves hobbits? But you should not go telling just anybody. You'll be letting out your own right names if you're not careful.

Treebeard to Merry.

symestreem · 03-03-2004, 08:07 PM

I don't believe they had potato chips in Middle-earth. Or microchips. Perhaps they were poker chips? Or... buffalo chips.
Your turn, Arvedui.

Arvedui III · 03-03-2004, 09:17 PM

Perhaps. Herm, let's have an easy one:

"He is dead...

A. It's as I feared.
B. As he foresaw
C. I shan't ever be able to smoke again without thinking of him.
D. But not forgotten.
E. Ohohoh, look who know's so much. Turns out your friend here is only mostly dead. With mostly dead, you're still a little bit alive.

Eowyn Skywalker · 03-04-2004, 12:33 AM

The correct answer is C.
It is Merry, in regards to King Theoden's death, after he wakes up in the House of Healing, and asks Aragorn, Gandalf, and Pippin for a smoke.
And Pippin says: Smoke then, and think of him.
Or something like that.
Anyhow. the game is to name the quoter and the finished quote.
There. Is it right?
Thanks,
Eowyn SKywalker

Sleepy Ranger · 03-04-2004, 05:29 PM

I forgot this place existed.
I'm not sure. No books handy to check. But If i remmeber correct it was Eowyn to Eomer. He is dead as he foresaw.

Arvedui III · 03-04-2004, 06:38 PM

Good try, Eowyn Skywalker. C was the trap answer. Merry says a little bit before he declars not to smoke. Sleepy is right. Your go, Mr. Ranger.

Sleepy Ranger · 03-09-2004, 10:10 AM

"And there is a great deal too,"

A. If you'd like some.
B. That we want to know about you.
C. But that is not enough.
D. A bit too great for some.
E. But not great enough for me.

Mariska Greenleaf · 03-09-2004, 10:16 AM

B. that we want to know about you.

Merry to Legolas.

Sleepy Ranger · 03-09-2004, 10:21 AM

Mari, you're getting fast. Almost as fast as me.

Mariska Greenleaf · 03-09-2004, 10:25 AM

I'm working on it...

Shut the doors of the fortress and...

A. let them come!
B. stay inside.
C. light the candles.
D. go not abroad.
E. wait till morning is nigh.

Sleepy Ranger · 03-09-2004, 10:32 AM

D
Gelmir and Arminas to The King of Nargothrond at that time. That was the time Turin was around so the King was Orodreth.

Mariska Greenleaf · 03-10-2004, 02:57 AM

Yep, that's the one.

Mariska Greenleaf · 03-18-2004, 08:32 AM

bump! Sleepy?

Sleepy Ranger · 03-20-2004, 06:12 AM

That wouldn't do at all
A. I said soon not instantly
B. There must be some other path.
C. You must do something else.
D. We need a new plan.

Firefoot · 03-20-2004, 06:50 AM

So Firefoot, Planning on questioning?

Firefoot · 04-03-2004, 06:51 PM

Yeah... I really should start writing these down, which threads I guess on. Anyway -

"I wouldn't do that...
A. unless it was the only way."
B. for any money."
C. because it's dangerous."
D. if I was in your place."
E. unless I had great need of haste."

Sleepy Ranger · 04-04-2004, 08:52 AM

B.
Barliman Butterbur to Strider/Aragorn/Elessar/Thorongil etc.

Firefoot · 04-04-2004, 04:08 PM

Yes.

Thorongil · 04-29-2004, 08:04 AM
