You mean she's going to drop a rock on Glaurung's head? How could she lift a rock big enough to kill him? Dragon, remember.

Like this:
Goose1:Glaurung,there's gold under that cliff! Glaurung:Show me! (Glaurung and Goose come under the cliff.Lalaith and other Goose are standing on that same cliff.They push large rock together...and Goodbye trouble.) ![]()

Not only that, it requires Lalaith and the geese to be much stronger than they possibly could be. We're talking biiiiig rock here.

I...won't...give...up
But do you know that geese were Glaurung's friends before they discovered that Lalaith was better one to follow? He's gotta trust them! ![]()

I don't think the bad guys trust even their "friends" all that much– "the treacherous are ever distrustful" you know. And Glaurung hanging out with geese? Don't buy it.

Ok,you made me seriously angry, so her's my effort:
(Lalaith is sitting on ground, stroking two geese affectionately.) Lalaith(concerned):What shall we do now? Water and rock trick failed.... Goose1(sighs):I do not know. Goose2:I've got an idea! Lalaith:What is it? (Goose2 leanes towards Lalaith and whispers something in her ear.) Lalaith:You know what? It just might work! Goose2 approaches Glaurung. Goose2:You know what!You're a sucker! Glaurung:No,I'm not! Goose2:I say you are! (Lalaith sneaks up to them and rips Glaurung's backbone out)

Look you!I've got a super maniac plan now and if you reject it,I'll trap you in a sack!
Here it is: (In a tavern,Lalaith and geese are sitting around the table,munching) Lalaith:Have you got any other idea? Goose1:Lemme think...Aha! (An hour later,in Nargothrond,Lalaith and geese have Mim the dwarf tied up.) Lalaith:Glaurung likes this treasure.Curse it! Goose1:Or I'll rip your throat out! Mim:I curse this treasure.... (Lalaith kills Mim and walks calmly out of Nargothrond, followed by geese.They rerurn to tavern and have a nice nap...) I can't think of anything else...for now!

I don't think you actually know what honor is. Look it up.
You know, chances are Beleg was already married. According to the essay in Morgoth's Ring, The Laws and Customs of the Eldar, Elves usually married young (around the age of 150 years, as I recall). Beleg most likely was already married (albight without children, as elves tried not to have children during times of war). Moreover, Lalaith would not have been worried about marriage at her young age (unless she was rather creepy ![]() Quote:

Another point: Lalaith does not seem to mind blood at all, but I do. Could you tone down the "rip out the backbone" and such like? Please? ![]()

Actually, if I squint really hard I can sort of discern a hazy glimmer of meaning– that Lalaith and her geese somehow transport the treasures of Nargothrond somewhere in order to induce Glaurung to do something, and that she had to somehow kill Mîm to do so.
But that absolutely and definitely won't work. By that point in the story, everyone was dead except Mîm, Húrin and Morwen. All over bar the shouting.

No, I got that bit. But who asked if you liked her? I couldn't find that bit.

You mean because they had no idea they were, or ever had been, allied with the enemy?
Nope. Not the same situation at all. REJECTED. Please try again.

So let's just review these "Lalaith Saves The World And Lives Happily Ever After" scenarios of yours shall we, Urwen?
1. Lalaith saves Niniel from Glaurung by distracting her. REJECTED. 2. Lalaith drugs Glaurung. REJECTED. 3. Lalaith proves she didn't kill the butterfly. REJECTED. 4. Lalaith double-crosses Morgoth at Dagor Dagorath. REJECTED. Twice. 5. Lalaith gets Beleg to marry her. REJECTED. 7. Lalaith kills Glaurung "in a second". Somehow. REJECTED. 8. Lalaith kills Glaurung by dropping a rock on his head. REJECTED. 9. Lalaith rips Glaurung's backbone out with her bare hands. REJECTED. 10. Lalaith plunders Nargothrond and uses the proceeds to change the past. Or something. Somehow. REJECTED. SCORE: 0 OUT OF 10. Pending: Lalaith puts lizard into Morgoth's cushion. For some reason. Lalaith persudes Niniel to marry Brandir instead of Turin. Lalaith sails into the West with Beleg, Turin, Niniel, Brandir and the geese. I'm really looking forward to seeing you tackle that last one. ![]()

Tell you what, though, I'm in a generous mood. You can have another shot at 5., Urwen, provided you clear up how old Lalaith is meant to be at the time. (As in, not three, I hope.)
I mean, we don't know if Beleg was married already, and he was certainly a sucker for punishment... Over to you.

Note that this particular project has two parts: first, of course, Lalaith has to prevent Turin from killing Beleg. I mean, she can't very well marry him if he's dead.
Think you're up to that?

All right.Here's another one:
(Lalaith is 23 now. And she is taking another try at destroying ovegrown thing.Geese support her,as always.) Goose1:You know,twenty years passed.We should be smarter now. Goose2:Agreed. Lalaith:And when this is all over we shall go to Valinor. (Lalaith and geese descend from pass above Nen Lalaith) To be continued... This is only the first part.More are to come.What doth thou think?

![]() And you were planning to have Beleg marry a toddler? Interesting. Well, how can we think anything yet, Urwen? Your Lalaith and her geese are big on goals– we knew that already. It's the achieving-them side of things where the problems arise.

And as for the reason for putting lizard in Morgoth's cushion-well,he killed her(or at least,planned to).He deserves sort of payback,don't you think?

(This thread really does belong in Mirth, but since the moderator there shifted the responsibility back to me, I'm keeping an eye - both, as often as I can spare them - on the posts.

It's a bit contradictory to ascribe blame to Morgoth now rather than Maedhros.

![]() Very well. She means to annoy him. Now as, we know, Morgoth doesn't respond well to being even slightly annoyed. Remember what he did when Feanor slammed the door in his face? Or when Lalaith's own father told him a few home truths? Or when Maedhros– ...Maedhros... –Wait a moment... that sounds familiar... Tell me, Urwen, if Morgoth retaliates for the lizard incident by murdering yet more innocent people, will that mean Lalaith is the real killer?

Huh? I point out that Morgoth the Dark Lord might have killed, or caused to be killed, one or two characters other than Lalaith, and you're confused? Really?
Now I'm confused. ![]() Come on, Urwen, 'fess up. You've been trolling us all the whole time, haven't you? ![]()
