That will work...I always like to share the route I had too
Labadal-->Hurin-->Turgon-->Galadriel-->Bilbo-->Thorin

Wulf --> Frealaf --> Saruman --> Pippin/Merry --> Farmer Maggot --> Wolf
or are we not allowed to use the wizards?

Yes, the solution does need Saruman to keep it within any reasonable length.
So over to you, Fordim! And welcome to the QR. |

Herm...not an answer I had anticipated but it seems to work....
Actually, the solution I came up with has far fewer steps (only two people between Merry and Malbeth) so do we keep going or do I cede the floor?

Ummm . . .
That depends on you, I guess.

All right, then I do not cede the floor yet! At least, not for a few more days just to see if there's anyone who can come up with a more direct route...

I don't know...did Cirdan and Arvedui ever have any direct contact with one another? Cirdan sent a ship to get Arvedui but he himself did not go...so we could put the captain he sent between Cirdan and Arvedui, but that's still longer than my solution...
I am either really good at this game or just awful.... Here's a hint: think Barrow Downs

Nope...because the Witch King of Angmar never confronted Arvedui directly (so far as I can tell). Angmar's army destroyed Arvedui's kingdom, but I don't think that counts......

Nope...
But seeing as I have held up this thread for long enough, and as I am increasingly convinced that I messed up the rules, and as Nilp's dogged persistance is impressive, I shall reveal my "solution" Merry --> the fea of the slain warrior that 'possesed' him in the barrow --> Arvedui --> Malbeth the Seer In the "Fog on the Barrow Downs" chapter, when Merry awakes from his possession he at first is confused as to his identity, crying out that he has been stabbed -- he is clearly reliving the final moments of the original denizen of the barrow. And as I find it hard to believe that a foot soldier would be given such an elaborate barrow, I figured that the unnamed warrior must have been a higher-up, and thus known to Arvedui.... So did I massively mess this up or what??

So that's how you did it . . .
Quote:
Although the link between that warrior and Arvedui is tenuous. No wonder I had a tough time. When you mentioned Barrow-downs, I thought you meant the sword. The things you come up with . . . I know. And the link between the sword and Arvedui is more tenuous than that between the warrior and Arvedui. Oh, well . . . Sir Fordim, you make a nasty poser.

I'll assume it's my turn.
Carcaroth -> Khamul

The second one is correct.
Back to you.

Which?
Gothmog the winged one, or Gothmog the pink one?
Assuming the second . . . Gothmog -> Witch-King -> Merry -> Bilbo -> Master of Lake Town?

Herm...should have been clearer...it's the winged Gothmog I'm thinking of (you know, lord of the Balrogs and all that)
But by the way, the Gothmog of LotR was a Nazgul!

Oh, yeah? Prove it!
I think he was a Man who rose through the ranks by being a suck-up to Sauron. Kinda like his Mouth.
The Books thread is that way. Yeah, I know, Adam. Gothmog -> Fëanor -> Galadriel -> Bilbo

Right! I forgot the Master.
Thanks for overlooking that silly mistake, Sir Fordim. Îbal -> Amarië

I think this is virtually impossible. It was over 500 years between the founding of Rohan and the Battle of the Fords of Isen.
Éorl -> The Sons Of Eorl -> Theoden -> Céorl

easy way out
That one is easy ...
Eorl -> Ceorl There is no seperation, as "Ceorl" is simply the name for a footsoldier. Those Eorl were in contact with plenty ;o)

Ah!
But there is separation.
And I need specific names. A hint, perhaps, would help: There was a chap once removed from Eorl that was preserved all those five hundred years.

By Mortals only, you are meaning no Elves too right? And if you mean Smeagol, I don't see where he ever met anyone of Rohan

Uh . . .
Oh, right, that would work.
*sigh* I was hoping someone would pass it through Baldur, son of Brego. Oh, well. Sorry for being subject to my nitpickiness. Your turn.
