Orominuialwen · 07-07-2005, 03:13 PM

Ahhhh. Good one. I was looking for a specific person, which is why I didn't get it. Next letter is E.

Mettare · 07-07-2005, 06:25 PM

Is it a Queen?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-07-2005, 08:42 PM

Is it once distant but now nearer?

NightKnight · 07-08-2005, 03:01 AM

Is it a descendant of kings?

Arestevana · 07-08-2005, 07:43 AM

Is its light a sign of trouble?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-17-2005, 11:39 PM

Will it be here to answer our questions?

Orominuialwen · 07-18-2005, 11:05 AM

Sorry to be so slow in responding!

It's not Erendis, Erellont, Ereinion, or Erelas.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-18-2005, 09:05 PM

Is it once distant but now nearer?

Dimturiel · 07-19-2005, 01:25 AM

Did they separate two lands once?

Orominuialwen · 07-19-2005, 04:19 PM

It's not Ered Gorgoroth. Nilp, the only other possible answer I can think of for yours is Erech, which you already asked about, so it can't be that. What was your answer?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-19-2005, 10:36 PM

My answer was Eressëa. In HoME, it was really lonely, placed exactly between Aman and the Hither Lands, with no landmass for miles around it. By the time of the Silmarillion, it was moved closer to Aman.

Next letter, please.

You're really evil, you know that? Using HoME?

Orominuialwen · 07-20-2005, 04:21 PM

Well, I had already said that it wasn't Eressëa in post #1359, but I'll give to you anyway, seeing as I don't want the tiresome bother of having to go through every mountain range in MIddle-Earth, and the next letter will eliminate that possibility. The next letter is G.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-20-2005, 09:02 PM

How blind of me not to have seen that!

Oh, drop the bloody theatrics.

OK, so is it the land of Fëanor's grandson?

Orominuialwen · 07-20-2005, 09:58 PM

Indeed, it is Eregion. At least this way I don't have to go through the 9 different possibilities beginning with "Ered" (according to the Encyclopedia of Arda). Now that would've been a pain! It's your game, Nilp.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-20-2005, 10:12 PM

Now I'll be the one you'll be troubling with your questionsss of yours.

Let's start with a G.

Gil-Galad · 07-21-2005, 07:30 AM

Is he a awesome person? and also Wifeless

Orominuialwen · 07-21-2005, 03:38 PM

Is it a grey wizard?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-21-2005, 07:36 PM

Is he a awesome person? and also Wifeless Not Gil-Galad
Is it a grey wizard? Not Gandalf

Gil-Galad · 07-22-2005, 07:34 AM

Was he Mutilated?

Celebriel Esgaledhel · 07-22-2005, 04:15 PM

Did he know Estel?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-23-2005, 08:57 AM

Was he Mutilated? Not Gelmir
Did he know Estel? Not Glorfindel

Dimturiel · 07-23-2005, 10:34 AM

Did he betray his companions?

paavo · 07-23-2005, 03:59 PM

Did he notice something before one of the rohirrim?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-24-2005, 05:20 AM

Did he betray his companions? Not Gorlim
Did he notice something before one of the rohirrim? Not Ghân-buri-Ghân

Welcome back, paavo. I daresay you came back at a bad time--now I have to be subject to your extremely tricksy questions.

paavo · 07-24-2005, 03:02 PM

Thank yoi Nilp I'm glad to be here.

I try not to dissapoint you.

Did he tried to follow the path of a wild reindeer with fatal consequences?

(paavo)

I was kinda hoping you would. I mean, a nice clear head for me would be nice.

Did he tried to follow the path of a wild reindeer with fatal consequences? Not Glóin

Celebriel Esgaledhel · 07-24-2005, 11:03 PM

Was he related to one who tried to follow the path of a wild reindeer with fatal consequences?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-24-2005, 11:45 PM

Was he related to one who tried to follow the path of a wild reindeer with fatal consequences? Not Gimli

paavo · 07-25-2005, 04:02 AM

Ah, but don't you think that clear heads are much overappreciated? I mean isn't that what heads are made for: making them such a mess that it hurts.

Did he tried to follow the path of a wild reindeer with fatal consequences? (Now why do I have the feeling that I've seen that clause somewhere before?

(paavo)

Well, they would hurt better if they were clear.

Wait . . .

Did he tried to follow the path of a wild reindeer with fatal consequences? Let's say I give up. What's your answer?

paavo · 07-26-2005, 07:33 AM

I had already forgotten the satisfaction one gets for thinking up a guestion you can't find an answer to.

The correct answer would have been Glaurung as he tried to cross Cabed-en-aras through the same route as a a wild reindeer escaping from the hunters of Haleth. And I think we all know how Glaurungs jump over the Cabed-eb-aras ended.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-26-2005, 07:16 PM

With a pretty nasty thorn on his belly?

GR

Orominuialwen · 07-26-2005, 10:45 PM

Was it used in battle twice by great evil?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-26-2005, 10:51 PM

Was it used in battle twice by great evil? not Grond

paavo · 07-27-2005, 05:14 AM

Thorns in a belly really are nasty. They wont come out however hard you try.

Did he have too many targets?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-27-2005, 07:37 PM

Did he have too many targets? Not Greenleaf

More nasty, however, is swallowing a thorn. If it pierces your stomach, and the gastric juices ooze out, you'll slowly dissolve from the inside. A painful death.

Eeew!

Hookbill the Goomba · 07-28-2005, 02:52 AM

Is it the only one in Bywater?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-28-2005, 03:11 AM

Amanaduial the archer · 07-28-2005, 05:21 AM
