So sorry for the delay! Some Downers came over and I completely forgot about this. You're right, of course!

Gandalf, recounting his fight with the Balrog to Aragorn, Legolas & Gimli

Pitchwife · 05-23-2015, 05:03 PM

Actually "Then darkness took me, and I strayed out of thought and time, and I wandered far on roads that I will not tell", but yeah, that's it! Over to you, Guinevere.

Guinevere · 05-23-2015, 05:17 PM

Oops, I had the whole quote written on a scrap of paper, and somehow forgot the beginning when typing it. Anyhow, it was "out of thought and time" that I recognized.

Folwren · 05-31-2015, 12:25 PM

I am leaving for a long trip today and won't be able to be on the Barrow Downs for a few weeks likely. So someone ought to take this thread. Sorry.

Guinevere · 05-31-2015, 02:18 PM

I can't take over, because I too will leave for a holiday of 4 weeks. I will probably have Internet access, but not my Tolkien books.

Guinevere · 07-23-2015, 01:35 PM

Hello Folwren, your trip (and my holidays) being over, it would be nice to continue the game! If you remember your quote, that is

Folwren · 08-02-2015, 10:49 AM

Hm. K....let me see.

Yep, I have it saved, so I'm good to continue the game.
