Odd Man Out - Page 4 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Banazîr · 03-06-2002, 06:54 PM

I got one:

Gundor
Glador
Gloredhel
Gelmir

Bruce MacCulloch · 03-06-2002, 09:52 PM

Gloredhel - his name doesn't end with "R"! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Joy · 03-06-2002, 11:19 PM

Your part right Bruce, only Glóredhel was a she! Glóredhel was the only woman in the group.

On Glador - is this what you meant? Or did you mean Galdor? If so, he could be the odd man out, for he is the only man, the other are elves.

Telchar · 03-07-2002, 04:49 AM

Hmmm [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] You're only part right Joy - Both reasons for Gloredhel being odd out qualify.

On Galdor - he couldn't qualify being odd out because he was a MAN... as Galdor also was the name of the ELF who was send as a messenger from Cridan and who was present at the Counsil of Elrond...

Gundor however was not an elf, being the youngest son of Hador - so he could be the odd man out if you consider Galdor to be 'Galdor, messenger of Cirdan' !

Banazîr · 03-07-2002, 04:39 PM

lol you are all right but nobody said why I choose these 4 names:
Gundor
Glador
Gloredhel
Gelmir

Gundor, Galdor(sorry I meant Galdor!) and Gloredhel are brothers and sister, Gelmir isn't related to them by any family link.

Why don't you ask one, Telchar?

Telchar · 03-15-2002, 03:28 AM

OK - This one is a little different ...

The Road to Isengard
The Passing of the Grey Company
The Pyre of Denethor
Many Partings

These are of course Chapter Titles - but the titles have no signifigance - HINT: It is what happens in the three of the chapters that doesn't happen in the 4th...

[ March 15, 2002: Message edited by: Telchar ]

Narya · 03-18-2002, 02:03 PM

The Pyre of Denethor
- only chapter without poetry ?
- the only chapter that only discribes one day (no-one sleeps)

Passing of the grey company - only chappter without Gandalf

I am just guessing, because no one answered..Can you give more hints? I have somethings in mind but I have to read the chapters again..would be a good idea...
Has it something to do with death?
Or with smoking??

Luinsewiel · 03-18-2002, 03:02 PM

"Many Partings" doesn't start with "The"? Probbly not but that's all my small mind can come up with
[img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
i just read the hint so never mind

Telchar · 03-19-2002, 02:18 AM

Excellent Narya [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] - on a further note, Eomer does not speark in Tha Pyre of Denethor - but does in the other chapters. Please go on. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[ March 19, 2002: Message edited by: Telchar ]

Narya · 03-19-2002, 08:15 AM

Okay, I´ll go on

Gandalf
Eowyn
Legolas
Frodo

Telchar · 03-19-2002, 08:36 AM

I dunno, but here is some reasons that Eowyn is odd out: A: a Woman - B: not part of the fellowship - C: Never sailed West

Then again, Frodo could be the one for not wearing any shoes ;-)

Narya · 03-19-2002, 08:45 AM

No [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] -it´s something more detailed...
Something happened to 3 of them..

Telchar · 03-19-2002, 09:06 AM

Legolas was not attacked one ore more nazgul?

Narya · 03-19-2002, 09:11 AM

You are getting very close, Telchar. But that´s not what I meant...

Telchar · 03-19-2002, 10:21 AM

hmmm Gandalf never used a veapon against a nazgul?

Narya · 03-19-2002, 10:41 AM

Nope...
one hint: to one of the three it didn´t happen in LotR and it´s just mentioned once.

Narya · 03-21-2002, 10:23 AM

hmmmm... I think it`s time for another hint..(I have to admit, this question is a bit ..-strange [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] )
Okay, as said befor to 3 of them something happened, that didn´t happen to the odd man. And to one of the tree it didn´t happen in LotR. It happaned in another book (of course) and it isn´t discribed, you just get to know about it by a fact that is told in one sentence.

Watcher in the Water · 03-21-2002, 09:40 PM

Still clear as mud to me [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Manwe · 03-22-2002, 04:20 AM

Noone ever thought that Legolas was dead.

Narya · 03-22-2002, 07:22 AM

Another Hint:
The thing that happens in LotR to the two has something to do with the Nazgul. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
And to the thrid person it happened to it happened in a battle and not in LotR (some years earlier).

Turambar · 03-22-2002, 03:28 PM

Stabbed with a Morgul knife ????

If that's right, I'll guess Legolas as the Odd Man Out.

[ March 22, 2002: Message edited by: Turambar ]

Narya · 03-23-2002, 10:27 AM

Yes Turambar, Legolas is odd out!
You are very, very close about the reason why he´s odd out... Think about the kind of injury Eowyn and Frodo had after they were attacked by the nazgul...
and think about Gandalf and what happened to him in the hobbit [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
It´s about what part of the body was injured... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[ March 29, 2002: Message edited by: Narya ]

Narya · 03-31-2002, 08:35 AM

Ok, since it been a few days, I think I´ll tell you the answer...
As I´ve said befor Legolas is odd out. Because he never had an injury at the arm/shoulder. Or just because Legolas was never injured in a battle.
Frodo had after he was stabbed by the Nazgul at the Weathertop. Eowyn had too and in the Hobbit it says about Gandalf:

Quote:

... and there stood Gandalf, with his arm in a sling. Even the wizard had not escaped without a wound; and there were unharmed in the host.

So I suppose he was hurt too.
Maybe someone else posts a new question. Maybe Telchar or Turambar continue because they were close with some guesses.

Telchar · 03-31-2002, 02:40 PM

Damn We are poor! - and the question was very good - So I should think it most fair it you asked a new one yourself Narya [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Narya · 04-01-2002, 06:46 AM

Okay [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] -How about this one:

Eomer
Faramir
Aragorn
Gandalf

alaklondewen · 04-02-2002, 03:25 PM

Gandalf could be out, because the other three are Men.

[ April 02, 2002: Message edited by: alaklondewen ]

Telchar · 04-02-2002, 03:54 PM

I wote gandalf too - but because he wasn't the heir to any throne...

mordor136 · 04-02-2002, 09:28 PM

i would also say gandalf because the other three are not immortal.

Narya · 04-03-2002, 03:32 AM

No, Gandalf wasn´t what I´m thinking of...
Hint: It´s about something 3 of them did during a certain time (of the story).

alaklondewen · 04-03-2002, 09:07 AM

Is Faramir out, because he wasn't at Helm's Deep?

Narya · 04-03-2002, 09:41 AM

No....
hint: The odd man out did, what the 3 others did, after the war of the rings was won.

Turambar · 04-03-2002, 02:38 PM

Is it that Eomer didn't meet a ring bearer (Frodo or Sam) until after the war?

Narya · 04-03-2002, 03:19 PM

Yes Turambar, your turn. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Turambar · 04-08-2002, 05:19 PM

Thingol
Finarfin
Aredhel
Galadriel
Samwise

P.s. Narya you ask excellent questions; the "arm wound" one was especially good, and we should have gotten it.

Sam's a hobbit. I hope it's that simple, because if it's not I'll feel stupid.

Turambar · 04-08-2002, 05:48 PM

Not quite that easy. All but one did something.

Dior · 04-08-2002, 08:30 PM

The elves all were in Valinor? And not Sam?

alaklondewen · 04-08-2002, 08:49 PM

Didn't Finarfin stay in Aman after the exile of the Noldor (please, correct me if wrong)? If so, he would be the only one to not live in Middle Earth.

Watcher in the Water · 04-08-2002, 10:30 PM

Or is it Thingol as he never saw the shores of Valinor?
