Morsul the Dark · 07-30-2004, 10:49 AM

alright lets take the next step Morgoth?

The Perky Ent · 07-30-2004, 10:51 AM

Nope. Morgoth it is not.

Morsul the Dark · 07-30-2004, 10:56 AM

saruman?

The Perky Ent · 07-30-2004, 10:58 AM

No, it's not Saruman! And by the way, what's with the legend of zelda guy?

Morsul the Dark · 07-30-2004, 11:02 AM

Well i just learned of the site with tons of smileys I was seeing if they actually work

is it the Witch King?

The Perky Ent · 07-30-2004, 11:08 AM

No, It's not

Morsul the Dark · 07-30-2004, 11:12 AM

wow I'm so silly I think I found the answer

Balrog

The Perky Ent · 07-30-2004, 11:16 AM

You're close, but you still don't got it!

Morsul the Dark · 07-30-2004, 11:25 AM

Mouth of Sauron?

The Perky Ent · 07-30-2004, 03:38 PM

No, I'm afraid not

Morsul the Dark · 07-30-2004, 03:51 PM

troll?

Gil-Galad · 07-30-2004, 11:24 PM

Gothmog, Lt of Minas Morgul...maybe even Gothmog lord of Balrogs

The Perky Ent · 07-31-2004, 10:47 AM

Gil-Galad got it. But, can you explain it?

Gil-Galad · 07-31-2004, 10:51 AM

umm which one is it? Gothmog Lt or Gothmog Lord?

The Perky Ent · 07-31-2004, 10:52 AM

You tell me! You got it right, so now tell me why!

Gil-Galad · 07-31-2004, 11:01 AM

this one here is for Gothmog LT

Faced the noble-Faced Gondorians
killed the rescuer-killed some of the Rohirrim
Killed the vain-killed his own kind
and retreated into darkness-was thought to be a dark Numernorean
guarded by stone
and weilded a dwarfs favor
My kin saved the light-Numenoreans were allies of the Elves and enemies of evil people
and retreated from it-Served Sauron
Killed by the one born twice more
I ruled with a firm grip-he was second in charge of hte attack on Minas Tirith

The Perky Ent · 07-31-2004, 11:09 AM

I've got two problems with that: 1, There's some gaps, and 2, the correct answer was Gothmog the Balrog. So, please explain the Gothmog the balrog!

Gil-Galad · 07-31-2004, 11:17 AM

rightio!

Faced the noble-Faced Feanor and others...
killed the rescuer-Killed Fingon who rescued Maedrhos? and probaly some others...
Killed the vain-Killed the Men of Dor-Lomin...
and retreated into darkness-Hid in Angband when Melkor was captured
guarded by stone-7o troll Guards that turn to stone at light
and weilded a dwarfs favor- being of fire...dwarfs good with fire?
My kin saved the light- he was a fallen Avari
and retreated from it- ran away when Valar came?
Killed by the one born twice more-killed by Echthelion
I ruled with a firm grip-He was Lord of the Balrogs...very powerful

The Perky Ent · 07-31-2004, 11:20 AM

You got it. But before I give it to you, just a few corrections. 1, when I said killed the vain, I was refering to Feanor. Then, he weilded an ax, which is a dwarf's favorite weapon. Finally, when I said my kin saved the light, I am refering to Balrogs saving Morgoth and the Simarils from Ungoliant. Sorry for the corrections, but I just wanted to get it all out. Anyways, its your turn!

Gil-Galad · 07-31-2004, 11:23 AM

meh close enough...

i'll get back to you on the next question

The Perky Ent · 07-31-2004, 11:25 AM

No rush. Take your time. The more thought out, the better!

Evisse the Blue · 08-08-2004, 12:19 PM

Gil-galad, I'd say your time is up

Give us the next one!

Gil-Galad · 08-08-2004, 12:26 PM

ha forgot about it...

two people that served the "god" not much is spoken about us though, just our names and our heritage

paavo · 08-08-2004, 12:44 PM

hmm... this seems again a bit too easy...

the blue wizards, Alatar and Pallando

Gil-Galad · 08-08-2004, 12:49 PM

well its not seeing how you got it wrong

Fingolfin II · 08-08-2004, 04:46 PM

This is probably a long shot, but.....Uldor and Ulfast?

The Perky Ent · 08-08-2004, 05:09 PM

Another long shot: Elladan and Elrohir?

Gil-Galad · 08-08-2004, 05:09 PM

close but no...i also wouldn't mind some explanations

Gil-Galad · 08-08-2004, 05:10 PM

Fingolfins guess was closer

The Perky Ent · 08-16-2004, 03:20 PM

Azog and Bolg?

RadomRadagast · 09-10-2004, 01:57 PM

hum how about Merry and Pippin *falls over laughing at her stupidity*

Gil-Galad · 09-10-2004, 04:03 PM

nope, hint they were mono-evil

The Perky Ent · 09-10-2004, 04:08 PM

Uh...gollum and Smeagol?

Gil-Galad · 09-10-2004, 04:18 PM

before them...

The Perky Ent · 09-10-2004, 04:19 PM

Isildur and Sauron?

Gil-Galad · 09-10-2004, 04:22 PM

Around there time...

nobody · 12-04-2004, 11:36 AM

Herumor and Fuinur?

Gil-Galad · 12-04-2004, 12:02 PM

well you got it right, it was Herumor and Furinur, good job

nobody · 12-04-2004, 12:22 PM

This is....a mediocre riddle
Victims of the potent wrath of the one who served
he who was once dear to the heart of Amân,
only one out of the same number as the elf-banes survived,
to bring hope to the lost quest of a man.
(BTW the circumflex thing above the a is meant to be there ).

Gil-Galad · 12-04-2004, 05:13 PM

second one is Elrond... i think
