Yes ma'am. Your turn!

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 02-23-2003, 06:42 AM

Yes indeed you are! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Please carry on.

LePetitChoux · 02-23-2003, 09:37 AM

As much as I enjoy the films, I also wish that they'd put in the characters they skipped, like Glorfindel, Déagol, Lumpkin (Fatty I mean), Goldberry etc. But, as people with bad knowledge of french might have said in the 2nd world war, "Ah non! Il y a un bomb à d'île de pâques!" ("Oh no, there is a bomb on Easter Island!")

Annunfuiniel · 02-23-2003, 10:15 AM

My first reaction to this one: [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]
But I think I got it!

...un bomb à d'île...

Bombadil! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

LePetitChoux · 02-23-2003, 10:23 AM

Yes. You would have gotten extra marks by getting both hidden words... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 02-23-2003, 10:41 AM

Oh, it didn't even cross my mind there might be another word hidden! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] But now that you said it I had to take a closer look on your sentences. Does the 2nd word you're looking happen to be Ea (Eä)? In: ...Easter Island...
[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

LePetitChoux · 02-23-2003, 10:43 AM

Nope [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 02-23-2003, 10:55 AM

Ok, now this is really starting to bug me! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Is it Gollum then, as in ...Deagol, Lumpkin...

Yes! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Wow, I really have no idea...
Unless it is

...is pure...
Spur?

[img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 02-23-2003, 10:25 PM

Nope, sorry.
This is a bit different from the earlier ones. The word and the clue to it are in the first sentence and the second tells you how to find it.
Does this help at all?
[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Diamond18 · 02-23-2003, 11:49 PM

This is a shot in the dark, but I'm going to guess that its "Eru", because "Nothing will turn it bad" indicates that the word is turned around. Also, Eru is pure goodness and never changes, right?

Annunfuiniel · 02-23-2003, 11:56 PM

You're absolutely right! So go ahead, Diamond18. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Diamond18 · 02-24-2003, 12:45 AM

Everyone loves Varda, Elbereth, Snow-white... Or at least, all those of the firstborn.

Annunfuiniel · 02-24-2003, 02:22 AM

I can't think of anything but 'elves' in
"Everyone loves Varda..." I left the 'o' out as you left the 7 dwarves (Snow-white and the...). Quite far fetched but I tried my best. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

alaklondewen · 02-24-2003, 07:57 AM

I think it is ELVES too. Except from a different place.

Everyone loves Varda, Elbereth, Snow-white...

ELVES... The 'firstborn' refers to the first letters.

Annunfuiniel · 02-24-2003, 08:28 AM

Oh yeah, guess who feels a bit stupid now... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
Well at least I got the right word. But you're the one who deserves the credit for the right answer, alaklondewen, that is when Diamond confirms our guesses. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Diamond18 · 02-24-2003, 03:18 PM

Yep, it's "Elves", and alaklondewen guessed right about the "firstborn" part. So it's your turn. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

alaklondewen · 02-28-2003, 10:10 AM

Sorry about the delay. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Come here, Boromir! I need you to open this jar of pickles.

**The Saucepan Man** · 02-28-2003, 10:23 AM

Come here, Boromir! I need you to open this jar of pickles.

Erebor

alaklondewen · 02-28-2003, 11:59 AM

Yes. I thought it would be a bit easy. Your turn. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 02-28-2003, 07:17 PM

OK, I think this is probably pretty easy too, but here it is:

Small ornaments may be found in the Elven realm.

Durelin · 02-28-2003, 07:20 PM

mallorn?

Small ornaments.

**The Saucepan Man** · 02-28-2003, 08:09 PM

Yes, thought it was fairly easy. But it's late and my brain's tired. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Your turn, I believe ...

Durelin · 02-28-2003, 08:11 PM

I understand completely. Only way I could've gotten it anyway. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Biggest elephant alive.

Easy too, I believe.

**The Saucepan Man** · 02-28-2003, 08:49 PM

Biggeest elphant alive

Estel, meaning hope (and a former name of Aragorn, I believe).

Durelin · 03-04-2003, 05:20 PM

Yep! Omen i-Estel Edain, u-chebin estel anim. Aragorn's mother, Gilraen said this, meaning: "I gave Hope to the Dunedain, I have kept no hope for myself." Sadness. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Your turn Saucepan Man!

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-05-2003, 08:06 AM

Ta very much.

How could Shelob utter Burrahobbit's name, when She has never even visited the Barrow Downs, let alone posted on a topic here?

... And the answer's not Shelob! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

alaklondewen · 03-05-2003, 08:20 AM

Shelob utter Burrahobbit's

Butterbur!

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-05-2003, 08:36 AM

No, it was Burrahobbit ...

... Just kidding, it was indeed good old Barliman. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

"Carpet every loft, every boring old room, now," said the silver haired man whose first name was Birch.

Diamond18 · 03-05-2003, 10:17 PM

...every boring old room...

Ingold.

Silmarien · 03-05-2003, 10:59 PM

Celeborn

[ March 06, 2003: Message edited by: Silmarien ]

alaklondewen · 03-06-2003, 05:43 AM

Sorry, Diamond, Ingold was unintentional. The right answer was Celeborn. I thought "silver-haired" and "birch" (Tree-of-Silver) would be a clue.

Silmarien, the turn is yours.
