rutslegolas · 09-14-2004, 12:39 AM

I think its A.

HerenIstarion · 09-15-2004, 03:50 AM

It's C. Strider to Frodo in Bree:

Quote:

'Several things,' answered Strider. 'But, of course, I have my price.'
'What do you mean?' asked Frodo sharply.
'Don't be alarmed! I mean just this: I will tell you what I know, and give you some good advice - but I shall want a reward

HerenIstarion · 09-24-2004, 08:50 AM

What news from the West, Rangers of the Dreme?

HerenIstarion · 09-30-2004, 12:27 AM

Is it C??

HerenIstarion · 09-30-2004, 03:16 AM

I would be glad to confirm your guess if only you were so kind as to provide the cirmumstances and the speaker too

Sleepy Ranger · 10-29-2004, 11:23 AM

Wow! It sure has quitened down at quotes... Time to begin the revival process.

Its C.
Said by Aragorn to Legolas & Gimli.

HerenIstarion · 10-30-2004, 01:28 AM

Go ahead

Evisse the Blue · 01-04-2005, 03:42 PM

C. I hold your oath fulfilled
D. I do not like green eggs and ham
E. I would not have it so
F. if you should pass the doors of Moria, beware

HerenIstarion · 01-05-2005, 02:44 PM

Aragorn, to no one in particular, but allegedly to Gandalf who just perished, lamenting and complaining in his bereavement and loss.

Always makes me sob, even though I know Gandalf will come back later on...

HerenIstarion · 01-05-2005, 02:46 PM

Cunningly done, Mistress - they are all alike

But I admitt my hastiness in replying, it is not F, it is B

Quote:

'Now!' said Gimli. 'Stop him, Legolas!'
'Did I not say that I wished to speak to you?' said the old man. 'Put away that bow, Master Elf!'
The bow and arrow fell from Legolas' hands, and his arms hung loose at his sides.
'And you, Master Dwarf, pray take your hand from your axe-haft, till I am up! You will not need

Old Man being Gandalf returned

cheers

Evisse the Blue · 01-05-2005, 02:57 PM

Correct indeed! I was hoping someone will fall for that trap *evil laugh*

HerenIstarion · 01-05-2005, 03:08 PM

I did. Or it was more like a stumble

Next one:

Here's the passage

A. Lots-ss of tasty goblins-sses down there, lots-ss
B. But we durstn't go in, precious, no we durstn't
C. But you cannot pass
D. It was made by those who are Dead, and the Dead keep it, until the time comes. The way is shut
E. And Aragorn may pass
F. But right or wrong, we must take the other
G. I am tired of stairs and stone passages. I would give a good deal for the feel of grass at my toes.

Evisse the Blue · 02-26-2005, 07:24 AM

Is it G?
If not a hint please.

HerenIstarion · 02-26-2005, 07:38 AM

No, not G

Hint: It is not in LoTR

Evisse the Blue · 02-26-2005, 07:42 AM

Then it's B (Gollum, in The Hobbit, chapter Riddles in the Dark).

HerenIstarion · 02-26-2005, 08:12 AM

You've got your man (hobbit? unidentified slimy creature?), lady

Evisse the Blue · 02-27-2005, 01:38 AM

Let us sit down

A. and have a bite to eat
B. and rest while we may
C. and be more at ease
D. for time has not yet come for action
E. and talk for a while
F. and then you can tell me your story
G. for we are weary with toil
H. here, near this harmless and friendly-looking willow tree.

paavo · 02-27-2005, 07:15 AM

Could it be G? I have this feeling that it is Gimli who says it although it doesn't sound like something he would say... But I'll trust my instincts (wouldn't be the first time they are wrong) and say G.

Evisse the Blue · 02-27-2005, 11:58 AM

It's neither B nor G.

The Elf-warrior · 02-27-2005, 09:28 PM

I think it's F.

paavo · 02-28-2005, 10:14 AM

It has to be E said by Faramir to Frodo and Sam. My sixth sense cannot be wrong!

Evisse the Blue · 02-28-2005, 10:30 AM

It's E alright. But it's Gandalf to Aragorn and Gimli.

However, it could also be Faramir to Frodo and Sam, I haven't checked.
In any case, you've got the right answer - thread is yours.

paavo · 02-28-2005, 12:33 PM

A little finetuning and my sixth sense shall be unerring!

But to the business:

I seek the Paths of the Dead! Come with me

a. who dare.
b. who are not afraid of the dead.
c. Legolas and Gimli.
d. to the halls of the betrayers.
e. who will!
f. if your heart does not quail before the ghosts of Men.
h. if you will pass through hundreds of thousands of miniature skulls!

have fun!

Firefoot · 02-28-2005, 03:22 PM

It's E. Said by Aragorn to Gimli and Legolas and the Dunedain (and others?).

paavo · 03-01-2005, 08:40 AM

E it is. well done.

Firefoot · 03-01-2005, 03:11 PM

"You have doomed yourselves

A. to death in battle."
B. so will you not now listen to my counsel?"
C. yet not all is lost, maybe."
D. and you know it."
E. to a hopeless chase."
F. to trust to luck again."
G. either here or wherever the black tide overtakes you."
H. and fallen into folly."

paavo · 03-02-2005, 10:12 AM

I will go again with my sixth sense and say F. The speaker could be... Gandalf?

Evisse the Blue · 03-15-2005, 08:21 AM

Firefoot, you there?

If Paavo is not correct, I'll guess C.

Firefoot · 03-15-2005, 05:02 PM

Neither of those is correct.

Sorry for the delay - my posting in quotes threads is so sporadic I forget which threads I'm in...

Sleepy Ranger · 04-05-2005, 11:52 AM

Do they still have the 10 day rule?

Quote:

The have gone

A. Up Into The Citadel
B. over the river
C. Past the mountain
D. To a place where none dare go
E. To buy new games for their PS2 of dooms.

Its E! Pick E!

paavo · 04-05-2005, 01:23 PM

could it be Gandalf about Frodo and Sam, saying that they have disappeared from the reach of his eyes?

Sleepy Ranger · 04-06-2005, 06:53 AM

Maybe.
But your sig says maybe pretty much always means no, so no!
You'll have to try harder mate.

Firefoot · 04-07-2005, 02:45 PM

D?

Éowyn about Aragorn and co.?

Sleepy Ranger · 04-07-2005, 02:50 PM

....I meant Nay! Guess again if you will. But I say its E.

Sleepy Ranger · 04-15-2005, 09:40 AM

Come on people take a shot at it.

arcticstorm · 04-30-2005, 08:35 AM

Is it A?

Firefoot · 04-30-2005, 10:01 AM

B? Mayhap Aragorn to Gandalf about Frodo and Sam?

Sleepy Ranger · 04-30-2005, 12:30 PM

It is A but who said it and to who.

Sleepy Ranger · 05-06-2005, 11:56 AM

Can't be that hard now that you have the whole quote...
