The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 03:23 PM

Is it a forest?

paavo · 07-23-2004, 03:23 PM

is it probably the biggest living thing in ME?

EDIT: whops, forget that question, Perky ent probably has the same answer.

Firefoot · 07-23-2004, 03:26 PM

It is not Fangorn.

paavo · 07-23-2004, 03:29 PM

is it probably the most miserable from the four?

The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 03:30 PM

Is it a forest?

Firefoot · 07-23-2004, 03:34 PM

It is not Fredegar Bolger, and it is not Forest Under Night.

paavo · 07-23-2004, 03:35 PM

is it probably the most miserable from the four?

Firefoot · 07-23-2004, 03:40 PM

I had a feeling you would ask that again... and I have no idea.

The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 03:41 PM

Firefoot, which? Or are you stumped on both and need answers for both?

Firefoot · 07-23-2004, 03:46 PM

Just paavo's question. I gave another answer for your question two posts ago.

The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 03:47 PM

Ok, sorry about that! Anyways, is it a forest?

paavo · 07-23-2004, 03:51 PM

my brilliant answer is of course... *drums* the Fourth age!

Firefoot · 07-23-2004, 04:00 PM

*groans* That was a clever question. So the next letter is I.

Perky,

Quote:

It would be best of people hold off from asking questions until the asker has given the answer that they had in mind and the next letter has been given. Otherwise it tends to get somewhat confusing.

So if your forest starts with "Fi", then you can ask your question again...

paavo · 07-23-2004, 04:04 PM

is it the shortest of the four? (ok, this is probably not so difficult anymore

)

The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 04:04 PM

Ok. Sorry. Anyways, Is it a forest?

paavo · 07-23-2004, 04:05 PM

wow, you sure do like forests, perky ent.

The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 04:09 PM

Well I am an ent, paavo

Firefoot · 07-23-2004, 04:19 PM

It is not Firien Wood, and it is not the First Age.

Is that the Forest you wanted?

The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 04:21 PM

Yes it was! Anyways, is it a son of Finwë?

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-23-2004, 04:41 PM

Is it a son of Finwe who crossed the Helcaraxe?

Firefoot · 07-23-2004, 04:45 PM

It's not Finarfin and...

Oh, Saucepan, you would figure it out, wouldn't you? Yes, it is Fingolfin.

The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 04:48 PM

D'oh! Beaten on a technicality. So, even if it's a right question, you can refuse it if there's another possibility? Ouch! That's makes it harder. Oh well, I'll just have to try harder!

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-23-2004, 05:11 PM

... although I nearly asked whether it was a son of Finwe who turned back.

So it was a 50/50 chance.

OK. The next letter is 'M'.

Ask away ...

Firefoot · 07-23-2004, 05:29 PM

Is it also known as "Mornan"?

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-23-2004, 06:41 PM

You had me using Google there. Think I've got it.

No, it's not Morthond Vale.

Firefoot · 07-23-2004, 07:23 PM

Easy? Me? Nah.

Does it have white horses?

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-23-2004, 07:39 PM

... it's not the Mearas.

Firefoot · 07-23-2004, 07:50 PM

Does it have white horses?

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-23-2004, 07:54 PM

How did I know that you were going to ask that again?

It's not the Mark.

Firefoot · 07-23-2004, 08:05 PM

Does it have white horses?

Gil-Galad · 07-23-2004, 08:25 PM

Is it a person of evil

Morsul the Dark · 07-23-2004, 08:28 PM

is a a valor who was locked in chains but escaped?

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-23-2004, 08:55 PM

... but I think that I'm on your wavelength now.

It's not Mouth (thinking of the riddle game).

Gil-Galad, it's not Mauhur.

And Morsul, it's not Morgoth.

Morsul the Dark · 07-23-2004, 08:57 PM

is it a person named melkos?

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-23-2004, 09:03 PM

No, it's not Melkor either.

Edit: I'm away 'til Sunday now. Keep asking away, but I won't be able to answer until then.

Morsul the Dark · 07-23-2004, 09:05 PM

is it the land where baradur lies?

The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 09:07 PM

Is the the one who came back?

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-23-2004, 09:18 PM

OK, I'll just answer those, then I'm off.

It's neither Mordor nor Mithrandir (the one of the Istari that we know returned to Aman).

The Perky Ent · 07-23-2004, 09:20 PM

Is it where they found the survivor?

Morsul the Dark · 07-23-2004, 09:22 PM

is it no mine it is a tomb
