Waste lent Arizona

Is the answer ent, Silmarien?

Annunfuiniel · 03-07-2003, 03:50 AM

The only sound word I can get out of that is Elentári, ...Wase lent Arizona..., but I don't see how that fits the clues though. [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]
Well, isn't the first time I'm stumped. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I get Irmo... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Silmarien · 03-07-2003, 06:49 PM

Well done Annunfuiniel. Sorry but I didn't put in a clue. Your turn.

Annunfuiniel · 03-08-2003, 05:40 AM

Thank you, Silmarien. That was almost like a riddle, I so wanted to find either Narsil, Telchar or some other sword or smith in it! Well, this one will be too obvious...

Fingon's call "Aurë!" lingered still in the air when the answer came: "Auta i lómë!". And the night was over.

LePetitChoux · 03-09-2003, 04:35 PM

call "Aurë!" lingered

Laurelin? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 03-09-2003, 11:58 PM

Yes, Laurelin it is! Great job, LePetitChoux, please continue. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

LePetitChoux · 03-10-2003, 11:51 AM

<font face="Trebuchet MS" size=4 color="#FFFFFF">There were seven doors in the dimly lit chamber, all with symbols on them. On the first door (which I will call door A) was a star, and it seemed to be a happy door. Door B was sad, and had a triangle on it. Door C was scared and had a square with a dot in the middle of it. Door D was hyperactive, and had a stick-person on it. Door E was consoling, and had a spiral on it. Door F was obsessive and had a circle on it, a thick circle rather like...a ring. And, Finally, Door G was wet, as if it had just been in water, and had waves on it.
Now, our intrepid adventurer got doors F and G confused, and had lots of problems getting them the right way round again.

There are two words hidden... ("Only two? In that great big hunk of text?" I hear you cry) Good Luck! You sure do need it. And, this isn't a straightforward word in words, its a "Cryptic Clue"

Manardariel · 03-10-2003, 12:33 PM

Nenya? More guessing then finding [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

LePetitChoux · 03-10-2003, 02:27 PM

Nope! It reqiures some thought. The key thing is the last sentence. It holds the key to the mystery, hehe...

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-10-2003, 09:53 PM

Wow! Excellent clue, LePetitChoux.

I have spent ages trying to work this out (never could resist cryptic clues), so I hope it's right ...

Frodo and Drogo, anagrams of Door F and Door G.

LePetitChoux · 03-11-2003, 02:57 PM

Yay! Well done! Yay! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-12-2003, 08:46 AM

Hehe. I enjoyed that one. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Here's another (semi) cryptic clue:

The wandering elf was hidden. He trod lightly, but keen eyes and a quick wit might have observed him as he returned.

Annunfuiniel · 03-12-2003, 09:02 AM

He trod lightly...

When you read it backwards you get Gildor! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-12-2003, 12:59 PM

Bah! I'll have to make it even more cryptic next time ... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Well done, Annunfuiniel. Your turn ... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 03-13-2003, 01:10 AM

Thanks! This one will follow the line of cryptic clues...

The second and fourth books of the LoTR were of no use until I pieced its information with the UT. Then Ulmo's influence emerged to me in its full potential.

Silmarien · 03-15-2003, 09:15 PM

Would that be Tuor?

2nd and 4th of LOTR mixed with UT

Annunfuiniel · 03-16-2003, 01:30 AM

Yes indeed, Silmarien! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Feel free to proceed!

Silmarien · 03-18-2003, 06:11 PM

Evenstar wench.

Rochelle · 03-18-2003, 06:25 PM

I assume that'd be Arwen *lol*

Silmarien · 03-18-2003, 10:18 PM

Well done! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Sorry if it was too easy.
Your turn Rochelle.

LePetitChoux · 03-21-2003, 02:07 PM

AGH! The suspense is killing me! Please, please post! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Terribly sorry! I simply forgot I had posted in here *lol* Ok let's see here...

Quote:

My aunt Martha lost her goggles whilst swimming in the river.

Diamond18 · 03-21-2003, 09:16 PM

Would that be the river Thalos?

Rochelle · 03-22-2003, 12:56 AM

You would be correct! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Diamond18 · 03-23-2003, 01:24 PM

I was reading a book of the Third Age as the sun set in the west, and as I watched it march toward the horizon it turned the evening sky red.

Annunfuiniel · 03-23-2003, 02:16 PM

Red book of Westmarch? The words are there but I'm not sure about my logic here... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[ March 23, 2003: Message edited by: Annunfuiniel ]

Diamond18 · 03-23-2003, 11:11 PM

Quite so. The clue was in it being a "book of the Third Age". Okay, so I'm stretching. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Carry on.

03-25-2003, 05:10 PM

Please post! The suspense is killing me! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Annunfuiniel · 03-26-2003, 08:32 AM

Yay! That was a very good one, Diamond! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

"Give back our ring! We needsss it!", cried Gollum so that one would think even the elves beyond the Sea could have heard him.

Annunfuiniel · 03-26-2003, 09:49 AM

Ah, yes, Saucepan man, you got it! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I'm already excited; how cryptic clue will you give us this time? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[ March 26, 2003: Message edited by: Annunfuiniel ]

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-26-2003, 08:14 PM

Cryptic you want? Then cryptic you shall get. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Confused wife takes in first of Noldor.

Actually, that should be pretty easy ...

Rochelle · 03-26-2003, 08:35 PM

I'm going to say Finwë

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-26-2003, 08:50 PM

Then you're going to be correct, Rochelle. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Rochelle · 03-26-2003, 09:00 PM

Oh good [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I haven't gotten to do one of these in awhile...

"Whenever one thinks of William Shakespeare, the famous quote of Hamlet comes to mind. 'To be or not to be: that is the question.' I personally prefer to quote Juliet and say 'What's in a name? that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.'"

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-26-2003, 09:33 PM

To be or not to be

Beorn.

Rochelle · 03-26-2003, 09:44 PM

That it is [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-27-2003, 08:46 PM

Okey-dokey, here we go:

The last of the Eldar were in gold Teleri ships, but this one would never set sail.

[ March 27, 2003: Message edited by: The Saucepan Man ]

alaklondewen · 03-27-2003, 08:56 PM

This may be an accident, but going from the clue 'last'...

gold Teleri ships
