The festival (with bunnies) is Easter.
The animal food thing is Straw Heads.

Deep underground I lie.
Some question whether or not I can fly.
I was someone's bane.
Can you give my name?

(Ok, not very good poetry)

elven maiden Earwen · 07-01-2003, 10:54 AM

Deep underground I lie.-
He lived underground untill be was awoken by dwarves mining for Mithril
Some question whether or not I can fly.-
the long debate of whether balrogs havve wings or not.
I was someone's bane.-
Durin's Bane
Can you give my name?-
A balrog

Lasgalen · 07-02-2003, 04:18 AM

Correct. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

elven maiden Earwen · 07-02-2003, 07:02 PM

Ok this is probely very easy.

Messenger I am
I came to-and fro from Angband
Form was robbed from me
Unknown are the origins of thee

Beren87 · 07-02-2003, 09:35 PM

Thuringwethil? (wow I love vampires)

Mentioned once by an old dude,
to the young, perhaps falsitude

Gil-Galad · 07-07-2003, 11:04 AM

too me i think its is eiether Malbeth the Seer or Beor the old

King_Elendil · 07-20-2003, 05:33 AM

The King of the Dead Men of Dunharrow?

Beren87 · 07-22-2003, 10:25 AM

Noone has said it yet. Well, actually, I don't remember the answer to the riddle right now, but I know none of those are it. I'll give a clue after a few more guesses.

Finwe · 07-22-2003, 05:25 PM

An Ice-Man from the wastes of the north?

Beren87 · 07-26-2003, 02:02 PM

*sigh* I'm just going to give this one up to anyone who wants to go, as I can't answer my own riddle. =P

Free Thread.

Gil-Galad · 07-26-2003, 08:16 PM

i'l ltake it then

on a bookmark i am noticed as a lizard, a foul creature, but when i realize my wrongs, smoke goes west then east then gone! who am i

Gwaihir the Windlord · 07-27-2003, 01:18 AM

Err, Smaug? (Thinking 'evil lizard'; realising wrongs at death, which is why it 'went away')

Gil-Galad · 07-27-2003, 11:37 AM

nope

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 07-27-2003, 02:43 PM

It's Saruman. The bookmark has a little lizard motif-thing on it.

Gil-Galad · 07-27-2003, 05:23 PM

yoru getting closer

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 07-28-2003, 04:17 PM

Oh, so then do you mean Wormtongue?

Gil-Galad · 07-29-2003, 09:38 AM

umm explain please

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 07-29-2003, 09:54 AM

Well, I'm assuming that the Wormtongue bookmark has the little lizard thing on it. When Wormtongue considers leaving Saruman, Saruman reminds him and tells all the hobbits gathered around that Wormtongue killed Lotho, even though Grima denies it at first. It is at this time that he "realizes his wrong". He kills Saruman, and the grey mist that rises from Saruman's body "turns West then East then gone".

Gil-Galad · 07-29-2003, 04:18 PM

good and remember when anwsering a question, don't just say words, things etc. you ahev too explain them

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 07-30-2003, 07:54 PM

Okay, I'll remember that. Next one:

In life I flew from here to there,
A messenger of great despair.
Little is known of my demise,
But after death I became a disguise.
Flitting secretly to and fro,
I was a thing of ghastly shadow.

This one is rather cryptic. Good luck!

Finwe · 07-31-2003, 10:06 AM

It is Thuringwethil. She was a messenger of Morgoth, and she was killed by Luthien and her bat-hame was used by the latter to get into Angband.

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 07-31-2003, 04:11 PM

Yes, Finwe, you're correct. I realized after I posted the question that Thuringwethil had been used already, but I decided to leave it. So now it's your turn...

Finwe · 08-04-2003, 08:45 AM

What animal walked that had actually died before?

Mariska Greenleaf · 08-04-2003, 09:15 AM

Draugluin.
He was a wolf servant of Sauron, and after he was slain by Huan, Beren used his pelt as a disguise.

Finwe · 08-06-2003, 10:47 AM

Good one! Your go.

Mariska Greenleaf · 08-08-2003, 08:36 AM

thanks [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
It took me a while to come up with something, and I'm afraid this will be terribly easy and childish, I'm so sorry [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Don't look too closely
at the first of its kind
'cause before you know it
you are turning blind

Surely the greatest
not able to fly
along came a downer
who caused him to die.

Finwe · 08-09-2003, 03:26 PM

Glaurung?

Mariska Greenleaf · 08-10-2003, 07:25 AM

Glaurung it is [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
your turn [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Finwe · 08-25-2003, 08:21 PM

Eyes of this kind,
Can sometimes enchant.
Not sure of all,
But one definitely so.
Some traverse,
the airy paths,
Some traverse,
the earthen paths,
What are these
slippery, slimy,
not slippery, not slimy,
All together,
very not likeables,
creatures?

Now try to get that!

Gil-Galad · 08-28-2003, 11:26 AM

soem reason, i think Shelob

Finwe · 08-28-2003, 07:59 PM

Nope. Wrong race of evil creatures.

Voralphion · 08-28-2003, 08:22 PM

Dragons?

Gil-Galad · 08-29-2003, 12:02 PM

werewolves? or wolves basicaly

Finwe · 08-30-2003, 06:00 PM

Voralphion got it.

Voralphion · 09-01-2003, 12:57 AM

This isn't that good but:

I was lord of a host, or was it just three
I killed two of the kings that came over the sea
In Gondolin's fall I met my fate
Where I was killed by an elf lord with all of his hate.

Gwaihir the Windlord · 09-01-2003, 01:15 AM

The obvious answer regarding the last part would be Gothmog, the Uruloki; I'm not entirely sure what you mean about kings though... Sauron killed two kings, but the rest of it doesn't fit him.

Voralphion · 09-01-2003, 06:09 PM

The correct answer is Gothmog you are right Gwaihir. The first line was supposed to refer to the original host of balrogs, that was reduced to just seven or three. The line about the kings was the two high kings of the Noldor that Gothmog killed, Feanor and Fingon. I'm sorry the clue wasn't very good.
