That's a toughie - the quote doesn't give much away.
Is it someone from Turin's outlaw band?

There's two books out of the way. Now all that's left is the Silmarillion (I assume we aren't going to pull stuff from HoME or Letters or Farmer Giles or anything in this thread).
So the hints so far are: Gwindor & his brother, Silmarillion. I'll add one more but this should give it away: NÃ*rnaeth Arnoediad.

Should I say and let Valandil post a new one or do we let this drag on? Help a noob know what to do...

I'm new to the game too. I don't know. I'm going to take another guess and say Finrod Fingulfin

The Captain of Morgoth's Orc-host in the west was sent to draw Fingon's forces out to battle. He brought the Elf Gelmir, brother of Gwindor of Nargothrond, who had been taken prisoner in the Dagor Bragollach. He sent his heralds forward with the prisoner, they gave the quote given, then "they hewed off Gelmir's hands and feet, and his head last, within sight of the Elves, and left him."
Valandil, it appears you're up.

Edit: nevermind. I did that thing where I didn't read to the bottom of the thread.
For the record, I would like to note that I did guess the final words correctly from that quote (if I couldn't guess the speaker). My post was ignored and in a slightly selfish little tantrum, I'd like everyone to know that I figured them out! =D Val can go ahead and take it, though. I just want some recognition. Nobody likes to be ignored.

Midge - I looked but didn't see where you posted 'find' or 'for'.
![]() But I'll go ahead and post: "Y_s/!/_h_/E_f-_a_r_o_/i_/l_o_e/!/_'m/_o_i_g/. /_u_t/_o_/s_o_/m_/t_e/_a_/u_/,/o_/I'_l/_k_n/_o_!"

Sorry, Midge, I was confused. Looking back you did guess the missing words correctly but with them listed out of context, out of order (I think you had all before deal), and with a looonnnng list of other guesses thrown in at the end, I just didn't get it. It's a lot easier (for me, anyway) when the guesser puts up the entire quote.
Apologies for my denseness, Midge. You take the next one I get right, hopefully this one: "Yes/!/The/Elf-warrior/is/loose/!/I'm/coming/. /Just/you /show/me/the/way/up/,/or/I'll/skin/you!" ~Samwise Gamgee in the Tower of Cirith Ungol

You're correct, DPR!
So I guess it's either yours, or Midge's - if she chooses to take it. ![]()

Like I said, I don't really care who posts (Heaven knows that I posted quite enough when it was just Val and me there for a while), but it's no fun being ignored. Sorry.
If none can/_e_e_s_/us, then i_d_e_/the/_v_r_a_t_n_/D_r_n_s_/shall be our lot, Thither we keep our path or _r_a_/it; but less evil shall we do in the _r_a_i_g/.

And I doubt you're getting old, Val. You probably just ate too much spaghetti or something like that. It does that to you sometimes, you know!

All correct except "thither" and "path". Excellent start.

If none can release us,
then indeed the everlasting Darkness shall be our lot, Whether we keep our oath or/break/it; but less evil shall we do in the breaking.

Excellent. Capital 'E' in "Everlasting Darkness" for some reason. Remember who it was?
