Narnia Quote Game
This is like the Quote Game in the JRR Tolkien section, but this one is to be from quotes in the 7 books that form "The Chronicles of Narnia".
Basically, you take a quote and remove every second letter, and put a slash between words, and punctuation marks. A solution must include all words solved correctly and the correct speaker identified. Whoever solves the last element, be it quote, speaker, or both, posts the next one. It is not necessary for the one solving to say who it is said to, anything about the context, or what book it's found in. Example: "I_/i_/m_/s_o_d/_h_n_o_/,/w_t_/i_/I/_i_l_d/_h_/W_l_." Answer: "It is my sword Rhindon, with it I killed the Wolf." Peter Pevensie(from Prince Caspian) Anything from the books: The Magician's Nephew, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Horse and His Boy, Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, The Silver Chair or The Last Battle, is fair game. No movie quotes. Suggestions for posting: Some gamers find this method best, fastest, easiest and most accurate. When you've found your quote, type it all in without blanks, simply using the '/' instead of a space, as well as before and after each punctuation mark. Just after a punctuation mark can be a convenient place for a carriage return, if the spacing looks good. After typing, check for spelling and to see that all the words are correct. Then go through and replace every other letter with an underscore '_' - this goes quickly if you use the 'forward arrow' key to advance, use the 'delete' key and then add the underscore where the letter was. We try our best to solve the quotes without looking them up. However, if the one who posted the quote is away or not responding, a player may look up an attempted full solution to see if it was correct before moving on and posting the next quote. - - - - - - - - - - Here's one to start us: "O_c_/a_d/_o_/a_l/,/_/a_j_r_/y_u/_o/_e_/m_/f_e_/. /B_/a_l/_e_r_/a_d/_l_/l_v_s/,/_y/_h_/b_i_h_/s_i_s/_f/_v_r_a_d/, /_y/_h_/g_e_t/_i_n/,/_y/_s_a_/h_m_e_f/,/_/c_a_g_/y_u-"

Wow, that's a great idea!
"Once/and/for/all/,/I/a_j_r_/you/to/set/me/free/. /By/all/_e_r_/and/all/loves/,/by/the/b_i_h_/s_i_s/of/_v_r_a_d/, /by/the/great/lion/,/by/Aslan/himself/,/I/charge/you-" And the speaker is Rilian. Good first quote

Glad this is a hit with the two of you.
All correct except for "blithe" - that's the only word left to solve. (and Midge - yes it is "loves" not "lavas" - but that's a good joke, considering the context of that story. )

Yes - (and that also happens to rhyme with the missing word in the other quote game - hint, hint! )
Your turn, Varanfinde!

*takes the hint*
Here's my first Narnian Quote: "Y_u/_o_e/_f/_h_/L_r_/A_a_/a_d/_h_/L_d_/E_e/./ _n_/t_a_/i_/b_t_/h_n_u_/e_o_g_/t_/e_e_t/_h_/h_a_/o_/t_e/ _o_r_s_/b_g_a_/,/a_d/_h_m_/e_o_g_/t_/b_w/_h_/s_o_l_e_s/ _f/_h_/g_e_t_s_/e_p_r_r/_n/_a_t_/./B_/c_n_e_t/./"

I'm back!
"You come of the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve. And that is both honour enough to /e_e_t/ the /h_a_/ of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the /s_o_l_e_s/ of the greatest emporer on earth./B_/c_n_e_t/./"

"...erect the head of the poorest beggar and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth. Be content."
I LOVE THIS QUOTE. Aslan, of course.. don't know if that was mentioned.

All correct, including Aslan as the speaker (that hadn't been mentioned yet). Midge - your turn to share a favorite or some other quote.

"It is /f_l_e/. Not because he and I are one,
but because we are opposites, I take to me the service which thou thou hast done to him. For I and he are of such different /_i_d_/ that no service which is vile can be done to me and none which is not vile can be done to him." Aslan (talking about Tash, to... Emereth or something like that?)

Yes. Val, it's your turn!
It was a two-fold speaker, though, because it was Aslan talking in Emeth's story. So it could have been either Aslan or Emeth. But Aslan is the logical choice. *GAHH! ... rule....!*
