This must be Aragorn speaking.

***Valandil*** · 11-15-2010, 04:19 PM

Varnafinde - yes, your adds are all correct, and the speaker IS Aragorn.

Still a good deal to go...

I've bolded my new guess ...

***Rían*** · 11-16-2010, 05:42 PM

... for just such a purpose?

and Bare time was given me?

***Valandil*** · 11-17-2010, 12:34 AM

Those are all correct by both of you.

Rian - great to see you playing this game again!

***Varnafindë*** · 11-17-2010, 12:37 AM

Too seldom had he been challenged since he returned to his Tower.

"I did so ere I rode from the Hornburg. I deemed that the time was ripe, and that the Stone had come to me for just such a purpose.

Midge · 11-17-2010, 01:22 AM

Oh, maybe it's Rauros. I can't remember, and it's a place, so I beg forgiveness.

***Valandil*** · 11-17-2010, 02:42 AM

It is 'Rauros' - and all further solves are correct, except for 'had' as in "... too seldom had he been..."

***Varnafindë*** · 11-17-2010, 06:05 AM

'has' instead of 'had', then, I suppose ...

/in/answer/, maybe I should not have/dared/

And I know that there is one word left, and I honestly don't know what it is.

***Valandil*** · 11-17-2010, 05:10 PM

Yes - all those other words are correct, Varnafinde. And just the one word to go.

Midge · 11-18-2010, 07:27 PM

Sometimes it's easier to get it if you have a running start.

"I did so ere I rode from the Hornburg. I deemed that the time was ripe, and that the Stone had come to me for just such a purpose.

onset?

***Valandil*** · 11-18-2010, 08:04 PM

'onset' it is. Your turn, Midge!

Midge · 11-22-2010, 10:41 PM

right, right. Here we go:

Speaker: Faramir?

Midge · 11-23-2010, 02:38 PM

On the right track, there Val. Here's the corrected version:

"Moonset over Gondor. /_a_r/_t_i_/,/
as he goes from Middle-Earth,
_l_n_e_/upon the/_h_t_/l_c_s/of/_l_/Mindolluin.

*apparently I added a word that is not in Tolkien, so I'm not sure what it is supposed to be. I took it out, but I suspect, as you guessed, that it was supposed to be "here".

***Valandil*** · 11-23-2010, 04:59 PM

Oh - and I left out one of your words. Careless solving on my part, once again.

"Moonset over Gondor. /_a_r/_t_i_/,
as he goes from Middle-Earth,
_l_n_e_/upon the/_h_t_/l_c_s/ of old Mindolluin.
It is worth a few/_h_v_r_/./But that is not what
I brought you to see - though as for you,
Samwise, you were not brought, and do but pay
the penalty of your /_a_c_f_l_e_s/. A draught of wine

Midge · 11-24-2010, 01:45 PM

all adds are correct. three more words!

***Valandil*** · 11-25-2010, 09:53 AM

'Fair Ithil'?

(I just realized that the second word was probably the Elvish name for the moon, and thought I was sunk - then remembered that I knew the Elvish name for 'moon'... too much time hanging around JRRT boards!

)

'slanted'? - this fits, but doesn't seem quite right.
