That is indeed what I was thinking of - the first section describing the scene from the top of the waterfall and the second describing things from Gollum's point of view. I actually posted a quote in the other game thread that was from this same scene!
Edit: I didn't read Val's post - stinking new pages - but you caught me, Val!

Thorin Oakenshield and Company. Thorin and company were the first "army" to arrive at the battle area of the "Battle of the 5 armies". This was the first step that brought about the end of Smaug and/or the Orc army. Since Bilbo was involved - the finding of the ring is also the first step in "ending" Sauron.

First of five, the beginning of the end. Quote:
Also, eliminate the ending of Sauron as part of the solution. He has nothing to do with this whatsoever. Keep thinking. I don't want to discredit the Riddlers of Entmoot by giving out clues on this one. I'm confident that y'all will solve it as it sits without any extra help. I will say that it's not anything too far out there, as far as the solution goes. Pretty straight forward, actually. So don't bruise your poor brains on it by dreaming up elaborate scenarios. Muahhh!

could Bilbo be the first of five? "The Tale of Five Hobbits" is one of the titles of Bilbo's part of the Big Red Book. It is found in the first few pages of the last chapter, The Grey Havens, when Frodo is handing over the keys to Bag End to Sam, the beginning of the end.

However, they are the wrong five. Bilbo is not the character I seek, and the ending at the Grey Havens has no connection at all. I am really beginning to like this riddle. Can the Riddlers of Entmoot truly be stumped? Never! One of y'all will figure it out. Keep thinking. I'm rooting for ya! |

Is it an end that is stated specifically in the text (like, one that is named) or is it an end that is inferred when something is over (like how the third age ends when the fourth one begins)? I feel like I need to start with all the beginnings of ends and then connect the "five" to that. *sigh* this is driving me nuts.

I suppose I could add that the riddle is entirely sourced through LOTR. You don't need any other books. *ie. identify the character |

Hmm.. context helps. I'll think on it.

Bungo Baggins. The eldest (first) of five children and the hobbit that built (beginning) Bag End. Stumped - we are not... Excellent riddle.

Here's an amateur's attempt at riddling:
More than any warrior slaying never a sword wielding by the sword dying
