Hmm, that's a bit of a mess.

A little... it looks cleaner if you replace the underscores with spaces between solved words.

Still... all your solved words are correct, except the 'to' toward the end of the second line.

***Valandil*** · 04-21-2008, 08:22 AM

'weary' / 'forge' / 'break' are incorrect - the other adds are good.

/_o_f_s_n_/ = confusing?

***Valandil*** · 04-21-2008, 10:08 PM

'confusing' is right, and Earniel's partial solution is all correct - except for one word. It's something I missed from the start - the 'of' shown between the first two otherwise unsolved words in Earniel's post.

Sorry - I missed that it was incorrect with Curufin's first attempt. So that one still registers as '/o_/'

Curufin · 04-22-2008, 04:03 AM

Just a question, but how does "hearts" fit into '_r_s_' ?

Argh! I'm getting really sloppy! 'hearts' is not correct there either.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 04-22-2008, 08:38 AM

trust

Count Comfect · 04-22-2008, 09:34 PM

could that middle word be "or"?

***Valandil*** · 04-22-2008, 09:36 PM

'trust' is correct. Let me update (since I caused some confusion myself):

"Who would go? For they must be mighty, peers of Sauron, but must forgo might, and clothe themselves in flesh so as to /_r_a_/o_/e_u_l_t_/ and win the trust of Elves and Men. But this would /_m_e_i_/ them, dimming their wisdom and knowledge, and confusing them with fears, cares, and wearinesses coming from the /_l_s_."

That only leaves 5 words to solve - plus a speaker. Some of the words may be a bit difficult, but people around here always surprise me.

***Valandil*** · 04-22-2008, 09:37 PM

Cross-post with CC - 'or' is not the word.

Curufin · 04-22-2008, 09:52 PM

Then it's got to be 'on'

And is the word before that 'break', maybe?

***Valandil*** · 04-22-2008, 09:53 PM

'on' is correct, but not 'break'

Curufin · 04-22-2008, 10:04 PM

Tread.

Midge · 04-22-2008, 11:01 PM

Is the last word "flesh" as well?

For some reason I can't get past "immerit"... though I am pretty sure that is not a word.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 04-23-2008, 06:28 AM

'imperil'

***Valandil*** · 04-23-2008, 06:47 AM

'flesh' and 'imperil' are correct - the other tries were not.

"Who would go? For they must be mighty, peers of Sauron, but must forgo might, and clothe themselves in flesh so as to /_r_a_/ on /e_u_l_t_/ and win the trust of Elves and Men. But this would imperil them, dimming their wisdom and knowledge, and confusing them with fears, cares, and wearinesses coming from the flesh."

We need the two words next to 'on', and the speaker.
