"lack" is incorrect. All else is right

*I had an extra letter here, so I just took it out. For everyone whom this will bother, having two letters right next to each other, well, I'm not going to fix the whole thing because some overacheiver will simply merge the two and then have most of the quote.

You'll just have to deal with it.

[Midge]

"Soil" (6th line) is wrong.
"ere" in "dark ere" (9th line down) is wrong.
"well" in "him well before me" (13th line down) is wrong.
And "made" in "Gandalf made" (last line) is wrong.

Gandalf does not "make"! Who are you people?

Okay, so we have lots of words left and I don't think a speaker was mentioned.

[Varnafindë]

in/sight/of the Black Gate, or /tread/the/deadly/flowers of Morgul/Vale/,/then/

the marks of/soft/feet/beside/

Gandalf came

I think the speaker is Aragorn.

[Valandil]

"There is little need to tell of them. If a man must needs walk
in sight of the Black Gate, or tread the deadly flowers of Morgul
Vale, then perils he will have. I too, despaired at last, and
I began my homeward journey. And then, by fortune, I came
suddenly on what I sought: the marks of soft feet beside a muddy
bowl. But now the trail was fresh and /s_i_t/, and it led not to Mordor
but away. Along the skirts of the Dead Marshes I followed it, and
then I had him. Lurking by a stagnant mere, peering in the water
as the dark eve fell, I caught him, Gollum. He was covered with
/_r_e_/ slime. He will never love me, I fear; for he bit me, and I was
not gentle. Nothing more did I ever get from his mouth than the
marks of his teeth. I deemed it the worst part of all my journey, the
road back, watching him day and night, taking him well before
me with a halter on his neck, gagged, until he was tamed by lack
of drink and food, driving him ever towards Mirkwood. I brought
him there at last and gave him to the Elves, for we had agreed
that this should be done; and I was glad to be rid of his company,
for he stank. For my part I hope never too look upon him again, but
Gandalf came and endured long speech with him."

[Valandil]

oh... 'green' slime ...

[Varnafindë]

a muddy pool?

You had a couple of words wrong, Val. Varna fixed "pool", but there's still a few left. Aragorn is indeed the speaker.

[Count Comfect]

making him?

[Galenavar]

swift

making him walk

[Varnafindë]

walk

[Midge]

"Swift" and "making him walk" are the missing pieces. I believe that G. was the first to get the last pieces, although Varna's add was technically correct also.

G., it's your turn!

(I shorten your name because I'm guaranteed to spell it wrong... hope that's okay!)

[Galenavar]

Mwaha! Sweet. Quote will be coming soon...

- and you can shorten my name however you like. :-)

[Midge]

Well, if I were to shorten to just one syllable (ex: "Val" for "Valandil"), you would be called "Gal" and I think you're a guy (I've had issues with this before and there's really no way to fix it except to come out and ask... ).

On an entirely different note, I'll give an Entmoot point (or maybe two) to the person who can tell me where the following quote comes from (and yes, this technically breaks the rules of this thread, since it's not from LOTR, the Hobbit, the Silmarillion or the UT, but I'm not making you guess the quote):

"And in that hour, he drank deep of the chilled waters of Frigidaire. Never had there been, nor will there ever be a thirst so great in mortal man. And the count of the water was very great, greater than many mighty men are wont to drink even in thirsts most dire. But in the drinking thereof his brow was dried, his tongue was made wet, and a great sleep fell upon him."

[Count Comfect]

Isn't that Bored of the Rings?
