Nice for you. But there was more than one.

S: Gorbag?

Not sure I'm spelling all these words right.

***Varnafindë*** · 01-29-2012, 02:52 PM

I think it's Lugburz, not Luzburg ...

All adds were correct except for the first two "Get"s... Speaker is indeed Gorbag.

***Valandil*** · 01-30-2012, 02:05 AM

Oh... then I suppose it must be 'Got' & 'Got'?

Midge · 01-31-2012, 02:25 AM

indeed it is.

Your, turn! Valandil.,;

I just felt like using excessive punctuation.

oh Va-al...

***Valandil*** · 02-22-2012, 10:51 PM

Yes - I'm very bad. If you're willing, give me a few more days and I'll try to get something up between Saturday night and Monday. Otherwise - anyone is free to post in the meantime, if you're anxious to go and have waited too long.

Beorn is right.

The words attempted are solved - with one 'I' replacing an 'a' of Earniel's. And there's an 'l' left off of 'shall' - but I'll give you that one.

A couple lines to go, I believe.

Yes, if only... that's correct also!

PS: One of you solvers want to put it all together and see what we've got so far?

Two wrong words - as indicated. Sorry, one of those I didn't notice before.
