Elf Girl · 04-23-2002, 04:41 PM

Elf Girl's: Small ceremony,
Thought, but wrong,
Then more was brought,
Ere sun's rays long.

Eärniel's: A guard in a dark place
A remnant of an old age
Has left name, has left face
Forever in a stony cage

Eärniel: Are you sure it's not Cirith Ungol?

***Earniel*** · 04-23-2002, 04:44 PM

Yes. If it helps I can say your guess was a plausible answer. But it isn't what I'm waiting for. Sorry

TinuvielChild · 04-23-2002, 04:48 PM

more hintses?? hintses for the poor little Elf Lord in the corner who will shortly receive her brand spanking new hint alarm and bury it as far underground as possible? please?

Elf Girl · 04-23-2002, 04:49 PM

Is it a being, a thing, or a place?

Menelvagor · 04-23-2002, 07:50 PM

Sorry about that Elf Girl, must have had one of your hints confused with someone else's...

Um, Earniel: that orc that Shelob killed that Shegrat and Gorbag were talking about? The silent watchers in Minas Morgul? Gollum?

TinuvielChild · 04-23-2002, 08:35 PM

Ai! A Hint Alarm! A hint alarm is come!

and as i now have a brand spanking new hint alarm of my very own, i am going to let it go off once then bury it deeeeeeep underground.

Elf Girl · 04-23-2002, 08:40 PM

Here's a hint: Minas Tirith. *TC's hint alarm goes off* Go ahead and bury it!

Eruviel Greenleaf · 04-23-2002, 10:29 PM

Elf Girl:

Something to do with the pyre of Denethor?

Menelvagor · 04-23-2002, 10:37 PM

I think Earniel's on the right track, the only other thing I can think of is Merry (and Eowyn and Faramir) being woken from the black breath.

Tanoliel · 04-23-2002, 11:47 PM

Elf Girl: Pippin's becoming a...um...whatever he was (the word escapes me) to Denethor? Swearing allegiance, I mean.
Or Aragorn's crowning? (don't ask...wild guess)
Or Merry's healing in Minas Tirith?

Earniel: erp....?
Mirahzi, are you going to post your riddle? Or tell me about it, or something. I wanna guess.

Mirahzi · 04-24-2002, 01:38 AM

Ok... due to the request from tano... here's my first (ever) riddle:

Gift of the Dead
Demise of the Fallen
Relic of a power
Long forgotten

*It's not really worded the way I want, but at the moment I can't think of a better word for "power"

Eruviel Greenleaf · 04-24-2002, 01:43 AM

Mirahzi--the swords from the barrow downs? Something to do with the barrow downs?

Mirahzi · 04-24-2002, 01:49 AM

Yea... that was really... really quick

There goes my posting confidence...
Anyway, I suppose in order to get credit for the riddle you gotta name the owner of the sword and the "fallen"

Eruviel Greenleaf · 04-24-2002, 01:51 AM

The bearer of the sword being Pippin, the fallen the Witch King.

Mirahzi · 04-24-2002, 01:51 AM

Well, atleast it rhymed

Mirahzi · 04-24-2002, 01:53 AM

Ouch... IIRC Merry was the one who slew the witch king... Pippin was off doin' whatever hobbits do... but it's close enough

Eruviel Greenleaf · 04-24-2002, 01:53 AM

It was a good riddle! I guess I'm just fast. . .

And I can't even write riddles at all.

Mirahzi · 04-24-2002, 01:54 AM

Great, now I'm gonna go to bed with a fuzzy feeling in my stomach... (I think it's joy... don't really know)

Eruviel Greenleaf · 04-24-2002, 01:54 AM

Agh! I can't believe I said Pippin! Agh! I meant Merry, really!
