Riddling. - Page 36

yup! i was feeling bored, thought i'd post an easy one. one of my friends suggested Gollum, i said whatever. since Gollum is so like an Orc (and since i have already used Orcs in a riddle), it is only natural that it should be guessed right away.

Elf Girl · 04-24-2002, 06:28 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.

Yay! I got another!

***Earniel*** · 04-24-2002, 06:38 PM

YIKES! LOTS and lots of catching up to do!
Nope, nope, nope, no correct answer yet. And the new hint is *dumroffel* 'being' Off you go, get riddling!

Elf Girl: There is something about hobbits that reminds me of food (now how would that be?) Is it Peppin having breakfast with Beregond after he pledged his allegiance to Denethor?

TC: the flying things that the Nazgul rode on?

Elf Girl · 04-24-2002, 06:44 PM

Congrats, Eärniel! Yup, that's it.

New riddle:

Windswift
Shadowfall
Darkbright
At once grey's call.

Obvious. I'll give an easy one while I brew a toughie.

Mirahzi · 04-24-2002, 06:46 PM

Is it Shadowfax?

Elf Girl · 04-24-2002, 06:48 PM

Yup. Told you it was easy. Havn't had time to brew my toughie, so here's another easy one:

Kindness over cruelty,
False and foul, but fair to see.

Mirahzi · 04-24-2002, 06:49 PM

Good grief, I didn't even think about that one

Anyway 1 (maybe .5) point for me

Mirahzi · 04-24-2002, 06:51 PM

Hm, is it Saruman?

***azalea*** · 04-24-2002, 06:56 PM

I'm not really good at this, but I'll take a stab at an easy one:

Stout and plump
With a burden to bear
Loved much by Sam
who unburdens him at the entrance.

(couldn't make a rhyme -- sorry)

Elf Girl · 04-24-2002, 06:56 PM

*sigh* Yes, Mirahzi, you are getting too good. Here's what I have been able to brew of my toughie, it isn't very tough yet.

Strength beyond was thought,
Till evil was confronted,
and evil refuge sought.

Elf Girl · 04-24-2002, 06:58 PM

azalea: Frodo?

***azalea*** · 04-24-2002, 07:06 PM

Ah! I managed to trick someone! That makes me feel like I'm not a total failure at writing riddles -- Thank you! But no, that is incorrect.

Earniel: Is it the Lord of the Ringwraiths in the Tower-gate?

Elf Girl · 04-24-2002, 07:11 PM

I thought that seemed a bit to easy. Sam's pots?

TinuvielChild · 04-24-2002, 07:13 PM

azalea: it's Bill the Pony!

Mirahzi · 04-24-2002, 07:18 PM

Woohoo! 1.5 for me!!

As to your new riddle... could it be Saruman again?
Or Wormtongue...
Or the Mouth of Sauron...
It could really be a lot of people, couldn't it?

Elf Girl · 04-24-2002, 07:22 PM

Nope, nope, and nope. Heehee...

***azalea*** · 04-24-2002, 07:31 PM

Bill the pony is it, TC!

Mirahzi · 04-24-2002, 07:49 PM

Ouch, ouch, and ouch...
I must tihnk of more evil people that got their butts kicked!! Or were about to, anyways

Mirahzi · 04-24-2002, 07:50 PM

Ah hah! Perhaps it was Sauron in Mirkwood!!
Evil person, about to get his butt kicked by the White Council

Elf Girl · 04-24-2002, 07:52 PM

Nope. Hint: Not evil.
