Arghhhh
Curse you and your not-evil evil riddles!!

Mirahzi · 04-24-2002, 07:57 PM

Ok... something/someone is thought to be evil but isn't really... Eh... Fangorn?

TinuvielChild · 04-24-2002, 08:28 PM

Gandalf against the Balrog in Moria?

No. Closer, though. And it was not thought to be evil. The evil is what it defeats.

Menelvagor · 04-24-2002, 09:42 PM

Elf Girl: Frodo?

Menelvagor · 04-24-2002, 09:44 PM

Or Gollum?

***Earniel*** · 04-25-2002, 11:17 AM

Which leaves:

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

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

Missed any? Think not, at least I hope not.

I don't know where you keep finding those brain-teasing riddles, Elf Girl. But I applaud you for it, they aregood.

So what are we exactly looking for? The evil that was confronted or that which confronted the evil?

Mirahzi · 04-25-2002, 07:45 PM

Earniel, is it the skeleton in the Path of the Dead?

Elf Girl · 04-25-2002, 08:03 PM

No one has guessed mine. As for where I find them, I make them up on the spot! I have a great subject for the next one...

TinuvielChild · 04-25-2002, 08:56 PM

Elf Girl: so it's not Gandalf against the Balrog in Moria?

Earniel: more hints?

Eruviel Greenleaf · 04-26-2002, 01:43 PM

I wrote a riddle!

It's really, really, easy. But it's a Haiku!

Once glory, now lost
Garden of the old Kingdom
Which fallen now holds

Elf Girl · 04-26-2002, 02:27 PM

Okay, this is old, but, the statue at the crossroads?

No one has guessed mine. I'll tell you what the frst line means. *scans furtively for hint alarms* "strength beyond was thought" means that he/she/it/they thought that this represented strength beyond what was possible, and was just a symbol. *hint alarm on another board gives such a load beep at this that we hear it here* Oh, no. Other boards, now.

Menelvagor · 04-26-2002, 02:28 PM

Ithilien? the barrowdowns?

Elf Girl · 04-26-2002, 02:29 PM

Oh, and I have my next one all written, so hurry and guess this!

Menelvagor · 04-26-2002, 02:29 PM

Has Boromir been guessed?

[edit: my first post was for Eruviel's, this one is for elfgirl]

***Earniel*** · 04-26-2002, 04:08 PM

I'd say Eruviel's riddle is Ithilien.
As for Elf Girl: Mmmmm lemme think: Denethor?

Mirahzi: nope

TC: TC wantssss hintsssesss?

TC shall have a hintsssssje (ung! I'm going dutch again!) alright again from the top:TC shall have her little hintssses: [hint]quite dead[/hint]

Nope, has not been guessed. Hint: the later lines meanes it turns out that the strength was not beyond possibility. *everyone instantly gets it*

Mirahzi · 04-26-2002, 11:10 PM

Elf Girl: this is kinda goin out on a limb... but is it Lothlorien/Golden Wood/whatever?

TinuvielChild · 04-27-2002, 12:07 PM

DUH!!! *smacks forehead because she was so stupid* Earniel, is it the Barrow wight?

***Earniel*** · 04-27-2002, 12:34 PM

Hurray for TC!!!!!

Indeed it's the barrow wight!

*digs deep in dwindling unsolved riddle supply*
This is the last one I've got available. So I hope it lasts a little longer, but I doubt it.

Not all evil hides in shadows
Not all that is golden is good
abandoned cities and red meadows
Skilled tongue yet foul mood

to Elf Girl: I don't imediatly get it. In fact I haven't got a clue. Eowyn perhaps?
