Nope! *cackle cackle* All right, I'll give you a hint cuz I can't wait to watch you toil on the next one. (even harder) Hint: The people who saw this and thought it represented strength beyond what was possible were hobbits. *cackle cackle*

***Earniel*** · 05-01-2002, 02:10 PM

Oi! I'm frying my brain on this one already! I won't survive another! (Nobody better dare to come up with the saying "if you can't stand the heat...")

Well, lemme think *gives burnt out brain a nudge* Gandalf?

Elf Girl · 05-01-2002, 02:15 PM

Nope. *cackle cackle* Heehee. Alright: two hobbits.

***Earniel*** · 05-01-2002, 02:25 PM

grrrrrrrrrrrrr.....

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

*holds candle next to head in idle hope to enlighten brain, recites all given hints as a mantra*

the ents taking on Orthanc?

Elf Girl · 05-01-2002, 04:38 PM

You. Are. So. Close.

Wulažg · 05-01-2002, 04:41 PM

Two hobbits? You mean no Barrow-Downs? Not Bombadil? What about when the two groups of orcs were fighting? Or in Cirith Ungol when Sam thought Frodo was dead? Shelob or the Watchers?

This is downright evil....

But fun!

Has anyone the Huorns? Is Pippin & Merry TOO obvious?

Wulažg · 05-01-2002, 04:58 PM

Merry and Pippin facing down essentially Saruman?

Niaah! the torture!

Saruman being defeated by Gandalf (oh look Wulažg beat me too it. Fne)

Elf Girl · 05-01-2002, 05:48 PM

Nope. You're getting farther away. Remember, it was thought (by two hobbits) that this represented strength beyond what was possible, but then, when they met evil, the ENTS *hint alarm beeps wildly* had that strength after all.

BeardofPants · 05-01-2002, 05:55 PM

The entmoot?

TinuvielChild · 05-01-2002, 07:54 PM

the defeat of Orthanc

Eruviel Greenleaf · 05-01-2002, 11:29 PM

The ents at Helm's Deep? No, it couldn't be, because Merry and Pip don't witness that. *Wild guess* probably even farther off, but Faramir and his rangers, and their battle? No, it's not ents. Okay, enough thinking outloud for me. . .

Arathorn · 05-01-2002, 11:46 PM

The impenetrable strength of Orthanc?

Elf Girl · 05-02-2002, 03:34 PM

No, no, but extremely close. The entmoot was closest.

Wulažg · 05-02-2002, 03:57 PM

The slowness of the Ents represented the awesome strength that they possessed but they didn't act at once so the hobbits thought that the strength was not actually there. However, witnessed by the hobbits with the taking of Orthanc, the Ents did indeed have that slow strength of wood and root.

Elf Girl · 05-02-2002, 04:04 PM

Everyone is just hovering around it... Last hint: it is a specific thing.

***Earniel*** · 05-02-2002, 04:06 PM

entdraught?

Wulažg · 05-02-2002, 04:06 PM

You mean like Treebeard? Or the Entwash?

Elf Girl · 05-02-2002, 04:32 PM

Last, last, hint: It only happened once.
