Lord before gate,
dark teeth await,
blackest of green.
Barely seen.

Elf Girl: Okay this is daft but what the heck: Is it some one crying while watching Gandalf die in the movie?

Menelvagor: Gandalf facing down the Witch King at the gate of Minas Tirith?

Elf Girl · 05-10-2002, 07:45 AM

Nope. Here's another hint: Entmoot. *hint alarm goes off* Hey! Where did that come from?! *sees little brother standing behind her with it* Oh, no.

Didn't the ents flood Isengard's tunnels? Or is it just my imagination? If not, that's my guess.

Menelvagor · 05-10-2002, 11:37 AM

Elf Girl: people coming to Entmoot after watching the movie and wanting to know if gandalf comes back?

Earniel you've got the right idea with what is talking about what, but it's a little backwards. hint: The middle two lines are about the gate.

Wulažg · 05-10-2002, 11:57 AM

Menelvagor-Gandalf facing down Saruman in Orthanc? Dark teeth...Something with Barad-dur? Wasn't it the famous tower with dark teeth? Sauron's eye on the tower? Or was it with Minas Morgul? I keep wanting to say Shelob... but she is definitely seen... Is it Harry?

oh yeah, the lord is Aragorn and when he is storming Barad-dur. Since he is about to get ambushed....

I hope I got it right...

***Earniel*** · 05-10-2002, 04:00 PM

You could be right on that one W, but it's the green that's giving me gib. Could it refer to the fields of Cormallen?

TinuvielChild · 05-10-2002, 05:25 PM

Elf Girl: all the people that left after April Fools day pranks?

Wulažg · 05-10-2002, 09:49 PM

Blackest of green? That doesn't even make sense...Urthragažr the Green? No wait, he was madeup by ICE... ARRGGGHH!!!

Elf Girl · 05-11-2002, 08:41 AM

Nope, no one has been right, but blundering closer. Hint: "at first ones dying/ comes a stream" means that when the first one died, many more came.

***Earniel*** · 05-11-2002, 09:47 AM

Say Elf Girl, is it by any chance a spampost? The answer to your riddle I mean, not you own.

Menelvagor · 05-11-2002, 01:29 PM

There have been some really good guesses to mine, (un)fortunatly none have been right.

'Green' is just symbolic for something else.

Wulažg · 05-11-2002, 07:19 PM

Menelvagor-so the middle two lines are about the gate. Is the "barely seen" then reffering to the lord? If so, then we get even more interesting possibilities. How about Sam before the gates at Cirith Ungol? Or maybe Gandalf going to Saruman in FotR, when he is trapped for a while? Or when Frodo is at the Cracks of Doom? I don't know... this is horrible...

What does the green symbolize? That the teeth were of an ally? Radagasts unwitting betrayal of Gandalf at Orthanc? If then it would be brown I guess... Maybe it has to deal with them Watchers(as if I haven't said that a hundred times already). It has to be about Orthanc, Barad-Dur or Cirith Ungol I guess but Orthanc was smooth. So it has to be Barad-dur or Cirith Ungol. What was wrong with my guess of Aragorn facing the Mouth of Sauron anyway? Maybe it was... umm....It has to do with the Witch King?

Or the Balrog on the threshold of Zirak-Zigil? Or Gandalf for that matter?

Menelvagor · 05-11-2002, 10:15 PM

Poor Wulazug. Your right, 'barely seen' is refering to the lord. Aragorn facing the Mouth of Sauron was a pretty good guess, but it doesn't satisfy the green. Here's my last hint for a while: the gate doesn't have to be the gate to a fortress.

Mirahzi · 05-12-2002, 01:14 AM

Oh...
Menelvagor, is it the Elves (Haldir, etc) at the entrance to Lorien?

***Earniel*** · 05-12-2002, 05:08 AM

Menelvagor: Aragorn about to enter the Path of the dead?

Wulažg · 05-12-2002, 01:04 PM

Okay then Menelvagor, Frodo as he is about to cross the ford. He is barely seen as he is almost in the wraith world, and the Nazgul are pursuing him.

Green, green, green green

*sigh*

What about.... ummm... piff... ummm... gate to a house maybe? the gate to the Houses of Healing? Farimir swallowed by the teeth of Eowyn

He had the Black Breath at the time so he was in bad shape too.

Let's see... Someplace they sneaked in... the Paths of the Dead was a good one Earniel... What about Gimli kindof just sittingh there not moving(barely seen) when Aragorn and Eorl were fighting off the orcs at the gate at Helm's Deep? Or Aragorn and/or Eorl themselves there? Gandalf facing Grima in Edoras? Or rather Gandalf at the weapons check I guess?

TinuvielChild · 05-12-2002, 02:45 PM

hmmm. Menelvagor, is it the guardian of the Paths of the Dead that was sitting there many years ago and died after giving the message that the Paths could only be opened at the right time (or something like that)?

Menelvagor · 05-12-2002, 04:28 PM

All wrong as of yet.

er... I mean

.

Wulažg · 05-12-2002, 10:15 PM

piff.

I wish I really were a troll, or at least an Ent

Of course, then I couldn't type posts

I can't think of any more guesses. i'll just have to reread the books again during school
