"Put" / "do walk" / "lie" are wrong - the rest of the words are correct.

Can you try a guess on the speaker? Only so many candidates.

Don't know why I had "put". Must have been half asleep while posting

So "lay down your weapons" and "go back twenty paces and sit down"

As for the speaker, was it Merry?

Don't worry - we've all done things like that on our posts.

Yes - these solves are all correct. Merry was the speaker. Your turn to post a quote, Beren3K!

Awesome. Let's see if people can recognize this one out of context:

"_ d_d. _'l_ h_v_ a _e_p, _a_y, _f _o_'r_ w_l_i_g"

"I did. I'll have a peep, Lady, if you're willing."

Is that it? Sam speaker? (to Galadriel about the mirror)

Oh - when typing, we usually put the "/" between words. Makes it a lot easier to tell where the breaks are.

Right, sorry. It's been a while since I've done this.

And, yes you're correct about the quote and the speaker. Have at it, sir!

There's one worth sinking your teeth into, everyone.

"Revenge! Revenge! The King under the Mountain

and I /_a_e/_a_e_/h_s/_e_p_e/_i_e/ I walk along / _h_e_/,

I will where I wish and none dare resist.
I laid low the /_a_r_o_s/ of /_l_/a_d/_h_i_/l_k_/i_/n_t/_n/_h_/w_r_d/_o_a_/.
Then I was but young and tender. Now I am old and strong,

my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!"

Boy, that was tough! The speaker is Smaug of course. Brushing up for the new movie, Val?

Great start Beren. Bolded words are incorrect.

"Revenge! Revenge! The King under the Mountain
is dead and where are his kin that dare seek revenge?
/_i_i_n/ Lord of Dale is dead,
and I /_a_e/_a_e_/h_s/_e_p_e/_i_e/ I walk along / _h_e_/,
and where are his sons' sons that dare approach me?

It sure was tough to type in! Correct on the speaker.

And yes - I thought it'd be fun to toss something out from the territory the new movie covers. The long ones are fun to solve too, aren't they?

Most of your adds are good. Only one mistake, bolded.

"...I have eaten his people..." ?

also "...the shock of my tail..."?

"eaten" and "shock" are both correct!

Whoa, I'm behind.

Okay, here we go.

"Revenge! Revenge! The King under the Mountain
is dead and where are his kin that dare seek revenge?
Girion Lord of Dale is dead,
and I have eaten his people like a wolf among sheep,
and where are his sons' sons that dare approach me?
I kill where I wish and none dare resist.
I laid low the warriors of old/a_d/_h_i_/l_k_/i_/ (see Princess's post) not in the world today.
Then I was but young and tender. Now I am old and strong,
strong, strong. Thief in the shadows!
My armor is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords,
my claws spears, the shock of my tail a thunderbolt,
my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!"

Smaug's breath is death, huh? I wonder if that was when he'd just woken up from a loooong nap...
I bet some of us humans could give that old dragon a run for his money when it comes to morning breath...

ah-ha! Just in time for Finals, too!

I hope by "good one" you meant short, sweet, and to the point. However, you may find it a little harder to solve and or place than it seems.
