[Curufin]

Maglor.

[The Dread Pirate Roberts]

Indeed. I believe Count Comfect is up now for the next one.

Actually - it's Curufin's turn. A complete solve is all words and speaker. The one to solve the last part gets the next turn.

Curufin - do you want to give it a try? See the opening post of the thread for instructions and advice.

[The Dread Pirate Roberts]

Ah, got it. Thanks. I thought the speaker was some sort of bonus/pride points. My bad.

Curufin, go for it!

[Curufin]

Sure, I'll try.

Hope that's not too easy!

Did you by chance blackened out the punctuation too, Curufin?

Speaker is Turgon to Eöl, I think.

[The Dread Pirate Roberts]

Do not flaunt the title of your wife before me! For those who steal the daughters of the Noldor and wed them without gift or leave do not gain kinship with their kin. I have given you leave to go. Take it, and be gone. By the laws of the Eldar I can not slay you at this time.

~Curufin to Eol

[Valandil]

First sentence:

'Do not flaunt the title of your line before me.'

Other missing words: 'gain' / 'Eldar'

Curufin - as Earniel hints, we only take out every other letter, and leave in all punctuation. Still - great job for a first time posting!

EDIT: Looks like DPR scooped me while I was thinking about it! Good job, Pirate!

[The Dread Pirate Roberts]

Good so far...

[Midge]

Wow, that was super confusing!

"Until you reveal to me where the One may be found.
I may find means to persuade you.
Or/_n_i_/it is found in your/_e_p_t_/,
and the Ruler has time to turn to lighter/_a_t_r_/:
to devise, say, a fitting herald for the
/_i_d_a_c_/and/_n_o_e_c_/of Gandalf the Grey."

I'm thinking Saruman?

The first sentence of this quote is a fragment. It bugs me.

[The Dread Pirate Roberts]

All correct except "herald", and you have the speaker correct, too.

[Valandil]

"Until you reveal to me where the One may be found.
I may find means to persuade you.
Or until it is found in your despite,
and the Ruler has time to turn to lighter matters:
to devise, say, a fitting reward for the
hindrance and insolence of Gandalf the Grey."

[The Dread Pirate Roberts]

You got it, Valandil, and since the speaker has been identified, that makes it your turn, correct?

[Valandil]

Yes - that is correct.

Let's see how we do with this one:

"D_/n_t/_o_n_/o_/t_i_/s_a-_o_s_e_/!/I_/t_e_/h_v_/t_e_/,
/l_t/_h_/s_a_e_/b_i_g/_s/_o_d/_n_/o_h_r/_h_n_s/_h_t/_e/_e_d/,
/_n_/y_u/_a_/s_a_/h_r_/t_l_/t_e/_i_c_-K_n_/g_e_/h_m_/.
/F_r/_n/_u_m_r/_i_/p_w_r/_a_e_/;/b_t/_o_/h_s/_r_a_h/_s/_e_d_y/,
/_n_/h_s/_o_d/_r_/i_/l_n_."

PS: On the one a couple quotes back, I see we never let Curufin tell us whether it was right or not. I THINK it was, and I HOPE it was... but we should really wait for that before we post the next. Unless someone looks it up and confirms we had it correct before moving on.

[Curufin]

Do/not/_o_n_/o_/this/sea-_o_s_e_/!/If/they/have/t_e_/,
/let/the/s_a_e_/being/_s/_o_d/and/other/things/that/we/_e_d/,
/_n_/you/_a_/s_a_/h_r_/t_l_/the/Witch-King/g_e_/h_m_/.
/For/_n/_u_m_r/_i_/p_w_r/_a_e_/;/but/for/his/_r_a_h/_s/_e_d_y/,
/_n_/h_s/_o_d/_r_/i_/l_n_.

Hmm. Wonder if any of those are right?

EDIT: And yes, it was Curufin to Eöl, and the quote was right. I was travelling all day yesterday, sorry.

[Valandil]

Curufin - very good. All right except 'being' and the last 'for' - the one between 'but' and 'his'.

No problem about being away. I just didn't want to pre-empt you. Although to keep things moving in this game, we have historically felt free to look up quotes to verify them, if we think there's a correct solution and the one who posted the quote hasn't been around to confirm it.

[Curufin]

Do/not/_o_n_/o_/this/sea-_o_s_e_/!/If/they/have/t_e_/,
/let/the/s_a_e_/b_i_g/_s/_o_d/and/other/things/that/we/_e_d/,
/and/you/may/stay/here/till/the/Witch-King/goes/home/.
/For/in/_u_m_r/his/power/fades/;/but/far/his/_r_a_h/_s/_e_d_y/,
/and/his/_o_d/arm/is/long.

How about this?

[Valandil]

Solving more... 'fades' is wrong - and 'far' is not correct. It was the /_o_/ that was given for that word.

All your other new additions are correct.
