Okay, I'm just looking at the completed quote that Val posted.
"O_/,/o_/,/o_/./ We never went that/_a_/, but they say it goes a hundred leagues, until you can see the Great Water that is never still. There are lot of fishes there, and big birds eat fishes: nice birds: but we never went there, alas no! we never had a chance. And further still there are more lands, they say, but the Yellow Face is very hot there, and there are seldom any clouds, and the men are fierce and have dark faces. We do not want to see that land." Speaker is indeed Gollum.

'Oi, oi, oi'? (did Gollum ever say such a thing?)
'way'?

"way" is correct, "Oi" is not. That was Legolas or some other elf, if I remember correctly. It's a regular word there.

"On" is right! Valandil, your turn!
Earn, Val got that word when he guessed "Oi, oi, oi!" It was "way".

Okay, so just to be ethical, I will tell you this:
My husband caught me trying to solve this and told me "I have a surprise" and looked up where the quote came from. LUCKILY, I figured it out before I read any of it and closed the tab. However, he did tell me the speaker out of spite and so I can't guess the speaker. Stinker. "I came returned from the Northern Fences, and I am sent now to be your guide again. The Dimrill Dale is full of/_a_o_r/and/c_o_d_/of/s_o_e/, and the/_o_n_a_n_/are/_r_u_l_d/. There are noises in the deeps of the earth. If one of you has thought of returning northward to your homes, you would not have been able to pass that way. Your path now goes south."

Midge - good start. A few wrong words:
'came' in the first line 'one' and 'has' in the sixth line

full of vapour and clouds of/s_o_e/
Would that be Haldir for the speaker?

Well, then, that would be "smoke."

Correct on all those - including Haldir as speaker.
I think that just leaves us two words short...

"I have returned from the Northern Fences,

If any of you had thought of returning northward to your homes, you would not have been able to pass that way. Your path now goes south." It was that stinking "vapOUr" instead of "vapOr" that got me stuck there! Silly England!

Yes Midge - and 'mountains' is correct.
One word left.

I would if I could!
I honestly haven't got it - I'll try again later ... But the bump was needed.

If this helps, remember that the speaker would personify the object in question. Probably more than we would.

It hasn't helped me so far.
Anyone else able to get it? ("bump" )
