Carafin was right... Legolas and Gimli waiting at Helm's Deep (by the way, TTT was my fave of the series)
THIS SHOULD BE VERY EASY!!!

Little guy and lucky friends
travel 'til they meet their ends
Bear and helpful dude they meet
Many an arachnid they defeat.
At the end they get their dues
little guy goes home and his rep he does lose.
Th emoral of this story
(though it wouldn't be if it weren't)
Never laugh at live dragons
(Unless you want to get burnt)

I would like names (not for the lucky friends necessarily, but tell em who they are)

Radagast The Brown · 08-10-2002, 01:49 PM

Nariel are they Thorin, Kili and Fili?

Nariel Starfire · 08-10-2002, 02:25 PM

you're on the right track, rad. give me more

Radagast The Brown · 08-10-2002, 02:41 PM

more of what? dwarven names?

Tanoliel · 08-10-2002, 02:48 PM

*ahem*
Bilbo and the dwarves: Balin, Dwalin, Oin, Gloin, Nori, Ori, Fili, Kili, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, and Thorin Oakenshield.
They travel along many paths, meet Beorn (the were-bear!) and mother helpful people, like Elrond. They, or at least Bilbo, kill the giant spiders of Mirkwood. At the end they regain their treasure and Bilbo goes home with a share, and loses his reputation as a nice, stolid young hobbits and gains a rep as the weirdo of Bag End.

i.e., the story of the Hobbit. *grins* Want any more?

Menelvagor · 08-10-2002, 03:21 PM

Her evil hobbitness has forgotten Dori.

(can I get one 14th of the dragon treas er, point?

)

Tanoliel · 08-10-2002, 03:31 PM

GAH! *slaps self*
I KNEW I was forgetting one! I'm sorry, Dori. *sigh* You can have as many points as you want, Kashka.
btw, I like your new sig...Princess Bride RULES!

some1 repost riddles!

Menelvagor · 08-10-2002, 03:57 PM

Inconcieveable!

I'd repost the riddles, but frankly I have no idea which ones are still going...

Carafin · 08-10-2002, 05:14 PM

well I've searched and these are the riddles I've found:

me:
A breath of cold
grips and twists
Evil of old
burnt away like mists

Elf Girl
Shadows feed on only light
After darkness naught can be but bright
A calling on the lady might
Brings joy and happiness in sight

doubtless I have missed some and so feel free to post them up
(please)

Christiana · 08-10-2002, 06:11 PM

carafin-the shadow of sauron that rose above the Lords ofthe West when the ring was destroyed?

cassiopeia · 08-11-2002, 01:21 AM

Carafin: I think somebody said yours and I assumed it was right - the morgul blade which stabbed Frodo at Weathertop.

Elf Girl: The calling of the elves of Elbereth Gilthoniel (or something like that?)

The Ringbearer · 08-11-2002, 02:34 AM

Elf Girl: The phial of Galadriel ?

Radagast The Brown · 08-11-2002, 02:33 PM

Carafin, is it Ungoliant?

Carafin · 08-12-2002, 03:26 PM

not the morgul blade or Ungolient think earlier in FotR good guess Christiana but no cigar.(I seriously can't believe how long this riddle has lasted)

elf girl could it be when Galadriel refuses the Ring or when she goes to the havens??? (Ican tell this is going to be one of those hard ones I feel like giving up right now)

cassiopeia · 08-12-2002, 10:05 PM

Carafin: Is it Sting stabbing something? Barrowights? Eowyn/Merry killing the witchking?

Is this the longest thread ever? Up to about 80 pages?

Tanoliel · 08-13-2002, 12:10 AM

elf girl (I can't remember anything anyone has said about this riddle, so forgive me if I repeat): is it Gimli meeting / loving Galadriel?

-tano

Carafin · 08-13-2002, 09:11 AM

yay cass you got it gtg

Christiana · 08-13-2002, 08:14 PM

gtg?huh?and,cass,this thread is currently 166 pages.

Mirahzi · 08-13-2002, 08:16 PM

Christiana, 'Gtg' is short for 'Got to go.'
Also, both of the 3 Worder threads (old and new) were/are longer than this one.
