A sword, a bow, a horse, a map, a friend, preferably an Elf.

A knee-walking turkey, Goddam the mad clown, Goddam's rubber sea-horse, a tour guide with middle-sized teeth (from the Land of the People With the Middle-Sized Teeth) and a Ballhog to take care of enemies.

My five wives

Earendilyon · 09-17-2001, 04:04 PM

A rope, a Hobbit, an Elf, a Dwarf, and an Istari

Ñólendil · 09-17-2001, 04:52 PM

lol Selwythe!

Finmandos12 · 09-20-2001, 08:45 AM

Bucktooth the beaver, a sharp pencil, a stingray, a catching glove, and a rusty oar

ArwenEvenstar · 09-20-2001, 05:08 PM

sword from gondilion, shield, horse, a elf guide/friend, and a wizard

Indollion, you've read bored of the rings haven't you?

Ñólendil · 09-22-2001, 04:29 PM

Why, how did you know?

ArwenEvenstar · 09-23-2001, 10:15 AM

thew names sound familliar because i read it a month ago

Comic Book Guy · 09-26-2001, 06:31 PM

Could you tell us more about these knee-walking turkeys Inoldonil?

Ñólendil · 09-26-2001, 07:44 PM

They're really shadowy figures in the Tolkien canon, so, not really. A very isolated note connected with one genealogical table or other (published I think in Volume XIII of HoMe) states that they come from the Land of the Knee-walking Turkeys, and that Tom Bombadil was one, but other than that, we can only make deductions.

I think they were either winged pointy-eared Maiar or something else.

Of course in the old mythology they were 'Chickens', and there were great hosts of them (their chief being named Nacho Can Sandy Baggage), but this is entirely incongruous with the new conception.

Comic Book Guy · 09-26-2001, 07:51 PM

very clever.

afro-elf · 10-04-2001, 07:18 PM

well you said "THINGS" so i will assume that this cuts out people
my simarillion knowlegde weak so I'll use LOTR stuff

if this is the case then

I'd take

1) Glamdring
2) a palantir
3) an elfin steed
4)athelas
5) standard adventuring pack(including map)

if i could take people

only form LOTR

I'd travel with

1)Glorfindel ( warrior healer)

3)Aragorn ( ranger healer)
4) Gimli ( in case i had to go underground)
5) Legolas( an archer for distance attacks)

Elfin? come on did you not read the books? it ELVEN !!!
sorry, but it really bugs me when people use elfin, and dwarfs, and stuff...
...maybe I should switch to decafe...

Varda · 10-09-2001, 02:10 AM

Doesn't C.S. Lewis use "dwarfs" in his Chronicles of Narnia?

afro-elf · 10-09-2001, 10:07 AM

I just like to use a little variety in my spelling when it comes to Elves. Since they are my favorite fantasy race, when I write about them I use quite a few homonyms and alternate spellings.

However, I only use Dwarves nor Dwarfs,Faery instead of Fairy and Fae instead of Fey.

olorin7 · 10-09-2001, 11:08 PM

the subject of the knee walking turkeys: i'm very confused. is there really information about tom bombadil? he is something that i have been try to figure out ever since i began reading tolkien

Ñólendil · 10-10-2001, 05:02 PM

Tom Bombadil was indeed a knee-walking turkey -- certainly he was -- or Tolkien's Elves don't have pointed ears.

And it's name is Epyon · 10-10-2001, 09:59 PM

I would take

1. A very large, heavy Enchanted Axe. It is Enchanted to do extra damage, be light as a feather, and spouts electricity.

2. A heavy crossbow with armor piercing Quarrels

3. I set of armor made from Dragons hide. (light but durable)

4.A map.

5. Healing kits and potions.

people

1. aragorn (knows the woods and the battle fields. Also a healer)

2. faramir (its always good to have someone who is loved by beast and man alike)

3. Althalus (You have to have someone with theiving skills, and who is the comic relief.)

4.Gandalf (wizards are a must)

5. Ulath (its always good to have a fellow axer, besides, ulath is good at settling problems, with his words or with his Axe. He's not to bad at magic either.)
