Business is correct

Just the speaker now.

Midge · 03-20-2016, 07:30 PM

Is Gildor a thing? I'm thinking maybe it was said to Sam and Frodo in the Shire... in that one place.

Oh, it's definitely been too long since I've read my Tolkien.

Hubby only told me the word. Not sure he even paid attention to the speaker.

***Valandil*** · 03-21-2016, 08:40 AM

Maybe you're right Midge. I was thinking this was from Rivendell, but maybe it's that meeting in the Shire.

Butterbeer · 03-21-2016, 12:20 PM

Good gracious! Gildor and Galdor? Tis' neither i'm afraid. Your first instincts were on the right lines Val, although it's fairly easy to imagine Galdor saying it in the woods too, so good guess Midge

***Valandil*** · 03-21-2016, 03:08 PM

The speaker will be tough for me to get. I'm wracking my brains to remember the names of any Elves who Bilbo was talking to at the time.

Butterbeer · 03-23-2016, 07:58 PM

Well, given the speaker is somewhat obscure, should i give a clue do you think?

***Valandil*** · 03-24-2016, 12:02 AM

Up to you. We sometimes do that.

***Earniel*** · 03-25-2016, 01:39 PM

I was going to try Glorfindel, but obscure he is not and I think Val about already exhausted all my other shady elves-options!

Without looking up I'm stumped.

Butterbeer · 03-26-2016, 05:20 PM

Ok, ill try some clues for the speaker

Pick one...

Clue 1)
Cryptic crossword (type) clue:

Formers and latters... combine them!

...a Swiss Chocolate House (3)... and an animal that rhymes with part of my Entmoot name - (3)

Clue 2)
Anagram: letters in no order...

Take a vowel, a consonant that rhymes with a hot drink, a letter used in Roman Numerology, consonant that rhymes with a word to fight or somewhere to bathe, a consonant that rhymes with a (shortened version of) a name, and finally a vowel please

oops.. reason for edit- forgot a letter..sorry England just equalised against Germany...

------

Have fun!

***Valandil*** · 03-26-2016, 11:21 PM

You're really upping the ante on this one, BB. I like it!

I didn't look in the spoiler code boxes though. Do I need to - to have a chance at the clue? Or are clues found in the cryptic statements you give, and looking at the spoilers gives it away?

PS: Interesting how the smilies show through the spoiler gray-out. I don't think I had ever seen or noticed that before.

Smilies must be powerful!

Butterbeer · 03-27-2016, 11:50 AM

Hard not to use powerful smilies when England came back from 2-0 down to win 2-3 away in Germany ( who are World Champions!)

Er, yes, there are two different clues, one is a type of cryptic crossword type thing, and since it's Easter has a chocolate theme partly- and the other an anagram.

Both clues are contained within the spoliers yes

Given i was drinking beer and watching the football at the same time, i hope they make sense?

***Valandil*** · 03-28-2016, 11:44 PM

I checked out those clues... still too tough for me!

Butterbeer · 03-29-2016, 11:25 AM

Really?

First clue should not be too hard i hope...

.. an animal that rhymes with part of my entmoot name? Should be easy

-

Animal rhymes with part of my Entmoot name...therefore .. the animal rhymes with either Butt,

, Butter or Beer

That answer gives you the last three letters of speakers name - - - Please note, the spelling isn't quite the same but sounds the same.)

First three letters of the speakers name - - - are the first three letters of this Famous Swiss chocolate maker / Brand...

Add Chcocolate to an animal.. and you get an Easter inspired mash-up clue that names the speaker

One final clue.. its not a chocolate bunny... that'd be chobun...

***Earniel*** · 03-29-2016, 06:16 PM

Funny thing, I can't think of a single swiss chocolate brand right now. Bad, bad, me. Must be all the chocolate eggs I ate...

But the animal-clue might work.

Haldir?

Butterbeer · 03-30-2016, 04:33 AM

Not Haldir, but you are half right... dir is correct

_ _ _ D I R

Not know your Chocolate????

I find that hard to believe!

***Earniel*** · 03-31-2016, 03:04 PM

I know my Belgian chocolate and since there's enough of that for me, I haven't had reason to take an interest in others.

So consider me once again stumped. Unless 'Tubdir' is some obscure Elf, because that's as far as I got on the riddles.

But to be honest, I'm doubting it...

Butterbeer · 04-01-2016, 07:26 AM

Sadly not the infamous Tubdir...

The inventor in the first Age of the Elvish Giant Gondolin Gorzongola bucket sized chips!!

Here's a picture clue.. This should do it..

***Earniel*** · 04-05-2016, 10:22 AM

Bunnidir!?

That can't be right. Oh wait...

Sooo I suspect the sligthly more tolkien-sounding 'Lindir' will be the one you're after.

Butterbeer · 04-06-2016, 04:08 PM

Dats da Bunny!!!

Bunnidir it is.

Oh dear, oh deary me. I jest, it is of course Lindir

Well done Earniel, correct answer. Your go.
