Nay! Though I do not condemn, yet still I will judge. Herein I
perceive not only the direct will of Eru, but fault in his creatures.Not guilt, yet a failing from the highest which is the Hope of which the King hath spoken. And I doubt not that the taking of the higher road,
an ascent that though hard was not impossible, was part of that
purpose of immediate good of which Niënna seeketh.

Ulmo.

Sorry - there was a mistake in the last line.

All bolded are incorrect.

Bolded are incorrect (including 'be' from line one which was already noted as incorrect).

line 4, word three: 'foes'?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 04-13-2008, 10:14 AM

I'm thinking maybe so, Curufin.

Frisked? Dude, seriously.... FRISKED? o.O

As always, bold are incorrect..

***Valandil*** · 04-13-2008, 03:36 PM

'helping'?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 04-13-2008, 04:11 PM

Of course "frisked" wasn't a serious guess. But the letters fit so it was a legitimate guess. Sometimes an incorrect guess, however wild, can jog something in my mind and bring forth the correct guess. So I threw it out there.

How are we doing now:

Yet little be given that thy helping sword
the life should drink of the leaguered Elves.
Are the grim/G_a_h_t_ then grown so few,
or the foes of _a_r_e/feeble-bearded,
that warlike Men have no work to do?
Shall the foes of _a_r_e be friends of Men?
Betrayest thou thy troth whom we trusted of yore?

Curufin · 04-13-2008, 04:13 PM

I've got a sneaking fear that at least one of those words is in Dwarvish...

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 04-13-2008, 04:20 PM

Two of them are probably the same. The other, I think, might be Glamhoth.

BeardofPants · 04-14-2008, 12:38 AM

Yet little be given that thy helping sword
the life should drink of the leaguered Elves.
Are the grim Glamhoth then grown so few,
or the foes of _ä_r_e feeble-bearded,
that warlike Men have no work to do?
Shall the foes of _ä_r_e be friends of Men?
Betrayest thou thy troth whom we trusted of yore?

Bolded are incorrect.
Curu, only your last line is correct.
Val, not sure what you're referring to.

I've accented the 'a' to make it easier, hopefully.

Just solving the word before 'sword' - Curufin plugged it in.

Is 'we' the third word?

BeardofPants · 04-14-2008, 12:58 AM

Shite. 'Helping' is wrong.
*goes off to fix.

No, 'we' is incorrect.

***Valandil*** · 04-14-2008, 07:30 AM

We've also tried the 'ye' and the 'be', also wrong. I see someone (Curufin) once tried 'he' and that got drownded among some other tries. Is it 'he'?
