The Quote Game - Part 4

[Nurvingiel]

Elfearz solved the last bit of the puzzle, I thought. Otherwise you can go luinilwen, you solved a lot more than me.

[-elfearz-]

elfearz did solve the last bit of the puzzle; however it wasnt a very big bit, and she should really be immersed in contract law textbook rather than tolkien

..however, seeing as i seem to be here instead, and luinilwen's offline, i might as well keep things moving..

this is long, but easy, plus...i love it!..yay!

Gandalf. (But I keep wanting to say Aragorn! But it's Gandalf.)

And Merry's pack was right beside him the whole time.

[Nurvingiel]

If your pack has not been found, then you must...

EDIT: It is Aragorn!

And it IS Aragorn, Nurv! He said it to Merry after healing him, when Merry inquired about his pipe and/or weed - which was laying on the floor by his bed.

Thank you! I've been forced to pass a few times, but now I post. (and sorry about not giving notice when I had to get offline earlier today... too many things going on and one thing drives out another as you know! Thank you for picking it up, Rian)

*still here*

Very good so far, elfearz... your one wrong word is 'wise'... which leaves you four words to go. Speaker is correct.

[-elfearz-]

oops...fine?

hehe i was half-thinking that it was..unorthadox..to say the least for gandalf to praise bilbo for his intellect...

managed; sole benefit?

All correct! Your turn... I think Nurv is 'in the act' of posting again!

G'night Nurv!

Gandalf to Bilbo?
