Quote Game - Part 10

"Sleep/_h_l_/you/_a_/./But/the/Captain/will/return/,
/if/he/is/_n_u_t/;/and/when/he/comes/we/shall/depart/swiftly/.
/We/shall/be/pursued/as/soon/as/_e_s/_f/_u_/d_e_/reaches/the/E_e_y/,
/and/that/will/not/be/long."

No idea of the speaker.

[The Dread Pirate Roberts]

Sleep while you may...

...as soon as news of our deed reaches the Enemy.

[Valandil]

Further solves all correct. I think that leaves one word and speaker.

[Goldberry1]

unhurt for the last word?

[Midge]

"Sleep while you may. But the Captain will return,
if he is unhurt; and when he comes we shall depart swiftly.
We shall be pursued as soon as news of our deed reaches the Enemy,
and that will not be long."

I'm getting something along the lines of either Helm's Deep, or the cleansing of Isengard parts... I'll guess ... it doesn't seem like one of the Company, so maybe.. Elfhelm?

Scratch that. I know when it was spoken, but the name of the speaker I am unsure of. Mablung or Damrod... fifty-fifty here. Mablung?

[Valandil]

Mablung it is, and the quote's all right. Your turn, Midge!

[Midge]

Ooh, I am such a good guesser! Woo hoo me! Ready for a good long one? I've got it!

Wow Midge... you've REALLY started going for the long ones!

OK, as one sets about to eat an oliphaunt (in small bites), here goes:


"For mithril. The wealth of Moria was not in gold
and jewels, the /t_y_/ of the /_w_r_e_/;
nor in iron, /_h_i_/s_r_a_t/. Such things

but they did not need to delve for them:
all things that they /_e_i_e_/ they could/_
b_a_n/_n/_r_f_i_/. For here alone in the
world was found Moria-silver, or true-silver
as some have called it: Mithril is the
Elvish name. The Dwarves have a name which they
do not tell. Its worth was ten times that of gold,
and now it is /_e_o_d/_r_c_/; for /_i_t_e/ is
_e_t/ above ground, and even the /_r_s/ have not
d_l_e/ here for it. The /_o_e_/ lead away
north /_o_a_d_/ Caradhras, and down to darkness.
The Dwarves tell no tale; but even as mithril
was the foundation of their wealth, so also it
was their destruction: they delved too greedily
and too deep, and disturbed that from which
they fled, Durin's Bane. Of what they
brought to light the Orcs have gathered
nearly all, and given it in tribute to Sauron,
who /_o_e_s/ it."

Gandalf?

Now it is beyond
the cores lead away

[Midge]

Okay... cross post with Val. His adds are correct. Everything except Varna's "cores" and his original "have" were correct, but both have been fixed in this version! Yay! Keep guessing those last words and the speaker!

[Varnafindë]

Iron, their servant

And Val has already guessed Gandalf.
I second his guess

[Goldberry1]

who covets it

[Midge]

Well, way to go me, missing the original speaker guess, which was indeed quite correct.

Other adds are right, too! Your turn, G1!

[Goldberry1]

I hadn't even realized I solved the last word! On to the quote:

I think Varnafinde edited another word into her last post, after you made yours.

Sneaky, VF... sneaky!

[The Dread Pirate Roberts]

It is fifteen leagues thence to the vale of the Morgulduin,
if they went straight south; and then they would be /_t_l_/ five
leagues westward of the accursed Tower. At /_w_f_e_t/ they would
not come there before today, and maybe they have not come
there yet. Indeed I see what you fear. But the /_a_k_e_s/ is
not due to their venture. It began yestereve, and all
Ithilien was under shadow that night. It is clear to me that
the Enemy has long planned an assault on us, and /_t_/hour
had already been determined before ever the travelers left
my keeping.

Only one word wrong, and Faramir is the speaker, so only a few left!
