New page recap

3. Yes, it is possible they were a similar height and weight to that of hobbits, but perhaps larger.
4. No, this character is not human.
5. No, this character is not a man of Rohan.

[Boromir88]

Is it Grishnakh? That's a very clever clue if I remember correctly, that he had a more evil voice, but softer than Ugluk's.

[Dwim]

Correct, @Boromir88, it is Grishnákh! Nicely done.

To explain the clue:

" 'That is a very interesting remark,' sneered a voice, softer than the others but more evil.[...]'Who does he think he is, setting up on his own with his filthy white badges? They might agree with me, with Grishnákh their trusted messenger; and I Grishnákh say this: Saruman is a fool, and a dirty treacherous fool. But the Great Eye is on him.' " - The Uruk-Hai, The Two Towers

[Boromir88]

Thanks @Dwim

Next clue is: Discourtesy

[Dwim]

Is this a dwarf?

Sorry to the dwarves that I thought of them first with this clue! :P

[Winddancer]

Is this in regards to a whole race?

[Almarëa Mordollwen]

Is this character male?

[Boromir88]

1. No, this character is not a dwarf.
2. No, not referring to a whole race
3. Yes, this character is male.

[Winddancer]

Is he mortal?

[KingODuckingham]

Is this referring to Theoden, as per Gandalf telling him in The Two Towers that the courtesy of his hall is somewhat lessened of late?

[Almarëa Mordollwen]

Does this character appear in the Lord of the Rings?

[Boromir88]

Nicely done, @KingODuckingham ! Yes it is Theoden. Take it away.

[KingODuckingham]

Hooray! Let me see...

Clue: the number three

[Almarëa Mordollwen]

Does the 'three' refer to a number of items? (edit: rather than a person, I mean)

[Winddancer]

Is it in regards to birth order?

[The Good Hunter]

Does this person only have three teeth?

[Rivvy Elf]

If this entity sang, would a normal person wince in displeasure?

[KingODuckingham]

1. Sort of? This is a surprisingly difficult question to answer actually *sweats* I'm not sure how to clarify, probably best to ask another question
2. The hint does not refer to birth order.
3. I'm pretty sure this person does not have three teeth, if I am wrong I will be horribly ashamed.
4. I suspect some would wince but most would not, if I had to wager.

[Dimcairien Luiniel]

Is this person one of the bearers of the three elven rings?

[Winddancer]

Is it a creature?

[Dwim]

Is this a mortal?

[KingODuckingham]

5. No, this is none of the Elven ringbearers.
6. No, not a creature (if by that you mean some sort of animal)
7. Yes, this is a mortal.

[Dwim]

8. Are they of the race of Men?

[Almarëa Mordollwen]

Do they appear in the Silmarillion?

[KingODuckingham]

8. Nope
9. Also no.

[Almarëa Mordollwen]

Is this a hobbit?

[Rivvy Elf]

If a giant spider showed up, would the person try to run away?

[KingODuckingham]

10. Yes, this is a hobbit
11. Yes, I imagine if this person would try to run away if they saw a giant spider, although I suppose it's possible they might Elijah Wood-style collapse in fear.

[Almarëa Mordollwen]

Was this person a ringbearer?

[Winddancer]

Is he male?

[Rivvy Elf]

Is it in the person's blood to be adventurous?

[KingODuckingham]

12. No, this person is not a Ringbearer.
13. Yes, he is male.
14. No, adventure is not in the blood cards for this fellow.

[Almarëa Mordollwen]

Is this Sam's old Gaffer, who was restored to number three, Bagshot Row?

[KingODuckingham]

It is! @Almarëa Mordollwen congratulations, got exactly where my mind was going.

[Almarëa Mordollwen]

Thanks!

New clue: wrest

[Winddancer]

Is it Gollum?

[Almarëa Mordollwen]

Does this person engage in the manly sport of Greco-Roman style wrestling?

[Dimcairien Luiniel]

Is it Lobelia Sackville-Baggins who took all of Bilbo's silver spoons?

[Aduchil]

Is it Ar-Phazarôn?

[Winddancer]

Is it a person?

[Almarëa Mordollwen]

Yes - it is indeed Ar-Pharazôn!

"At length Ar-Pharazôn listened to this counsel, for he felt the waning of his days and was besotted by the fear of Death. He prepared then the greatest armament that the world had seen, and when all was ready he sounded his trumpets and set sail; and he broke the Ban of the Valar, going up with war to wrest everlasting life from the Lords of the West." (Appendix A, The Return of the King)

The floor is yours, @Aduchil.

[Aduchil]
