AxeElf?

Ardred wants it known that if the above answer is correct, he came up with it.

If it’s incorrect, we won’t rest until we figure it out. :slight_smile:

223

No rest for you.

I think I’m in trouble here for coming up with something that actually turns out to be too obscure…

224

AUGH! I had this all assembled and the stupid hamsters ate my post!

TRYING AGAIN, to recap Ethilrist’s question, clues, and all the incorrect answers!

THE QUESTION:
Who should we talk to about all these darned elves that need killin’?

THE CLUES:
#1: “It’s not from any of the books, but none of the LOTR geeks have ever had any problem answering riddles I have posted associated with this.”

#2: Mineral.

#3: Not Thorin’s.

THE INCORRECT GUESSES:
Sauron
FairyChatMom
Melkor
Orc Samurai
Ugluk
mithril
Eric_Balrog
Darwinself
AxeElf

Durinsbane?

226

Ooooo, that’s a good one…I completely forgot about that one, hunting for its more “universal” name of “Balrog”.

227

OK well I’m gonna just post one for entertainment value while we’re working on the Ethilrist Enigma.

I want to decorate my outdoors eating area with an Irish-influenced theme. Any suggestions?

228

Paddy O’Furniture.

OK, mine next: Why is Duke’s girlfriend burning bright? :slight_smile:

229

Is your girlfriend Tiggrkitty? If so, you might want to find out why she’s running around in the forests at night.

230

In response to my question: “Before she changed her name, who would have the go-to poster for a question on Mare Imbrium?”, I received this reply:

You are correct – she’s now Profane. As for your latest challenge, I’m still mulling it over.

231

I got one for y’all.

“You are not old, you _____ .”

232

You’re killing me here, Ethilrist.

mithrilhawk?

233

rjung.

Robin

234

Ethilrist… is it YOU???

235

Yes… but WHY?

236

Actually, I’m betting that Duke’s girlfriend is Tiger Tiger.

237

Does your username translate to Elf Bane?

238

Close enough. Orcrist (Thorin Oakenshield’s sword, that Frodo & The Gang found in a barrow along with Glamdring) translates as Orc Cleaver; my user name is taken from a sword of elf slaying in a D&D game.
