If you could have one weapon or item...

[Lantarion]

Incidently, the vision that phrase induces is not altogether enthralling! *gag, barf*, as a wise person once said.

 

[Grond]

Finally somebody understands how I feel. Now, if I can figure out the coordinates... will someone get a GPS and come get me??? Please!!!!

 

[Beren Erchanion]

Narya

 

[Bandgeek]

Glamdring, hands down.

Relax, Grond - I just sent You the one weapon or item - or whatever this thread is about - You really need the most - it's an EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Buoy) fully SaRSat (Search and Rescue Satellite) compliant with FedEx!

I just hope the address "Bottom of a Pit in Angband" will do...

Giving this another thought, I probably should have rather sent it with DHL, but then again, maybe Tom Hanks will be able to use it as well...

 

[Grond]

Walter... you da man, king of the dudes, so cool, no fool.....

you voted for me, right?

 

[Walter]

Grond: of course I did vote for You, I couldn't do anything else, I mean - You have the most ...umm... impressing - or should I say "heavy" - arguments!!! LOL

 

[Eomer Dinmention]

Arwen lol
nah just kidding probably Mithril Armour and Aragorn's sword
but mine better

 

[Rian]

I think I would choose Gimli's Axe.

 

[4th Age Scribe]

A hefty pouch full of South Farthing pipe-weed to smoke at my leisure.

 

[Mormegil]

I would love to weild Glamdring. It would be a lovely replacement for my black sword, Gurthang.

 

[daisy]

ruby slippers? Oh, wait....

I would want an oliphaunt ( spelling probably incorrect) and an elven cloak, some treebeard water to make my hair curly, and nenya.

And a little hobbit friend like Sam.

[Mormegil]

Wouldn't it be cool to borrow the Flame-Whip from the Balrog.

 

[Diabless]

What I would love that I can use today is "made by the elves" wooden or metal box (I collect them.)
Today, I would also love one of the Elven rings just to wear.
In terms of weaponry. I think mithril and a great looking helmet from Gondor and Anduril. I would want the Helmet and the Mithril to match though.

 

[YayGollum]

Um, the One Ring? What else? But only for my birthday.

 

[Merry]

I would like stealth, my wisdom and magical powers, failing that...Give me a bloody big sword!!

 

[Bucky]

Grond:
Where's it say you are 12 feet long?
I'm sure it says it somewhere, I just never read it. HoME?

And, The Elven Rings were not made as weapons of power. 'That is not where their strength lies'.


BTW, Why would anyone want a 3rd Age sword (or 2nd) in Anduril when you could have an Elven sword from the 1st age that glows when Orcs draw near?

Me, I'd take Anglachel/Gurthang. That sword could cleave regular iron.
It even talked once......

And, why all the defensive weaponry?
Did Hurin need a mithril coat when he was killing the 70 Orcs & Trolls in the 5th Battle?

Hey, what were Trolls doing out in the daylight?
I guess that's one of the inconsistencies CT was talking about.....

Actually it is based on speculation and/or exaggeration. Melkor used his foot to squish Fingolfin. Texts state that Fin was between 7 - 8 feet tall. That would put Melkor at 15 - 20 feet. His weapon would be half that or if it was a really big and wicked hammer, maybe....just maybe...... 12 feet!!!

 

[Eonwe]

I'd take Stormbringer (Gurthang)

Nah actually I would like Glamdring. Did Gandalf still have Glamdring when he was the White?

 

[Grond]

From RotK, Chapter Homeward Bound,

"...And Gandalf, too, was riding on his tall grey horse, all clad in white, with a great mantle of blue and silver over all, and the long sword Glamdring at his side."

Yup, he still had it!!
