The Lore of the Rings - V2 (DC Contest)

[MR. Lurtzy]

Alas, I had such a good idea for the two.

[sickofpalantirs]

Hah. No. The second one is a joke, really.

But... skinning hobbits? It's funny, right?

Right?

RIGHT???

where is that lore from? I have no memory of it...send me a PM in a few days if I haven't sent you the DC el, as I have probably forgot

It's just after Frodo is stabbed by a big spear and doesn't get hurt. Aragorn says it when he sees the Mithril-Coat.

Gack! I'd still like to submit for this round if I can have until tomorrow. If not, I'll do my best to throw something together today....

[Elf_Lvr]

That's fine, Dain. I would rather still like to have you in the contest. I DO actually have everyone else's cards, so it looks like we can get the ball rolling again tomorrow.

[DáinIronfoot]

Then I'll try and get it in today to avoid holding things up. Just means I'll likely have to hold off posting my own DCs until then as well...which I might have done anyway.

Oh, and more Realms stuff soon, too. I promise! I was getting close to posting more before my daughter decided she'd waited long enough and came early.

But first, this contest. I'll see what I can do real quick-like.

[lem0nhead]

Hello? Is anyone there?

[sickofpalantirs]

Holy...! Four cultures. Last time there was only .

[Gate Troll]

I really like both #4 and #7 and it took awhile before I decide to put #4 first.
I didn't like any of the others very much except #1 which seemed okay but a bit complicated.
So, without further ado:


Awesome: 4
Cool: 7
Neat:1
