Apparently the poem is hinting there's more than one way to cure the disease
Ooooh! I am intrigued and very excited as to how that will be revealed. Have to read the poem again. By the way I loved your description of the study, the pedestal, the magnifying glass and the golden text...
even if by (ugh) elves. :)
Hehe, it is kind of funny to imagine their mental tug of war:
Oooh pretty! Shiny! Wow!
**Bloody elves. Think they are better than us, don't they?
This is actually very skilfully done... mmh, I wonder how...
**Stupid elves. They would never share their knowledge! (not that we'd need it, we are superior craftsmen!)
Beautiful!
**Hope I didn't say that out loud *scowls extra hard* Blasted elves! You can never find anything! Bet that damn artefact isn't even here...
*-*-*-*-*-*
I might have forgotten just how heavy a stone stool would be. Let's assume it either was on wheels or he had to exert himself quite a lot!
Well while reading I just assumed that he had to push/shove pretty hard *g*
Nothing can be done without reciting a lot of history and poetry and discussing legends and precedent! It would be the end of civilization! Don't even think about it! Great evil would come from any approach less thorough!
has yet to really commit himself to the quest That's true, I hadn't thought about that. The last agreement was to get Bilbo home so it's understandable if he freaks out hearing about another route being taken and talk of orcs...
