*goes insaner than he already was* I see we have the steal lined up too, excellent.

Bah, Rivvy's posted the answer Saeth had so it doesn't look like we can steal. *shakes fist at pointies*
Go Hank!

Woohoo, another one right!
Here's the next ones;
Imladris Question #3 ~ Whose thoughts were hidden from all stories? Team Hank Question #3 ~ Who created something because of his impatience?
Ours I'm pretty certain is Aule, I'm just off to get the quote. For theirs ... Mandos maybe?

"And in my impatience I have fallen into folly. Yet the making of thingsis in my heart from my own making by thee; and the child of little understanding that makes a play of the deeds of his father may do so without thoughts of mockery, but because he is the son of his father. But what shall I do now, so that thou be not angry with me for ever? As a child to his father, I offer to thee these things, the work of the hands thou hast made. Do with them what thou wilt. But should I not rather destroy the work of my presumption? Then Aulë took up a great hammer to smite the Dwarves and he wept." (Of Aulë and Yavanna / The Sil)

Aule fits the bill well so I'm happy to go with that for the answer.
Maybe this is a better (shorter) quote though?
"It is told that in the beginning the Dwarves were made by Aulë in the darkness of Middle-earth; for so greatly did Aulë desire the coming of the Children, to have learners to whom he could teach his lore and his crafts, that he was unwilling to await the fulfilment of the designs of Ilúvatar." Of Aulë and Yavanna, The Sil
Rivvy's... Mandos is a good possibility, I'll start going through the Sil index.

Couldn't find anything obvious for Mandos I'm afraid. It sounds like a Sil question though so I'll start flicking and hope to hit on something!

Rivvy have posted and though their explanation reads rather strangely, the answer and quote (Morgoth) look ok. I'll have another look in case I can find a better answer for a steal but don't hold your breath.

I saw, good work! We still have a couple of hours if we want to make a steal attempt but I've found nothing in my diggings.

Ok, both answers were correct! New questions:
Imladris Question #4 ~ Who managed to surprise even his own friend with a mighty voice? Team Hank Question #4 ~ Because of what old thing one old person suddenly felt very old?
Old people... Gandalf? Elrond (or any other Elf for that matter)? Bilbo and the Ring?
Legolas understood the age of Fangorn but it made him feel young rather than old. Searching now.

For Rivvy's, I think our steal if they don't get it would be a quote about Frodo speaking to Gollum while Sam was surprised, sometime around the Taming of Smeagol.
For ours...Bilbo perhaps? Felt old because of, erm...something?

Arr, well, Rivvy got theirs right. I doubt we can look for a steal attempt there. Any word on ours? I have final exams starting tomorrow so I can't be much use
