Bump.

Should I declare a winner now? Where is everyone?!?! This one's eeeeeeasy.

There's still a chance for someone to win -- there are three that have not been correctly answered, and three more that can be made more specific. Similarly, there's a chance for anyone who's already entered to improve their score and get ahead of someone else.

[Cameraman Jenn]

Congrats BC! Wayfriend, what's the new challenge for this week?

Mr. Smarty Pants!

[wayfriend]

Wayfriend, what's the new challenge for this week?

Still thinking ...

[matrixman]

Most excellent, Brother Charn! (I would have totally sucked.)

I'm just posting here gratuitously to help Wayfriend accumulate more WGDs for him to give away.

[Cameraman Jenn]

That is appreciated MM!

[Brother Charn]

I love to play games, even moreso if I can occasionally win them.

Thank you for helping to make the Watch even more "sticky" for all of us, WF!!

[wayfriend]

Well, I have another 500, so here goes.

This Week's Contest

Saltheart Foamfollower famously said, "Say no more - with one word you will make me weep." Your task shall be to make me weep with one sentence.

Post a single-sentence quote from the First or Second Chronicles that brings a tear to the eye.

The winner will be be the contestant whose entry is judged to refer the soggiest passage, and whose chosen sentence best evokes that passage.

Audience: post in this thread to show which entry you think deserves to win! The judge pays attention to these things.

[Cameraman Jenn]

Wow, that's a tough one.

[dlbpharmd]

"So they put away their tools, and banked their fires, and made ready their homes as if in preperation for departure."

[Fist and Faith]

Excellent one, dlb.

He did not hear Lena arise, gather the shreds of her clothing, speak, or climb away out of the shattered ravine.

I'd have done this, but it requires both sentences:

"She went to spend the night with a friend. She only called out her message as she passed our home."

[matrixman]

"She didn't have anything left except her smile."

[High Lord Tolkien]

Well, I have another 500, so here goes.

"Wayfriend, you and I are brothers and I'm moving in with you next week!"


Oh.
You want it from the Chronicles........
Hmmmm........

[Menolly]

Reaching out to them as if they were all one, as if they were only Foamfollower in multiform guise, Covenant took them into his embrace, and wept white fire.
