Kevin's Watch

I've never worked out what was forming in the Wightbarrow, that the Cavewights thought was Drool Rockworm but wasn't.

Any suggestions, humorous or otherwise?

Pete.

Is this like the old question, "Who's buried in Grant's tomb?"

I thought it was just going to be a sort of warped, crazy semi-Drool thing

why would they want to bringback drool neway? why was he so special?

To the Cavewights, Drool was a God. They were actually raising some kind of demon thing and not Drool at all. Covenant, after Findail banished his shade from Kiril Threndor, actually went to the Wighbarrow and made "something rise" from it to free the First and Pitchwife. Distracting the Cavewights enough so they could get away and get to the cavern where Linden, Findail and Vain were.

so much for the cavewights being lore-wise...

a barrow-wight... plus Frodo

Damn. Beat me to it.

Whatever it was the wrights were damn careful about how the barrow was put together. Remember how the First and Pitchwife started to mess up the bones and all the wrights froze in their attacks...
Linden said that it wasn't Drool but something monstrous... makes me wonder ... she never saw Drool so mebbe it was Rockworm but she didn't know it.
I find it kinda funny that Findal pretended to be whatever it was under the barrow. It brings back a memory of Linus sitting in the pumpkin patch and sees a shadow of what he thought was the Great Pumpkin and faints and it turns out to be Snoopy.

got a point about linden there... like with the raver she wouldn't be able 2 recognise it unless she knew what it was b4...

however i guess she saw the cavewights and knew that whatever was in the barrow wasn't one of them... and in that way, monsterous... i guess...

(lol at snoopy )

I don't believe it was Findail who caused this, it was TC.

As Furl's Fire said earlier:

I've forgotten - we're the Cavewights ever referred to as being lore wise?

Nah I don't think they were, I think this was a reasonable rare foray.

they are refered to as lore-wise somewhere in the 2nd crons.... but i'm not sure where, its not in TWl tho, thats 4 sure... either of the others could b it..

I know the Ur-Viles were frequently referred to as "lore-wise"...not sure about Cavewights... Depends on the lore, I suppose. They were very wise in the lore of digging holes

Maybe it was a Gremlin that Drool had been feeding after midnight...

I thought the cavewights referred to themselves as being lorewise, or at least alluded to something similar to it, when confronted by TC and the others while in the room with the pile of bones that housed something monstrous. They claimed to have kept their power hidden from Foul.
