woah...i've been on this computer too long i gotta get out of here...nah

[Firefoot]

Congrats... Gil-galad, Cirdan, and Elrond?

[Gil-Galad]

close...too many that time

[wilwarin538]

gilgalad told him and cirdan and elrond stood by gilgalad

[NightKnight]

If it wasn't Elrond, then it must have been Cirdan.

[Firefoot]

um, Cirdan and Elrond?

[The Perky Ent]

um, Gil-Galad ;) and Elrond? Congrats on the thousand. I was on it a little while ago. It's fun, ain't it. But, if you post frequently in Fun and Games, it isn't that hard ;)

[NightKnight]

Why do people keep guessing Gil-Galad? He was dead at that time.

[The Perky Ent]

Ok, sorry. Um...but all of the combinations besides him are out!

[Firefoot]

I for one, based my original guess off this sentence: "He [Isildur] alone stood by his father in that last mortal contest; and by Gil-galad only Cirdan stood, and I. But Isildur would not listen to our counsel." Though, if I had thought it through, you are right, Gil-Galad was dead.

[Gil-Galad]

Firefoot has it!


Firefoot-1




2. Name one of the original races in Beleriand that in the end, turned too serve a higher master

[The Perky Ent]

Man, I'm going for a real longshot, but I think it can work. Hopefully there's more than one right answer. But, is the answer, ents?

[Gil-Galad]

no...it didn't say that the ents headed to arda...oh dear i've said too much

[The Perky Ent]

umm...elves? You know your asking for race, not division, right?

[Gil-Galad]

yes...its not elves either

[Firefoot]

oh, never mind... the Dwarves?

[Gil-Galad]

keyword, not elves

[The Perky Ent]

Eagles?

[Gil-Galad]

yes!

Firfoot-1
Perky-1


3. name a "dark" elf



(excuse me if there too easy and for that last one, exams are over yet me head doesn't think so)

[Firefoot]

just cross-posting back and forth... I changed it to Dwarves, but you had already posted.

[The Perky Ent]

Eöl?

[Gil-Galad]

does not really matter my dear fellow, all has past now too the next question!


(i might talk like Jack Sparrow for awhile, just finished watching movie)

[The Perky Ent]

...um...you kinda never answered if my answer was right or not...

[Gil-Galad]

you are correct!


Perky-2
Firefoot-1


4. name the elf that caused the garrison at Hithlum too rush out and meet the enemy

[Firefoot]

Gwindor.

[Gil-Galad]

sure!


Firefoot-2
Perky-2


5. Name Fingolfins sword, what it means, and his horse


don't you people ever let me sleep!

[The Perky Ent]

I know the feeling. Anyways, the sword is Ringil, and by what it means, I don't quite follow. I know it was his glittering sword, but that's it. Also, the horse is Rochallor

[Gil-Galad]

ooh so close...

Sword-Ringil
Horse-Rochellor
Meaning-nope! sorry...guess again! meh i'll give it too you, or should i? seeing how you stole my pic logo...trademark thing

[Firefoot]

That gets me every time... I see Perky's avvie and think it's Gil-Galad...

Anyway, the sword's name doesn't have a meaning? It's only listed in one place in the Sil and says nothing about a meaning...

[Gil-Galad]

last i remember, it meant "Northern Star"...well i give too Perky


Perky-3
Firefoot-2



6. Name the only elf in the LOTR depicted has being really really old (features)

[Firefoot]

[Gil-Galad]

7.Name Celbrimbors ancestors (only fathers, no brothers of wifes)

[Fingolfin II]

Curufin (father), Feanor (grandfather) and Finwe (great-grandfather).

[Gil-Galad]

yep


Firefoot-3
Perky-3
Fingolfin II-1

8. Which Son of Feanor was most rebellious to his decisons, yet did not confront them, only accepted them

[Fingolfin II]

Maedhros?

[Gil-Galad]

Firefoot-3
Perky-3
Fingolfin II-2

9. how did Thranduils father die and why

[Firefoot]

Oropher was slain in the Battle of Dagorlad, and as to "why", I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but he went to battle because he "forsaw that peace would not return unless Sauron was overcome. He therefore assembled a great army..." Also they were ill-equipped in weapons and armor.

[Gil-Galad]

Firefoot-4
Perky-3
Fingolfin II-2

10.what brought the downfall of LothLorien?




(the reason "why" Oropher died was because he charged head-first at the black gate with, as you said, very little armor

[Fingolfin II]

The downfall of Lothlorien? I'm not sure, but I'll say Galadriel passing over the Sea and Celeborn going to live in Rivendell, so the numbers of the people there dwindled and eventually no one lived there (as we saw in the Tale of Arwen and Aragorn).

[Gil-Galad]

your right...but Firefoot wins anyway! your go FIREFOOT

[Firefoot]

Thanks.

The new topic is Orcs.

In approximately what year did the race of Uruks first appear out of Mordor?

[Fingolfin II]

Around about 2475 of the Third Age, when Osgiliath was attacked I think.

[Firefoot]

Fingolfin - 1

2. What is the Orkish word for "slave"?

[The Saucepan Man]

It's Snaga, isn't it?

[Firefoot]

Yes.

Fingolfin - 1
Saucepan - 1

What was the name of the Orc who was Captain of the Dark Tower?

[wilwarin538]

That would be Shagrat

[Firefoot]

No.

[wilwarin538]

then is it Gorbag?

[Firefoot]

Nope.

[Lindolirian]

Grishnakh?

[Firefoot]

That's the one!

Lindolirian - 1
Fingolfin - 1
Saucepan - 1

4. Why did the Orcs serve Melkor?

[Fingolfin II]

Because he forced them to do so through intimidation, since they were corrupted Elves in the beginning and they were forced to serve him even though they hated him deep down. Also because he offered them some degree of pleasure through violence and killing.

[Firefoot]

Perfect.

Fingolfin - 2
Lindolirian - 1
Saucepan - 1

5. What kind of weapon did Shagrat seem to prefer?

[Gil-Galad]

A Spear i beleive

[Firefoot]

Osse - 1

6. Who was Bolg's father?

[The Saucepan Man]

... Azog.

[Firefoot]

Hm, I'm going to have to start coming up with some harder questions.

Fingolfin - 2
Saucepan - 2
Lindolirian - 1
Osse - 1

7. How many Orcs were slain by the Fellowship in the Chamber of Mazarbul?

[Fingolfin II]

14- 13 orcs and 1 orc cheiftain.

[Firefoot]

Fingolfin - 3
Saucepan - 2
Lindolirian - 1
Osse - 1

8. What were the three companies of Orcs in the band that captured Merry and Pippin, and what were each of their purposes?

[Firefoot]

Gil-Galad - that was the question at the end of the last page.

[Gil-Galad]

i'm getting to stiff for this...

[Lindolirian]

Moria orcs from the Misty Mountains followed the Company for revenge or whatever. Isengarders had orders from Saruman to bring Halflings to Isengard alive, and Grishnakh and his band from Mordor were under the direction of the Nazgul to do whatever possible to haunt the Ringbearer and possibly take it from him...

[Firefoot]

Fingolfin - 3
Saucepan - 2
Lindolirian - 2
Osse - 1

9. Name 2 people who cut off the arms and hands of Orcs when they tried to capture him.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Húrin and Merry.

[Firefoot]

Fingolfin - 3
Saucepan - 2
Lindolirian - 2
Osse - 1
Nilpaurion - 1

10. How are Orcs' feet shod?

[Lindolirian]

With iron.

[Firefoot]

Yes, and that means it is a tie between Lindolirian and Fingolfin. So, this will be a tie-breaker question, only those two can answer.

How did the fight in the Tower of Cirith Ungol start?

[Lindolirian]

It all started with Gorbag trying to pinch that pretty shirt...

[Firefoot]

Ah, yes. In that case, please proceed. :)

[Lindolirian]

Hmmm that was a bad idea answering that last one with no topic in prep for the next game....:eek: But I think it'll work out anyhow:

Lays, Poems, and Songs (and their authors) is our next Topic. And the first question is:
1. Which lay is the longest of all written about the First Age?

[Firefoot]

The Lay of Leithian.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Narn i hin Húrin.

[Lindolirian]

Nope!
Edit: Yes to Nil... cross posting... Oi!

Nil- 1

2. What was the Battle of Unnumbered Tears called in The Narn?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Nirnaeth Arnoediad, perhaps?

[Lindolirian]

Nirnaeth Arnoediad, perhaps?
No that was the battle's final name. The one I'm looking for was a predecessor to that. Its in the first few lines of the Narn.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Nirnaeth Ornoth/Urnoth!

[Lindolirian]

Correct!

Nil- 2

3. How many cantos make up the Lay of Leithan?

[Firefoot]

13 complete ones, and some unwritten ones, seven as near as I can tell.

[Lindolirian]

That'll do!

Nil- 2
Firefoot- 1

4. Who (according to a certain song) is a throned lord of wisdom with a deadly sword, a healing hand, a trumpet-voice, and a burning brand?

[Gil-Galad]

Wouldn't that be Aragorn? probaly not...

[Lindolirian]

Probably not...:confused:

[Gil-Galad]

now that rings a bell, Turgon!

[Lindolirian]

The wrong bell has been rung!
It's the "throned" part that is meant to throw you off... and it's working.

[Gil-Galad]

I'm tempted to Say Thingol, but thats wrong...maybe Fingon...no...hint maybe at hand?

[Lindolirian]

Aragorn was closest. The fellow that the song about was never throned; I don't know why it says it in the song, but it does, so I used it.

[Gil-Galad]

hmm maybe Burning Brand is a hint...Denethor II? steward of Gondor

[Lindolirian]

Yes burning is included, but not burning of himself.
This is from a song in the books, not a cryptic riddle of my own. Though I did pick and choose lines to make it tougher.

[Gil-Galad]

Can i ask what age this person lived in...

[Lindolirian]

All, but he was most prominent in the Third. (There I've given it away haven't I?)

[Gil-Galad]

Meh Gandalf or ELrond

[Osse]

Gandalf...

[Lindolirian]

Well Gil-Galad, I'd give it to you, but you might think it's Elrond. Osse is the first one with the correct definitive answer. The song was Gandalf's "eulogy" sung by Frodo in Lorien.

Nil- 2
Firefoot- 1
Osse- 1

5. Again, according to a song, what causes pools to be black and stones to crack?

[Evisse the Blue]

Winter.

[Lindolirian]

That's it!

Nil- 2
Firefoot- 1
Osse- 1
Evisse- 1

6. What was Gleowine's last song?

[Firefoot]

'Twas a song for Théoden at his funeral.

[Lindolirian]

Yes!

Nil- 2
Firefoot- 2
Osse- 1
Evisse- 1

7. What color are the Celos and Erui according to an Elf?

[Firefoot]

[Lindolirian]

Correct!

Firefoot- 3
Nil- 2
Osse- 1
Evisse- 1

8. In which Canto of the Release from Bondage was chronicled the duel at the gates of hell?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Twelve!

[Lindolirian]

Firefoot- 3
Nil- 3
Osse- 1
Evisse- 1

9. What is a flittermouse and where was one mentioned?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

A bat! It was mentioned in the Lay of Leithian, when Lúthien took form as one of Thû's messengers while headed for Angband.

[Lindolirian]

Yeah, isn't that an awesome name for a bat? Anyway, last question, that is if Firefoot doesn't get it for the tie...

10. Who wrote the Noldolantë?

[Firefoot]

Maglor.

[NightKnight]

Bat in Swedish is "fladdermus" (mus=mouse). :p

[Lindolirian]

Two points for NK :D
Nice timing Firefoot...

Ok for the tie breaker between Nilpaurion Felagund and Firefoot, I felt that I had to come up with a real whiz-banger.

11. What city (also the title of the poem) is described as being on a sable hill, by an azure sea, under an azure sky, and where no voice stirs?

*Remember this is for Firefoot and Nilpaurion Felgund only, as a tie breaker.*

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Kortirion? As in Kortirion among the Trees?

[Lindolirian]

Technically Kôr, but it's the same city, so yes. It's your game!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

And our topic is...rivers.

1. What is the longest river in Beleriand?

[Lindolirian]

Gelion!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Lindo -1

2. The longest river in Númenor?

[The Perky Ent]

Siril

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Lindo -1
Perks -1

3. In which river/stream was the last battle of the Nirnaeth fought?

[Lindolirian]

It was in the Fens of Serech and that looks to be at the junction of Rivil (stream) and Sirion (river).

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

But the brothers drew the remnant of the Men of the house of Hador about them, and foot by foot they withdrew, until they came behind the Fen of Serech, and had the stream of Rivil before them. There they stood and gave way no more.

(QS 20)

Rivil alone would have been accepable. :)

Lindo -2
Perks -1

4. The longest river in the Mortal Lands?

[Thorongil]

Sirion?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Gelion is longer than Sirion, but the answer ain't Gelion, either.

[Thorongil]

Anduin?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Lindo -2
Perks -1
Thorongil -1

5. Name three rivers with islands in their paths.

[Evisse the Blue]

Anduin had Cair Andros, Sarn Gebir, Tol Brandir.
Adurant- Tol Galen
Sirion - Tol Sirion.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

You gave the rivers and the names of their islands! That would be my next question!

*sighs*

Perks -1
Thorongil -1
Evisse -1

6. What are the rivers flowing into the Sea of Rhûn?

[The Perky Ent]

Thorongil -1
Evisse -1

9. The five rivers of Lebennin.

[The Perky Ent]

I'm not as good at these, but....Gilrain, Serni, Celos, Tumladen, and Sirith?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Sorry. Try again. :)

[The Perky Ent]

Gilrain, Serni, Celos, Sirith, and Anduin?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Perks -5
Lindo -2
Thorongil -1
Evisse -1

10. Nunduinë flows through which lake?

[The Perky Ent]

Question 5: What is the sword Gandalf carries, and what is it's inscription in elvish and english?

Gil-Galad - 1 1/3
Firefoot - 1


But since I can't...

[Gil-Galad]

i would just give it to him!

[The Perky Ent]

That...or wait for someone who's done some research to answer! Gil-Galad, you have access to the internet, and probably the LOTR books. It's not that hard...

[Gil-Galad]

aww come on...i'm too lazy with my hurt knee to walk up stairs to my room...

[Firefoot]

Glamdring

Elvish: Turgon Aran Gondolin, Tortha gar a matha Glamdring, Vegil Glamdring gud daelo, Dam an Glamhoth.

1. Where are the caves of Nargothrond to be found?

Oh silly me, I knew it was Thingol, I was thinking of Finrod and Turgon and their fun little dreams.

BTW, "avuncular" is a super cool word.

[Firefoot]

Thingol.

Oh, dear, silly me, I didn't realize there was another page...

[Lindolirian]

This did Curufin
when his brother ceased did then begin
more to impress upon their minds

that never again till Turin's day

of open battle go to war...

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

It's mentioned in the scene right after Curufin's spell-casting...or I think that's what he did. :rolleyes:

The Battle of Tumhalad.

Lindo - 3
Firefoot - 3
Thorongil - 2
Fingolfin II - 2

For Lindo and Firefoot only...

11. Who was the only ruler of Nargothond who had an offspring, and who is this offspring? (Clue: it's not Finrod and Elenrod. ;) )

[Firefoot]

Orodreth and Finduilas.

Summer?

[Firefoot]

Gil-Galad - 1
Morsul - 1

Morsul - 1
Lindolirian - 1

4. How did Túrin find out that he killed Beleg?

Lindolirian - 1
Mariska - 1

5. How did Dorlas recognize Túrin?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

There [on the barrow of Finduilas Túrin] laid himself down, and a darkness fell on him, so that they thought he was dead. But Dorlas . . . said: " . . . see: here lies Mormegil himself, the great captain of Nargothrond. By his sword we should have known him, as did the Orcs." (UT I 2)

Collapsing on a mound should be identification enough. ;)

6. After Túrin left Doriath, how many times did he meet Beleg, and under what circumstances?

[NightKnight]

First time when Beleg was imprisoned by Turin's comrades and they started their outlaw band, and then when Beleg saved him from the orcs and was killed. So two.

[Firefoot]

Nope.

[Gil-Galad]

Three

[Firefoot]

You didn't answer the whole question. I asked what circumstances too.

[Gil-Galad]

Beleg went to thingols command...can't remember the other two

[Thorongil]

Three. I think it was when he found Turin with the outlaws, then he met him another time on Amon Rudh and the last time at the orc camp when Turin killed him.

[Firefoot]

Yes!

Gil-Galad - 1
Morsul - 1
Lindolirian - 1
Mariska - 1
Nilpaurion - 1
Thorongil - 1

And the score is tied at one...

7. What did Túrin call his childhood friend?

Happy 2000th post to me!

[Gil-Galad]

Weren' they the Mist Elves of Mithrim? or was that Tuor...

[Lindolirian]

His nickname for Sador was Labadal, which means Hopafoot.

[Firefoot]

Lindo has it.

8. Where was Túrin travelling during the Fell Winter?

[Gil-Galad]

Beleriand!


wasn't it Dimbar? or another place where he saw Angband from afar?

[Firefoot]

Nope.

[Morsul the Dark]

thinks ive read that finally one ive read...to ulmo's house...or was that hurin...no i think i t was turin

[Gil-Galad]

Amon Rudh?

[Firefoot]

None of those.

[Tulkas the Mighty]

He was going from Nargothrond to Dor-Lomin and he passed Tuor and Voronwe and the Pools of Ivrin.

[Firefoot]

Good.

9. When did Túrin get his sword Gurthang?

[Fingolfin II]

He received it from Gwindor after his madness was washed away by Ivrin.

One more question; a tie seems fairly likely... :rolleyes: ;)

10. Describe the relationship between Túrin and Saeros.

[Fingolfin II]

They didn't like each other, to say the least. Saeros disliked Turin because he grudged him Thingol's favour, and Turin hated Saeros because of his animosity towards him, and especially his words against Morwen.

[Gil-Galad]

Saeros also commented on the men of Hithlum, he said that the women ran around naked with there hair as there clothes, then he got hit by a cup...

[Firefoot]

Fingolfin's answer is fine.

That makes it a tie between Fingolfin and Lindolirian. This is a tiebreaker question for those two only.

***Exactly how long was it from the time that Morwen and Nienor fled Dor-lomin and Túrin came back?

[Lindolirian]

One year and three months.

[Firefoot]

Very good. Lindolirian, please proceed with the next topic. :)

[Lindolirian]

Ha! Well, isn't it just like me to win it with no topic in mind. Hmm... I hope I can get 10 questions out of...
Orcs

1. What color is their blood?

[Thorongil]

Black?

[Lindolirian]

Correct!

Thorongil- 1

2. Who did Morgoth send against Thingol with the purpose of kidnapping Luthien?

[Firefoot]

A host under Captain Boldog.

[Lindolirian]

Yes!

Thorongil- 1
Firefoot- 1

3. And what was special or different about this Boldog?
