Hookbill the Goomba

Was he slain by he who dwells in Sheol?

paavo
04-09-2005, 05:12 AM
did he belong to the ones who most probably had to wake up real early to get hair and such into order?

Nilpaurion Felagund
04-10-2005, 05:34 AM
Is it dead before getting in?

NightKnight
04-10-2005, 02:11 PM
Did he come with an indecent proposal?

did he belong to the ones who most probably had to wake up real early to get hair and such into order? Not Fundin

And these two:

Is it dead before getting in?
Is it one who dreams of the past?

How about an "I don't know"? What're your answers, Evisse and Nilp?

Holbytlass
04-27-2005, 07:22 AM
Is it a nasty man who shared first name with a horse?

Evisse the Blue
05-03-2005, 06:13 AM
Sorry for the delay, Firefoot!
My answer was Faramir - who dreamt of Numenor.

Firefoot
05-03-2005, 02:37 PM
I almost put that, too... oh well.

Fl.

(And this would then render Holbytlass's question irrelevant, since I believe the answer would be Ferny.)

And also, Nilp doesn't seem to be around much right now, go ahead and keep asking questions.

paavo
05-05-2005, 08:11 AM
Does it eat hobbit flesh?

Nilpaurion Felagund
05-10-2005, 11:20 PM
Ich bin hier.

My answer is Flói, member of Balin's expedition to Moria, who died before entering said Dwarven abode.

Firefoot
05-11-2005, 04:51 AM
Flo.

(Paavo, if your question still works with these letters, please repost it...)

NightKnight

Is it a feeding place?

paavo
06-01-2005, 10:10 AM
knock knock?

Firefoot
06-01-2005, 10:12 AM
Is it a feeding place? It is the Floating Log!

Good job, NightKnight.

Glirdan
06-01-2005, 04:11 PM
So who goes now? Because NightKnight hasn't thought up of something.

From the ver interested Glirdy

P.S. Good idea for a game paavo!!!

Firefoot
06-01-2005, 04:18 PM
It's only been about six hours. NK has 10 days, so... NK goes next. :)

Gil-Galad
06-01-2005, 04:20 PM
read the quiz room rules...gotta wait ten days for NightKnight to reply

Glirdan
06-01-2005, 06:43 PM
OOPS!!! My bad. I didn't look to see what time he posted his answer.

NightKnight
06-02-2005, 02:46 AM
OK, I've got one. Starts with an O.

Hookbill the Goomba

Is it where waters are many?

Did it correct the oldest of its kind?

NightKnight

What's your answer, Nil?

Hookbill, wait for Nil's answer. You might get a new letter then.

Hookbill the Goomba
06-09-2005, 04:50 AM
Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. I was very tired and dreading an exam when I posted that, so, you’ll have to forgive me on that account.

Nilpaurion Felagund
06-09-2005, 11:23 PM
Odo Proudfoot, who corrected Bilbo, the oldest Hobbit, regarding his surname's plural.

Next letter, please.

NightKnight
06-10-2005, 05:56 AM
Ooh, nice one. Next letter is R, so the word starts with OR.

Hookbill the Goomba
06-10-2005, 07:28 AM
Is it that which seems like the end, but isn't?

NightKnight
06-10-2005, 01:15 PM
Is it that which seems like the end, but isn't?

It's not Orfalch Echor.

Hookbill the Goomba

Did it have two meanings?

Evisse the Blue

Is it one that keeps watch even in the grave?

NightKnight
06-12-2005, 02:43 PM
Did it have two meanings?

It's not Orthanc.

Hookbill and Evisse, your answers, please?

Hookbill the Goomba
06-12-2005, 11:44 PM
My answer was Orodruin. Frodo calls it the End of all things, but it isn’t, as the world seems to go on after they have left it.

Gil-Galad
06-13-2005, 07:06 AM
Is it a mound of fire? Its not Orodruin

does it still count if its been used already?

NightKnight
06-13-2005, 11:28 AM
EDIT: as there has been some confusion with the rules, I will try to clarify them as saucepan suggested.

the same answer cannot be given more than once to the questions being asked by the guessers. That's why, for example, we can keep on asking "Is it a Dwarf?" and expect a different answer each time. If the person who has set the clue cannot give an answer, then he/she must ask the person who asked the question to give their answer. If their answer is one which has previously been given, the game simply carries on.
the person who has set the clue needs to keep in mind the answers already given and guessers should try to avoid asking a question to which the only answer (or at least the only answer that they can think of) is one which has already been given.

So no, that won't give you a new letter.

Hookbill the Goomba
06-13-2005, 12:15 PM
Yeah, sorry folks, I didn't see that it was already used... :o

I'll go and hide...

NightKnight
06-14-2005, 09:56 AM
Don't worry, just wait until Evisse posts her answer, and you can ask a new question.

Evisse the Blue
06-14-2005, 02:51 PM
My answer is Orcrist, Thorin's sword, who was buried with its master and warned the dwarves of the approach of enemies by glowing in the dark - thus guarding the fortress.

NightKnight
06-15-2005, 04:41 AM
And that was also my answer. Your turn, Blue One. :)

Evisse the Blue
06-15-2005, 06:17 AM
Thankies, NK. :)

Starts with a S.

Gil-Galad
06-15-2005, 07:08 AM
Did it make(in a way) hatred between two races?

NightKnight
06-16-2005, 05:54 AM
Is it a guide?

Hookbill the Goomba

Is it he who was second to Melkor?

Evisse the Blue

Okay...

Is it he who has tenfold shields on his back?

Evisse the Blue
06-17-2005, 01:03 PM
It's not Smaug, Saruman, or ...Sir?

I think that to Gil-galad's question there are 1000 more possible answers. Ok, I may be exagerating a bit :p

Gil-Galad

Is it a royal term of derision? -Not Stormcrow

Hookbill, what's your answer?..

Hookbill the Goomba
06-22-2005, 09:54 AM
:D

My answer was Sheen. A title given to the Moon by the Vanyar, the Light Elves of Valinor, at the time of its creation. The name is a translation of Elvish Isil.

Letter please!

Evisse the Blue
06-22-2005, 10:13 AM

NightKnight
06-22-2005, 04:06 PM
Is it Shiny?

Evisse the Blue
06-23-2005, 01:30 PM
It's not Sunlending, it's not the Sun.

Gil Galad, I have no idea about your question. Do you mean the equivalent of Vladimir on one of those Elvish name generators? Do you mean a possible Elvish name made up from 'volod' meaning to rule and 'mir' meaning peace? Either way, I'm at a loss....

Gil-Galad
06-23-2005, 02:32 PM
err...to be honest i'm confused myself... but yea i'm pretty sure its the name generator...


Vladimir in elvish is Surutar

Nilpaurion Felagund
06-23-2005, 09:24 PM
In that case, it is not a literal translation, and would not be counted . . .

. . . I think. Could anyone rule on this? Sauce?

Gil-Galad
06-24-2005, 10:03 AM
bah i hate making big fusses over these stupid things, just let it pass and i'll post again in a week seesh...

The Saucepan Man
06-25-2005, 11:48 AM
. . . I think. Could anyone rule on this? Sauce?The answers must be from Tolkien's works. Answers from name generators do not count. Otherwise, we might as well start allowing names from fan fics etc, which would make the question-setter's job impossible.

Hookbill the Goomba
06-25-2005, 11:55 AM
Is it that which came third in Gondor?

Orominuialwen
06-25-2005, 07:40 PM
Is it a body of water?

Evisse the Blue
06-26-2005, 11:29 AM
It's not Surion and not the Sundering Seas.

Your thread. :)

Orominuialwen
06-27-2005, 04:23 PM
Okay, The first letter is E.

Hookbill the Goomba
06-27-2005, 11:52 PM
Is it he who is called 'star-brow'?

Nilpaurion Felagund
06-28-2005, 02:26 AM
Is it one who hears far with someone?

Arestevana
06-28-2005, 07:30 AM
Is it one whose son was part of the Fellowship?

Gil-Galad
06-28-2005, 10:57 AM
Is it Lonely yet not alone anymore?

Orominuialwen
06-28-2005, 11:16 AM
It's not Elessar, Esmeralda Took, or Erebor. Nilp, I have no idea what yours could be be. Tell me your answer and I'll give you the next letter.

Gil-Galad
06-28-2005, 11:22 AM
Should wait for Nilp's anwser...

NightKnight
06-28-2005, 01:57 PM
My guess would be Elbereth. :rolleyes:

Nilpaurion Felagund
06-28-2005, 10:15 PM
My answer is Elentári, or Varda, who hears the farthest when Manwë is with him.

Orominuialwen
06-29-2005, 11:05 AM
Thanks. I probably should have gotten that if I'd thought a little more clearly, but oh well.

Next letter is R.

paavo
06-29-2005, 11:21 AM
Could it be mistaken for a being of great power?

Hookbill the Goomba
06-29-2005, 11:24 AM
Is it heir to the first of the throne holders?

Orominuialwen
06-29-2005, 11:34 AM
It's not Erui or Ereinion.

Arestevana
06-29-2005, 06:19 PM
Is it the kings' land?

Orominuialwen
06-29-2005, 07:59 PM
It's not Eriador.

Arestevana
06-30-2005, 09:09 AM
Is it one who counseled a ring-bearer?

Orominuialwen
06-30-2005, 11:06 AM
It's not Erestor.

Gil-Galad
06-30-2005, 11:55 AM
Is it the land of the last?

Arestevana
07-01-2005, 08:18 AM
Is it both Eldar and Edain?

Nilpaurion Felagund
07-01-2005, 09:33 PM
Is it the dead that lived?

Orominuialwen
07-06-2005, 04:21 PM
It's not Eressëa or Erech.

For the life of me, I can't figure out what yours could be, Arestevana. Answer please!

Arestevana
07-07-2005, 12:51 PM
That would be 'Erusen', the "children of Eru" for whom Arda was prepared.

Orominuialwen
07-07-2005, 03:13 PM
Ahhhh. Good one. I was looking for a specific person, which is why I didn't get it. Next letter is E.

Mettare
07-07-2005, 06:25 PM
Is it a Queen?

Nilpaurion Felagund
07-07-2005, 08:42 PM
Is it once distant but now nearer?

NightKnight
07-08-2005, 03:01 AM
Is it a descendant of kings?

Arestevana
07-08-2005, 07:43 AM
Is its light a sign of trouble?

Nilpaurion Felagund
07-17-2005, 11:39 PM
Will it be here to answer our questions? ;)

Orominuialwen
07-18-2005, 11:05 AM
Sorry to be so slow in responding! :o
It's not Erendis, Erellont, Ereinion, or Erelas.

Nilpaurion Felagund
07-18-2005, 09:05 PM
Is it once distant but now nearer?

Dimturiel
07-19-2005, 01:25 AM
Did they separate two lands once?

Orominuialwen
07-19-2005, 04:19 PM
It's not Ered Gorgoroth. Nilp, the only other possible answer I can think of for yours is Erech, which you already asked about, so it can't be that. What was your answer?

Nilpaurion Felagund
07-19-2005, 10:36 PM
My answer was Eressëa. In HoME, it was really lonely, placed exactly between Aman and the Hither Lands, with no landmass for miles around it. By the time of the Silmarillion, it was moved closer to Aman.

Next letter, please. :)

You're really evil, you know that? Using HoME?

Orominuialwen
07-20-2005, 04:21 PM
Well, I had already said that it wasn't Eressëa in post #1359 (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=397742&postcount=1359), but I'll give to you anyway, seeing as I don't want the tiresome bother of having to go through every mountain range in MIddle-Earth, and the next letter will eliminate that possibility. The next letter is G.

Nilpaurion Felagund
07-20-2005, 09:02 PM
How blind of me not to have seen that!

Oh, drop the bloody theatrics.

OK, so is it the land of Fëanor's grandson?

Orominuialwen
07-20-2005, 09:58 PM
Indeed, it is Eregion. At least this way I don't have to go through the 9 different possibilities beginning with "Ered" (according to the Encyclopedia of Arda). Now that would've been a pain! It's your game, Nilp. :D

Nilpaurion Felagund
07-20-2005, 10:12 PM
Now I'll be the one you'll be troubling with your questionsss of yours.

Let's start with a G.

Gil-Galad
07-21-2005, 07:30 AM
Is he a awesome person? and also Wifeless

Orominuialwen
07-21-2005, 03:38 PM

Nilpaurion Felagund
07-24-2005, 05:20 AM
Did he betray his companions? Not Gorlim
Did he notice something before one of the rohirrim? Not Ghân-buri-Ghân

Welcome back, paavo. I daresay you came back at a bad time--now I have to be subject to your extremely tricksy questions. ;)

paavo
07-24-2005, 03:02 PM
Thank yoi Nilp I'm glad to be here. :) I try not to dissapoint you. ;)

Did he tried to follow the path of a wild reindeer with fatal consequences?

Nilpaurion Felagund
07-24-2005, 09:58 PM
I try not to dissapoint you. ;) (paavo)
I was kinda hoping you would. I mean, a nice clear head for me would be nice. :p

Did he tried to follow the path of a wild reindeer with fatal consequences? Not Glóin

Celebriel Esgaledhel
07-24-2005, 11:03 PM
Was he related to one who tried to follow the path of a wild reindeer with fatal consequences?

Nilpaurion Felagund

Was he related to one who tried to follow the path of a wild reindeer with fatal consequences? Not Gimli

paavo
07-25-2005, 04:02 AM
Ah, but don't you think that clear heads are much overappreciated? I mean isn't that what heads are made for: making them such a mess that it hurts. :p

Did he tried to follow the path of a wild reindeer with fatal consequences? (Now why do I have the feeling that I've seen that clause somewhere before? :) )

Nilpaurion Felagund
07-25-2005, 06:24 PM
Ah, but don't you think that clear heads are much overappreciated? I mean isn't that what heads are made for: making them such a mess that it hurts. :p (paavo) Well, they would hurt better if they were clear.

Wait . . .

Did he tried to follow the path of a wild reindeer with fatal consequences? Let's say I give up. What's your answer?

paavo
07-26-2005, 07:33 AM
I had already forgotten the satisfaction one gets for thinking up a guestion you can't find an answer to. :p The correct answer would have been Glaurung as he tried to cross Cabed-en-aras through the same route as a a wild reindeer escaping from the hunters of Haleth. And I think we all know how Glaurungs jump over the Cabed-eb-aras ended. :)

Nilpaurion Felagund
07-26-2005, 07:16 PM
And I think we all know how Glaurungs jump over the Cabed-eb-aras ended. (paavo) With a pretty nasty thorn on his belly? ;)

GR

Nilpaurion Felagund

Was it used in battle twice by great evil? not Grond

paavo
07-27-2005, 05:14 AM
Thorns in a belly really are nasty. They wont come out however hard you try. :p
Did he have too many targets?

Nilpaurion Felagund
07-27-2005, 07:37 PM
Did he have too many targets? Not Greenleaf

More nasty, however, is swallowing a thorn. If it pierces your stomach, and the gastric juices ooze out, you'll slowly dissolve from the inside. A painful death. :p

Eeew!

I was about to repeat my question (yes, again:)) but Amanaduial was too fast and stole my answer. You evil evil archer. :p :)

Did their tradition survive because of an apprentice?

Amanaduial the archer
07-28-2005, 01:49 PM
Lol, sorry Paavo ;)

Is it a name for one of the great forests of Middle Earth?

Nilpaurion Felagund

Basically we say a question describing a person/place/event/thing and the Questioner has to guess which thing we are getting at, if not, he/she gives another letter and we continue guessing

I am actually a bit ashamed of my answer since it is.. well, dumb. But what wouldn't I do for the next letter. Between Sauron who is known for his darkness/blackness and Gandalf the white there is of course grey, Gandalf's old colour.
