Questions leading to anwsers

[Gil-Galad]

I'm gonna try and make more understandable rules

1. state how many questions you are goning to have(it has to be odd)
2. when you get to last question only the people who have points may anwser it
3. the little questions must ALL be in common with the main anwser

there i hope these are good enough

1. Who sacked the mountain?

[Arestevana]

Smaug?

[Telchar]

1. state how many questions you are goning to have

YOU BROKE THE 1st RULE!!! smilies/biggrin.gif So how many will there be Gil-Galad? smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[Gil-Galad]

There will be Five questions and if you like, Sauceman, you may add to the rules i have put up now.. I have a terrible cold and headache so i can't think right now...


(MY B-DAY IS TOMMORROW YAY!!!)

[The Saucepan Man]

Happy birthday, Gil. smilies/smile.gif

OK, I've deleted my previous post, so as not to cause confusion. Here are the rules for this game:
The question setter asks no more than six questions, specifying at the outset how many questions there will be (this should be re-stated with each new question to remind people). These initial questions should be relatively straightforward, although they might take a number of different forms (straight trivia, riddle, cryptic etc ). Once these initial questions have been answered, one final question is asked. Only those who have answered one or more of the initial questions may answer this final question (you should identify who may answer when asking the question). The answers to each of the questions must be connected in some way to the answer to the final question. The first person to answer the final question correctly continues with the next set of questions.

Gil, was Arestevana correct with Smaug?

[Gil-Galad]

Yep! good thing you catched Mountain, if i said mountains it could be alot of things

[Gil-Galad]

*bump*

[Telchar]

[NightKnight]

[Gil-Galad]

This cold is giving me mixed thoughts sorry!

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

[Gil-Galad]

[Gil-Galad]

[Arestevana]

I'm a little confused by the question. Could you try to clarify it a bit?

[Gil-Galad]

Which Creature received 15 "giants rings around neck" as a gift from the dwarves

[THE Ka]

Um... it doesn't specify but, i take the question for 100. Is the answer: King Brand? Just a hypothesis if you will. smilies/frown.gif smilies/confused.gif

" I'm nobody who are you?" - Emily Dikenson ,I'm nobody who are you?

5.name the dwarves who offered their services to Bilbo

[Arestevana]

I hope I am allowed to answer. I believe I recieved a point for the first question, though I have no idea how you got 'Estra' out of my name, Gil. smilies/wink.gif

I think the answer is:
Dwalin, Balin, Fili, Kili, Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin, Gloin, Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur. In short, the company of fourteen, bar Thorin Oakenshield. Unless of course you were referring to another event.

[Gil-Galad]

Astra-2
NightKnight-1
Telchar-1
Mahal-1

okay!!! now Astra, what is the anwser! remember if you get it wrong, you lose the chance to go on with next question!!

Hint:it was i nyour anwser at question 5

[Arestevana]

How about...The company of fourteen?

[Gil-Galad]

well.... i'll give it too you!!! it was actually Thorin Oakenshield, but since i'm feeling nice you can go!

[Arestevana]

Thanks Gil-Galad.

There will be five questions, the first of which is...

1) With whom did the three mariners Falathar, Erellont, and Aerandir sail?

[Telchar]

Eärendil?

[Arestevana]

Telchar- 1

Question two- for whom was the Nauglamir reforged?

[Telchar]

Thingol

[Arestevana]

Telchar- 2

(3) I am the daughter of the first (and craziest) Old Igloo Renovation Director.

[Arestevana]

*bump*
Why the dead silence? smilies/rolleyes.gif Yes, it's cryptic.
The first part is a straight clue, and the last part needs solving. (some assembly required smilies/biggrin.gif )

[Gil-Galad]

hint maybe?

[Arestevana]

The words Old Igloo Renovation Director are not a direct clue. Use 'first' and 'craziest' to get the rest of the clue out of those words. So you should end up with 'I am the daughter of _____'. Good luck.

[Elrond of Rivendell]

Elwing

[Fire-Galad]

is it too late to jion in?

[Gil-Galad]

you can join,... my guess would be Aredhel, daughter of Fingolfin, since Fingolfin lived in Hithlum, which was to the north... and Fingolfin granted land to teh edain in Dor Lomin

[Finwe]

My guess would be Luthien, daughter of Thingol, who was the first High King of the Sindar, rather crazy to boot, and "renovated" a cave to make Menegroth.

[Arestevana]

Telchar-2
Elrond of Rivendell- 1

For those who don't understand:
the first letter of the words 'Old Igloo Renovation Director', moved around, spell Dior, whose daughter was Elwing.

Question 4:
A gift of light
From the lady bright
The morning that passes away.
To break will of night
watching straight, left, right;
That evil the bearer might stay.

[Finwe]

The Phial of Earendil?

[Arestevana]

Telchar-2
Elrond of Rivendell- 1
Finwe- 1

Last Question; only those with points may answer.

Question 5: Who traveled with Daeron to the Mereth Aderthad, and by whom was this person killed?

[Finwe]

Mablung of the Heavy Hand, and he was slain by the Dwarves in the assault on Menegroth.

[Arestevana]

Correct, Finwe. Now, can you tell me the common theme?

[Finwe]

They or their makers were in Doriath at some point or the other.

Elwing lived in Doriath for a time.
Galadriel, the maker of the Phial of Earendil, stayed with Melian, in Doriath, for a while.
Mablung was from Doriath, and was a marchwarden.

[Arestevana]

Please continue, Finwe. While not the answer I had in mind, yours is certaintly correct. smilies/smile.gif

[Finwe]

All right. Here goes:


I'm going to have 5 questions. Here is the first one:


1) Elves were generally a happy race, although there were plenty who had slightly suicidal tendencies. Give me the name of the Elf who laughed, who was sibling to the Elf who challenged, and died.

[Firefoot]

Lalaith who was the sibling of Turin who challenged either Glaurung the dragon or his sword Gurthang.

<font size=1 color=339966>[ 8:43 PM January 05, 2004: Message edited by: Firefoot ]

Oh wait, nevermind. I'm getting confused again - Lalaith and Turin aren't Elves they're men. smilies/tongue.gif I knew I was doing too well at remembering names to be true! smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

<font size=1 color=339966>[ 7:35 AM January 06, 2004: Message edited by: Firefoot ]

[Gil-Galad]

Gwindor and Gelmir? maybe?

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Fingolfin and Feanor...?

[Finwe]

Oh you're quite close with that last one, you definitely have one of the siblings right.

[Firefoot]

Finarfin and Fingolfin?

[Finwe]

Nope. I'll give you a hint: One of the siblings in question is female.

[NightKnight]

Hmm, neither Fingolfin nor Feanor had a sister...

[Gil-Galad]

Finrod and galadriel?

[Finwe]

Ah, NightKnight, they didn't in The Silmarillion...

HINT: Look in The Shibboleth of Fëanor.

[NightKnight]

And what is that?

[Finwe]

Ok... it is one of the lesser known works of Tolkien. I believe it is found in the book, Peoples of Middle-earth (part of the HoME series). If you don't have it, or don't have access to it, try doing a Google search. Those always work. smilies/wink.gif

[NightKnight]

That might explain why I haven't heard of it. smilies/tongue.gif

[Firefoot]

After an extensive Google search, I think I have it. Is it Lalwende, sister of Fingolfin?

[Finwe]

Yes indeed it is.


Firefoot -- 1

2.) The Elf who challenged had a rather disputed youngest, who was noble to be sure. Name that youngest.

[Gil-Galad]

Fingon?

[Finwe]

Nope. You got the oldest. smilies/wink.gif

[Thorongil]

Turgon?

[Finwe]

Nope.


HINT: He's really disputed. So disputed in fact, that not many people even know that he exists, or that he's the youngest son.

[Elrond of Rivendell]

As Firefoot, I also needed an extensive Google search to come across Argon. May it be him that you are looking for? smilies/biggrin.gif

Greetings,
EfR

[Finwe]

Right you are!

Firefoot -- 1
Elrond of Rivendell -- 1


3) There is one, descended from the father of the one who challenged, who keeps changing from the grandson of the challenger to the grandnephew or great-grandnephew of the challenger. Name this star of Elvendom.

(rather easy one there)

[Thorongil]

Since you said star, could it be Earendil?

[The Saucepan Man]

Or Gil-Galad, perhaps? smilies/wink.gif

[Finwe]

As usual, Saucy is right!

Firefoot -- 1
Elrond of Rivendell -- 1
Saucepan Man -- 1


4) Brother of the challenger, sun-like not-oldest, father of heroes, my daughter married and her line united with Hope's line.

[Elrond of Rivendell]

Finarfin, father of Finrod and Galadriel?

[Finwe]

Right-o!

Firefoot -- 1
Elrond of Rivendell -- 2
Saucepan Man -- 1

Ok. Last question here, and only those with points can answer.

5) Part fire I am, mauled I have been, set free I have been, burned I have been. Which illustrious warrior am I?

[Gil-Galad]

well i have a guess at the awnser, but i can't anwser

[Finwe]

*bump* Come on! I'm sure that one of you guys knows the answer. Saucy, what happened to that devilishly sharp wit?

[Firefoot]

Could it be Sauron? I dunno, it's the only thing that comes to mind, but I'm not sure where burned fits in. Do you have a hint or something?

[Finwe]

I'll give you a hint:


HINT: He was left-handed.

[Fingolfin II]

Maedhros?

[Fingolfin II]

Oops! I broke the rules, sorry guys, forgot to read them stupid me. *Hits self over head*.

[The Perky Ent]

The days have gone donw in the west. I'm reviving this thread. Please read the rules before you post! There will be 5 Questions!


Question 1

I thought i would be the first, but i was hit with a sad blow when i heard the truth. Who am i?

[Firefoot]

Fëanor?

[The Perky Ent]

But of course!

Firefoot I



Question 2

My brother's were in the power of kings, yet my brother's left them for others. Who (what) am I?

(what) is foreshadowing!

[Fingolfin II]

The Easterlings?

[Fingolfin II]

Hey Perky, any confirmation? I think I'm probably wrong because of the second clue [(what) is foreshadowing!], but it'd be nice too know :).

[Fingolfin II]

I'll be asking 5 questions, of different types (i.e. riddles, straight questions, etc.). Anyone can answer the first four questions, but only those with points can answer the last one. The one who answers the last question correctly gets to set the next set of questions if they can correctly guess the theme.

I've been babbling for long enough; here's the first question-

1. Please tell me who is an Elven lore reteller of nice demeanour.

[Gil-Galad]

Elrond?

[NightKnight]

Rumil the Loremaster?

[Fingolfin II]

Gil-galad- 1

The first letter in each word of that sentence spelt 'Elrond' :).

2. Less loved than the Faithful Jewel; read into the minds of Men yet did not scorn them as fools.

[NightKnight]

Faramir?

[Fingolfin II]

Gil-galad- 1
NightKnight- 1

3. He was the most reluctant to leave,
To no home would he cleave.
Through water and fire
He befriended the halflings of the Shire.
Seemingly the weakest,
He united all the meekest,
And was the last to come,
Sent by the mightiest under the One.

[Gil-Galad]

good ol' Gandalf?

[Fingolfin II]

Gil-galad- 2
NightKnight- 1

4. A cat, a rabbit, an aardvark, an iguana, falcon, beaver, a Thorondor.

The order of these is correct, yet they should be taller. Arrange these properly, and use the letters to find the name of a famous traveller.

Good luck ;).

[Gil-Galad]

A cat, a rabbit, an aardvark, an iguana, falcon, beaver, a Thorondor.

charagoth? that wolf who ate the silmaril? can't spell sorry

[Fingolfin II]

Nope- arrange them in a suitable order, and see what's spelt. The animals have no relation to each other, it's the letters.

[Fingolfin II]

No one? I'll give you a major hint, just look below:

AZFXDOSLMYNPQARTS
RRFGSEDRTVUIFQMBNI
ASRXSDMNYUIOPEQTLI
NSDGGVBORDMSDMFTA
ASXQZERELRONSAOSDI
ASLDSESZAZCYAEIORS
WATUCISCCOOPNDSSF
FARNKISHZEITMAXERVI
HEYAMSUPGANDASTARI

Just arrange the hints in an appropriate manner and solve!

[Gil-Galad]

Odorf? i mean Frodo...heh

[Fingolfin II]

No, no, no; that was just a hint of how to arrange the clues. I put Frodo in there as an example- that find-a-word isn't the one which the answer is hidden in. The clues (i.e. an aardvark, etc.) form the find-a-word, and then you have to find this famous traveller. Please show me how you got the answer also when you get it :).

[wilwarin538]

I got it!!!! Its ARAGORN
I m not the best at bolding so its lopsided but I think you know what I mean

A A A A F B A
C R N N A E T
A A A I L A H

K R

[Gil-Galad]

i knew that... :rolleyes:

[Fingolfin II]

Gil-galad- 2
NightKnight- 1
wilwarin538- 1

Last question- only those with points may answer!

5. He gave up the 'prize' willingly, but not without persuasion.

[wilwarin538]

I dont know about you guys but I could use a hint.

[Gil-Galad]

Thingol gave Beren the hand of Luthien only if he could have a Silmaril?

[NightKnight]

Bilbo gave Frodo the "prize" of the riddle contest, the Ring, but only after Gandalf persuaded him.

[Fingolfin II]

Gil-galad- 2
NightKnight- 2
wilwarin538- 1

Now, NightKnight, can you tell me the common thread between these characters?

[NightKnight]

Hmm... Elrond, Faramir, Gandalf, Aragorn and Bilbo. They all withstood the temptation of the Ring/let it go?

[Fingolfin II]

Well I'm back from camp now, and while I was thinking that they were all loremasters, your answer is certainly correct so you're up.

[NightKnight]

Here we go: 5 questions, only those with points can answer the last one.

1. I kept the oath, and slew the wolf.

[Fingolfin II]

Finrod Felagund?

[NightKnight]

Yep.

Fingolfin - 1

2. The unaided Hornblower

[Firefoot]

Tobias Hornblower, the Hobbit who found pipeweed.

[NightKnight]

Nope. :smokin:

[Fingolfin II]

Ted Sandyman?

[The Perky Ent]

Boromir? He blew the Horn of Gondor, and no one helped him when he defended Merry and Pippin?

[NightKnight]

Perfect, Perks. :)

Fingolfin - 1
Perks - 1

3. Add -ng to get happyness, sorrow or love.

[Urwen]

My guess:
happiness,sorrow,love=feeling=feeli+ng
feeli=Fili

And my answer is Fili.
