I'm sure we can think of lots of questions concerning Gollum! <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

About how old was Gollum when he found the ring. (It's OK to look this one up. I'd be amazed if many people know this right away)

I don't think it actually says anywhere in the book how old he was, but you can figure that out when you know when he got the ring, and when he was born.

Here's the hint: In about 2463 Gollum got the ring.

Okay I got it. Gollum was born in 2430. That means if he found the Ring in 2463, he was 33 years old.

The first time was when he was having his Smeagol/Gollum debate near the Morannon, and the second one was when Sam called him a sneak on the stairs of Cirith Ungol.

I guess its a typo - the year is TA 3018 or SR 1418 - as the difference between the Gondor and Shire calender is excactly 1600 years.

[ElentariGreenleaf]

YAY! GOLLUM! I'll post seeing as this hasnb't been posted on for sooooooooo long!

Why does Gollum feel betrayed by Frodo? (where aswell <---- hint)

[LePetitChoux]

He thinks that Frodo betrayed him at the Forbidden pool because he (massster) promised to not hurt him, and then Faramir's men went and grabbed him, which was mean. smilies/smile.gif

[ElentariGreenleaf]

Yup. Your turn! I think I made that too easy.

[ElentariGreenleaf]

LePetitChoux, it's your turn! (please post score too!)

[LePetitChoux]

I can't think of one, so I'll declare the turn open to the floor.

[Pallando B.C]

Since the floor is open.....

What irritated Gollum whilst in the Misty Mountains, and what did he do to cease it?

[ElentariGreenleaf]

Um, being alone? And he stopped it by having a slipt personality? Man, that's sooo much harder than mine *sits in corner a sulks, and starts extending "s"'s when spoken* We'll getsss the anssswer, yesssss....

[Pallando B.C]

No sorry, that's incorrect.

[Beren87]

Well...I would assume hunger to be an irritation, which he solved by hunting some goblins with the ring. No idea though, I went through ever section in The Hobbit concerning Gollum, a hint perhaps?

[Pallando B.C]

Both good guess, but both wrong.
Your right though Beren, It is said in the Hobbit (or other writings concerning Bilbo's adventure). Ok, this is the only contructive hint I can give ye!

Something to do with the ring.

[Dain B.C]

The voices in his head?

[Pallando B.C]

No, bad luck Dain.

Welcome to the Downs.

[hobbitlass]

Gollum wore the ring till it tired him. Then he wore it in a pouch next to his skin till it galled him. Then he hid it in a hole in the rock. But he always went back to look at it.

[Pallando B.C]

Well done, hobbitlass. You may go and don't forget your commitments to the thread What Doesn't Belong (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=5&t=000249&p=4)

[hobbitlass]

Thanks for the reminder on the other thread, Pallando B.C.

What do the orcs of Cirith Ungol call Gollum?

[Entmoot]

The orcs of cirith ungol call gollum her Sneak i think.

[hobbitlass]

You think correctly, your turn.

[Entmoot]

What was Gollum doing in the chapter 'The Great River', what was he described as?

[Pallando B.C]

Gollum was following the Fellowship on the river Anduin. He was described as a dark, log-shaped object with lamp-lit eyes.

[Entmoot]

That is correct Pallando

[Pallando B.C]

Upon Mount Doom, what did Gollum refer himself to if he were to die?

[Entmoot]

Die into dust - is what Gollum referred himself to upon Mount Doom.

[Pallando B.C]

Proceed.

[Entmoot]

What was Gollum's first verbal action in Lord Of The Rings? In other words when did he first speak or make a noice out loud at that moment in the story. (not a reference)

[hobbitlass]

'Ach, sss! Cautious, my precious! More haste less speed...' -Taming of Smeagol

[alaklondewen]

He hissed when the Company was camping on the shore of the Anduin. Frodo was on watch that night. Gollum reached out of the water, and Frodo saw his eyes and heard a hiss.

[Entmoot]

Well Done alaklondewen!! Sorry hobbitlass that was the trick in the question. 'verbal action'
Please continue

[alaklondewen]

What year did Gollum's life change dramatically with the meeting of Bilbo Baggins?

[hobbitlass]

Third age, year 2941.

Don't be sorry, Entmoot, I had forgotten that he had hissed at the company.

[alaklondewen]

Good job! You're up, Hobbitlass!

[hobbitlass]

'Yessss master of the ring, we helps it to get across. Good Smeagol knows way. Trust Smeagol, nice hobbiteses.'
What would Sam call Gollum when he acted this way?

[TolkienGurl]

Slinker, we guesses.

[hobbitlass]

We guesses right. you goes...

[TolkienGurl]

Name five things/people that Gollum hates.

[ January 31, 2003: Message edited by: TolkienGurl ]

The Moon

Himself
Bilbo

[TolkienGurl]

Yesss, precious.

[alaklondewen]

Why did Aragorn say that Gollum would never love him? What did Gollum do to him?

[alaklondewen]

Hmm...do you really need a hint?

[hobbitlass]

I don't, my computer has been acting up and I couldn't post sooner.

Aragorn said that he stank! Ha-Ha
Actually Gollum bit Aragorn and he in return was not gentle.

[alaklondewen]

Great! I didn't think it was a difficult question. You are up! smilies/smile.gif

[Aredhelaran]

Cain

[hobbitlass]

Along the same line as Entmoot's question...
What was the first thing that Gollum said in The Hobbit?

[Hirilaelin]

Is this it?
"Bless us and splash us, my precioussss! I guess it's a choice feast; at least a tasty morsal it'd make us, gollum!"


Suilad,

~Eruanne

[hobbitlass]

Yep, your go.

[Hirilaelin]

Really? I got it? Cool... So, any Gollum question huh? Let me think... Hold on a sec, digging a copy of the Hobbit out... Ah!

(Might not be very good, not great at this sort of thing...) What was the riddle that almost stumped Gollum? Not the pocket one mind you, he didn't get that. He got this one, just took him a bit, and was "a nasty poser."

Sorry if this question has been asked before, and if it has, tell me and I'll do a different one. Happy guessing!

[alaklondewen]

Thank you.

How did Smeagol escape from the Wood Elves?

[Hirilaelin]

Think I've got it... "In days of fair weather we led Gollum throught the woods; and there was a high tree standing alone far from the others which he liked to climb. Often we let him mount up to the highest branches, until he felt the free wind; but we set a guard at the tree's foot. One day he refused to come down, and the guards had no mind to climb after him: he had learned the trick of clinging to boughs with his feet as well as his hands; so they sat by the tree far into the night.

It was that very night of summer, yet moonless and starless, that Orcs came on us unawares. We drove them off after some time; they were many and fierce, but they came from over the mountains, and were unused to the woods. When the battle was over, we found that Gollum was gone, and his guards were slain or taken. It then seemed plain to us that the attack had been made for his rescue, and that he knew of it beforehand." (Legolas, Council of Elrond)

Suilad,

Eruanne

[ February 08, 2003: Message edited by: Hirilaelin ]

[alaklondewen]

Yes, absolutely correct! You also get a Bozo button and a snowcone for giving the exact passage! smilies/wink.gif

[Hirilaelin]

Oh, thank you, thank you! *bows and gladly accepts button and snowcone*

All righty then, let me think... i need a hard one this time... *digs for copies of Hobbit and LotR*

How long did Gollum dwell under the Misty Mountains until Bilbo met him? Hope this question is okay.

Suilad,

~Eruanne

[lathspell]

Gollum got into the Misty Mountains in the year 2470. Bilbo found the Ring and met Gollum in the year 2941. That makes that Gollum had lived in the Mountains for a period of 471 years.

[Hirilaelin]

Good job! (I admit that I did't quite know myself...) Your go!

[ElentariGreenleaf]

Wow, I didn't realise you were keeping tis going! I dug this up from a deeeeeeeeep deeeeeeeep grave a while back! HURRY UP AND POST A QUESSSSTION PRESSSSSSSIOUSSSSS!!!

~elentari I the insane or otherwise indigestable

[lathspell]

To whom did Gollum say that they were so very just?

[Hirilaelin]

Um, the elves? No, Faramir's men? Must think about this...

[lathspell]

ou already said it, Hirilaelin.
Faramir's men is correct.

[Hirilaelin]

Yay! I got another one! Let me think, looking through the books... Hold on... *dramatic pause*

How was Gollum described by Boromir? (Brutally easy I'm afraid.) If you need a hint, I'll try to say it in a different way.

[Hirilaelin]

Come on people! This thread is getting stagnant!

Hiri smilies/smile.gif

[Beren87]

Instead of doing that, why don't you answer a question? All your doing is spamming.

[Hirilaelin]

It's my question Beren.

Hiri

[Beren87]

I realise this, but you did that same thing on three threads. Your question will be answered in time, it was only two days. Instead give a hint or such to aid in the answering of your question.

Boromir asked about Gollum in the following way, I don't think they ever met.

"He is a small thing, you say, this Gollum? Small, but great in mischief. What became of him? To what doom did you put him?"

[Hirilaelin]

All right, I apologize. Please don't hold it against me. But yes, that is what I meant, it is now your go.

Hiri

[Beren87]

Of course I wouldn't hold it against you, just a friendly reminder. And good question! It took me a bit to find as I knew Boromir never met Gollum, but I didn't think to look for him describing Gollum in a question.

Of what Hobbit strain was Gollum?

[alaklondewen]

I believe he was of Stoorish blood.

[ElentariGreenleaf]

Hay, how on eath do you know that?!??!?

[lathspell]

ElentariGreenleaf: Gandalf tells Frodo in 'the Shadow of the Past' that he thinks Gollum was once Hobbitish. I do not have the actual quote but he says something like this:
'I believe he was not so far from Hobbits once, akin to the fathers of the fathers of Stoors maybe.'

greetings,
lathspell

[Hirilaelin]

Good job alaklondawen! I was personally stumped on that one.

Thank you Beren!

Hiri

[Beren87]

O'course, *tips hat*

[alaklondewen]

Thank you.

What did Gollum say he tried in the Dead Marshes that made Sam shudder?

[Hirilaelin]

That he had tried to reach them once? (The faces) Sorry, I don't have the exact quote, am not at home.

Hiri

[alaklondewen]

You're right! The thought of it makes me shudder, too.

[Hirilaelin]

What were the two "halves" of Gollum called, and by whom? Very easy, I'm not feeling creative.

Hiri

[Beren87]

Slinker and Stinker, made up by Sam.

[Hirilaelin]

Correct Beren, your question!

Hiri, a.k.a Narwen

[Beren87]

Where was Gollum near? (i.e. what was the Stoor settlement near?)

[alaklondewen]

They lived on the banks of the Anduin, and, of course, near the Gladden Fields, for that is where Smeagol found the Ring.

[ February 16, 2003: Message edited by: alaklondewen ]

[Hirilaelin]

alaklondawen? Are you there? Should we post the next question?

[alaklondewen]

It has only been four days, and Beren87 has yet to confirm my answer.

[Hirilaelin]

Sorry again. I'm too impatient. Just forget my post, please.

[Beren87]

Sorry 'bout that all, I've been rather ill.

Correct alak!

[alaklondewen]

Great. It's good to have you back, Beren87.

What is Gollum's original, untranslated name?

[Beren87]

Bah, call me Beren. smilies/cool.gif

Since Smeagol is mannish for Trahald whcih means burrowing in, I guess that's what you want. So, my answer is Trahald.

[alaklondewen]

That is exactly what I was looking for. You're up.

[Beren87]

Who gave him the name Gollum?

[Eressië Ailin]

It is not to be wondered at that he became very unpopular and was shunned (when visible) by all his relations. They kicked him, and he bit their feet. He took to theiving, and going about muttering to himself, and gurgling in his throat. So they called him Gollum...

Sooo... his relatives?

I couldn't find anything more specific.

[The Daughter of Gollum and Shelob]

Gollum was 33 years old, the age of hobbits 'Coming of Age' when he found the Ring. smilies/rolleyes.gif

[ElentariGreenleaf]

So, who's go is it?....

[alaklondewen]

I believe it has officially been ten days.

What was Gollum's last word(s)?

[lathspell]

'Precious, precious, precious!' Gollum cried. 'My Precious! O my Precious!'
Great variety of words in his last sentence smilies/wink.gif
Oh, and ofcourse he cried PREEEECCIOOOUUUSS one more time when he fell into the cracks of doom.

greetings,
lathspell

[alaklondewen]

You're right! He didn't provide any deep-seated wisdom that should be passed down through the generations. smilies/wink.gif

Your go.

[lathspell]

How many times was Gollum captured in life?

[ElentariGreenleaf]

Um, four?

[lathspell]

I'm sorry... please name the ones who captured him (I know it was not in the question, but it's a bit hard to control the answer otherwise)

[Annunfuiniel]

I recall five times: Sauron's servants (Ringwraiths? can't remember), Aragorn, Frodo and Sam (twice, I think; Gollum tried to escape but they caught him again) and Faramir's soldiers.

[lathspell]

I give it to you Annunfuiniel... though I do not recall Gollum trying to escape.

So, what names did Gollum use for the moon and the sun?

P.S. Gollum tried to escape soon after Frodo and Sam caught him the first time; they were testing him by pretending they were sleeping and Gollum tried to flee (but didn't really get far).

[lathspell]

ah yes, Annunfuiniel, I remember now. Thanks!

he called them the 'White Face' and the 'Yellow Face'.

greetings,
lathspell

[Annunfuiniel]

Of course you're right! smilies/smile.gif So, your turn again, lathspell, make it a tricky one! smilies/wink.gif

[lathspell]

tricksssy...
well, this ain't to hard, I think.

In how many chapters does Gollum appear (being named and all)?

good luck,
lathspell

[Hirilaelin]

Umm... Would it be ten times?

[Annunfuiniel]

I'd say 15 but it's mainly a guess.

[lathspell]

You guess rightly, Annunfuiniel smilies/biggrin.gif

You have luck as well as wits smilies/wink.gif

Please proceed,
lathspell

[Annunfuiniel]

Oh thank you for your kind words, lathspell! smilies/biggrin.gif
Now, tell me what lines Gollum recited both in the Hobbit and in LoTR?
And noooope, I don't mean "Precioussss!" or anything like that! smilies/smile.gif

[ElentariGreenleaf]

Um, "Stupid Hobbitssssss"?

[Annunfuiniel]

Nope. Something more specific...

[lathspell]

Maybe this is more or less right.

'Where iss it, where iss it: my Precious, my Precious? It's ours, it is, and we wants it. The thieves, the filthy little thieves. Where are they with the Precious? Curse them! We hates them.'

From - The taming of Smeagol - page 599

[Annunfuiniel]

Nope, not that either. It is something that he says word for word in both books but in LoTR it's part of a longer line.

[Malva Headstrong]

I think, I have it! That fish-riddle: Alive without breath, as cold as death, never thirsty, ever drinking, clad in mail, never clinking.

[lathspell]

I think you've hit the Bull'S Eye with that, Malva

[Annunfuiniel]

Yep, bull's-eye it is, as lathspell so aptly put it. smilies/biggrin.gif
Good job Malva, please carry on. smilies/smile.gif

[Malva Headstrong]

The one-eyed bull will continue smilies/wink.gif
Ok then, say three persons who were bitten by Gollum.

[The Saucepan Man]

Sam, Aragorn and Frodo.

[Malva Headstrong]

Right! Your turn.

[The Saucepan Man]

Thanks, Malva.

OK, on a slightly different tack:

Who provided the voice for Gollum in the Bakshi cartoon film of LotR?

[Salix]

That would be Peter Woodthorpe.

[The Saucepan Man]

I always thought that it was Alfie Bass for some reason ...

... but having checked the cast list, you are correct Salix. smilies/smile.gif

[Hirilaelin]

It's been a bit, do you think we need another question?

[Beren87]

It's been 10 days since Salix has been seen. So, I would say yes, a new question is in order.

[Lomadia]

Alright, it's an easy one, but let's hope it'll get the ball rolling:
How did Smeagol kill Deagol?

[alaklondewen]

Strangulation.

[lathspell]

Yes, in opposite to Bilbo he grabbed first and whispered afterwards when with Deagol smilies/wink.gif

[Hirilaelin]

alaklondawen? Are you there?

[alaklondewen]

I apologize, I seemed to have forgotten it was my turn. Thank you, Hirilaelin.

Why did Smeagol leave his family?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

His grandmother banished him, I think... or at least he was exiled in some way.

[ March 27, 2003: Message edited by: Sophia the Thunder Mistress ]

[alaklondewen]

That's right! I think Gandalf said she wished for peace. The board is yours.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

How many teeth does Gollum have when he meets Bilbo?

[Beren87]

We only has six my precious!

[lathspell]

Chestnuts, chestnuts! smilies/wink.gif

*from the same chapter smilies/biggrin.gif

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Indeed! smilies/tongue.gif continue...

[Hirilaelin]

lathspell, your go!

[Beren87]

Erm..who's turn is it Sophia?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Hmmm... yours beren... smilies/smile.gif sorry about the confusion... I'd forgotten.

Sophia

[Beren87]

Just thought I'd ask to make sure. smilies/wink.gif

What type of things did Gollum pathologically fear?

[alaklondewen]

Hmm...Do you mean the sun and moon, or maybe anything Elvish? I'm not sure.

[Beren87]

Well, it says exactly what he fears, but you guessed it. All things elven!

[alaklondewen]

Thanks, Beren. I forgot I answered on this thread.

Sam threatened Gollum on Mount Doom. What did he threaten him with?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Go away! Be off! I don't trust you, not as far as I could kick you; but be off. Or I shall hurt you, yes, with nasty cruel steel. VI.iii

[alaklondewen]

You are correct, and thank you for giving the quote. I was afraid someone would just say 'sword', and I wanted 'nasty cruel steel'. Good job...the board is yours. smilies/smile.gif

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

What did Gollum do in the villages of the Beornings?

[lathspell]

After the escape from Mirkwood there ran a rumour through Mirkwood that there was a monster loose that stole children from their cradles.

Is that what you mean?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

That was... *grimaces* apologies for my slight inaccuracies... I'm Hobbit-book-less for the moment smilies/frown.gif

Sophia

[lathspell]

Good!
Here is the new one:

of whom is it said that they pitied Gollum? (please gimme the quotes if you can to backup the answer)

greetings,
lathspell

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Bilbo
"Pity! It was pity that stayed his hand. Pity, and mercy: not to strike without need." I.ii

Sophia

[lathspell]

Ai! Yeah, you gave me the right answer. So it is your turn, Sophia.

I wanted to ask for all the people of whom this is said, but the question wasn't asked rightly :S

lathspell

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Faramir asks Frodo if Gollum is a kind of animal. What two animals does he think it might be?

Sophia

[alaklondewen]

Faramir thinks he is either a squirrel or a king-fisher.

[elven maiden Earwen]

squirel or kingfisher

dang to late

[ April 16, 2003: Message edited by: elven maiden Earwen ]

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

perfect, Alaklondewen... your turn.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Alaklondewen? *bump*

*Shaking head* Geez, my five hundredth post was a "bump" talk about momentous smilies/tongue.gif

Sophia

[ April 25, 2003: Message edited by: Sophia the Thunder Mistress ]

[alaklondewen]

I'm so sorry, Sophia, but congrats anyway on becoming a Ghost Prince. smilies/smile.gif

Describe the sound Gollum makes when he cries.

[Eruanna]

Suddenly Gollum sat down and began to weep, a whistling and gurgling sound horrible to listen to.

smilies/smile.gif

[alaklondewen]

Kind of a disgusting, yet pitiful, sound, yes? Your turn... smilies/smile.gif

[Eruanna]

I always feel so sorry for Gollum. smilies/frown.gif

My question is:
What, apart from Orcs, did Gollum say Frodo would find in Mordor?

[Airehiriel]

I'm just throwing out a guess here, but sometimes I've gotten lucky...was it death?
Awww, that doesn't sound right, but I'll keep it anyway, just in case.

[Eruanna]

Good guess, but no. He mentioned some very specific things. smilies/smile.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

Ashes, ashes, and dust, and thirst there is; and pits, pits, pits, and Orcs, thousands of Orcses. Nice hobbits musn't go to - sss - those places.

So, some ash, some dust, thirst and loads of pits, pits, pits, plus the orcses of course, my preciousss. smilies/wink.gif

Edit: To correct typos.

[ April 28, 2003: Message edited by: The Saucepan Man ]

[Airehiriel]

Well, thirst would eventually lead to death... smilies/smile.gif kidding.

I need to have my book beside me at all times, as it seems Saucepan Man does! Good job!

[Eruanna]

Exactly right Saucepanssss! smilies/smile.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

What did the Woodmen believe Gollum to be?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

The Woodmen said that there was some new terror abroad, a ghost that drank blood.

nasty creature.

Sophia

[The Saucepan Man]

Indeed. You are correct, Sophia. smilies/smile.gif

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Approximately (fairly rough estimations accepted) how many years passed between when Isildur lost the ring and Gollum found it?

[Airehiriel]

2,500 years?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

hm... *pondering* little less approximate please...

[Anything but Arwen]

2,453....

Mind you, I did look in the Tale of Years...

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

smilies/tongue.gif ok... I should have taken it the first time, then... *blushes* I had done the math wrong (why does this seem to be a habit with me?)

[Wolf Larson]

9 Days we have waited for your question. I will try one then.

In Bilbo's first story he told of finding the ring what was the answer to Gollum's riddle "This thing all things devours"?
