odd item out

[Finwe]

Coats of mail because they are worn, not carried.

[Corwyn Celesil]

A bow is the only one made of wood, or not made of metal

[alquadae]

Some bows are made from dragon horn
coats of mail
swords
spears
bows
axes
harps
hint....
belt of pearls and crystal
gems
a belt crusted with scarlet stones
precious goblets

[Lindolirian]

Bows were the only ones not mentioned in Smaug's hoard.

[alquadae]

Thank you
Now i know what a dentist feels like
Your up smilies/smile.gif

[Lindolirian]

Well, you made it kinda easy there with that hint...

pot
pan
drinking vessel
beer mug

The first two are according to the movies. I'm not sure if that certain part is in the books or not.

[alquadae]

Sam did not carry a beer mug?

[Lindolirian]

Nope.

[alquadae]

Sat through PJ's "eye candy "twice, only thing I could come up with is that there were no pots in the Prancing Pony scene.
Time for a hint ?

[The Saucepan Man]

Well, I feel duty bound to try to answer a question about pots and pans. smilies/wink.gif

On the basis that Sam used either a pot or a pan as a weapon in the film (in the fight scene at Balin's tomb), I will hazard a guess that they were all used as weapons, except ... hmm ... the beer mug (didn't Turin throw a drnking vessel at Saeros?).

[Lindolirian]

That's it! I included the drinking vessel since that was Turin's weapon, and I assume that there were no beer mugs in Doriath, so that would be the difference. smilies/wink.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

Thanks, Lindol. smilies/smile.gif

Ale
Bacon
Bones
Books
Brass Buttons
Gold Coins
Swords

[peonydeepdelver]

Uh, bacon is yummy and eatable, and the others are not (or at least they shouldn't be...). Well, ale is technically drinkable, not edible...

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

The 'brass buttons' seem to hint at Hobbits, so I'll say bones -- Hobbits do not seem to have much interest in them. Either that or swords for the same reason (I said bones first because swords were of course used by some hobbits).

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

I will guess bones, because I believe, though I haven't checked, that they were one thing that Bilbo didn't wish he access to at any point on his travels.

Sophia

[The Saucepan Man]

No, no and no. smilies/evil.gif

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Perhaps brass buttons then, because Bilbo did not win them through his adventure (he got gold ones instead, you'll remember) although I can't remember 'bones' being in the list.

[ July 04, 2003: Message edited by: Gwaihir the Windlord ]

[alquadae]

No books in Roast Mutton

[Gil-Galad]

all those itmes were found in the Trolls cave except bacon or books

[The Saucepan Man]

Alquadae and Gil-Galad, the combination of your answers produces the correct answer. smilies/wink.gif

All those items are mentioned in Roast Mutton except books. But more specifically, they were all present in the Trolls' cave except books (which is what I was looking for). Bacon was one of the items of food that the company took from the cave to bolster their flagging supplies.

Either one of you may go next. smilies/smile.gif

[alquadae]

I yield

[Gil-Galad]

okay here i go

Silmarils
Eagle talons
Taunts
spear

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Taunts; the only thing that could not inflict actual physcial damage. Although I wouldn't personally classify it as an 'item'.

[Gil-Galad]

but they would have wrote it somewhere

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Taunts and eagle talons make me think of the Silmarillion, but also the Hobbit. Argh. I'll say Silmarils, because they weren't involved in the torture of Maedhros.(I think and hope. Otherwise I've made a complete fool of myself.)

[ July 06, 2003: Message edited by: Horse-Maiden of the Shire ]

[Gil-Galad]

nope sorry

[Lindolirian]

Morgoth was never hurt by a spear. He endured all the other kinds of "harmful items".

[alquadae]

I,ll give this a whirl
Silmarils are not sharp?

[Gil-Galad]

Lindolirian is correct! please do continue

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Very shrewd, lind.

[Lindolirian]

Pipe
Umbrella
Sword
Hat
Mirror
Bookcase

[Cinderella]

I'm going to say sword because it's not something that Bilbo left to someone when he departed the Shire...? (though I'm not sure where the hat comes in.... that my guess...)

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Hat, because it is the only thing that Bilbo didn't give away?

[Lindolirian]

Luthien has it.

[Cinderella]

AArrrghhh....so close... cheers to Luthien for beign a sharper knife than me!

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Sorry Cinderella, you were so close...
Vingilot
Guthwine
Herugrim
elanor
simbelmyne

[Gil-Galad]

Bilbo did give a sword away, Sting to Frodo

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

I believe she said that the hat was the only thing not given away, Gil-Galad smilies/smile.gif.

God I'm tired... too tired for a guess I'm afraid smilies/frown.gif

[Gil-Galad]

i know i meant cindrella seesh! she said that Bilbo didn't give a sword away!

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

She said that Bilbo didn't give a sword away when he departed the Shire.

Elanor, because it is the only thing to do with Lothlorien? All the others are Rohan-related, I believe.

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Horse-Maiden... sorry, but no. Only three of the items listed are Rohan-related. But now I know that the trap I set up worked! Ahaha! Evil, aren't I? smilies/evil.gif

[Venyatuima]

Is it Vingilot, because Vingilot was the only one of those to reach Aman?

[Eruanna]

Elanor is the only one which is the name of a person as well as a "thing"?

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Eruanna, you have a good reason but not the one I was looking for. Venyatuima got it. I guess it wasn't that hard after all!
smilies/biggrin.gif

[Venyatuima]

Righty-ho then smilies/wink.gif let's see ... hmmm ...

Galadriel
Celeborn
Elrond
Gil-Galad
Thranduil

It's not that hard smilies/smile.gif have fun!

[LePetitChoux]

Thranduil, the only one of them not to have dwelt in Valinor, begore or after the War of the Ring.

[The Saucepan Man]

Um, this is the "odd item out" game, so questions have to consist of groups of items (ie inanimate objects) so as to distiguish it from the other odd one out games (there is "odd man out", "out place out" and even "odd creature out").

Its an easy mistake to make if you don't know about the other threads, so don't worry. smilies/smile.gif

Venyatuima, please say if LePetitChoux is right, in which case she can carry on with an item-related question. If not, then I would suggest that you post a new question (item-related, of course). smilies/smile.gif You can then save your other question for the "odd man out" game. smilies/wink.gif

[Estanesse]

It seems Venyatuima is not going to answer and it is more then 10 days ago, so I will give a new question

Anduril
Silmaril
Dragon-helm of Dor-lómin
Gurthang
Nenya

[Evisse the Blue]

Well, the Silmarils were the ones that started a war...No, that's not my answer.
Is it Nenya, because all the others had more than one master, were used by more than one person, that is?

[ September 08, 2003: Message edited by: Evisse the Blue ]

[Estanesse]

Good guess but no

[alquadae]

The dragon helm did not shine ?

[Estanesse]

Nope.

[alquadae]

Nenya was the only thing not to come in direct contact with one of Morgoths lot?

[Cuthalion]

Anduril...the only item broken then re-made?

[Lyta_Underhill]

Gurthang, the only one that spoke?

[Estanesse]

Sorry Lyta Underhill Gurthang is right Item but for the wrong reason.

[Evisse the Blue]

Gurthang - the only one that turned against his master?

[Estanesse]

Nope sorry you’re not even close

[Gil-Galad]

Gurthang was the only one too be used aganest a dragon

[Estanesse]

That is true but it’s not what I had in mind.

Anduril
Silmaril
Dragon-helm of Dor-lómin
Gurthang
Nenya
Hint* Arkenstone

I hope this hint helps smilies/smile.gif

[Gil-Galad]

Gurthang didn't haev too be recovered?

[Estanesse]

Sorry, but no

Anduril
Hint* Thingol’s Silmaril
Dragon-helm of Dor-lómin
Gurthang
Nenya
Hint* Arkenstone

[Arestevana]

Well, Gurthang of course, because...er...it was not coveted by dwarves?

[Estanesse]

You are really close to the answer Arestevana

[Arestevana]

smilies/rolleyes.gif I think 'close' is the best I'm going to get. How about it was not (in some form) promised to a dwarf, or dwarves?

[Estanesse]

Nope that is not the answer. I will give another hint.

*Hint* Anduril or before it was reforged Narsil
Hint* Thingol’s Silmaril
Dragon-helm of Dor-lómin
Gurthang
Nenya
Hint* Arkenstone

[Estanesse]

*Hint* Anduril or before it was reforged Narsil
Hint* Thingol’s Silmaril
Dragon-helm of Dor-lómin
Hint * Gurthang is the odd item out
Nenya
Hint* Arkenstone

Hint: Dwarves

[Telchar]

Telch is confused!!! HELP!!!

[Gil-Galad]

Gurthang was made by an elf who was taught by the dwarves?

[Estanesse]

No but you are warm. The other items have one thing in common

*Hint* Anduril or before it was reforged Narsil
Hint* Thingol’s Silmaril
Dragon-helm of Dor-lómin
Hint * Gurthang is the odd item out
Nenya
Hint* Arkenstone

Hint: Dwarves
Hint: Nenya is made of mithril

[Arestevana]

This is a great quiz question. smilies/smile.gif

Is the answer connected to what the objects are made of?

[ October 20, 2003: Message edited by: Arestevana ]

[Telchar]

Gurthang was not made of a 'earthly' metal ?
That is somthing fallen from the sky?

Im grasping here... smilies/confused.gif

[Estanesse]

Is the answer connected to what the objects are made of?

Only Nenya is connected with the other objects because of what it is made of.

[Arestevana]

Anduril is the one driving me up the wall.
There are so many tricky little variations to this question. smilies/rolleyes.gif
Dwarves fought a battle over all but Gurthang?

[Estanesse]

Nope

[NightKnight]

All of them had mithril in them except for Gurthang?

[Estanesse]

Nope, the only Item of mithril is Nenya.

[ October 24, 2003: Message edited by: Estanesse ]

[The Saucepan Man]

OK, in an effort to resolve this impasse, I shall make a guess. smilies/tongue.gif

Dwarves had a hand in the making of all of them except Gurthang.

Anduril or before it was reforged Narsil: Narsil was forged by the Dwarf-smith (and renowned forum member smilies/wink.gif ) Telchar.
Thingol’s Silmaril: was fashioned into a necklace, the Nauglamir, by Dwarves.
Dragon-helm of Dor-lómin: was also made by Telchar, a Dwarf.
Nenya: was made of mithril which, presumably, was mined by Dwarves.
Arkenstone: was mined, and thereafter fashioned, by Dwarves.

Gurthang, on the other hand, was forged by the Elven-smith Eol, and no Dwarf had a hand in its making.

[Estanesse]

smilies/biggrin.gif Your turn Sauce

[The Saucepan Man]

Thank you, Estanesse. smilies/smile.gif

Axe
Helmet
Knife
Ring
Sword
Whip

[Finwe]

Helmet because all of the others are types of weapons, whereas a helmet can't really be used as a weapon (unless you're truly desperate!) and is a form of defensive armor.

[NightKnight]

Ring, because all others were used as weapons in the Battle of Gondolin.

[The Saucepan Man]

There is no correct answer yet.

Ring, because all others were used as weapons in the Battle of Gondolin.

No, but the battle of Gondolin is (partly) relevant ...

... a helmet can't really be used as a weapon (unless you're truly desperate!)

Hmm. smilies/evil.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

OK, time for a hint or two:

Axe
Helmet
Knife
Ring: The One Ring
Sword: Glamdring
Whip

[Finwe]

Ring because all of the others were used in the Fall of Gondolin at some point.

Axe --> Tuor's Axe
Helmet --> Ecthelion's Helmet (or Glorfindel's Helmet)
Knife --> The knife that Maeglin tried to kill Earendil with
Sword --> Glamdring, Turgon's sword
Whip --> Balrog whips

[ November 02, 2003: Message edited by: Finwe ]

[The Saucepan Man]

No, but you have the right Helmet and Whip.

Axe
Helmet: Ecthelion's Helmet
Knife
Ring: The One Ring
Sword: Glamdring
Whip: Balrog's Whip

[NightKnight]

Just to complete the list, I'll guess at Dramborleg as the axe, and Angrist as the knife.
No idea which the oio is though.

[The Saucepan Man]

No, those are not the items I was thinking of. In fact the knife is Wormtongue's knife and there's no specific axe.

All of which should really give it away ...

Axe: Any Axe
Helmet: Ecthelion's Helmet
Knife: Wormtongue's Knife
Ring: The One Ring
Sword: Glamdring
Whip: Balrog's Whip

[Finwe]

The Ring because:

1) It wasn't used to kill anyone.

or

2) It had no visible ornaments.

[Estanesse]

Axe because all other items are just as a weapon against a Maia or just as a weapon by a Maia.

[ November 07, 2003: Message edited by: Estanesse ]

[Finwe]

Wormtongue's a Maia????

[Estanesse]

nope but Saruman is

[Finwe]

Ah, right, forgive me!


Helmet because it was the only "weapon" not made or used by a Dark Lord or the Forces of Darkness.

[The Saucepan Man]

Estanesse is close enough. The answer is that they were all intrinsically involved in the death of a Maiar except the Axe.

Ecthelion's Helmet helped seal Gothmog's fate.
Wormtongue's Knife of course dealt a fatal blow to Saruman.
The destruction of the One Ring caused Sauron's demise.
Gandalf used Glamdring in vanquishing the Moria Balrog.
And the Balrog's Whip pulled Gandalf down to further combat, resulting in his death.

As far as I know, there is no reference to an Axe having been used to kill a Maiar.

Well done, Estanesse. Please continue. smilies/smile.gif

[Telchar]

As far as I remember, Tuor was said to have killed one or two Balrogs in the early development of the writing of The Fall of Gondolin, and he fought with an axe... but doesnt matter - was a good question. smilies/smile.gif

[Finwe]

(Just nitpicking here)

Also, in the early stages, one of the leaders of the Houses of Gondolin, named Rog, also wielded an Axe, along with most of his House. Who knows, between them and Tuor, they could have gotten a few Balrog chappies!

[Eowyn:Lady of Rohan]

Next question please!

[Estanesse]

Thank you Sauce smilies/smile.gif

Silmaril
Glamdring
Vilya
Gúthwinë
Gurthang

[Telchar]

Gúthwinë didnt shine ?

[Estanesse]

Yes that's true, but gurthang also (the black sword) didn’t.

[Telchar]

I guess this is really annoying, but I cant help it...

Estanesse:
Yes that's true, but gurthang also (the black sword) didn’t.

SILM:
The sword Anglachel was forged anew for him by cunning smiths of Nargothrond, and though ever black its edges shone with pale fire; and he named it Gurthang, Iron of Death.
Then Túrin sprang about, and strode against him, and the edges of Gurthang shone as with flame; but Glaurung withheld his blast,....

[Finwe]

Guthwine did not pass through Elven hands, or come into contact with Elves (Gurthang killed Beleg).

[Estanesse]

It is not the answer I’m looking for Finwe, but it has some similarity
I guess this is really annoying, but I cant help it...
It is smilies/wink.gifbut I can’t blame you for being right

[Telchar]

Guthwine is assigned to one person only?


Silmaril / Feanor, Thingol, Earendil ect
Glamdring / Turgon, Gandalf
Vilya / Gil-Galad, Elrond
Gúthwinë / Eomer!!!
Gurthang / Beleg, Turin

...or... Guthwine because the other had 'mates'

Silmaril / ...the two other Silmarils
Glamdring / Orchrist
Vilya / Nenya, Narya
Gúthwinë / NONE!!!
Gurthang / Anguirel

[ November 12, 2003: Message edited by: Telchar ]

[Finwe]

Guthwine was the only one that wasn't made by the Elves.

[ November 12, 2003: Message edited by: Finwe ]

[Estanesse]

Telchar’s first answer is,
Guthwine is assigned to one person only
Wrong but his explanation is almost correct.

Hint* delete some names and add a name.

Anyone?? It is not hard this question smilies/biggrin.gif
(Not to hard smilies/rolleyes.gif )

[NightKnight]

Put in Celebrimbor in the Vilya one?

[Estanesse]

Nope

[Usta Salque]

Guthwine because it is the only one who's owner wasn't slain in battle...

[Estanesse]

Nope but Gúthwinë is the odd item out

[ 2:11 PM December 02, 2003: Message edited by: Estanesse ]

[The Perky Ent]

I really enjoy O_Os and i think this one deserves to live!


********REVIVE********

And the OIO is:

Simarils
Arkenstone
Vilya
Sting
Frodo's mithril vest
ring of barahir

[Evisse the Blue]

Ring of Barahir - because there was no fight for its possession?

[NightKnight]

Arkenstone - not made by elves.

[The Perky Ent]

Nope! :D

[Bombadil]

hmmm

-Silmarils? wait wait! hear me out! only items not given as gifts at some point. see my reasoning

-the arkenstone was given to thorin oakenshield (well, his tomb) by bard
-vilya was given to Elrond from Gil-Galad
-Sting and the MIthril vest given to frodo from bilbo
-ring of barahir was a gift to barahir from finrod

now the silmarils, made by feanor, were never really given. only recovered through war. And even stolen by Maedhros and Maglor. so there!

[The Perky Ent]

Great Reasoning...but not the right answer! That was a good point, but not what i'm looking for! Sorry though

[NightKnight]

Sting didn't have any jewels on it.

Silmarils and Arkenstone - Duh...
Vilya had a sapphire, if I remember it rightly
The mithril vest had pearl and crystal in a belt
The Ring of Barahir had emeralds in it

[Fingolfin II]

The Silmarils- the location of these was not exactly known during the Third Age?

[Estanesse]

10 Day Rule!
I don’t mind that you want to revive this treat but the 10-day rule doesn’t apply. :rolleyes:

[The Perky Ent]

The 10 day rule doesn't apply???? The last post was on 12-02-2003 01:09 PM!! That's months apart!!!! The 10 day rule definitly applies!

[The Saucepan Man]

Technically, Estanesse is correct.

The Quiz Room rules state:


A thread may be considered stagnant if, after at least 10 days, no new question has been asked following confirmation of a correct answer, or no response has been given by the question setter to the last answer. In those circumstances, anyone may ask a new question on the topic.
Since the last post before the thread was revived was by the question-setter (Estanesse) and it was not confirming a correct answer, the rule does not technically apply.

However, you are right, Perky, in the sense that it should apply in these circumstances. I will amend the rules accordingly. :)

[luthien-elvenprincess]

THe Silmarils, as they were the only item made in Aman

[The Perky Ent]

True, but no

[Arvedui III]

Frodo's Mithril vest was the only item not to be handled by elves.

[Sirithheruwen]

Silmarils...all of the others were present in the 3rd Age - either in the Hobbit or LOTR.

[Mad Baggins]

The Ring of Barahir; it was the only item to be owned by Aragorn.

[Fingolfin II]

The Ring of Barahir- the only one owned by a man?

[The Perky Ent]

nope. Here's a hint, it has nothing to do with the people who made it.

[***Gandalf***]

sting, because it's the only one where we don't know who it's first owner was?

[alquadae]

#1
The Arkenstone because Frodo never looked upon it.
#2
The Arkenstone because it was the only thing not worn.???

[The Perky Ent]

and ***gandalf*** is correct! your turn!

[Gil-Galad]

i suggest that mr.gandalf starts a new thread due to the length of thsi one

[***Gandalf***]

right! here's the new one!

Nenya
Narya
Ring of barahir
Vilya


encredibly easy

[The Perky Ent]

Ring of Barahir, the only one not one of the three elvish rings?

[Gil-Galad]

perky if yoru right, start a new thread plz



Narya is only ring to be passed on to a maia, or nenya only ring with one bearer

[***Gandalf***]

Perky is right. And Gil-Galad, if the thread isn't 11 pages, why is there a need?

[Gil-Galad]

i don't want admin getting up tight, i'm just trying to make there job easier

[The Perky Ent]

right, but if i made another one, this one wouldn't be closed and there would be two

[Gil-Galad]

nah i can close it, i did start it...

[The Perky Ent]

in that case, close it and i'll make another!

[Gil-Galad]

righti-o!

[The Saucepan Man]

Hehe. I've got you guys so well trained. :D ;)

Strictly speaking, it isn't over the 10 page limit yet, but this seems as good a time as any to start a new thread as it soon will be. I'll close it now and then you can start a new one, Perky. Please remember to include the rules for the game in your first post.

Thanks. :)

[The Saucepan Man]

No new version of this game appears to have been opened up after this thread was closed. Since there is no longer any problem with thread length, I am re-opening it and bumping it up.

Anyone may ask a new question.

[The Perky Ent]

K! I'll start a new one!


The simarils
The Pial of Galadriel
Sting
Frodo's mithril vest


Have fun!

[Elwe Singollo]

OK then I'll go.

Valaromá
Ulmúri
Angainor
Boromir's Horn of Gondor

[NightKnight]

Hmm, two different have been started...
I know the answer to Elwe's question: Angainor was a chain, all the other ones were horns.

[The Perky Ent]

Sorry Elwe! First come first serve ;)

[Elwe Singollo]

Ok then looks like I spent to long finding a question. I'll say....they all have their own light source. Sting Glowed and the Phial of Galadriel and the Silmarils obviously shone.
NightKnight was right though.

[The Perky Ent]

...so your answer is Frodo's mithril vest? Nope, try again :)

[Sirithheruwen]

All but the Silmarils were possesed by Frodo at the time to the War of the Ring?

[The Perky Ent]

close, but no

[Sirithheruwen]

I came up with a stupid answer, and tried to delete this post, but it didn't work. Hold on while I think of something else...

EDIT (to save bandwidth...I know, Saucie would be so proud! ;) ): K, got something: Frodo's mithril vest was the only one that didn't hurt the "bad guy". The Silmaril burnt Morgoth and Ungoliant (Right??? Sorry, it's been so long! *sheepish grin*), Sting, well, obviously, and the Phial burnt Shelob's eyes.

P.S. Sorry to keep you waiting Perky!

[The Perky Ent]

Alrighty! I've got all the time in the world :) :\ :| :/ :( Not really, but you get the point!

EDIT - Nope, still off. It's not what it did and think about your previous post.

[Sirithheruwen]

All but the Silmarils were used to aid the Ringbearer, and without said objects, he wouldn't have succeeded?

[Fingolfin II]

The Silmarils were the only ones not given to Frodo as a gift?

[NightKnight]

All except the Silmarils where owned by Frodo? Nah, too easy... All except the Silmarils were given as gifts?

[Bombadil]

How about...

All but the silmarils saved frodo from getting killed?

[The Perky Ent]

Nope. My thing is kinda corny, so keep that in mind.



EDIT: THIS IS MY 1,001th POST! YAY

[NightKnight]

Mithril vest - never owned by elves, only dwarves, dragon and hobbits.

[The Perky Ent]

right answer, wrong reason

[NightKnight]

The Silmarils were never owned by hobbits?

[The Perky Ent]

In my last post, I said right answer, wrong reason. As in, it's the mithril, but you've got the wrong reason!

[NightKnight]

Oh, silly me. I'll just blame it on my tiredness. It was 2 am when I posted that. ;)

Mithril Vest because...it wasn't used as a weapon?

[The Perky Ent]

snope!

[Son of Númenor]

Frodo's mithril vest is the only one of the the four that does not glow or emit light.

[The Perky Ent]

nithagope (nope)

[Carnimírië]

The mithril coat is the only garment?

[The Perky Ent]

nope, and welcome to the downs!

[Fingolfin II]

The mithril vest is the only one not made by Elves?

[The Perky Ent]

no sir, and, or, ma'am

[Fingolfin II]

I'm a guy :).....how about something obvious- was it the mithril vest because it was the only one made out of mithril?

[The Perky Ent]

No. but it's cheezy like that ;)

[NightKnight]

Mithril Vest - Because we know what material it was made of?

[The Perky Ent]

not the vest. And the phial of Galadriel was made out of glass. At least I think so. I'm no expert...

[wilwarin538]

the mithril coat was the only one that was a gift??

[The Perky Ent]

not the vest as in not the mithril coat!

[wilwarin538]

Im confused earlier u said it was the mithril vest and now its not??

[The Saucepan Man]

I share wilwarin538's confusion, Perky, as you posted a bit earlier:


In my last post, I said right answer, wrong reason. As in, it's the mithril, but you've got the wrong reason!I think that some clarification is in order, and perhaps a hint too.

[The Perky Ent]

Woah now! i've found the problem. I had one stray post that I must have posted in insanity, but, the answer is, It's not the vest I was refering to the simarils.

[Bombadil]

Silmarils- only thing made out of unknown material?

[Mithalwen]

Silmarils - made of Silima,,;)
And the Mithril coat was made by the dwarves for an Elven princeling...... hmmm

but I my be being thick but was it the Silmarills or the Mithril mail in the end....

Aaaiiiieeeeeeee *disappears in puff of confusion*

[wilwarin538]

silmarils cause there the only ones who have an intirebook about them? I think this might be a longshot.

[Bombadil]

I thought they said in the Sil that it was unknown what the silmarils were made of, and the only one who did was Fëanor?

[Fingolfin II]

The Silmarils- only ones where a war(s) was waged for?

Bombadil, the Silmarils were made of Silima like Mithalwen said, but you're right in that no-one actually knows what Silima itself is.

[The Perky Ent]

So far, no. But I'll give you a hint. Think Geography.

[Mithalwen]

If the Silmarils are the O>O>O ... then because they were the only things made in the undying lands? Seems too simple........

[The Perky Ent]

Here's a major hint: It's not where it is, it's where it isn't! That was a big hint. But then, you needed it ;)Mithalwen - No, but keep thinking outside the box ;)

[Sirithheruwen]

All but the Silmarils passed over to Valinor with members of the War of the Ring? (I'm not sure about this one, it's just a wild shot in the dark.)

[The Perky Ent]

Yeah, it is a wild shot. The facts are wrong. So, no.

[Mithalwen]

Probably more confused than ever now......... hmmm...no...nothing yet aaargh.... keep on thinking it is significant that the Phial contains the light of Earendil ie a silmaril.... but it is probably a red herring..

[The Perky Ent]

it is. Anyways, your wrongEveryone! reread posts i've posted in this thread. It makes the way to find it very clear.

[Mithalwen]

Huh .. well I am still confused as to wether the right answer was the Silmarils or the mithril mail.... but since recent posts seem to have settled for the Jewels .....and geography was a clue.... and where things are not...... Silmarils because they never went to the Shire........

[The Perky Ent]

No, but now you've got it. Just ask yourself, it was the simaril's because they weren't in (blank)

[Bombadil]

Silmarils weren't in Mordor?

[The Perky Ent]

YES! YOU GOT IT! your turn!

[Bombadil]

How about a Lord of The Rings one!


- The One Ring
- Lembas Bread
- Elven Rope
- Gandalf's stone on Weathertop
- Sting

[NightKnight]

Gandalf's stone - never touched by Gollum?

[Bombadil]

Haha! That was very short. Great job NightKnight :)

[NightKnight]

Hehe. Unfortunately, I'm going away again, so I declare this thread open. :p

[Mad Baggins]

Me! Haven't been here for a while, but let's give it a shot.

Narsil
Sting
Glamdring
Anduril

[Gil-Galad]

Anduril is only sword that has Dwarvish and Elven smithing into it, or that it was only sword to be remade/used by man

[The Perky Ent]

Narsil was the only one that was broken.

[Mad Baggins]

Gil-Galad has it.

[Gil-Galad]

goody....you mean me right? cause perky took my old avatar and people getting confused


Slender Bows of the Teleri
Green clothe of the Nandor
Silver mail of the Gondolithim
Iron blades of the Orcs


its both easy and hard

[The Perky Ent]

The Iron blades of the orcs is the only one used by orcS?

[Gil-Galad]

nope! i gotta remember the anwser to this now...

[The Perky Ent]

The green cloth is the only one that can't be used as a weapon or shield.

[Gil-Galad]

nope! Hint: its how these items were used, and in the manner/prediciemnt they were used as

[The Perky Ent]

The Iron blades were the only ones that weren't stolen by hobbits?

[Gil-Galad]

never knew the hobbits stoel gondolins mail, or teleri's bows...nope!

[The Perky Ent]

Yeah, they're nasty little theifs! Anyways, ummm, the orc swords are the only ones that were made during the third age?

[Gil-Galad]

Hint: it has nothing to deal with the third age..or the second for that matter

your wrong cause teleri bows would still be made across the sea

[The Perky Ent]

Well, would they really? I mean, when you're seperated from the rest of the world, and you live in a pure place, is there any need? I guess if they wanted to practice archery. When you have all eternity, there's a lot to do ;)

[Gil-Galad]

Hint: nothing to do with orcs

[Tuor of Gondolin]

Slender Bows of the Teleri?

The other three are the primary means of protecting that group
Green clothe of the Nandor---hiding
Silver mail of the Gondolithim---armor
Iron blades of the Orcs---weapons as used defensively (to parry thrusts)

Whereas bows are more offensively oriented weapons.

[Gil-Galad]

close but no

[NightKnight]

The orc-blades weren't used in defense.

Silver Mail of Gondolin - Obvious
Green clothing - Hiding
Bows - The Teleri used them against the Noldor in Alqualonde

[Gil-Galad]

nope...think of the what the people used them againest

[NightKnight]

Then the Silver Mail is the OIO, because all the others were used against the Noldor.
