Bravo! Mr Macc, if you'd added Thurin, the Secret given to him by Finduilas in Nargothrond I'd have blessed you! smilies/wink.gif

I knew I was forgetting one! smilies/rolleyes.gif

Easy one:
Which of Túrin's companions was killed on the way to fight Glaurung, and how?

I happen to be reading the chapter on Turin right now. The answer to your question is Gwindor.

I forgot to answer how he was killed. smilies/redface.gif

Gwindor was killed in a battle when Glaurung the Urolóki and the hosts of Morgoth was released.

What I was looking for was the one that died in the ravine before Túrin killed Glaurung.

Hunthor, "of the house of Haleth not the least valiant", was killed when a stone dislodged by Galurung struck him in the head.

That would be correct. The question goes to Agarwaen, son of Umarth. smilies/wink.gif

What service did Gethron and Grithnir perform for Turin?
Mat_Heathertoes

Despite their advancing years they guided Túrin over the pass of Amon Darthir, through the Vale of Sirion and the Forest of Brethil and onwards to Doriath where they remained for a time as his guardians until Grithnir died and then Gethron returned to Dor-Lómin
