The Battle of Greenfields and the Scouring of the Shire

The Scouring of the Shire wasn't really a battle. There is a more specific battle mentioned.

How many Sherriffs were employed in the Shire?
NightKnight

I believe there were normally 12, three in each farthing, but during Sharkey's rule there were many more.

Correct!

Who was the oldest hobbit to live, without "cheating"?
Kath

Would that be the Old Took then?
NightKnight

It would indeed.

Woohoo!
OK then, which hobbit did Elrond want to send home.
Sirithheruwen
04-30-2004, 02:32 PM
Pippin, because he was small. :)
Kath
04-30-2004, 02:48 PM
Of course.
Your turn!

Incredibly easy, but I can't think of anything good at the moment:

Why did Frodo leave the last pages of his book blank?
luthien-elvenprincess
05-05-2004, 04:26 PM
he left them empty for Sam to continue with the writings.
Sirithheruwen
05-05-2004, 06:24 PM
Yup! :)

Hate to see a hobbit thread die. Thought I would kick this thread up with a new question.....

Who were "Grubb, Grubb, and Burrowes"?
Firefoot

The auctioners who were selling Bilbo's stuff.

Precisely.....

The floor is yours.

Brown and curly?
Firefoot

Perfect.

OOPS!

What did Balin ask Bilbo to get him at the "Unexpected Party"?

I'm going on vacation tomorrow. :( The next person to reach this thread gets to ask the next question...let the race...BEGIN!
luthien-elvenprincess

Balin asked for beer instead of tea and seed-cake.

Well...since I'm pretty sure that is the correct answer and Sirithheruwen said the next here gets to post...here is the next question.

Who built the Carrock and why?

Beorn built the steps but I cant seem to find why...um...maybe to have a good view of the Misty Mountains??
Kath
06-30-2004, 03:04 PM
Beorn built it but the only thing I can find as to why is this quote:
'i once saw him sitting all alone on the top of the carrack at night watching the moon sinking towards the misty mountains and i heard him growl in the tongue of bears "the day will come when they will perish and i shall go back"'
So I'm guessing it's so he can remember his old home.

Oh rot...I can see that I asked the question poorly. I should have asked who built the Carrock and why did he call it the Carrock. My bad.
The answer I was looking for was Gandalf's answer to Bilbo's question:

He called it the Carrock, because carrock is his word for it. He calls things like that carrocks, and this one is the Carrock because it is the only one near his home, and he knows it well.

Beorn is, of course, the one who built it and is the one of whom Gandalf is speaking in the above quote.

So...since Beorn is the only part of my question that one could possibly get right, I will say that wilwarin538 is correct because (s)he posted first.

My apologies for the poor question. :(
