Name the event

[One Axe to Rule them All]

Somebody names a place, you name the event that happened there ok? i'll start. P.S. i'm new to this, so it's kinda easy

Minas tirith

[The Saucepan Man]

Weeeell, rather a lot happened in that particular place ...

But I will plump for either the seige during the War of the Ring or the self-immolation of Denethor.

[Durelin]

Maybe you should give clues and then have someone try to figure out what event in Tolkien's works you're talking about. Maybe a quote or characters involved or the goal of the end result or what led to it, etc, etc. I don't know, that may be a bit hard, but we all need work for our brains! Right? Well...maybe not...well, we know Saucepan Man will take a crack at it no matter what. Right Saucepan Man? smilies/biggrin.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

...well, we know Saucepan Man will take a crack at it no matter what. Right Saucepan Man?

Too right, Durelin. Can't keep a good Saucepan Man down! smilies/biggrin.gif

I concur with your suggestions, however.

[One Axe to Rule them All]

actually, think of a very important event within the siege of minas tirith

and thank you for the helpers Durelin.

[Phervasaion]

Was it when Theoden was killed by the lord of the Nazgul? Or was it when Eowyn and Merry Destroyed the lord of the Nazgul

[One Axe to Rule them All]

Phervasaion is right with when eowyn and merry kill the lord of the nazgul!

Phervasaion's turn

[ April 27, 2003: Message edited by: One Axe to Rule them All ]

[Phervasaion]

Ok, erm, this ones pretty easy but il use it as a first one.

Wethertop, and its when Aragorn and the hobits were stopping there for a night.

[One Axe to Rule them All]

Frodo get's stabbed by the nazgul blade?

[Phervasaion]

Yep thats right, Frodo gets stabbed witha Morgul blade.

Your turn.

[One Axe to Rule them All]

How about

Minas Tirith, after the ring is returned

[Beren87]

Returned? When was the ring ever returned to Minas Tirith? Last time I checked, M.T. didn't exactly own the ring and there was this little escapade about not bringing there that involved the death of some steward guy.

[One Axe to Rule them All]

i'm sorry, i didn't mean returned, i meant destroyed

[Siiw]

Eowyn was healed?

[Airehiriel]

Aragorn married Arwen?

[One Axe to Rule them All]

You're right with aragorn married Arwen

your turn Airehiriel

[The Perky Ent]

Airehiriel? If you still write on the barrow-downs, post a new question on here!!!!

[Beren87]

It's been quite long enough. smilies/wink.gif

I'll throw one out:

Rivendell, shortly after the Council, but before the Fellowship departing.

[Evisse the Blue]

The members of the Fellowship were chosen?

[Beren87]

The Fellowship was more or less chosen in the council. smilies/tongue.gif

<font size=1 color=339966>[ 3:54 PM February 07, 2004: Message edited by: Beren87 ]

[NightKnight]

The Shards of Narsil were reforged into Anduril?

[Thorongil]

Bilbo giving Sting and the mithril vest to Frodo?

[Beren87]

NightKnight has the answer I was looking for!

[NightKnight]

What happened in Emyn Muil?

[Miriel]

Frodo and Sam captured Gollum, and he became their guide?

[NightKnight]

Yup, carry on. smilies/smile.gif

[The Perky Ent]

10 DAY RULE! New Question: Paths of the Dead

[symestreem]

Nothing much actually happened at the Paths of the Dead except the dead people *resists bad pun* started following the Grey Company. It was at the Stone of Erech that they actually swore to fulfill their oath.

[The Perky Ent]

Yep! that was a trick question!

[Miriel]

Argh, my apologies, forgot about this thread. ;)

[symestreem]

Rammas Echor.

[NightKnight]

The orcs and the rohirrim entered the fields of Pelennor?

[symestreem]

That'll do. Please proceed, NightKnight.

[NightKnight]

Erebor.

[Estanesse]

The battle of five armies and the destruction of a dwarf kingdome by Smaug.

[NightKnight]

Wrong ones.

[Gil-Galad]

Foundation of Erebor laid... ARkenstone found.... Dain Ironfoot became king

[NightKnight]

The Arkenstone's what I was looking for.

[The Perky Ent]

Um...well...it's your turn Trogdor, i mean Gil-Galad

[Gil-Galad]

hmmm.. lets see....and becareful Perky, i might Burninate Fangorn


Blue Mountains

[Thorongil]

The destruction of Belegost? or Nogrod?

[NightKnight]

The dwarves lived there?

[Gil-Galad]

Thorongil is close but not close enough

[luthien-elvenprincess]

The Blue Mountains were split into two mountain ranges by the sea at the end of the First Age

[Gil-Galad]

Luthien read my mind, thats right! your go elven princess

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Chamber of Mazarbul

[Thorongil]

Frodo being stabbed?

[Evisse the Blue]

Or fiding Balin's grave?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Evisse, you are close enough...I was thinking along the line of Balin's men fighting to the last in this chamber that contained Balin's tomb.
Your turn to step right up to the microphone!

[Evisse the Blue]

Thanks, luthien.:)

Frogmorton

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Frogmorton is the village in Eastfarthing where the hobbits were 'arrested' by the team of Shirriff's men.

[Evisse the Blue]

Yes, that's the event I had in mind, the hobbits' arrest.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Bamfurlong

[Gil-Galad]

Maggot met Nazgul... umm....Maggot helped Hobbits...isn't it Barnfurlong? well whatever...3 dogs with names, 14 kids(:eek: )
can't think of very much.... Merry wasn't there when Pip,Sam and frodo were there

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Ok, OK, enough already, Gil!:D You got it. I was thinking about Farmer Maggot 'introducing' Frodo to his dogs after he caught Frodo stealing mushrooms.
No, Bamfurlong is correct.
Your turn at the grill:p

[Gil-Galad]

Woody Hall

[Nirvana II]

isnt it Wood hall....and thats where Gildor took Frodo,Sam and Pippin that night so'd they be safe from the Ulari right?

[Gil-Galad]

Its Woody Hall and thats not the event i'm looking for

Hint: first time Frodo met this type of elf

[Nirvana II]

Frodo first met a high Elf (or calaquendi, if ya wanna be picky about it)?

[Gil-Galad]

Close but no

[Nirvana II]

Avari?

[Gil-Galad]

Your getting colder

[Nirvana II]

Noldor?Teleri?vanyar?Sindar?

[Gil-Galad]

good.. now go more in depth with those races

[Nirvana II]

how so? the differences?do i still get the question right?

[Gil-Galad]

Pick a race and describe its differences

[Nirvana II]

Vanyar- the Fair elves,none went back to ME Noldor-followed Feanor back to ME Teleri-some stayed, some went Sindar-the grey elves, they all stayed in ME,so are considered Avari

[Gil-Galad]

Straying off again... stick with Gildor and high elves, what did Gildor say?

[Nirvana II]

that he saw Bilbo twice?

[Firefoot]

I'm going to jump in here...is it that Frodo met an Elf of the House of Finrod?

[Nirvana II]

ah Firefoot, quit stealin my thunder. i havent gotten anything right at all yet. Do you feel the need to answer?

[Firefoot]

Yes, I get very competitive...it could be considered good or bad.;) :rolleyes: But since you got most of it, I'll let you go if I get it right...you were the one who got it most of the way there.

[Nirvana II]

thanks FF and thank you Gil

the Sammath Naur you'll never get this one.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

At Sammath Naur...something to do with Frodo and the Ring or Isildur and the ring or Gollum and the ring...

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Shouldn't you all wait for Gil-Galad to confirm the right answer?

[Thorongil]

The eagles picking up Frodo & Sam?

[The Saucepan Man]

Please wait until Gil-Galad has confirmed whether Firefoot's answer is correct. If it is not, then that question remains open.

[Nirvana II]

ok

[Gil-Galad]

Firefoot is corect with the house of Finrod

[Firefoot]

Hmm, Sammath Naur is either going to be really obvious or tricky... I'll shoot for obvious. The ring was destroyed?

[The Perky Ent]

The one ring was destoryed? If you're looking for something smaller, Frodo lost a finger?

[Nirvana II]

no to both you and Firefoot

[symestreem]

The Ring got its second master; Gollum died.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

The Ring was forged.

[Thorongil]

What about my guess?

[NightKnight]

Or maybe it's the forging of the ring.

[Nirvana II]

no one got it right yet

[Thorongil]

Frodo losing a finger?

[Nirvana II]

nope

[luthien-elvenprincess]

maybe a hint???

[The Perky Ent]

Um...how about...Isildur refused to destory the One ring after being told by Elrond to do so?

[Firefoot]

Gollum died?

[symestreem]

The Nazgul perished?

[Nirvana II]

no to all so far

hint:think obscure

[NightKnight]

Sauron discovered the peril he was in?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Sam had a vision of Sauron's empire crumbling.

[Nirvana II]

nyet (russian for no)

[NightKnight]

The great burden was lifted from Frodo?

[Kath]

The Ring was forged?

[Firefoot]

Gollum and Frodo fought for the Ring?

[Miriel]

Obscure, obscure, obscure.....
Following the Downfall of Numenor, the Exiles in Middle Earth realised that Sauron had also escaped by seeing the smoke rising from Mount Doom? (Clumsily worded, but you can hopefully guess what I mean. ;))
Or, simply, Sauron fled there to rebuild his power? (Though I s'pose that's all of Mordor.....hmmm.....)

[Nirvana II]

no!more obscure people! your to down to earth!

[Thorongil]

Well, could you please give another hint?

[Nirvana II]

no...another hint would give it away

[Sleepy Ranger]

Obscure? You want obscure? Well, here you go.
Gollum became hero of ME by destroying the One Ring.
Is that obscure enough?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Can't get more down to earth than that. ;)

[Firefoot]

Can you atleast tell us what you mean by obscure? Or tell us who is close?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Gollum's very last wail of Precious was heard there.

[Nirvana II]

no one is close...it has nothing to do with Gollum ya'll!

[Gil-Galad]

One of teh only volcanos in ME stated..so i'll try to base my anwsers around that....Nazgul died near that place?

[Mad Baggins]

How about this:

Sam and Frodo almost died.

[The Perky Ent]

Frodo became the Lord of the Rings....even if for a short period of time?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

There burned the only fire in ME hot enough to destroy the Ring.

[Firefoot]

Eru intervened and caused the Ring to be destroyed.

(Though maybe that has something to do with Gollum)

[The Perky Ent]

Samwise got to see Mt. Doom from the interior?

[Kath]

This is really difficult. Is it something mentioned in the books or is it something thats totally unrelated?

[Nirvana II]

no one's on the right track at all yet

[NightKnight]

I think you need to give a bigger hint.

[Firefoot]

Is it in LotR or appendices? That is a hint you could give that shouldn't "give it away" as you said.

[Nirvana II]

LOTR

[Miriel]

Sam carries Frodo? Sam spares Gollum's life? Sam uses the Phial of Galadriel? Frodo attempts to keep the Ring? Frodo's burden is lifted? Gwaihir saves Sam and Frodo? Am I even getting close...? ;)

[Nirvana II]

not at all.....just keep of the topic of sam and gollum............;)

[Kath]

Ok, both Sam and Gollum wanted to get the Ring of Frodo though for differnet reasons.

[symestreem]

Sam threatens Gollum and lets him go?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Phial of Galadriel doesn't work...all powers except Sauron's subdued here at the heart of Sauron's realm.

Nirvana, do you mean keep "off" or "on" the topic of Gollum and Sam? "Of" doesn't make sense to me.:(

[Nirvana II]

typo....i meant the word "off"

[Nirvana II]

hint:think Frodo and something to do with the way he interacts with people

[symestreem]

He becomes "the master of the Shire days" again; he makes Sauron scared of him.

[Nirvana II]

nope....way off......it affects how he interacts with others

[NightKnight]

He becomes aggressive against Sam because of the Ring?

[The Perky Ent]

On the subject of what NightKnight was saying, HE doesn't care for Sam one wink once he puts on the ring

[Nirvana II]

nope.....keep on keepin on......how long has this been goin????

[Paulus Of The Shire]

Frodo Disappears?

[Nirvana II]

nope :smokin:

[Paulus Of The Shire]

He saves the party that marched on the black gate, not much longer could have they held out.....

[Firefoot]

Frodo cried out because Gollum bit him? Frodo's will was aroused? Frodo foretold Gollum would die? Frodo stands erect? These all seem pretty obscure to me - anything close?

This is ridiculously hard... who did Frodo interact with in this event?

[Kath]

Please could we have some clues here!?!
Is it even something to do with Frodo or are we supposed to be thinking of things that happened at that particular time or what?
Help please!

[Arvedui III]

Obscenely hard, this. Frodo was seen by Sauron?

[Evisse the Blue]

Frodo speaks with a voice louder and clearer as ever before?

[Nirvana II]

not yet.....but it DOES have to do with Frodo

[Firefoot]

How do you expect us to figure this out? Is it something that is actually said in the book (i.e. if the answer was Sam carried Frodo it says in the book "Sam picked Frodo up and carried him.")

[Kath]

Yes is it something that was written in the book or is it a film thing?
Please hints, clues, anything!

[Evisse the Blue]

Frodo held/put on the ring for the final time? Frodo felt the pain of losing the finger? and then of losing the ring? He selfishly refuses to think of the consequences his act may have for others? He challenges Sauron? Is this obscure enough yet? :p

[Mad Baggins]

Frodo looks evilly at Sam, therefore taunting him and teasing him before putting on the Ring? I can't believe you guys haven't gotten this yet... :p

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Frodo was the first hobbit ever to step into Sammath Naur.

[The Perky Ent]

The first time Frodo had a none blade inflicted mortal wound?

[Nirvana II]

ok...none right yet...nothing do do with Frodo's physical state-thingy

[NightKnight]

You've made this too hard for us. Give us a better clue. :p

[Nirvana II]

p is for psychology

[The Saucepan Man]

Satisfying though it may be to see NightKnight admit that a question is too hard ( :p ;) ), he has a point. This question has gone on for far too long. I think that it's about time you started giving more obvious clues, Nirvana II. :rolleyes:

[Kath]

OK how about the ring finally overthrows Frodos mind?

[Nirvana II]

not quite....that was the closest...ever

[Fingolfin II]

Frodo puts on the Ring for the last time?

[Kath]

Frodo stops being himself?

[Nirvana II]

go on Kath....Fingolfin.....read the thread....i said nothing physical

[Kath]

Um, Frodo technically becomes the Dark Lord for a moment?

[Dargoth of Morkrond]

Frodo says farewell to Sam.....

[Evisse the Blue]

Frodo displays evidence of multiple Personality disorder? ~ Frodo uncovers the dark side of his Personality under the influence of the Ring?

[Dargoth of Morkrond]

Who take part of this event? Sam? Gollum?

[Mithalwen]

Frodo claims the ring and Sauron is afraid of him?

[The Perky Ent]

Frodo and the Dark Lord become one?

[Divyan Redsmith]

Frodo claims the ring for himself.

[Gil-Galad]

already said i belive...

[The Saucepan Man]

:rolleyes:

Unless someone is sure that they have got it, I suggest that everyone waits 10 days and then someone can ask a new question. If Nirvana wants to keep the question going, then he/she should post in the meantime and give a much clearer hint ...

[Gil-Galad]

agreed...

[The Saucepan Man]

... so anyone can post now with a new question.

[Firefoot]

I'll go.

The Cross-roads.

[NightKnight]

The statue of the king was restored?

[Firefoot]

That's what I had in mind. Your go.

[NightKnight]

Awesome. :D

Nanduhirion.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Many things happened here. How about this: After the battle of Azanulbizar, due to the sheer number of slain, Dwarves had to burn the bodies of their dead there, instead of giving them a proper burial.

[NightKnight]

Not quite what I thought.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Sticking with dwarves...Durin saw himself reflected in the lake, with a crown of stars around his head.

[NightKnight]

Nope. Later than that.

[Gil-Galad]

Gimli looked at it?

[NightKnight]

Not that late. ;)

[Thorongil]

The battle of Nanduhirion?

[NightKnight]

You have the right time, but the wrong event.

BTW, are you a Nightwish fan?

[Thorongil]

The burning of the dead dwarwes?

BTW, are you a Nightwish fan?Yes, I've started listening to their music lately. Some of the best music I've ever heard.

[NightKnight]

Nope.

I thought so when I saw your location. ;)

[Evisse the Blue]

Dain killed Azog?

Oh, Thorongil, you are my new best friend. Nightwish are indeed awesome.

[Thorongil]

Azog killed Nain?

Oh, Thorongil, you are my new best friend. Nightwish are indeed awesome.
I doubt we are the only two people on this board who likes Nightwish. But you can never have too many friends.

[NightKnight]

Nope, no killings.

I like Nightwish too! :D

[Thorongil]

Can I have a hint?

[NightKnight]

Uhm... Think nicknames. :p

[Sleepy Ranger]

Thorin got his nickname here?

[Gil-Galad]

After the dwarves left the name Moria stuck better then Khazad Dum

[NightKnight]

Sleepy Ranger has it. :)

[Sleepy Ranger]

Ack, my turn. Celebros

[NightKnight]

Nienor shuddered?

[Sleepy Ranger]

...Yes I think thats the only thing that did happen there.

[NightKnight]

I think so too...

Anfauglith.

[Tuor of Gondolin]

Duel between Fingolfin and Morgoth?

[Gil-Galad]

Battle of Sudden Flame?

[rutslegolas]

battle of flames as Gil-Galad already says.

[NightKnight]

Nope.

[Gil-Galad]

Surprise of Glaruang? First coming of the Dwarves into battle?

[NightKnight]

Neither.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Grass grew there only on the Haudh-en-Ndengin

[NightKnight]

Nope.

[Nanedhel]

Gelmir of Nargothrond was murdered in front of his brother and the Elven army?

[NightKnight]

Nope.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

10 day rule...

New one: The Woody End

[Nilturiel]

frodo and co. meat elves?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

'meat elves'...I never heard of them! From which division of elves did this new group arise? :p

You are correct. :)

A very hearty welcome to the Downs!

[Nilturiel]

oups! :o I mean meet

ok. new one: Druadan Forest

[NightKnight]

Ghan-Buri-Ghan guided the rohirrim through it?

Nilturiel, I totally love your avatar!

[Nilturiel]

you are correct!

thank you :) your is really nice too..
(det känns lite konstigt att skriva på engelska till nån som man vet är svensk)

[NightKnight]

Hehe, jo, jag vet hur det är. Men vanligtvis brukar folk bli lite störda om man pratar svenska, så vi kan väl hålla oss till engelska? Och tack, förresten. :)

Pelargir.

[Evisse the Blue]

Aragorn & co fought the Corsairs?

[NightKnight]

Nope.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Elendil landed there after the downfall of Numenor

[NightKnight]

Nay.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Legalos first heard sea gulls crying there?

[NightKnight]

That's it! Your turn now. :)

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Merethrond

[NightKnight]

Gimli and Eomer settled their debate?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Close, but not quite the event I was wanting. The answer I am looking for in the same section of text from which you derived your answer.

[Evisse the Blue]

Eomer first saw Galadriel and/or Arwen?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Evisse is correct :)

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Evisse???

[Evisse the Blue]

Yeah, sorry, I forgot. :)

Treebeard's Hill

[rutslegolas]

Where Pippin and Merry first spoke to Treebeard .

[Evisse the Blue]

Nope.

[rutslegolas]

Aragorn,Legolas and Gimli met Gandalf the White???

[Evisse the Blue]

Not exactly. ;)

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Gandalf was revealed as "The White"??

[rutslegolas]

Gandalf tells them his future plans and how he defeated the Balrog .

Yeessss at last the long awaited moment has come , I am Ghost Prince of Cardalon :cool: :D

[Evisse the Blue]

Nope, it's before those. (congrats for your new status, rutslegolas :) )

[Gil-Galad]

Treebeard saw Sarumans treachery? or am i way off?

[Evisse the Blue]

Nope (you're way off :D )

[luthien-elvenprincess]

How about Aragorn found hobbit and other strange marks on the steps and ledges?

[rutslegolas]

Pippin looked on the forest and said " I almost thought I loved it " ( thats not really the original quote but I have'nt got my books )

[Evisse the Blue]

Sorry, guys, I forgot about this thread. Unfortunately I also forgot about the event I had in mind, so either Luthien or Rutslegolas can go, whichever comes to the thread first!

Actually anyone can go, because it's been way more than 10 days! :)

[Gil-Galad]

I might as well go...

Osgiliath

[Evisse the Blue]

Frodo and Sam were there? (just kidding :D ).

The Battle of Osgiliath?

[Gil-Galad]

err thats a little too general...so i have to say no

[Evisse the Blue]

The Battle at Osgiliath when only Boromir and Faramir and another man survived?

[Gil-Galad]

nope try again!

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Faramir's company fails to hold the crossings (just prior to the Battle of Pelennor)?

[Gil-Galad]

nope try again...again

[Vinyacoriel]

When Faramir and co. goes back to Osgiliath and tries to retake it and only Faramir survived? (the suicide mission)

[Gil-Galad]

nope before that...and welcome to the downs!!!

[Gil-Galad]

if you do some looking back you'll find it...its rather easy...

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

The palantir is lost in the Kinstrife?

Peter Jackson's unfortunate Ring-seen-by-Nazgul incident? (sorry sorry, couldn't help it)

[Gil-Galad]

after kinstrife, before nazgul-ringy thingy

[arcticstorm]

Boromir's funeral boat floated through the city

[Gil-Galad]

its not that...bah i'm trying to remember it now...
