Odd Man Out

[Beren87]

Elrond was the only one in the hobbit?

[Ultimatejoe]

It's NOT that it's hard; it's too inspecific. Each one of the answers we've provided COULD have been right.

[Beren87]

True, true, but thats what the clues are for.

[Pallando B.C]

I think that one has been said before Beren.

Galadriel is the only one to speak, in the Quenta Silmarillion

[Manardariel]

No. Something tells me Elrond´s in the Quenta as well, but whatever.

[Beren87]

They all have a chapter named after them except for Gimli?

[Manardariel]

YES!!!!!!!! You´ve got it!!!!!!! 100000000000000 Million Dollars to Beren!

Wow-y.
Your turn, my friend smilies/smile.gif

[Pallando B.C]

Only one to speak, remember.

[Beren87]

YES!!! I'm rich!

Finrod
Hour
Fingon
Hurin

[Ultimatejoe]

Finrod
Huor
Fingon
HurinThey all lived in Beleriand? Just kidding... Finrod is the only one who didn't fight at the Battle of Unnumbered Tears.

[Beren87]

Ah, not what I was thinking.

[elven maiden Earwen]

bad guess but hurin was the only one not slain in battle smilies/frown.gif

[Beren87]

Not it. Its something they all encountered.

[elven maiden Earwen]

hour was the only one that didnt face morgoth

[Beren87]

Fingon didn't either.

That's not it.

[elven maiden Earwen]

fingon only one that faced sauron

[Beren87]

Why don't you give all these guesses at once so I can just say No once? smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Ultimatejoe]

Finrod never encountered the Eagles?

[Beren87]

Nope, but your getting there, just not the eagles.

[Lindolirian]

Finrod is the only one who has never encountered a Balrog.

[Beren87]

Ah, not a balrog....but still closer.

[Ultimatejoe]

Finrod is the only one to face Sauron?

[Russandol]

Finrod was the only one who didn't have any children?

[Manardariel]

Weeezzz, this is hard....Beren87, a hint, maybe?

[elven maiden Earwen]

Hey Beren87 plese give us a hint

[Rochelle]

Finrod was the only one who was not slain or had family slain by Morgoth? I think it was mentioned before, but Finrod also did not fight in the Unnumbered Tears.

[elven maiden Earwen]

Beren87 please can we have a hint!!!!

[Lindolirian]

Okay... This one is waaaay past 10 days.


Beren
Hurin
Azog
Gimli
Androg

[The Saucepan Man]

Gimli is the odd one out, since all the others killed Dwarves and Gimli is a Dwarf.

Beren attacked the Dwarves of Nogrod who had killed Thingol and stolen Nauglamir.

Hurin killed the Petty Dwarf, Mim.

Azog was on Orcish king who no doubt killed many Dwarves, including Thror.

Of Androg, I have no idea, but he sounds like an Orc and therefore a Dwarf-killer.

Btw Lindolirian, your reply is awaited on the "What doesn't belong" thread.

[Lindolirian]

You are correct. Androg was the companion of Túrin who shot Khîm, Mîm's son.

[The Saucepan Man]

OK. This is probably quite easy, but here goes:

Bilbo Baggins
Thorin Oakenshield
Gandalf the Grey
Legolas Greenleaf
Aragorn
Peregrine Took

[elven maiden Earwen]

pip because he hasnt been to the woods of Mirkwood.

[Tar-Palantir]

Legolas has never been to the Shire.

[ February 26, 2003: Message edited by: Tar-Palantir ]

[The Saucepan Man]

Nope. It's not about where any of them went. It's about something that five of them did that one did not.

[elven maiden Earwen]

everyone but legolas died.Gandalf died in Moria and returned to life and the rest were mortal except legolas?

[Durelin]

Bilbo never killed an orc while the rest of them did? Well, I think Bilbo only killed spiders, right?

[The Saucepan Man]

Nope. I'm thinking more about their time off from killing orcs and the like ...

[Durelin]

Oh, duh! Smoke pipeweed! Legolas is the only one that doesn't smoke pipeweed! Am I right?

[The Saucepan Man]

Of course you are. Mind you, I probably could have included every non-Elf in the list.

Funny, Elves are the ones who live forever and aren't affected by disease, and yet they are the ones who don't smoke. smilies/biggrin.gif

[Durelin]

Huh. Well, here's a really easy one (I can't think):

Shelob
Brego
Smaug
Huan

[The Saucepan Man]

Brego was the only man, or the only one of the Children of Iluvatar. The others were all creatures (spider, dragon and hound).

[Durelin]

Oops, not what I meant...let me adjust a little:

Shelob
Smaug
Arod
Huan

Try that! It is soooo easy! Maybe not as easy as my mistake before but...

[Gil-Galad]

refersh my memery what is arod?

[Manardariel]

Arod is one of the horses given to the three hunters by Eomer.

Smaug is the only creature, as opposed to animals. OR Arod is is the only one about who´s death we never hear.

[Durelin]

Excellent! The second guess was right. Also, Smaug is the only one without hair! smilies/biggrin.gif

Your turn Manardariel!

[Manardariel]

Oh goody! And sorry it took me so long... smilies/frown.gif
Ok, here we go:

Varda
Aragorn
Gimli
Sam
Elrond

[Gil-Galad]

Varda was not at the council of Elrond or wasn't in the War of the Ring

[Annunfuiniel]

Gimli, he had nothing to do with stars.
Varda: well, has EVERYTHING to do with stars
Aragorn: star of Elendil (star of the north)
Sam: star-glass of Galadriel
Elrond: êl- 'star'

[Manardariel]

Both wrong! smilies/tongue.gif

[Tar-Palantir]

Gimli had no spouse! smilies/biggrin.gif

Aragorn-Arwen
Sam-Rosie
Varda-Manwë
Elrond-Celebrían

[Manardariel]

Yay! There you go! smilies/wink.gif

[Tar-Palantir]

Finarfin
Tar-Telemmaitë
Haldad
Elrond
Fëanor

Good luck! smilies/smile.gif

[ March 08, 2003: Message edited by: Tar-Palantir ]

[Narya]

Feanor is the only one who hasn´t got a daughter.

[Tar-Palantir]

Close enough Narya, all of them sired a Queen except for Fëanor.

Your turn. smilies/smile.gif

[Narya]

Thank you,
the next on will be:

Finrod
Aragorn
Beren
Frodo

[Gil-Galad]

Frodo didn't have a child or spouse or frodo was only hobbit

[Narya]

No, that´s not what I was thinking of...

[Annunfuiniel]

Frodo is the only one whose death isn't described?

[Manardariel]

Frodo is the only one who´s not a king/ ruler´s heir?

Nooo, wait. Frodo is the only one who has nothing to do with Barahir´s ring???

[Narya]

Yep, that´s right, Manardariel.
Frodo had nothing to do with the Ring of Barahir.
Your turn...

[Manardariel]

Oh, cool!

Frodo
Eomer
Arwen
Turin

[Gil-Galad]

Turin was in different age

Eomer only person too inherit a kingdom

[Manardariel]

No! smilies/wink.gif

[elven maiden Earwen]

frodo is the only one with no sibilings

[Manardariel]

Yes! You go, elven maiden!

[Narya]

Arwen´s father never died?

Or maybe it is that Turin´s mother died after him?
In the other cases their mothers (and fathers) died befor them.

[elven maiden Earwen]

thanks

merry
aragorn
sam
elrond
mithrandir

[Faenaduial]

Elrond was the only one who was not a member of the fellowship.

[elven maiden Earwen]

you are correct good job

[Faenaduial]

Thanks

Thingol
Finrod
Thranduil
Celeborn
Fingon
Fingolfin

[The Saucepan Man]

Finrod is the only one who never married, and had no offspring.

[Faenaduial]

Very good. Your turn Saucepan Man.

[The Saucepan Man]

OK, this I think is a fairly easy one, but it's all my brain can stretch to at this time of night (morning smilies/eek.gif ):

Bilbo Baggins
Gloin
Lobelia Sackville-Baggins
Gandalf the Grey
Gwaihir the Windlord
Elrond
Smaug the Golden
Gollum

[elven maiden Earwen]

Lobiala wasnt in the hobbit

[The Saucepan Man]

Well, although not mentioned by name, she certainly featured in it - it was she and her husband who were busy auctioning off Bilbo's possessions when he returned from his adventure.

Anyway, no, that's not the answer.

[Annunfuiniel]

Smaug doesn't play an "active" role in the LoTR?

[Gil-Galad]

Lobvelia didn't play at all any part in the 5 armie battle or the hobbit

[ March 17, 2003: Message edited by: Gil-Galad ]

[The Saucepan Man]

Annunfuiniel has it - Smaug is the only character who did not have an active role in both LotR and The Hobbit.

[Annunfuiniel]

Well, here's the next list:
Arwen
Celeborn
Cirdan
Elladan
Elrohir
Elrond
Erestor
Galadriel
Glorfindel

[Gil-Galad]

Glorfindel was onyl elf too return to ME
Arwen only one to marry man/king
Galadreil only one to originaly have ring of power (Cirdan gave his away and elond got his from Gil-Galad)

[Gil-Galad]

am i right or am i wrong?

[Annunfuiniel]

Sorry Gil-Galad, good answers there but not the one I am looking for. You'll find the answer for this straight from the books. smilies/smile.gif

[alaklondewen]

Círdan was the only one who didn't come to Minas Tirith for the wedding of Elessar and Arwen.

[Annunfuiniel]

Yes indeed, alaklondewen! smilies/smile.gif
Carry on.

[alaklondewen]

Great, thank you!

Barliman Butterbur
Brand
Círdan
Dain
Denethor
Durin
Haldir
Oin
Gil-galad
Saruman
Thranduil

[Gil-Galad]

Butterbur was the only one to have helped/ housed Frodo and the hobbits

Gil-Galad wasn't alive in wotr

[alaklondewen]

Those are good answers but not what I'm looking for.

[Tar-Palantir]

Óin, because the rest were all kings, lords, bosses or the head of something or other.

If it's not Óin from The Hobbit you are referring to then I'll say Haldir, for the same reason above.

[The Saucepan Man]

Saruman is the only Maiar? Or the only one who didn't come into being in ME?

[alaklondewen]

No and no.

[Tar-Palantir]

Círdan was the only shipwright!!

Seriously though, that is an awfully long list...

[Gil-Galad]

Cirdan lived troguh mostly all of the ages

[elven maiden Earwen]

Which Durin??

[alaklondewen]

Sorry, none of these answers are correct.
I made the list long to hopefully emphasize the similarity between them. HINT: This person was not mentioned.

elven maiden Earwen, Durin is Durin I (the Deathless).

I hope this helps.

[ March 23, 2003: Message edited by: alaklondewen ]

[elven maiden Earwen]

Durin was the only one that wasnt alive during the 2nd & 3rd ages

[Tar-Palantir]

Oin was not mentioned in LotR?

[alaklondewen]

Tar-Palantir, you are so close. Oin was mentioned at the ........

[elven maiden Earwen]

brand wasnt mentioned in LOTR

[alaklondewen]

Oh, but he was. This is a BIG hint: Oin and Brand were "mentioned" in the same place.

[Annunfuiniel]

Haldir wasn't mentioned at the Counsil of Elrond.

[alaklondewen]

Yes! That's what I am looking for. Well done.

[Annunfuiniel]

Thanks! smilies/smile.gif
Let's go on with these:

Barahir
Beren
Boromir
Dior
Huor
Hurin
Turin

[Lyra Greenleaf]

was Huor the only one who wasn't a ruling steward of Gondor?

[Annunfuiniel]

You're so right, Lyra! smilies/smile.gif I knew I shouldn't have put Boromir there, it made it too easy! Oh well... smilies/rolleyes.gif smilies/wink.gif

[Lyra Greenleaf]

Denethor
Melian
Hurin
Theoden
Galadriel
Lobelia Sackville-Baggins

[The Saucepan Man]

Galadriel was the only one whose offspring did not die.

Denthor's son, Boromir, was killed by Orcs defending Merry and Pippin. His brother Faramir died of old age.

Melian's daughter, Luthien, relinquished her immortality for the love of Beren.

Hurin's children all died: Urwen from an evil plague released by Morgoth, Nienor threw herself in the river Teiglin when she learned from a dying Glaurung that she had married her brother, and the self-same Turin slew himself in grief shortly therefater.

Theoden's son, Theodred fell at the first battle of the Ford of Isen.

Lobelia Sackville-Baggins' son, Lotho was killed by Grima Wormtongue.

Galadriel's daughter, Celebrian, although captured, tormented and poisoned by Orcs, was rescued by her sons and healed by Elrond. She therefore did not die, but chose to pass to the West.

So, is it Galadriel?

[Lyra Greenleaf]

OK, way too easy for you. Yes that was it. I didn't think it would go SO fast as that!

[The Saucepan Man]

It's all down to timing, Lyra. smilies/wink.gif

Next up:

Bilbo
Fatty
Frodo
Merry
Pippin

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Fatty never left the shire, but that seems so easy... *suspicious* smilies/tongue.gif

Or is it that Fatty was both a hobbit and a pony?

[Lyra Greenleaf]

Did only Fatty not write a book?
Or is Frodo the only one not to have direct Took parentage?

[ March 27, 2003: Message edited by: Lyra Greenleaf ]

[The Saucepan Man]

Sophia, both true, but not what I'm thinking of.

Lyra, your on the right track with your second answer ...

[ March 27, 2003: Message edited by: The Saucepan Man ]

[Gil-Galad]

Bilbo out lived the old took

[Lyra Greenleaf]

So it's not the fact that they all have a Took for a parent? Hmmm...
How about Fatty is the only one with no Baggins blood?

[The Saucepan Man]

No and no. smilies/smile.gif

Here's a hint:

Bilbo
Fatty
Frodo
Merry
Pippin
and
Rose

[Gil-Galad]

i woudl say Rose becasue either

1. she was only women/married Sam of the fellowship
2. they all had to do something with the ring(Bilbo gave ring,Fatty help Frodo to which direction or something)
3. Rose was only one that married

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Sam because he got married first?

[The Saucepan Man]

Eh? Sam's not on the list (although he is central to the answer *hint hint*). smilies/tongue.gif

[Gil-Galad]

rose was the only one to have childeren

[Lyra Greenleaf]

Ooh ooh!
Fatty is the only one who isn't one of sam's kids!

[The Saucepan Man]

Spot on, Lyra. Well done. smilies/smile.gif

Your turn ...

[Lyra Greenleaf]

EDIT: I'm SO stupid! odd man out!
OK, easy peasy:

Adanedhel
Gorthol
Neithan
Telumehtar
Agarwaen

[ April 04, 2003: Message edited by: Lyra Greenleaf ]

[Faenaduial]

Telumethar - 28th King of Gondor

All the others were names given to or taken by Turin.

[Lyra Greenleaf]

Yes, your go!

[Faenaduial]

Okay, let's try odd woman out:

Arwen
Luthien
Earwen
Nimloth
Galadriel
Elwing

[Gil-Galad]

galdreil becausethe others were Half-Elven or married men

[Faenaduial]

Sorry that's not it.

[Lalaith]

None of Arwen's children went to the Undying Lands.

[Eruanna]

Nimloth was the only one who was murdered?

[Faenaduial]

Eruanna you are correct. You have the floor.

[Eruanna]

I've read this thread.....mine is probably way too easy but:

Fëanor
Fingon
Maeglin
Curufin
Maedhros
Ereinion
Finrod

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Ereinion (Gil-Galad) was the only one who survived into the Second Age?

[Eruanna]

Good, but not what I was looking for. Think families. smilies/smile.gif

[Faenaduial]

Feanor - He is the only one who is a son of Finwe. The other are grandsons or great-grandsons.

[Eruanna]

Closer....very warm in fact....but...think "pecking order" or position in family. (whoops...that's probably done it smilies/smile.gif )

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

So Curufin is the only one that wasn't an oldest child?

[Eruanna]

That's it!

You're on next smilies/biggrin.gif

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Anarion
Elendil
Amandil
Eldarion
Calmacil

-Sophia

[alaklondewen]

Is it Amandil because he is the only one who wasn't a king?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Nope

[alaklondewen]

Was Eldarion the only who lived to see the Fourth Age?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Nope... *mysterious smile like the MonaLisa*

[The Saucepan Man]

Is it Amandil, as the only one never to have ruled over Gondor, or to have set foot on ME?

... or do I get a:

smilies/biggrin.gif

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

http://linville1.com/anim/anim0093.gif

Sorry my friend... keep trying!

Sophia

[Gil-Galad]

Elendil becasue he as a major elf-friend

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Still no...

is it time for a hint? Some of these names may have been borne by more than one person...

Sophia

[ April 12, 2003: Message edited by: Sophia the Thunder Mistress ]

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

no takers at all? smilies/frown.gif I gave you a hint!
*Sophia sulks in the corner*

[elven maiden Earwen]

Anarion is a person and place

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Nope, and I think you're confusing Anarion and Anorien smilies/wink.gif

Sophia

[elven maiden Earwen]

oopps my bad. smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/tongue.gif

[alaklondewen]

Eldarion is the only one who doesn't have two people with that name. Each of the other names is a Numenorian King and either a King of Gondor or in Amandil's case the Lord of Andúnië.

[ April 17, 2003: Message edited by: alaklondewen ]

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

After hard thought I've decided that Alaklondewen is right. I was looking for the fact that Eldarion was the only one that was not the ruling name of a King of Numenor. But since Alak did mention that specifically in her answer she's right smilies/smile.gif

Sophia

[alaklondewen]

Thank you, Sophia. smilies/smile.gif I believe this will probably be an easy one...

Ori
Balin
Gloin
Nali
Oin

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Nali wasn't one of the Dwarves that went on Thorin & Bilbo's quest

Sophia

[alaklondewen]

You're right that he didn't, but that's not what I'm looking for.

[ April 18, 2003: Message edited by: alaklondewen ]

[Lyra Greenleaf]

You made Nali up? Sorry, I'm only joking but I can't find anything and it's frustrating!

Erm, Nali is the only one not related to Gimli?

[alaklondewen]

Nope, and Náli is a real Dwarf (in Tolkien's mind anyway smilies/wink.gif ).

[Tar-Palantir]

Nali was not from Erebor? Or was not of Durin's line?

[alaklondewen]

Nope. Hint: Náli is NOT the answer. smilies/smile.gif

[Gil-Galad]

Balin was the last one of his kind to retake Khazad-Dum?

[alaklondewen]

You are extremely close, Gil-galad. Now think, they all have something in common, except...

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Gloin wasn't part of Balin's Khazad-dum retaking team smilies/wink.gif. Nali is mentioned in the book of Mazarbul as being killed at Moria, I believe.

[alaklondewen]

Yes! Sophia, I just did a Snoopy dance for you. smilies/biggrin.gif Please, continue.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

it's been a few days, but here goes smilies/smile.gif

Lenwe
Olwe
Earwen
Indis
Denethor
Cirdan

[Lindolirian]

Lenwë was the only one who never crossed the Blue Mountains and entered Beleriand.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Nope nope smilies/biggrin.gif

Sophia

[Annunfuiniel]

All the others were Teleri-elves whereas Indis was of the Vanyar.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Bingo smilies/smile.gif

Your go Annun...

[Lindolirian]

It's been ten days...
Aragorn
Aghan
Luthien
Frodo
Elrond

[Arwen Imladris]

Aghan because he is the only one who I haven't heard of before? The only one that isn't mentioned in the Lord of the Rings?

[Lindolirian]

Well I wasn't looking for what people had heard of or not, so no, that's not it.

[Arwen Imladris]

Luthien because she is the only girl?

[Lalaith]

Elrond is the only one who has immortality?

[Lindolirian]

It's a bit more in depth than that.

[Faenaduial]

Aghan - Only charachter not mentioned in LoTR. He's in the Unfinished Tales - The Faithful Stone.

[The Saucepan Man]

Frodo is the odd one out as he is the only one who is not recorded as having healing skills or as having healing anybody.

Aragorn part-healed Frodo after the attack on Weathertop, and also healed Faramir, Merry and Eowyn in the Houses of Healing.

Aghan healed his brother, who had been wounded by Orcs.

Luthien healed Beren after his hand (plus Silmaril) was bitten off by Carcharoth.

Elrond no doubt healed many, Frodo not least among them.

[Lalaith]

*bump*
I want to know if Saucepan was right!
Lindolirian, where are you?

[Lindolirian]

Saucepan Man is correct. Sorry it took so long, I had lost my access to my computer.

[The Saucepan Man]

OK, a nice easy one ...

Farmer Maggot
Frodo Baggins
Fredegar Bolger
Hamfast Gamgee
Meriadoc Brandybuck

[Lindolirian]

Hamfast has never crossed the Brandywine.
Gosh, that's gotta stink. smilies/wink.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

Nope.

[Tinuviel Took]

All but Farmer Maggot have lived in Hobbiton?

[Lalaith]

All but Maggot attended the Long Expected Party?

[The Saucepan Man]

No, neither of those.

How come when I think a question is magnificently evilly difficult, it is answered straight away, and yet when I think it is fairly straightforward, it lingers around for ages? smilies/confused.gif smilies/wink.gif

[Arestevana]

smilies/confused.gif Fredegar was the only one who did not participate in the Battle of Bywater, or the "scouring of the shire" as the chapter was called, I believe. Wish me luck. This is my first post! smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Arestevana]

smilies/tongue.gif It's not this easy, is it? That Frodo was the only one to bear the one ring? Or to have direct contact with a Nazgul?
(Hamfast on the evening of Frodo's departure, Merry at Minas Tirith, Fatty at the house in Crickhollow, and Farmer Maggot at his home before the hobbits arrive--I'm not including the roadside attack on the fouir hobbits before they left the Shire)
Or to enter Valinor? Or to enter the Black Land?

[The Saucepan Man]

Welcome to the Downs, Arestevana. smilies/smile.gif

You came very close to the answer in your last post ...

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Hamfast was the only one who didn't know about the ring? Or perhaps to not know what the Nazgul were?

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Well, this isn't at all close to what Arestevana said, but, wnyhow- Merry is the only one without an 'F' in his name? smilies/tongue.gif

~Menelien

[The Saucepan Man]

No and no. Getting colder.

[Lalaith]

Fatty was the only one not to speak to a Nazgul?

[The Saucepan Man]

That's close enough for me. Lalaith. Well done. smilies/smile.gif

I was actually thinking that they all interacted with Nazgul except Fatty, who only saw them moving in the shadows outside Crickhollow before running to raise the alarm. The Gaffer and Farmer Maggot both spoke with Ringwraiths, while Frodo and Merry fought with them.

[Lalaith]

Oh, I feel guilty now, it was Arestevana who gave me the idea about Nazgul.

Anyway, here goes...

Legolas
Boromir
Sam
Aragorn
Merry

[Eruanna]

I have to go for the obvious....Boromir is the odd one out, as he dies before the end of the story. smilies/wink.gif

[Arestevana]

Legolas is the only Elf?
Sam was the only one to bear the one ring?
Boromir was the only one that didn't die of natural causes?
Legolas the only one without a title? (king, mayor, Master, heir of the steward) smilies/wink.gif

[Lalaith]

No. All perfectly valid but not what I'm thinking of.
If it helps:
what all the people - except the odd one out - have in common is something specific. It doesn't apply to anyone else. (If you see what I mean) And it's in FotR.

[Tinuviel Took]

Legolas the only one without a title? (king, mayor, Master, heir of the steward)

Umm... how about heir of the king of mirkwood?

To make this legal:
Legolas is the only one with a bow?
Boromir is the only one from the south?

[Lalaith]

No.
As I said before, the person is odd man out not because of what he is, but what he isn't.

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Don't have the book with me, so I can't be sure, but I don't think Legolas actually ever came into physical contact with an orc in FotR... that's rather vague, though.

~Menelien

[Lalaith]

No. smilies/smile.gif

[Eruanna]

Legolas, because he is not a hobbit or a man?

[Lalaith]

No.
It's something all but one on the list can do.

[Nerindel]

Sam is the only one who can't handle a boat?

[ May 22, 2003: Message edited by: Nerindel ]

[kimli]

I would say something similar to Nerindel, Sam can not swim?

[Lalaith]

Kimli, I'm sure Sam couldn't swim either, but Nerindel has the answer I was thinking of. Well done, your go!

[Nerindel]

Sorry this took so long, but I totally forgot I posted here, (Nerindel grovels to her fellow quizzers to forgive her) anyway here go's.

Beren
Maglor
Maedhros
Morgoth
Frodo
Gelmir

good luck smilies/biggrin.gif

[ May 27, 2003: Message edited by: Nerindel ]

[Finwe]

Morgoth is the odd man out because all the others were for the "side of the light" whereas he was the original Dark Lord.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Maglor was the only one whose eventual fate was unknown.

[Arestevana]

Gelmir was the only one never to carry the light of a Silmaril.
Beren- that's a bit obvious
Maglor- Stole one, threw it in the sea.
Maedhros- Stole another, died with it
Morgoth- Also obvious
Frodo- The light was in his phial.

[Nerindel]

These thing are all true but not what I'm looking for smilies/biggrin.gif

Hint:
think of what they lost, only one did not lost any of what the others lost

smilies/eek.gif hope that makes sense smilies/frown.gif


Edit: Sophia just noticed your post your close right name but thats not the reason I'm looking for smilies/wink.gif

[Arestevana]

Oh, thanks for the hint smilies/biggrin.gif
Maglor didn't lose any parts of his body.
Gelmir- eyes, hands, feet, head
Frodo- finger
Beren- hand
Maedhros- hand
Morgoth-foot

[Nerindel]

Awww poor Sophia smilies/frown.gif

But you got the right reason Arestevanna, so go ahead it's your turn smilies/biggrin.gif

[Arestevana]

Hope this is hard enough. smilies/biggrin.gif
Cuthalion
Elured
Khim
Brandir
Lorindol

[Frodo2968thewhite]

Cuthalion is a weapon?

[The Saucepan Man]

No idea who Lorindol is, but I'll take a guess on Elured on the basis that the others were all slain by Turin or men under his command.

[Nerindel]

yeah sauce man I was thinking the same until I found this:

Lórindol- Epithet applied to Hador for his golden hair

And I'm quite sure Hador was slain during the battle of sudden flame, while defending Eithel Sirion. smilies/wink.gif

But they are related Hador's son Galdor married Hareth and their sons were Húrin and Huor, and Túrin was Húrin's son (shrugs)

so I agree that Elured is the odd man out, but maybe it's just because the others are all some way connected to Túrin????

[Arestevana]

No, no, and no. smilies/evil.gif

[Elentarimir]

My dear friend Arestevana.....

.....you have me totally stumped. smilies/mad.gif

Ah, oh well, I'll just go out on a limb here and say Brandir. If I'm right, PLEASE tell me why, because that was just a guess. smilies/wink.gif

[Lasgalen]

Brandir because he is lame?

[Arestevana]

You'll have to be closer than that, Elentarimir! smilies/biggrin.gif Sorry, Lasgalen, that's not it.

[Elentarimir]

*sighs*.....*sighs*.....

Well then, I'll guess Khim. I still have no idea who it is, so I'll be quite surprised if I'm right...I need you to put a stamper on my wild answer Arestevana.

[Arestevana]

I need a reason. The reason is pretty specific, so just a person won't do. The answer is in the Silm. if you read a little about each individual, you'll get it. smilies/eek.gif That was a big hint!

[Lasgalen]

Cuthalion because his is the only name that means a weapon (strongbow)?

[Arestevana]

No. It isn't something about them that makes them different, it's something about everyone else. Something that happened to everyone else.

[Elentarimir]

OK, I think I've got it.

It's either Elured or Lorindol. They were the only ones not slain by Turin or his companions.

My final guess would be Elured.

Am I right? smilies/eek.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

Well, Elentarimir, that was the wrong answer when I gave it, so I would imagine that it is still wrong. smilies/wink.gif

Is it that they were all killed by those who were not servants of Morgoth (ie by Elves and Men), except Hador Lorindol who was killed by Orcs?

[Eruanna]

Is Beleg Cuthalion the odd "man" out?
His was the only accidental death; he was killed in error by a friend. All of the others were slain by enemies.

[Elentarimir]

Ooh, I know the answer!!!!!!

Unfortunately, I can't tell you people because Arestevana told me not to.

[Manardariel]

Cuthalion
Elured
Khim
Brandir
Lorindol

Elured was the only one to not appear in the Narn i Hin Hurin?

Beleg (Cuthalion) is the only full elf? Elured, being Dior´s son, was half-elven y some percentage, Brandir and Lorindol are men and Khim is a dwarf.

Khim because he is the only one with an add to his name?
Cuthalion- Beleg
Elured- this COULD also be Dior, as it means "Elu´s heir"
Khim
Brandir- "the lame"
Lorindel- Hador

[The Barrow-Wight]

Please continue this game in a new thread. I am closing the long ones in an effort to conserve bandwidth.

Thanks!

[Manardariel]

Mr Barrow-wight asked us to continue somewhere else, soooo HERE WE ARE! smilies/smile.gif

Current question is:

Cuthalion
Elured
Khim
Brandir
Lorindol

[Manardariel]

Elured was the only one to not appear in the Narn i Hin Hurin?

Beleg (Cuthalion) is the only full elf? Elured, being Dior´s son, was half-elven y some percentage, Brandir and Lorindol are men and Khim is a dwarf.

Khim because he is the only one with an add to his name?
Cuthalion- Beleg
Elured- this COULD also be Dior, as it means "Elu´s heir"
Khim
Brandir- "the lame"
Lorindel- Hador

[Lasgalen]

Elured because he is the only one not slain by a weapon?

[Arwen Imladris]

Eluréd: The only half elf, half Maia?

Lórindol: The only one with golden hair?
The only one who was not killed by a sword?

By the way, Elured was lost, with his younger brother Elurín, in the assault on Doriath by the Sons of Fëanor. This probebly means that he was killed by a weapon.

[Arestevana]

Saucepan, you may continue if you wish. You were so close! Lorindol was the odd one out. It was because the people who killed him did not regret it later. Give us another! smilies/biggrin.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

Borondir
Celeborn
Cirion
Dunhere
Tuor
Wormtongue

smilies/evil.gif

[Lasgalen]

Celeborn is the only Elf on the list. The rest are Men.

[Lyra Greenleaf]

Surely not? Not after he put an evil face at the end! There would seem to be a Rohan connection, but I just can't think of it- so out of desperation:

Only Tuor sailed into the West?
Only Dunhere died in battle?
Only Tuor has no other name or title? (He wasn't Lord of anywhere, or known as anything else like Borondir was the Rider of the Last Hope)

[ June 08, 2003: Message edited by: Lyra Greenleaf ]

[Arwen Imladris]

This is comeing from nowhere, just so ya know. smilies/smile.gif

Borondir:
Only rider from Gondor?
Only one to present the Seal of the Stewards to Eorl?
The only one who did not have a leadership position?

Celeborn:
The only Elf from Doriath?
The only one who was married?
The only Lord?
The only one who had nothing to do with Rohan?


Or did you mean The White Tree that grew in the central regions of Tol Eressëa?
The only tree?
The only one from Galathilion?

Cirion:
The only Ruling Steward of Gondor?

Dunhere:
The only captain?

Tuor:
The only one who journeyed to Nevrast?
The only one who spoke to Ulmo?

Wormtongue:
The only counsellor to Théoden?
The only spy of Saruman?

[The Saucepan Man]

None of the above. smilies/tongue.gif

[Lalaith]

Tuor never heard Rohirric spoken. (It hadn't been invented when he left ME)

[Lasgalen]

Wormtongue for he was the only one allied with Saruman?

[Elentarimir]

Wormtongue because he is the only evil one?

(this is kinda similar to other posts but it's my guess!)

[The Saucepan Man]

No, there is no correct answer yet.

Hint: This is not to do with what the characters did or didn't do. It is about where they may be found. smilies/evil.gif

[Lyra Greenleaf]

Wormtongue's not in the Silmarilion?

[Lalaith]

Dunhere is the only one not mentioned outside LotR?

[The Saucepan Man]

Wormtongue's not in the Silmarilion?

Neither are some of the others listed.

Dunhere is the only one not mentioned outside LotR?

He is mentioned outside LotR.

But you are both very much on the right track ... smilies/smile.gif

[Turambar]

Dunhere is not mentioned in Unfinished Tales ?

[The Saucepan Man]

Dunhere is not mentioned in Unfinished Tales?

He is mentioned in The Battles of the Fords of Isen.

But you are getting very warm now.

[Turambar]

Borondir is the only one not found in both LotR and UT ? smilies/eek.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

Correct! Borondir is in UT only, whereas the others are in both. Well done, Turambar. smilies/smile.gif

The thread is yours ...
