Balin? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

~Menelien, swinging on chandeliers

Yes! Balin is correct...Please carry on when you have returned to safety from the unstable chandelier [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

GaladOTO, it's your turn.

*Heaves the thread to the top*

I believe it has been ten days from the last post, so I would like to try an easy one.

What color was the large notice on on Bilbo's gate?

It was a large notice in black and red. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Eruanna's turn.

Thank you. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

How long did Bilbo and company stay in Rivendell on their outward journey?

Indeedy...your go. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Someone else go, as I just lent my copy of the Hobbit to a friend who can't find hers.

Who showed Thorin the Arkenstone?

Bilbo, I believe?

Bard wasn't it? Or Thranduil?

No..try again! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

It was Gandalf who was cloaked and hooded as an old man.

No one showed it to him, he saw it himself.

(I'm wondering if this is a trick question.)

Now Finwe, I would never ask a "trick" question! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] A specific, and interesting "someone" literally "showed" the Arkenstone to Thorin! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Did you see my answer? I really do think it was Gandalf.

Yes! Gandalf (the old man) sorry, I didn't scroll back enough to see your answer! Gandalf (disguised) carried the wooden box, and opened it. Your question Alaklondenwen!

Thank you, Liriodendron!

What was the title given to the political authority in Dale?

It's just king, right?

OOPS! - I know now that it is master - right?

sorry about first reply - I was a little confused

Good! And Welcome to the Downs, Samwise Gamgee! It is now your turn to ask the question. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

OK - I'm not that good at the hobbit - AAHHH!

Well, here's one:

What did the eagle tell Bilbo he "rather looked like?"

A rabbit [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Yup - i thought that was probably too easy!

What did Bilbo twice ask Gandalf for?
[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

a handkerchief?

No [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] try again [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

His pardon?

It sure was [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Your go Beren87 [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Call me Beren, please. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

After Bilbo had escaped from the goblins, what things had he lost?

Ok Beren [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]


His nice brass buttons [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Hmm...quite a bit more. He lists a few things.

ok

Hood, pony, cloak, food, buttons and friends [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

matches - as he discovered in gollums cave, dwarves, wizard, and his way, - as he told gollum

hood, cloak food pony buttons and friends when he finally left the mountains

heheh I forgot about that [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img], he was searching for them so he could light his pipe wasn't he?

Samwise

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

Thanks!

There And Back Again
 

The Hobbit Trivia thread was closed due to its length. And since I rather liked that thread, I wanted to make sure it didn't get forgotten. We can continue here.

Samwise_Gamgee, it was your turn to ask.
