Second Age? Yes.
Man (as in race)? No.
Living? Yes.
Elf? No.
Dwarf? No.
Auinu? No.
Olvar? No.

What could it be? Yess. We wonders, preciouss.
Is it tricksy? Is it scrumptious? Is it good to eat?
We knows, but we won't say, oh no.
They'll have to guess.

Ent?

Ent?
An astute guess. Showing a
knowledge of early Middle-earth ages.
But...no. :(

Snow-men of Forochel(i think) ?


EDIT: that i do Firefoot... many thanks again

Evil?

Gil, I think you mean Forochel...

Ent?
Nope.

Snow-men of Forochel
No.

Evil?
Not so.

Plant? :confused:

Thorondir???
________
How to roll blunts

Plant?
No.
Thorondir???
No.

Yes. This is tricksy, precious. They canst figure
it out.

But is it a legitimate poser, we wonders.

Yesss. But will they cheats by insisting on asking
several questions , like Thief Baggins?

(Further questions can be asked, but I probably
won't get to them before Tuesday).

I ain't givin' up yet.
 

;) We likes tricksy questions, yes.

Does it have a gender (not is it known; does it have one)?

Does it have a gender (not is it known; does it have one)?

Yes. It/they do.

Is it a single living thing rather than a group?

Is it a single living thing rather than a group?

No. It's a group. (That should be a bit of a hint).

Was any part of it ever in Numenor?

Was any part of it ever in Numenor?

Yes. At least some of the group was definitely in Numenor.

Are the members of the group able to talk?

Are the members of the group able to talk?
Yes.

Cheap question...
 

Is it in the Sil?

Cheap question...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it in the Sil?

Actually a rather good question. But I don't have The
Silmarillion with me so I'll have to check later to see
whether I located the topic there or in another work,
and if I didn't find it in The Silmarillion, is a mention also in
The Silmarillion.

Okay. I've checked Firefoot 's question and,
as far as I can see it's not in The Silmarillion. I
found the reference in another work.

Btw, as a general rule I think it would be too easy
and mechanical to allow questions as to what book
something is in, since it could progress to "Is it in a
given chapter?", "Between pages so-and-so?", etc. But
in this case I'd say it's a valid line of question, especially
since the group/incident I'm thinking of is only mentioned,
as far as I can determine, in one not overly obvious place,
although it is a valid bit.

Third Age? Yes. Highly probable.
First Age? No.
Second Age? Yes.
Man (as in race)? No.
Living? Yes.
Elf? No.
Dwarf? No.
Auinu? No.
Olvar? No.
Ent? Nope.
Snow-men of Forochel No.
Evil? Not so.
Plant? No.
Thorondir??? No.

Yes. At least some of the group was definitely in Numenor.
Are the members of the group able to talk? Yes.
In The Silmarillion? No.

I don't think it's ever gotten quite that specific. Asking about the book is usually about as specific as I've seen it go. :)

Not in the Sil, then... UT?

I hope so...

Not in the Sil, then... UT?
YES! :cool:

But it's still tricksy. If you're trawling for it be warned, it took
me almost half an hour yesterday to "refind" it.

Peachy... (strange word, that.)

Did any of the group ever have contact with Aldarion?

Did any of the group ever have contact with Aldarion?

As the elves might say, both yes and no.
Let's say a subset of the group did, but I'm
thinking of another event involving a subset of the group,
and not including all of the former group that had contact
with Aldarion. (wish I knew what I just said) :)

Look. It happened later! :D

ENORMOUS HINT (well, sort of)
What was the nature of this group? Who were they?

Hm...

Are they a group because of what sort of thing (creature? race?) they are?

Are they a group because of what sort of thing (creature? race?) they are?
Yes. They're all of the same race.

But what could it be, we wonders. Isn't man, or hobbit,
or nassty elves with bright swords, or entses,
or Snow-men's, is it, preciouss?

Are they mortal?

Are they mortal?
Yes.

Are they significant in any wars?

Are they Spiders?

Are they significant in any wars?
As the elves would say, both yes and no. :D

They are enemies and fighters against especially orcs, but
I don't believe there are reports that they ever
fought in large scale wars.

Are they Spiders?
No. :eek:

I should have asked this a long time ago.

The Druedain?

I should have asked this a long time ago.

The Druedain?

Yes. And yes.
But a more specific answer is required. :)

I'm a little confused.
 

The Druedain that came west with the Atani?

Eh?

That prevented me asking this a long time ago. :rolleyes:

I understand. But it seemed to me to answer "yes"
would have been more deceptive. Even in UT
it seems a grey area. While they were admitted to the rank of the Atani,
it also says: Despite the views of the Elder, it seems a question whether they
were, indeed, a seperate free people. Could there even be interbreeding?

Yeah, that's sort of what I thought, too, Sauce. The other thing that has me going is the "First Age? No."

The clue is in the name:

Druedain

;)

Well, then. Anyone who's interested can continue
this game. I suggest Firefoot.

Okay, guess away...

Is it alive?
