Gwaihir the Windlord 07-27-2003 02:39 AM

Oh, right, thanks. Sorry about that, a windlord is also quite the difficult bugger when it comes to getting his attention from all the way up...

What were the various colours of Gandalf's fire-pinecones?

Ophelia 07-27-2003 04:49 AM

Let me guess .... Firstly he threw a blue lighted pinecone and there followed more blue lighted ones , red and green lighted ones too .
Did I guess right ? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Fyara 02-11-2004 03:35 PM

yes im pretty sure you got that one right because that is what i remember

symestreem 03-14-2004 06:36 PM

Ten day rule.

New question: what was the color of the handkerchief that Bilbo borrowed from Elrond?

luthien-elvenprincess 03-15-2004 05:55 PM

Red silk:)

symestreem 03-16-2004 06:04 PM

Correct. :)
I can't picture Elrond with a red silk handkerchief. Maybe it was one of those Father's Day gifts where they smile and tell the kids it's just what they wanted. Maybe that's why Elrond didn't mind loaning it. ;)

luthien-elvenprincess 03-17-2004 05:51 PM

he-he, somehow I have trouble picturing Elves with red clothing. I associate more subdued colors with them.:rolleyes:

An easy ?

What did Fili hope he never smelled again?

symestreem 03-17-2004 06:44 PM

Don't even have to go to the book for that one- its apples!

luthien-elvenprincess 03-17-2004 09:39 PM

I gave warning that it was easy!:p I was in a hurry.
You are correct!

symestreem 03-28-2004 02:55 PM

D'oh!
 
Sorry, I forgot about this thread! Next question:
Where is my copy of the Hobbit? No, no, I mean,
Smaug was ______ wealthy.

Nilpaurion Felagund 03-30-2004 01:22 AM

...O Smaug the unassesably wealthy...

(The Hobbit 12 - emphasis mine)
:)

symestreem 03-30-2004 08:36 AM

*nods* Go ahead.

Nilpaurion Felagund 03-31-2004 09:08 PM

Name all the titles of Bilbo that he mentioned before Smaug. [insert evil smiley here]

Firefoot 04-01-2004 06:24 AM

*takes a big breath* "I come from under the hill, and under the hills and over the hillls my paths led. And through the air. I am he that walks unseen" "I am the clue-finder, the web-cutter, the stinging fly. I was chosen for the lucky number." "I am he that buries friends alive and drowns them and draws them alive again from water. I came from the end of a bag, but no bag went over me." "I am the friend of bears and the gurest of eagles. I am Ringwiner and Luckwearer; and I am Barrel-rider." I think that's it.

Hey, has anyone else noticed that the order of the smilies in the box changes?

Nilpaurion Felagund 04-04-2004 09:34 PM

*nods* Go ahead.

Firefoot 04-05-2004 06:07 AM

How about an easy one - which dwarf dropped Bilbo in the Goblins' caves and caused him to be lost?

luthien-elvenprincess 04-05-2004 06:32 AM

Dori was carrying Bilbo.

Firefoot 04-05-2004 06:33 AM

Yeppers.

luthien-elvenprincess 04-05-2004 07:45 PM

Gandalf couldn't resist having the last word...where, and what did he say?

Firefoot 04-06-2004 08:03 AM

Just before he left the dwarves going into Mirkwood he said "Good-bye! Be good, take care of yourselves - and DON'T LEAVE THE PATH!"

luthien-elvenprincess 04-06-2004 04:47 PM

Accurate answer!

Firefoot 04-07-2004 06:13 AM

What instrument did each of the Dwarves play?

Saraphim 04-07-2004 11:19 AM

Here goes:
Thorin: harp
Fili & Kili: fiddles
Dori, Nori & Ori: flutes
Bombur: drum
Bifur & Bofur: clarinets
Dwalin & Balin: viols

I cannot find anywhere that Oin and Gloin had instruments of any kind.

Firefoot 04-07-2004 12:56 PM

Yes.

Saraphim 04-07-2004 02:38 PM

Yes! Ok, here's my question:

Upon entering Rivindell, what do the Elves warn Bilbo not to do, and why?

Bombadil 04-07-2004 02:50 PM

to not eat all the cakes?

Saraphim 04-07-2004 11:24 PM

Right! :D

Bombadil 04-08-2004 09:44 AM

What were two insulting names Bibo called the spiders?

Arestevana 04-08-2004 10:30 AM

I believe 'lazy lob' and 'attercop', were the two he used.

Bombadil 04-08-2004 03:57 PM

correct :D

(also one of my favorites not mentioned- tomnoddy)

Saraphim 04-16-2004 04:28 PM

Easy Question...
 
Ok, its been ten days, so here goes:

What were the four things Gollum guessed were in Bilbo's pocket?

Orcrist 04-18-2004 08:42 PM

Hmmmm...
 
I believe it was handses, knife, string, or nothing.

Saraphim 04-19-2004 03:26 PM

Right-o Orcrist!

Orcrist 04-19-2004 08:22 PM

Here's one...
 
Name the Dwarves' raven messenger.

NightKnight 04-20-2004 01:18 PM

Roac.

Orcrist 04-20-2004 08:10 PM

Annnnnnd...
 
You are correct!!!

NightKnight 04-21-2004 03:19 AM

How many teeth does Gollum have?

Sirithheruwen 04-21-2004 07:16 AM

Six.

NightKnight 04-21-2004 08:04 AM

Yup.

Sirithheruwen 04-21-2004 02:32 PM

What are the runes that Elrond found next to the plain runes called, and why could he see them?
