Re: Odd man out continued...

Frodo never killed anyone in the War of the Ring?

Re: Odd man out continued...

Sam doesn't belong as he's isn't a blood relative.

Was Gandalf the only one to cross the sea both ways?

Re: My last post on this topic.

Please ignore the above. I hadn't realised that there was more than one page, and so was guessing at the last one posted on Page 1.

Re: My last post on this topic.

Only Frodo didn't get married?

So the Universe is not as you thought. You better change the way you think, for you surely cannot change the Universe.

Odd man out continued...

Frodo was the only one with less than ten fingers?

"A little people, but of great worth are the Shire-folk. Little do they know of our long labour for the safekeeping of their borders, and yet I grudge it not."</p>

I'll give a new one:

Thranduil
Gloin
Denethor
Bilbo

Denethor didn't live in a hole, or cave in the ground? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Nope thats not it!

Denethor, he wasn't at the Battle of the 5 Armies.

Nope

HINT: Family

Denethor didn't have a close relative in the Company?

Bilbo didn't have a close relative in the Battle of Pelennor Fields?

Yor are getting pretty close turambar - but Im surprised that you wont call Denethor and Boromir Close relatives [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

how about denethor's son was the only member of the nine walkers to die?? Or Bilbo's Heir was the only member of the company not to be a direct relation?

HINT: FOTR - Book 2 Chapter 2

I'm not going to look it up, but I thought I would say that I would have guessed what Scuzzle said... about Bilbo the only one not being a father.

Oh! Welcome to the Downs, ScuzzleButt!

Hmmm It's so seldom that we see you in here BW so I'll give it to you [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] The Precise answer was that Only Bilbo didn't have a son present at the counsil of Elrond - Proceed, please [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

yes, I'm quite new. Ok, heres an easy one

Denethor
Pipin
Gandalf
Aragorn

Denethor was not a member of the Fellowship
didn't smoke
was not at the Council of Elrond

Pippin was younger than 33

Gandalf was not from Middle Earth

Aragorn was raised in Elven lands

Did I get one [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

ummm, no but you are no where close, Think of something each had in their possesion, at one time or another.

They all held a palantir (even if only for a short moment), but Gandalf was the only one not to look into one.

bingo, we have a winner.

sam wasn't at Bilbo's party? it doesn't say so in the family tree's, where all supposed party guests are underlined.

Turgon
Finwe
Feanor
Finrod

Probably too simple, but -- Finrod had no wife, or child?

Feanor eas never a king?

Finwe was not killed in Beleriand?

These are all good suggestions, but it's a bit trickier. Turambar's suggestion was on the right tracks.

Think of the women in their lives (not necessarily wives).

[ November 21, 2001: Message edited by: Elenhin ]

Finwe was the head of the Noldor.

Was it that only Finrod did not lose a woman he loved, as Turgon lost Elenwë and Finwë and Feanor lost Miriel?

Yep, that's it.

In Finrod's case it was actually other way around - Amarie didn't go to exile, and so she lost him.
(Just by the way, does anyone know whether they got married after Finrod came back from exile through Mandos?)

Frodo - the only one with only nine fingers - or the only one that could speak end understand elvish (to some degree) - or for not producing a bloodline heir.

Fingon
Turgon
Fingolfin
Isildur

3 of them did something in a certain way, the 4th is not recorded to have done so.

Try this one, Telchar - it never got answered. It's not a very good one but give it a try.

I've seen this one before - and I cant seem to get about it...

well - Isildur didn't cross the Grinding Ice og Helkaraxe, but thats too obvious. and He was never High-King of the Noldor.

on the other hand Fingolfin was the only one to be burried???
Give us a hint master [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

It's not a great Q because it has a "subjective" element but 3 of them are renowned for doing something in a certain way and the 4th (hopefully !) is not.

Im at a loss - but I am looking forward to your later revelation of the answer [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I'll just give the answer and we can move on to a better question. Fingon (rescue of Maedhros), Isildur (rescue of a fruit of Nimloth) and Fingolfin (challenge to Morgoth) all undertook a heoic act, ALONE. Turgon is not especially renowned for doing so (at least I don't think so.)

Ask one, Telchar !

Hmm the word resque came to mind, but it didnt fit fingolfin that well, as for heroic hmmm Yes well I always thought it pretty heroic when Turgon Marched to the Nirnaeth, risking the secret of his hidden city... But OK it still was a good question [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Try this one:
Tuor
Elrond
Dior
Celegorm

HINT: it has nothing to do with Family and bloodline.
