Bombur was the most exhausted from being pinched and prodded, but Balin seemed the least drowsy since he had enough wits about him to follow Bilbo's plan.

Lindo - 5
Rune - 3
Tuor - 1

10. Which Dwarf was most often carrying Bilbo around?

An easy one, since Lindo's already won anyway. :cool:

Good gracious, that Dori must have enjoyed being a pack horse. Or grumbling. ;)

Haha, yes. And as you are the winner, please proceed with a new topic.

Of course he wins, the last many question has been asked and answerd in between the times when I was online.

I sence a conspiracy ! ! ! :mad:

No worries Rune, that's the glory of the quizzes: there's always another chance.

The next topic is Elves, but this is gonna be pretty broad. Not just about single Elves, but anything that has to do with them and their culture.

1. What do Elves typically give one another at their betrothal?

Sorry, Rune, I tried to post questions when no one (or more than one person) was online to make it fair.

I know I've heard this before and I think I know where to find it, but unfortunately that would not be a book that I own... So a guess: rings?

More specific?

Um... I think I remember seeing something about silver rings.

So you are testing wether we have read Morgoth’s Ring or not ?

Firefoot: 1

Well Rune, I suppose on that question I was... but this one comes from a different source:

2. Of what house of Gondolin was Duilin?

Wasn't he of the Swallow?

He was.

Firefoot- 1
NK- 1

3. Which Elf built a tower that was never needed?

Finrod built Barad Nimras on the coast of Beleriand, to protect against an attack from the sea.

Yes!

4. What elf was described as a vole?

Mablung, by Glaurung.

He's the one.

NK- 2
Firefoot- 1

7. Name all of the (Elven) outsiders who saw Gondolin.

Eol, Maeglin and (Tuor)

I cant think of anyone els at the moment

Missing one!

Eöl, Maeglin, and . . . Voronwë???

Voronwe had already lived there, so I wouldn't really count him as on outsider.

That is why I did not mention him, but did Luthien not see Gondolin as her and Beren was carried by Thorondor Angband.

Good work Rune!

NK- 2

8. What year was Elrond married?

I just read abaut someone who wantet to write a story about Gothic Elves and they said something about them beeing married in the year 109 of the Third age.

(Elrond and Celebrían were some of the main characters)

Precisely!

10. From whom was the King's Ire witheld?

Beleg ?

Well well, it would appear we have a tie. Rune and Firefoot both have three points.

Tie Breaker: According to some stories, which Elf loved the same woman his grandfather did?

PLEASE No one but Rune son of Bjarne and Firefoot answer.

I know I know!!!! :D

I can't find anything about it, but I think I remember something about Celebrimbor loving Galadriel at some point...?

Hahaha... poor Telchar. :D
Good work, Firefoot: the board is yours!

Thanks, Lindo. *Hands Telchar honorable mention award* And can't forget Rune... *hands Rune a cookie*

Let's try a new topic on Lies, Betrayal, and Deception.

1. Who sold out his companions for what turned out to be a lie?

Gorlim sold out Barahir and his band for the chance of rejoining Eileniel his wife who was actually dead.


PS Rune, gets a cookie and also control of the thread Geography Grilling... ahem. Hehehe ;)

Lindo - 1

2. At this parley, neither side held up his side of the bargain with the intent of ambushing the other.

The parley between Maedhros (and other sons of Feanor) and Morgoth, after Feanor's death?
