3 points your way!

2 points: why are Dwarf men and women almost impossible to tell apart?

I bid 2 points and say because they have beards

2 points: The women both look and sound like men.

I'll bid 2 points and say because they look and sound like the men and they have beards!

I'm going to give it to NightKnight because saying they look alike would imply that they have beards.

Points Tallied

Thank you.

For 3 points: What did Fram send to the dwarves after killing Scatha?

His teeth (the dragon's, not Fram's) ;)

Yes. It's a funny thought, seeing the dwarves getting Fram's teeth. :D

1 point for Evisse!

Oh darn it! I forgot to bet. :( Oh well. Let this be a lesson to you all...

For 2 points: What is the dwarves' battle cry and what does it mean?

I'll bet two points and say "Khazad! Khazad! Khazad ai-menu!" meaning "Dwarves! Dwarves! The Dwarves are upon you!"- this is from the Appendix.

Or do you mean the one from Gimli's shout at Helm's Deep- "Baruk Khazad! Khazad Ai-menu!" ("Axes of the Dwarves! The Dwarves are upon you!")?

Correct! It's the second one that I had in mind (and that is in the appendix also). Carry on!

For 1 point: What is the name of Balin's father?

Sorry for such an easy question- I can't think of a harder one at the moment :).

I'll take the points I can get... ;)

I bid 1 point: Fundin.

Yep :). Barely needed to confirm it, did I?

Not really. :)

2 points: Why did Aulë make the Dwarves?

Because he was impatient and didn't want to have to wait.
Oh yes, bidding 1 point because I'm guessing here.

That'll do.

Woohoo!
OK an easy one cos I'm out of time:
For two points
How long was the journey of the dwarves to the Lonely Mountain?

Fingolfin II - 2
Firefoot - 1
Kath - 1

I'll add those to the score!

10 day rule! :D I've been counting down the days. Anyways, for 1 point, what was the name of the dwarf present at the Battle of Pelennor Fields?

I bid one point and say Gimli!

Correct :D Your turn!

For two Points:

What Elven race did the Dwarves interact with, and learn form the most?

I'll bid 2 points: the Noldor?

For 2 points, Noldor?

EDIT: D'oh! Stupid Firefoot :')

Oh hey dol! Looks like Firefoot beat you to it! You're up!

Just who are you calling stupid? Are you trying to pick a fight with me? ;)

Thanks, Bombadil.

2 points: what did the Dwarves call Gandalf?

I'll say Tharkûn, Staff man, and I bid 2 points!

Correct!

Yay! 2 more points for me! Anyways, for 1 point, what is another name for Erebor?

1 point: The Lonely Mountain, of course!

of course

For 2 points: How many dwarves did it take to carry Bombur at the time of the Council of Elrond?

For 2, I'll say 6!

NightKnight? You need to answer this so we can get on with the next month.

I'm really sorry, but I've been away and unable to access BD. But you're right. :)

Right! 2 more points for me! That means...the June 04 winner is...

~*~ THE PERKY ENT ~*~

The current standings are So much for Firefoot's winning streak. Anyways, here's the first question for July, which I feel will be a short month. Anyways, I like doing questions like this:

For 1 point: John R. (can't spell his middle name) Davies send who to get a tattoo in his place?
