Unfortunately, I am not a nasty little underground creature.

It is B) a literary term.

Legate of Amon Lanc 02-06-2008 08:27 AM

C it is!:)

Over to you.

Thinlómien 02-08-2008 06:10 PM

Yes, I'm lurking around this thread at times, but you two are impossible: most of the time you're too quick and when you aren't, you're too difficult. :D ;)

What is the main difference between Olog-hai and Stone trolls?

Olog-hai do not turn into stone in the sun.

Manwathiel 02-11-2008 02:19 PM

correct!
Over to you...

Legate of Amon Lanc 02-11-2008 03:44 PM

Thank you. But to be precise, the rules of the game on this particular thread are somewhat different - you can read them in the first post of this thread, or you can look what the questions posted here look like.

Anyway, here goes another.

Eämbar was:
A) A ship from Númenor
B) A land in Beleriand
C) A type of poem
D) An elven name for the Encircling Sea

Thinlómien 02-11-2008 03:51 PM

A Guess
 
A)?

Legate of Amon Lanc 02-11-2008 03:56 PM

Indeed. It was the ship of Aldarion's guild.

What are you doing here now? :eek:

Anyway, your thread :)

*sigh* :rolleyes: :) ;)

Anyway, I think the answer is D). I am pretty sure what it is not and about the rest I have no idea and probably no way to discover it, either.

Yes, it is D. Handy hint for question-creating: if you can't think of anything you could ask, invent something that does not exist. :D

Anyway, your thread. :)

Nerwen 02-12-2008 05:32 AM

Legate, for the record: Unferth is a character in Beowulf. That was a very sneaky question.

And, erm, for the record, I knew the name was from somewhere but I couldn't have told you it was from Beowulf... :o ;)

An useful piece of advice. Hope I'm not going to need it soon...

Not that sneaky; unless he was a companion of Ælfwine, it was clear it isn't any of the remaining ones.

Why the red face? ;) You are not here to provide information, but to ask questions (or answer them, for that matter).

All right, a new one:

No, no, it doesn't work that way. :p

I'm a bit torn between two options.

But it is B) a tree, isn't it?

The month one. I think I should learn all the Elvish month and day names just for Quiz Room... :rolleyes: ;)

Nerwen 02-29-2008 05:05 AM

a) a king of Gondor

Thinlómien 02-29-2008 07:39 AM

Yes, exactly. :)

Nerwen 03-04-2008 08:10 AM

B) An Elven celebration.
C) An Elven greeting.

Thinlómien 03-04-2008 08:25 AM

B.

Even though it does sound like a greeting. :D

Nerwen 03-04-2008 08:57 AM

Can't fool you, can I? (Well, not this time, anyway. *cough* firefly-balrogs *cough*)

Over to you.:)

I see I should never have admitted partly falling for it and you should never have won the ww game, just look at what's it doing to you... :p ;) Seriously though, it was not difficult to know that, especially after having played a character whose mother's name was Merethiel and having planned a fan-ficish thing that was very closely related to the feast...

Anyway, back to the topic...

Ladros was:
A) a region in Dorthonion
B) Brandir's kinsman
C) Saeros's father
D) a river in south-western Beleriand

Legate of Amon Lanc 03-05-2008 02:06 PM

The Nemesis is back
 
A), of course, as everyone knows.
