A New Game!
 

I have a new game!!!! I will ask a series of 10 questions (one at a time), and when someone gets it right, I will give them a point and I will ask another question. After 10 questions whoever has the most points gets to ask the next series of questions. Here is the first one:

1)How many children did Sam and Rose have?

He was originally a Maia, a servant of Aulë, but he took different forms throughout his life.

well, everyone always makes a big commotion about maiar and valar because those are "job descriptions" so im gonna say Ainur?

Sauron was indeed a Maia, Pallando! way to go

6)Who were the 2 Elves who tried to persuade Isildur to destroy the Ring??

Pallando B.C-2
the real findorfin-1

Elrond and Gil-galad?
(i thoguth i would just jump in is that okay?)

Elrond is correct, but Gil-Galad was already dead by then, was it galadriel?

Elrond and Círdan.

Yes, it was Elrond and Cirdan. And yes Lady_Bain, anyone is free to jump in. The more the merrier! Next!

7)What were the names of the Three, who kept each, and what was each one's stone and element?

score:

Diamond18-1

Vilya - Ring of Air - made of gold and has a sapphire - Gil-Galad then to Elrond.

Narya - Ring of Fire - red stone - Cirdan to gandalf - power to strengthen hearts.


nenya - Ring of Water - Mithril with white stone - galadriel.

Vilya (Gil-Galad's/Elrond's) had a sapphire, Narya (Gandalf's/Cirdan's) had a ruby, and Nenya (Galadriel's) had Adamant. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Very good, both of you! the real findorfin got to it first, though, and he said the elements so he gets it. Nice try though, Petit!

8)Who were Lomian's parents, and how did they die?

score:
Raefindel-1
Pallando B.C-2

Diamond18-1

Lomion = Maeglin so his parents were Aredhel and Eol. Aredhel died when Eol threw a poison dart at Maeglin and she jumped in the way. Eol's death was soon after as he was thrown from Caragdur on Turgon's orders.

Hmm...nice way to build up ones posts gralin.. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

How about... Pippin? I should have brought my books with me! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Merry, Pippin, Frodo.
Using Common Sense, as Sam wasn't really related to any of them, so it must be those 3. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Oh, it was asking for 3. Well, I feel DUMB! And I also agree with Petit. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Well, he really should have asked for 4, since Bilbo is related to her as well. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[ December 12, 2002: Message edited by: Diamond18 ]

Hear hear! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

The three I was talking about were Pippin, Frodo, and Bilbo, but of course Merry is in there too. So you each get a point.
