I would like to start a new thread that pertains to the book the Hobbit. I will put a question out for everybody:
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Who was the only dwarf who volunteered to venture at least partway into Smaugs lair with Bilbo?

Re: Trivia in the Hobbit

Add to the above list Azog, Bolg, the king of Gondolin (who we now know as Turgon), King Bladorthin, the Master of Laketown, a non-specific king mentioned by Gandalf early on and arguably Beorn and the Necromancer are mentioned as lords of some sort.

Re: Trivia in the Hobbit

Since Mithadan has got the most difficuolt one (Bladorthin), I'll pass him the turn, even considering he has fogotten Elrond <img src=tongue.gif ALT=":b"> . Ask away, Mithadan!

Whwn Bilbo brought the Arkenstone to the Elvenking and bard. After that, when he was returning to the mountain, he met Gandalf.

Re: Trivia in the Hobbit

well, he also &quot;offers&quot; him a good morning, but that seems like a silly answer. He asks for his pardon, but that really isnt an offer. . .hmmmmm. . .
