Man of skill [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Is the question here : Who is odd out???
The I say Gandalf for being the only one who stayed true to his quest.

No, it was just to list them in order. By the way didn't Gandalf come last. Still good answer but wrong question.

Yes, I think he got off the boat last. It said something about Cirdan greeting them and Gandalf came last, that's when Cirdan gave him the Elven ring telling he would have a better use for it.

thanks for backing me up pal

Sorry - my misreading the previous post - Gandalf came last thats correct but years later and not on the same boat... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

What color is gandalf's hat? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

BLUE [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Grey?

no he had it right. it was blue.you can continue the questioning because he dosnt know enough to make a question. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

It has been more than 7 days, so I will post.

What other names did Alatar and Pallando have and what did they mean?

Come on guys, I know someone here knows this one! Hint, Hint Bruce [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

the Blue Wizards because they wore blue robes...they went into the East and don't really come into the tales

Correct Eowyn! Good job!

alright...I can only think of easy ones coz it must be a month since I've read any of the books [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
what reason did one of the Istari give for not wishing to lead the council?

That would be Mithrandir.

He desired no ties and no allegiance(save the ones who sent him), and he would not abide in any place.

[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] pray continue

Ok, I can't think of a good one at the moment either. But here goes....

Manwe wanted a certain Istati to go. That certain Istari said that he was "to weak for such a task, and that he feared Sauron". In which Manwe replied, "That is all the more reason why you should go".

Who was the "Certain Istari"?

I know its an easy one, but I'm at a loss at the moment! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

That would be Olórin, would it not?

Your right! Hard one, wasn't it?! (; Your turn.

Ok...what did Olórin the Istari give to the Old Took that was quite remarkable?

Cufflinks that never came undone?

Magical diamond studs, which fastened and unfastened on command!

The zifferoo has got it! Close, Dwarin, but they would come undone if ordered so. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Your right! Your turn!

Who were the black wizard, because there was a white one they had to have a black one....... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Seriously though Here is my question:

What did gandalf wear around his neck and what color was it?

A silver scarf.

Scarf? Silver or White?

Sauron was the Black Wizard! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Good job onewhite tree ask away!

A bit obscure, I'll admit, but Istari knowledge is thin. I'm feeling evil, so what the heck? How many stairs were there to the threshold of Saruman's abode, Orthanc?

27! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Excellent! You even get a point for answering with such a big toothy grin.

Thanks for the point!

Ok......

Who had "raven hair and a fair voice"?

Radagast?
