Cheers.

Which dwarf was most surprised at Bilbo's reappearance from the goblin tunnels?

Tuor of Gondolin · 01-31-2006, 11:12 AM

Balin?

Kath · 01-31-2006, 02:14 PM

That's it.

Tuor of Gondolin · 02-01-2006, 07:09 AM

Okay:

What did some elves in TH suggest
Thorin and Company's ponies were lacking?

Firefoot · 02-01-2006, 02:56 PM

Shoeing, I think?

Tuor in Gondolin · 02-02-2006, 11:29 AM

Correct. Firefoot's turn.

Firefoot · 02-02-2006, 03:36 PM

Which troll lost a tooth?

Raynor · 02-02-2006, 03:49 PM

It was Tom

.

Thinlómien · 03-21-2006, 01:07 PM

Well, it has been over 10 days, so I'm going to re-activate this thread, if you don't mind.

Who of the dwarves said he'd never eat apples again?

Kath · 03-21-2006, 04:37 PM

I believe it was Fili.

Thinlómien · 03-22-2006, 10:04 AM

You're correct.

Kath · 03-22-2006, 01:47 PM

Thanks

Next:
What was Bill's surname? (That's Bill the troll.)

JennyHallu · 03-22-2006, 01:49 PM

Huggins!

Kath · 03-22-2006, 02:04 PM

Yup!

JennyHallu · 03-22-2006, 02:22 PM

5 members of the Fellowship in LotR are related to characters encountered in The Hobbit...

Who are they, what character in The Hobbit are they related to, and how?

Kath · 03-22-2006, 02:33 PM

Frodo is related to Bilbo - nephew.
Legolas to Thranduil - son.
Gimli to Gloin - son.
Merry to Bilbo - I can't quite work it out, second cousin?
Pippin to Bilbo - second cousin (if the above is correct).

JennyHallu · 03-22-2006, 02:41 PM

I forgot all the hobbits were related. (I only had Merry. Or Pippin. Just now I can't remember which one I'd thought of) So, there is one more Fellowship member related to a Hobbit character, and then I'll give you the thread.

Kath · 03-22-2006, 02:42 PM

Umm, well there's Gandalf - he's in both!

JennyHallu · 03-22-2006, 02:45 PM

Nope. Appearing in both stories doesn't count. The relationship I'm looking for is much less close than the others.

Kath · 03-22-2006, 03:00 PM

Is it in some way familial?

JennyHallu · 03-22-2006, 03:46 PM

Yup! (sorry for the delay, commute)

Kath · 03-22-2006, 03:48 PM

Well there's a rather tenuous one, that Aragorn is Elrond's adopted son and Elrond of course is in The Hobbit.

JennyHallu · 03-22-2006, 05:26 PM

It's Aragorn and Elrond, but more than simply adopted son...although only in Elfin terms could it be defined as a relationship...

Elros and Elrond are brothers, and Aragorn is descended from Elros. And Aragorn is (at least by the end of the book) Elrond's son-in-law...but adopted son is a very real relationship, not tenuous at all,

And the thread is yours.

Kath · 03-22-2006, 05:31 PM

Hey 4/5 is close! Thanks

Next:
What is finer than flying? At least according to Bilbo.

Eldar14 · 03-23-2006, 11:29 AM

"A warm bath and late breakfast on the lawn afterwards"

Kath · 03-23-2006, 11:35 AM

That's it! And I quite agree.

Eldar14 · 03-23-2006, 11:48 AM

Who led the Goblins at the Battle of the Five Armies?

Kath · 03-23-2006, 05:24 PM

Bolg?

Eldar14 · 03-23-2006, 05:55 PM

Correct, Kath

Kath · 03-23-2006, 05:57 PM

From which city did the swords taken from the trolls lair come?

Eldar14 · 03-27-2006, 11:51 PM

Are the swords from Gondolin?

Kath · 03-28-2006, 08:14 AM

Correct Eldar!

AragornII · 04-20-2006, 10:17 PM

Since more than ten days have passed, I'll ask a new question.

What instrument does Thorin play at Bilbo's house?

Taralphiel · 04-22-2006, 09:24 PM

*has to double-cheher memory with a glance at the book*

A harp!

AragornII · 04-23-2006, 07:53 AM

Yeah, you got it.

Taralphiel · 04-24-2006, 03:19 AM

I hope this one isn't too easy

How many of Thorin & Co's ponies did Smaug confess to eating?

AragornII · 04-25-2006, 07:09 PM

I would have to guess that Smaug ate... six ponies?

Taralphiel · 04-25-2006, 07:14 PM

Right you are!
