moon letters, and elrond saw them because he held it up to the moon

Sirithheruwen · 04-21-2004, 02:51 PM

Yup! Your go!

Bombadil · 04-21-2004, 05:46 PM

Found in the text, give a summary of how the game of golf was invented in ME.

symestreem · 04-21-2004, 06:21 PM

There was an invasion of the Shire by goblins. Bullroarer Took hit the head goblin in the head with a club. The head flew off and landed in a rabbit hole, 'thus ending the battle and inventing the game of golf at the same time'.

Bombadil · 04-22-2004, 08:13 PM

haha! That always makes me laugh! Nice work, you're up.

Orcrist · 05-01-2004, 02:28 PM

On what day were Thorin&Co captured by the goblins and what day did they escape?

luthien-elvenprincess · 05-01-2004, 03:08 PM

Captured on Monday nite or Tuesday morn...escaped on Thursday.

Orcrist · 05-01-2004, 05:58 PM

Kudos to you, luthien-elvenprincess.

luthien-elvenprincess · 05-02-2004, 07:33 AM

Easy one:

Oh my...how embarassing! On the same page even. Well, my excuse is... um...um...maybe you could just proceed really fast and no one will ever see this!
Sorry!

NightKnight · 05-02-2004, 01:07 PM

Lol, don't worry. It wasn't actually on the same page.

Easy one: Name the three that brought Smaug down.

Bombadil · 05-02-2004, 04:25 PM

by 3 IM thinking you mean the chain of 3? So...

Bilbo
The Thrush
Bard

NightKnight · 05-03-2004, 12:27 AM

Absolutely. Your turn.

Bombadil · 05-03-2004, 01:00 PM

What were the colors of the dwarves' hats?

Balin - red
Fili and Kili - blue
Dori and Nori - purple
Ori - gray
Oin - brown

Bombadil · 05-03-2004, 04:47 PM

Firefoot · 05-04-2004, 05:31 AM

When is Durin's day?

NightKnight · 05-04-2004, 06:26 AM

On the first day of the last moon of Autumn.

Firefoot · 05-04-2004, 01:46 PM

Yep.

NightKnight · 05-05-2004, 02:19 PM

What color did the arrow Bard shot Smaug with have?

Sirithheruwen · 05-05-2004, 03:15 PM

Black.

NightKnight · 05-06-2004, 01:30 AM

Yuppers. Very special arrow, that one. Your turn.

Sirithheruwen · 05-06-2004, 03:44 PM

And now, another color question:

What color did the Lake-men of Lake-town think the rivers were going to turn now that the King Under the Mountain had returned?

Bombadil · 05-06-2004, 05:04 PM

dont have book with me, so could be wrong but- black?

Firefoot · 05-06-2004, 05:14 PM

Gold?

Sirithheruwen · 05-10-2004, 04:09 PM

Correct, Firefoot.

Firefoot · 05-10-2004, 05:47 PM

Describe the door at Bag-End.

Sirithheruwen · 05-10-2004, 05:48 PM

Round and green with a doorknob smack dab in the middle!

Firefoot · 05-11-2004, 04:54 AM

Yeppers.

Sirithheruwen · 05-11-2004, 04:12 PM

Describe a hobbit hole. (Straight from the book, if you can.)

Firefoot · 05-11-2004, 04:39 PM

Quote:

Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of womrs and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat. It was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.
It had a perfectly round door like a porthole, painted green, with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle. The door opened on to a tube-shaped hall like a tunnel: a very comfortable hole without smoke, with panelled walls, and floors tiled and carpeted, provided with polished chairs, and lots and lots of pegs for hats and coats- the hobbit was found of visitors. The tunnel wound on and on, going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the hill - The Hill, as all the people for many miles round called it - and many little round doors opened out of it, first on one side and then on another. No going upstairs for this hobbit: bedrooms, bathrooms, cellars, pantries (lots of these), wardrobes (he had whole room devoted to clothes), kitchens, dining-rooms, all were on the same floor, and indeed on the same passage. The best rooms were all on the left-hand side (going in), for these were the only ones to have windows, deep-set round windows looking over his garden, and meadows beyond, sloping down to the river.

Phew!

Sirithheruwen · 05-12-2004, 06:58 AM

Yes! Sorry, I couldn't resist. Go ahead Firefoot!

Firefoot · 05-12-2004, 02:50 PM

When and why did Bilbo name his sword?

NightKnight · 05-12-2004, 03:25 PM

I believe it was in Mirkwood when he was fighting the spiders, and he named it Sting because he was like a stinging bee.

Firefoot · 05-15-2004, 07:32 PM

Yes.

NightKnight · 05-16-2004, 12:54 AM

Why did the three trolls turn into stone?

Fingolfin II · 05-16-2004, 02:32 AM

Because they were caught unawares in the sun, by the wits of Gandalf, who made them argue against each other.

NightKnight · 05-16-2004, 01:03 PM

Yes.

Fingolfin II · 05-17-2004, 01:42 AM

Who was the person that even Bilbo didn't need to be told to fear?
