What did Beorn say that gave the goblins some credit?
Sorry if thats a little confusing - it was the only way I could see to say it.

NightKnight · 05-30-2004, 05:13 AM

That they can count?

Kath · 05-30-2004, 12:08 PM

Yep

NightKnight · 05-31-2004, 12:32 PM

They're not totally stupid then.

Why did the eagles help Bilbo, Gandalf and the dwarves?

Morsul the Dark · 05-31-2004, 12:35 PM

alright hmm........my god i need to reread that darn book......gandalf was the friend of the eagle lord.......and had done something what was it lol........well at any rate the eagles were in debt to gandalf?

NightKnight · 05-31-2004, 12:36 PM

Well, what had he done? You need to be a bit more specific...

Morsul the Dark · 05-31-2004, 12:43 PM

hmmmmmm......... thinking.......somehow this thought stays in my mind.......he watched over the eagle lord's nest?

NightKnight · 05-31-2004, 02:07 PM

Nope.

Kath · 05-31-2004, 02:47 PM

Gandalf saved the life of the eagle lords child?

Ophelia · 05-31-2004, 04:03 PM

Quoting the book : ".. he had done the eagles a favour and healed their lord from a wound made by an arrow."
Did I get it right ?

OpheliA

NightKnight · 06-01-2004, 08:48 AM

You certainly did, Ophelia. Please continue.

Ophelia · 06-01-2004, 01:39 PM

Okies , here I go ...
What did Bilbo call Beorn before meeting him ?

Ophelia

Firefoot · 06-01-2004, 01:46 PM

A furrier?

Ophelia · 06-01-2004, 03:03 PM

Yes , but that`s not all . I`d like to hear all of it

OphElia

Firefoot · 06-01-2004, 03:08 PM

Okay - "What! a furrier, a man that calls rabbits conies, when he doesn't turn their skins into squirrels?"

Ophelia · 06-02-2004, 01:39 AM

We have a winner ! Firefoot - you`re on

Ophelia

Firefoot · 06-02-2004, 05:05 AM

Thanks!

In the Goblin caves, what shattered Bilbo's hopes completely?

Morsul the Dark · 06-02-2004, 07:06 AM

that he was all alone and couldn't see in the pitch black

Firefoot · 06-02-2004, 09:49 AM

No

Ophelia · 06-02-2004, 11:52 AM

Could it be because of the fact that he found his pipe aswell as the pipeweed but did not find any matches ?

Ophe

Firefoot · 06-02-2004, 01:22 PM

Yeppers.

Ophelia · 06-02-2004, 02:30 PM

Yaaayies !
The next question :
name the possession of Bilbo which he possesses on the account of his poor memory .
Good luck !

Ophelia

Firefoot · 06-02-2004, 03:59 PM

Ophelia · 06-03-2004, 10:27 AM

You have got it again !
And once again Firefoot is on !

Firefoot · 06-03-2004, 04:06 PM

Thank you.

How many dragons are drawn on Thror's map?

luthien-elvenprincess · 06-03-2004, 05:02 PM

Two dragons?

Firefoot · 06-04-2004, 05:49 AM

Yep.

luthien-elvenprincess · 06-05-2004, 10:01 AM

At one point in the story, Thorin could only be identified by his golden chain and by the color of his dirty and tattered sky-blue hood with its tarnished silver tassel. Where was Thorin at this point in the story?

Firefoot · 06-05-2004, 10:29 AM

It was when Bilbo had just let him out of the barrel after floating down the river.

luthien-elvenprincess · 06-06-2004, 04:15 PM

you are right

Firefoot · 06-07-2004, 05:17 AM

What two things did Bilbo notice about Balin when he came to visit?

Ophelia · 06-07-2004, 08:58 AM

Hmmm .. Let me see ... Could the answer to this question be : Balins beard had grown several inches longer and his jewlery adorned belt had got more splendid (sorry for the bad translation but it`s hard with having a badly re-translated book) .

-+Ophelia+-

Firefoot · 06-07-2004, 12:30 PM

Very good.

Ophelia · 06-07-2004, 12:34 PM

Thank you !
I have to think of something harder ...
What was one thing in cooking that Bilbo did not know how to do ?

Ophelia
-------------->

Mithalwen · 06-07-2004, 01:29 PM

Was it to light a fire without matches?

Ophelia · 06-07-2004, 01:35 PM

Sorry , but there was a more specific thing . But a nice try

Ophelia

Orcrist · 06-07-2004, 08:15 PM

To cook without anything to cook?

Ophelia · 06-08-2004, 11:23 AM

Nice one and as true , but still no . It seems like this question is too hard , so I`ll give you a hint : it`s something about meat .

-Ophe-

Orcrist · 06-08-2004, 01:16 PM

He can't make muttin taste any better than it does?
What chapter is this in?

Ophelia · 06-08-2004, 02:10 PM

Well with answers like these we`ll never get anywhere . And telling of the chapter is not going to be a quizz anymore . But if after reading the following hints you shall not find it , I`ll have no choice but to tell the chapter .
The hints :
*the one thing Bilbo couldn`t do was done by the Dwarves ;
*he couldn`t do this thing because he just had never done that and wasn`t used to do so ;
*by that time he had never called Beorn a furrier but has already "burned his tale".

I have made it obvious as obvious as I could . Who ever gets this one right gets a medal from me .
