Well, actually, Lord of Angmar was right, so I guess he can indeed continue.

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-29-2003, 07:12 AM

Just so there's no confusion, Lord of Angmar's question is:

At the memory of what battle do the Dwarves weep and the Orcs shudder?

gilraën · 07-29-2003, 07:25 AM

Azanulbizar?

Lindolirian · 12-10-2003, 09:33 PM

Ah ah! Here's a game I miss. Harumph...Must be Pan Man's fault. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
Heck I'll take it

In what battle was "survivor of the battle" slain?

Finwe · 12-10-2003, 10:14 PM

Battle of Helm's Deep?

Lindolirian · 12-11-2003, 02:50 PM

Nope.

Telchar · 12-11-2003, 04:06 PM

Battle of the Peak ?

Lindolirian · 12-11-2003, 04:36 PM

Nope. The name of the guy who died in this certain battle means "survivor of the battle" if that helps any.

Finwe · 12-17-2003, 10:53 AM

Battle of Pelennor Fields?

Finwe · 12-21-2003, 02:21 PM

*bump*

Lindolirian · 12-21-2003, 08:10 PM

Sorry about the delay; you are correct.

Lindolirian · 01-03-2004, 12:17 PM

Ahem... Go ahead Finwe.

Finwe · 01-03-2004, 01:36 PM

Right-o! Just because I feel like being difficult, this question is going to be a riddle:

We are partially rabbits,
Famous for bringing chocolate,
We are partially children,
Or an old tea-drinker's word for them,
We were named for our transports,
Our nassty, nassty transports,
Killed a king we did,
Killed his son we did,
And killed his other son who came along,
Yet killed were we, rather disgracefully,
While getting drunk, and drinking some more,
The place we died is something scouts do,
Oh woe are we, Oh woe are we.

Try making sense out of that one. The answer that I'm looking for is the battle where the answer to the riddle was slain.

nobody · 01-03-2004, 02:10 PM

I think it was the Battle of the Camp or something like that.

Finwe · 01-03-2004, 03:21 PM

Yes indeed. Your go.

Gil-Galad · 01-03-2004, 06:34 PM

*bump*

nobody · 01-13-2004, 11:27 AM

Sorry about that. I have exams. Which war was going on when the entwives were lost? Should be easy.

Elrond of Rivendell · 01-13-2004, 12:06 PM

The War of the Last Alliance?

nobody · 01-15-2004, 12:19 PM

No it was before that.

Elrond of Rivendell · 01-15-2004, 12:38 PM

I just found a quote:

Quote:

I remember it was long ago - in the time of the war between Sauron and the Men of the Sea ...

.
Could it be the war between Sauron and the Kings of Numenor, although I don't recall its exact name? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

nobody · 01-17-2004, 03:49 PM

Yes correct

Elrond of Rivendell · 01-17-2004, 04:03 PM

In which battle did Eorl ride to aid Cirion?

NightKnight · 01-18-2004, 04:53 AM

The Battle of Celebrant?

Elrond of Rivendell · 01-18-2004, 05:14 AM

Correct. Your go NightKnight.

NightKnight · 01-18-2004, 11:36 AM

In what battle did Ancalagon meet his doom?

Lindolirian · 01-18-2004, 01:45 PM

The War of Wrath in which he was slain by Earendil.

NightKnight · 01-19-2004, 11:21 AM

Yup, please continue.

Lindolirian · 01-22-2004, 06:09 PM

Name the battles in which one or more Balrog was present.

NightKnight · 01-23-2004, 06:40 AM

All of them? Wow...

I suppose there were some when the Valar defeated Melkor the first time, when the Elves where just born.
They defeated Ungoliant when Morgoth had stolen the Silmarils.
Dagor-nuin-Giliath
They captured Maedhros after the battle.
Dagor Aglareb?
Nirnaeth Arnoediad
Dagor Bragollach
The Fall of Gondolin
The one that Glorfindel fought on the way out
War of Wrath
Durin's Bane killing Durin and Nain
Battle of the Peak

I think that's all...

NightKnight · 01-25-2004, 06:15 AM

I'm reading Silm right now, so it wasn't that hard. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Anyway, list the battles of the WotR.

NightKnight · 01-30-2004, 05:07 AM

*Bump*
Anybody?

Estanesse · 02-06-2004, 02:56 PM

Atack of the white consel attack on Dol Guldur.
Battles of the Fords of Isen.
Helm’s Deep.
Battle of the Pelennor Fields.
Battle of Slag Hills.
The Battle of Bywater.

Did I forget one?

NightKnight · 02-07-2004, 04:50 AM

Several. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Also, I don't count Dol Guldur as WotR, since it was around 80 years earlier.

Estanesse · 02-09-2004, 04:26 AM

I would like to add the following

, the attack on Lothlorien and the battle of Dale. Rivendell was also under attack, but I’m not sure if you count it as a war

(the same with the Ents attack on Isengard).

I'm sure I forget one or two

NightKnight · 02-10-2004, 07:38 AM

Rivendell was never under attack. And you're still missing some.

Lindolirian · 02-11-2004, 05:01 PM

The Battles of the Fords of Isen
Battle of the Peak? (Hey, it started in defence of the Ringbearer)

Battle of the Hornburg (Helm's Deep)
Battle at Pelargir (Grey Company and Dead Men v. Corsairs)
Battle of Pelennor Fields
Battle Of Dale and Erebor
Battle of the Morannon
The Invasion of the Wold by Orcs (stopped by the Ents)
Assault against Lorien by Dol Guldur
Retaliation of Lorien and the Downfall of Dol Guldur
Battle of Bywater

NightKnight · 02-12-2004, 02:12 PM

So close! Just one more!

Estanesse · 02-12-2004, 02:41 PM

A battle under the trees in Mirkwood

NightKnight · 02-13-2004, 01:02 PM

Right! Estanesse or Lindolirian may continue.
