Incanus (Gandalf), Hurin and Peregrin all committed trollicide. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Goldberry did not.

Lindolirian · 05-27-2002, 06:05 PM

Very good Turambar.. Trollicide ... i like that!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Lindolirian · 05-27-2002, 06:06 PM

By the way Susan , Incanus was Gandalf...

Turambar · 05-28-2002, 12:56 PM

Easy one:

Ulmo
Gandalf
Finrod
Tuor
Gloin

Lothiriel Silmarien · 05-28-2002, 02:19 PM

They all met Ulmo except for Gloin..........?

Elrian · 05-28-2002, 04:04 PM

Gloin never served a higher power, as Ulmo served Eru, Gandlaf served the Valar, Tuor and Finrod served Ulmo in some way. Also Gloin had never been to the west.

Turambar · 05-28-2002, 04:28 PM

I'm so sorry - I screwed up. The list should have been:

Ulmo
Gandalf
Finrod
Tuor
Thorin

Forgive me.

Only one of these had something, or did something.

Elenya · 05-30-2002, 03:23 PM

Which Thorin do you mean? There was more than one and I can't decide which one it is!!

Turambar · 05-30-2002, 03:25 PM

Thorin of the Quest of Erebor.

Elenya · 05-30-2002, 08:30 PM

Only Finrod held an elven-ring?

Turambar · 05-31-2002, 08:12 AM

Didn't Gandalf hold Narya? In any case, that's not it. It's something quite obvious.

HINT: Tolkien himself couldn't be added to the list (he'd be a second odd man out.)

Dior · 05-31-2002, 08:18 AM

Thorin was the only one not to live in the Third Age.

Dior · 05-31-2002, 08:19 AM

Thorin was the only one not to live in the FIRST AGE.

Dior · 05-31-2002, 08:19 AM

sorry

Daniel Telcontar · 05-31-2002, 09:01 AM

Thorin is the only mortal person on the list?
Although Tuor was a human he did receive immortal life.

Turambar · 06-01-2002, 04:51 PM

Hint: Edith.

Joy · 06-01-2002, 06:05 PM

Tuor was the only one who was married. He married Idril Celebrindal of Gondolin.

Elenya · 06-01-2002, 06:16 PM

Darn! I was thinking about the Hint Hint you gave me in What Doesn't Belong, and I just figured it out, only to realise I'm too late!! (Thick, thick Elenya) Oh Well!!

Turambar · 06-06-2002, 10:19 AM

Yep, Joy got it. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Ask us one, Joy.

Susan Delgado · 06-09-2002, 06:15 PM

Joy hasn't been around, so I'll step in and ask one [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Earendil
Snowmane
THEODEN
Haldir
Gil-Galad

There: now it's spelled right [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[ June 12, 2002: Message edited by: Susan Delgado ]

Turambar · 06-11-2002, 12:58 PM

Only Earendil didn't die in battle?

Susan Delgado · 06-12-2002, 02:10 AM

That would work, but it's not what I was thinking of.

Arwen Imladris · 06-12-2002, 02:29 PM

Snowmain: only horse?
Theodin: only one you spelt wrong
Earendil: only one that no one in the fellowship ever met?

Susan Delgado · 06-12-2002, 07:11 PM

What do you mean, I spelled Toedin wrong??? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] hehe

Not the answers I was looking for though

TarElendil · 06-12-2002, 07:15 PM

Earendil is the only Half-Elven. (Peredhel)

Susan Delgado · 06-12-2002, 07:30 PM

No. Four of them were in something the other wasn't.

TarElendil · 06-12-2002, 07:38 PM

which Haldir are you speaking of? the man Haldir from the 1st age, or Haldir of Lothlorien?

Susan Delgado · 06-13-2002, 01:11 AM

I was wondering when someone was going to ask that [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I'm pretty sure either one would work. I can't find my copy of the Silm to look up Haldir-the-man and be positive, but I think they both would work.
Also, you could replace Snowmane with Gandalf and get the same result.

TarElendil · 06-13-2002, 11:22 AM

uuhhh..theoden doesnt have an "a" in his name?:P

Susan Delgado · 06-13-2002, 11:56 AM

No....What hint can I give that won't give it away? All but one of them had something done for them by another person.

TarElendil · 06-13-2002, 12:01 PM

i havent an idea:P

Susan Delgado · 06-13-2002, 12:12 PM

Well, the thing that was done was not so much "for them" as it was for the benefit of the rest of the people of Middle Earth. Is that clear as mud?

TarElendil · 06-13-2002, 12:22 PM

there were songs about all of em cept for haldir? dont see how that would benefit people tho [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

Susan Delgado · 06-13-2002, 12:41 PM

<font color="red"><font size="3">You don't see music and poetry as a benefit to society?

[ June 13, 2002: Message edited by: Susan Delgado ]

TarElendil · 06-13-2002, 12:56 PM

yes i do see why, but i figured you meant in a larger way [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Susan Delgado · 06-13-2002, 02:18 PM

What's larger than a universal benefit?

Arwen Imladris · 06-13-2002, 06:39 PM

I wouldn't fight about it guys!

Tar Elendil, I believe it is your turn. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

TarElendil · 06-13-2002, 08:27 PM

Beren
Hurin
Ecthelion
Faramir
Saruman

Susan Delgado · 06-14-2002, 03:25 AM

Saruman only non-human?
Saruman only one never to marry?

[ June 14, 2002: Message edited by: Susan Delgado ]

TarElendil · 06-14-2002, 10:55 AM

neither of those were the ones i was looking for
Hint-there was more than one Faramir
