Well Gwaihir is nowhere to be found, but 'Anglachel' was certainly the right answer.

Who offered Turin their knife as a gift at their parting? (Turin declined.)

A hypothetical question:
If Avranc were in an archery contest what would his hit percentage most likely be?

It had to have been pretty good. Do we know any specific feats that he accomplished?

Well, you're on the wrong track. It wasn't exactly a good record. In fact, it was downright bad. It is clearly explained in one story that he shot x amount of times and only hit a low percentage of them. I'm basing my hypothetical question off of those specific shots.
HINT: He was a Man, and the shot(s) that did find their mark killed another Man.

Oh... right.....


Well... I know that Avranc was the one who killed Manthor in the Rebellion of Brethil, and I believe that he shot a total of two arrows at him, so wouldn't the percentage be 50%? The second shot was the one that killed him.

Hmm... would it be 100%, since we don't know for sure if he shot that first arrow?

Nope... If you can't find all of the instances of his shootings, check out Manthor's dying words at least. That should make it quite clear.

Yet another thread falls to Saucepan's pruning shears.

Lindolirian, please could you start a new thread with your current question?

Thanks.

He shot and missed Manthor when being driven out of the the Moot Ring, then missed once again hitting the gate post by Manthors head, and finally hit him when Manthor was on his way back from Morwen's funeral. 33.3333%

It is a poor archer that will miss his mark at the third aim.
-Manthor after he was hit by Avranc's third shot.

Curufin got grabbed by the throat and hurled backwards, so chiefly him.
His horse and Luthien both fell to the ground. But good actually came out of the leap for both of them, so I won't say they suffered from it.

What was the original name of Turin's sword Gurthang (before it was reforged), and what does that name mean?
