Oh, right, thanks. Sorry about that, a windlord is also quite the difficult bugger when it comes to getting his attention from all the way up...

What were the various colours of Gandalf's fire-pinecones?

Ophelia · 07-27-2003, 04:49 AM

Let me guess .... Firstly he threw a blue lighted pinecone and there followed more blue lighted ones , red and green lighted ones too .
Did I guess right ? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Fyara · 02-11-2004, 03:35 PM

yes im pretty sure you got that one right because that is what i remember

symestreem · 03-14-2004, 06:36 PM

Ten day rule.

New question: what was the color of the handkerchief that Bilbo borrowed from Elrond?

luthien-elvenprincess · 03-15-2004, 05:55 PM

Red silk

symestreem · 03-16-2004, 06:04 PM

Correct.

I can't picture Elrond with a red silk handkerchief. Maybe it was one of those Father's Day gifts where they smile and tell the kids it's just what they wanted. Maybe that's why Elrond didn't mind loaning it.

luthien-elvenprincess · 03-17-2004, 05:51 PM

he-he, somehow I have trouble picturing Elves with red clothing. I associate more subdued colors with them.

An easy ?

What did Fili hope he never smelled again?

symestreem · 03-17-2004, 06:44 PM

Don't even have to go to the book for that one- its apples!

luthien-elvenprincess · 03-17-2004, 09:39 PM

I gave warning that it was easy!

I was in a hurry.
You are correct!

symestreem · 03-28-2004, 02:55 PM

Sorry, I forgot about this thread! Next question:
Where is my copy of the Hobbit? No, no, I mean,
Smaug was ______ wealthy.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-30-2004, 01:22 AM

Quote:

...O Smaug the unassesably wealthy...

(The Hobbit 12 - emphasis mine)

symestreem · 03-30-2004, 08:36 AM

*nods* Go ahead.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-31-2004, 09:08 PM

Name all the titles of Bilbo that he mentioned before Smaug. [insert evil smiley here]

Firefoot · 04-01-2004, 06:24 AM

*takes a big breath* "I come from under the hill, and under the hills and over the hillls my paths led. And through the air. I am he that walks unseen" "I am the clue-finder, the web-cutter, the stinging fly. I was chosen for the lucky number." "I am he that buries friends alive and drowns them and draws them alive again from water. I came from the end of a bag, but no bag went over me." "I am the friend of bears and the gurest of eagles. I am Ringwiner and Luckwearer; and I am Barrel-rider." I think that's it.

Hey, has anyone else noticed that the order of the smilies in the box changes?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 04-04-2004, 09:34 PM

*nods* Go ahead.

Firefoot · 04-05-2004, 06:07 AM

How about an easy one - which dwarf dropped Bilbo in the Goblins' caves and caused him to be lost?

luthien-elvenprincess · 04-05-2004, 06:32 AM

Dori was carrying Bilbo.

Firefoot · 04-05-2004, 06:33 AM

Yeppers.

luthien-elvenprincess · 04-05-2004, 07:45 PM

Gandalf couldn't resist having the last word...where, and what did he say?

Firefoot · 04-06-2004, 08:03 AM

Just before he left the dwarves going into Mirkwood he said "Good-bye! Be good, take care of yourselves - and DON'T LEAVE THE PATH!"

luthien-elvenprincess · 04-06-2004, 04:47 PM

Accurate answer!

Firefoot · 04-07-2004, 06:13 AM

What instrument did each of the Dwarves play?

Saraphim · 04-07-2004, 11:19 AM

Here goes:
Thorin: harp
Fili & Kili: fiddles
Dori, Nori & Ori: flutes
Bombur: drum
Bifur & Bofur: clarinets
Dwalin & Balin: viols

I cannot find anywhere that Oin and Gloin had instruments of any kind.

Firefoot · 04-07-2004, 12:56 PM

Yes.

Saraphim · 04-07-2004, 02:38 PM

Yes! Ok, here's my question:

Upon entering Rivindell, what do the Elves warn Bilbo not to do, and why?

Bombadil · 04-07-2004, 02:50 PM

to not eat all the cakes?

Saraphim · 04-07-2004, 11:24 PM

Right!

Bombadil · 04-08-2004, 09:44 AM

What were two insulting names Bibo called the spiders?

Arestevana · 04-08-2004, 10:30 AM

I believe 'lazy lob' and 'attercop', were the two he used.

Bombadil · 04-08-2004, 03:57 PM

correct

(also one of my favorites not mentioned- tomnoddy)

Saraphim · 04-16-2004, 04:28 PM

Ok, its been ten days, so here goes:

What were the four things Gollum guessed were in Bilbo's pocket?

Orcrist · 04-18-2004, 08:42 PM

I believe it was handses, knife, string, or nothing.

Saraphim · 04-19-2004, 03:26 PM

Right-o Orcrist!

Orcrist · 04-19-2004, 08:22 PM

Name the Dwarves' raven messenger.

NightKnight · 04-20-2004, 01:18 PM

Roac.

Orcrist · 04-20-2004, 08:10 PM

You are correct!!!

NightKnight · 04-21-2004, 03:19 AM

How many teeth does Gollum have?

Sirithheruwen · 04-21-2004, 07:16 AM

Six.

NightKnight · 04-21-2004, 08:04 AM

Yup.

Sirithheruwen · 04-21-2004, 02:32 PM

What are the runes that Elrond found next to the plain runes called, and why could he see them?
