Aiwendel/Radagast
Alatar
Pallando

mordor136 · 12-13-2001, 08:38 AM

Elrian · 12-13-2001, 09:12 PM

Man of skill [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Telchar · 12-14-2001, 01:57 AM

Is the question here : Who is odd out???
The I say Gandalf for being the only one who stayed true to his quest.

mordor136 · 12-14-2001, 10:17 PM

No, it was just to list them in order. By the way didn't Gandalf come last. Still good answer but wrong question.

Elrian · 12-15-2001, 12:07 AM

Yes, I think he got off the boat last. It said something about Cirdan greeting them and Gandalf came last, that's when Cirdan gave him the Elven ring telling he would have a better use for it.

mordor136 · 12-15-2001, 12:50 AM

thanks for backing me up pal

Telchar · 12-17-2001, 03:31 AM

Sorry - my misreading the previous post - Gandalf came last thats correct but years later and not on the same boat... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

mordor136 · 12-18-2001, 08:08 AM

What color is gandalf's hat? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

12-18-2001, 08:57 AM

BLUE [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Marileangorifurnimaluim · 12-18-2001, 07:44 PM

Grey?

mordor136 · 12-19-2001, 09:23 AM

no he had it right. it was blue.you can continue the questioning because he dosnt know enough to make a question. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Joy · 02-17-2002, 03:33 AM

It has been more than 7 days, so I will post.

What other names did Alatar and Pallando have and what did they mean?

Joy · 02-19-2002, 09:19 PM

Come on guys, I know someone here knows this one! Hint, Hint Bruce [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Eowyn of Ithilien · 02-20-2002, 02:29 AM

the Blue Wizards because they wore blue robes...they went into the East and don't really come into the tales

Joy · 02-20-2002, 02:36 AM

Correct Eowyn! Good job!

Eowyn of Ithilien · 02-21-2002, 05:47 AM

alright...I can only think of easy ones coz it must be a month since I've read any of the books [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
what reason did one of the Istari give for not wishing to lead the council?

zifnab · 02-21-2002, 10:41 AM

That would be Mithrandir.

He desired no ties and no allegiance(save the ones who sent him), and he would not abide in any place.

Eowyn of Ithilien · 02-22-2002, 11:41 PM

[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] pray continue

zifnab · 02-23-2002, 02:53 PM

Ok, I can't think of a good one at the moment either. But here goes....

Manwe wanted a certain Istati to go. That certain Istari said that he was "to weak for such a task, and that he feared Sauron". In which Manwe replied, "That is all the more reason why you should go".

Who was the "Certain Istari"?

I know its an easy one, but I'm at a loss at the moment! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

onewhitetree · 02-23-2002, 03:35 PM

That would be Olórin, would it not?

zifnab · 02-24-2002, 01:12 AM

Your right! Hard one, wasn't it?! (; Your turn.

onewhitetree · 02-24-2002, 01:30 AM

Ok...what did Olórin the Istari give to the Old Took that was quite remarkable?

Dwarin Thunderhammer · 02-24-2002, 01:47 AM

Cufflinks that never came undone?

zifnab · 02-24-2002, 01:51 AM

Magical diamond studs, which fastened and unfastened on command!

onewhitetree · 02-24-2002, 01:53 AM

The zifferoo has got it! Close, Dwarin, but they would come undone if ordered so. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Dwarin Thunderhammer · 02-24-2002, 02:00 AM

Ok, Let's have the next one zif...

zifnab · 02-24-2002, 02:01 AM

Which Istari made/used Goblin-Barkers?

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

Dwarin Thunderhammer · 02-24-2002, 02:02 AM

Gandalf! Goblin Barkers were a type of firecracker at Bilbo's eleventy first party!

[ February 24, 2002: Message edited by: Dwarin Thunderhammer ]

zifnab · 02-24-2002, 02:06 AM

Your right! Your turn!

Dwarin Thunderhammer · 02-24-2002, 02:19 AM

Who were the black wizard, because there was a white one they had to have a black one....... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Seriously though Here is my question:

What did gandalf wear around his neck and what color was it?

onewhitetree · 02-24-2002, 02:21 AM

A silver scarf.

zifnab · 02-24-2002, 02:22 AM

Scarf? Silver or White?

Sauron was the Black Wizard! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Dwarin Thunderhammer · 02-24-2002, 02:25 AM

Good job onewhite tree ask away!

onewhitetree · 02-24-2002, 02:38 AM

A bit obscure, I'll admit, but Istari knowledge is thin. I'm feeling evil, so what the heck? How many stairs were there to the threshold of Saruman's abode, Orthanc?

zifnab · 02-24-2002, 02:44 AM

27! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

onewhitetree · 02-24-2002, 02:49 AM

Excellent! You even get a point for answering with such a big toothy grin.

zifnab · 02-24-2002, 02:55 AM

Thanks for the point!

Ok......

Who had "raven hair and a fair voice"?

Dwarin Thunderhammer · 02-24-2002, 02:59 AM

Radagast?
