Yes.

Firefoot - 3
Lindolirian - 3

#7: Who was Dior's spouse, and where was she from?

I may be away for a little, but I'll try and check this as soon as possible. My apologies.

Lindolirian · 03-30-2004, 04:56 PM

Nimloth of Doriath

Miriel · 04-19-2004, 01:40 PM

Soooo sorry for the delay ... I was away ... will start thinking of questions furiously.

Lindolirian is correct, making the scoreboard stand at:

Firefoot - 3
Lindolirian - 4

#8: Name four red-headed Elves.

Firefoot · 04-19-2004, 01:59 PM

Yay! You're back!

Maedhros, Amrod, Amras, and Nerdanel?

Miriel · 04-23-2004, 11:20 AM

Thanks! It's good to see ya again.

And that's correct.

Firefoot - 4
Lindolirian - 4

#9: Give three alternative names for Galadriel. (Not counting titles like 'Lady of Lorien'.)

Firefoot · 04-23-2004, 01:25 PM

Alatariel, Artanis, Nerwen

Firefoot · 05-31-2004, 07:29 PM

I rather miss this game, and according to the Members List, Miriel hasn't been around for more than a month, so would it be okay if I started a new set of questions?

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-31-2004, 08:02 PM

Go ahead Firefoot.

Lindolirian · 05-31-2004, 08:21 PM

Yeah Firefoot, you had me on this one anyway. I think you and Miriel must live in a different time zone than I, because I would always find that you two posted while I was asleep

Firefoot · 06-01-2004, 01:44 PM

Alrighty, then. The topic is Animals of Arda.

1. Name two horses that killed someone.

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-01-2004, 05:36 PM

Felarof (Leod) and Snowmane (Theoden).

Firefoot · 06-01-2004, 08:33 PM

Yes

Saucepan Man - 1

What was the name of the crow that helped Bilbo and the Dwarves?

Lindolirian · 06-01-2004, 08:39 PM

Roac

Firefoot · 06-01-2004, 08:59 PM

No

Lindolirian · 06-01-2004, 09:11 PM

Ah trick question! There was no crow, because Roäc son of Carc was a raven.

Firefoot · 06-01-2004, 09:13 PM

Yep.

Lindolirian - 1
SpM - 1

What were the colors of Queen Beruthiel's cats?

Lindolirian · 06-01-2004, 09:16 PM

One white and nine black. Kinda like the Nazgul and Gandalf don't ya think?

Firefoot · 06-02-2004, 05:03 AM

Sure, why not?

Lindo - 2
SpM - 1

What was the name of Frodo's pony when he returned home?

Lindolirian · 06-02-2004, 09:30 AM

Strider, after Aragorn's nickname.

Firefoot · 06-02-2004, 09:48 AM

Yep.

Lirio - 3
SpM - 1

In Tolkien's early writings, who was the Prince of Cats and Huan's enemy?

NightKnight · 06-02-2004, 09:49 AM

Tevildo.

Firefoot · 06-02-2004, 10:35 AM

Yes.

Lindo - 3
SpM - 1
NK - 1

6. Who slew the great boar of Everholt?

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-02-2004, 10:49 AM

Folca, although he died doing so.

Firefoot · 06-02-2004, 01:22 PM

*nods*

Lindo - 3
SpM - 2
NK - 1

7. How large was Thorondor?

Lindolirian · 06-02-2004, 02:52 PM

His wings were 30 fathoms and a fathom is six feet, so with a wing span of 180 feet, he was quite huge.

Firefoot · 06-02-2004, 04:12 PM

Uh-huh.

Lindo - 4
SpM - 2
NK - 1

8. Name a horse that is not gray or white.

Lindolirian · 06-02-2004, 05:46 PM

I had always imagined Arod to be light brown, but I can't find any evidence backing it up.

Firefoot · 06-02-2004, 06:22 PM

No, Arod is gray.

NightKnight · 06-03-2004, 01:48 AM

Firefoot?

Firefoot · 06-03-2004, 05:43 AM

No, Firefoot is gray too.

Maybe I shouldn't have said 'name'... just which horse.

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-03-2004, 10:07 AM

Ah well, in that case I shall say the Witch King of Angmar's horse, which is black (along with the eight ridden by the other Nazgul).

But that's probably not the answer that you had in mind ...

Firefoot · 06-03-2004, 04:05 PM

Actually, 'tis.

Lindo - 4
SpM - 3

9. How much money was Bill the Pony sold to the hobbits for?

Fingolfin II · 06-03-2004, 05:31 PM

He was sold for twelve silver pennies by that nasty, wicked man, Bill Ferny.

Firefoot · 06-04-2004, 05:48 AM

Yesss, Nasssty, Wicked False!

Lindo - 4
SpM - 3
NK - 1
Fingolfin - 1

10. According to the Hobbit, what kinds of animals do we know lived in Mirkwood?

Lindolirian · 06-04-2004, 09:37 AM

Spiders, squirrels, deer, a hart, "black emperor" butterflies, moths as big as your hand, and other various insects that only showed their bulbous eyes.

Firefoot · 06-04-2004, 10:43 AM

Perfect.

And with 5 points, Lindolirian is the winner! Your turn.

Lindolirian · 06-04-2004, 12:25 PM

*Drumroll*
And the new topic is...
Gems, jewels, precious stones, rings and other sorts of treasure.

1. Name two of the above things (by name) that Cirdan gave away.

NightKnight · 06-04-2004, 12:29 PM

Narya (to Gandalf) and the last Palantir of Arnor (to Elrond/Gandalf/the ship

).

Lindolirian · 06-04-2004, 03:50 PM

Yeah, that'll work.
NK-1

2. Who made the Elessar?
