My first post should be an easy one... who comes first?

What did the eagels give Bilbo & Co. when they had rescued them from the tree-tops?

Narya · 02-02-2002, 11:43 AM

Hi, i am new at the downs, too.

I think it was food.

the_master_of_puppets · 02-02-2002, 12:48 PM

how many years was it that gandalf had not seen frodo for when he returns and tells him the truth of the ring?

a) one, b) four, c) seven or d) nine???

and this is easy so i expect some answers! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-02-2002, 02:11 PM

Welcome to you too Narya..!

Yes it was food... but what food...?

And the_master_of_puppets: You have to awnswer a question right before You ask another question i the same topic... If you want to "just" ask a question then Post a new topic... Wasn't it about 17 years? Bilbos birthday party was i 3.A. 3001 and Gandalf came and warned him the 12 april 3.A. 3018 or what?

Elrian · 02-02-2002, 09:32 PM

Wasn't it rabbits?

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-03-2002, 12:26 AM

Right Elrian... Your turn!

Elrian · 02-03-2002, 06:48 AM

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-03-2002, 09:38 AM

Why did Bilbo & Co. hide in the (goblin-)cave? (No, it was not just bequase the rain and the thunder)

Elrian · 02-03-2002, 11:21 PM

The giants were throwing boulders?

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-04-2002, 02:48 AM

Yes... the stone-giants threw stones [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Elrian · 02-04-2002, 09:11 PM

What did the wine of Dorwinion do to it's drinkers?

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-04-2002, 10:16 PM

It put them to sleep.
See? Now I've answered one of yours! :P

Elrian · 02-05-2002, 12:08 AM

It's close, the book is a bit more descriptive though.

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-05-2002, 01:10 AM

The kings butler and the chief of the guards began to laugh merrily. Then they nodded their heads and fell asleep on the table.

is that good enough?

Elrian · 02-05-2002, 04:18 AM

The answer is a few passages after that, like I said you were close.

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-05-2002, 07:45 AM

The chief guard and the butler could be seen still happily snoring with smiles upon their faces.

That should do it...

Who died with Thorin Oakenshield?

dernhelm · 02-06-2002, 02:23 PM

I'm new to this quiz board, so here goes nothing. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Was it Fili and Kili?

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-06-2002, 03:25 PM

Yes dernhelm! Now it's your turn to ask!

dernhelm · 02-07-2002, 12:58 PM

What was the name of the skin-changer who fed and lodged Bilbo and Company?

Narya · 02-07-2002, 01:14 PM

Beorn!

dernhelm · 02-07-2002, 02:02 PM

Right, Narya! Now it's your turn. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Narya · 02-07-2002, 02:07 PM

Okay!
Name two 'gifts' that Bilbo makes in 'The Hobbit'!

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-07-2002, 04:16 PM

The necklace of silver and pearls that he gave to Thranduil and the Arkenstone, which he gave to Bard and Thranduil.

Narya · 02-08-2002, 06:13 AM

Yes, indeed.. your turn, Bruce!

02-08-2002, 07:25 AM

They brought rabbits and hares

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-08-2002, 03:44 PM

Who said

Quote:

They don't look dangerous.

Narya · 02-08-2002, 03:52 PM

Was it in The hobbit?
Well, i am just guessing, because I don´t have a copy of the book with me.
Was it Bilbo in the top of the tree in the Mirkwoodforest about the butterflys?
No, it´s wrong, isn´t it?
Maybe Beorn?
If this is all nonsence, plz forgive me, it´s late [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Quote:

"String, or nothing!" shrieked Gollum, which was not quite fair - working in two guesses at once.

But, unlike Gollum, your second guess was correct. It was Beorn speaking of Gandalf and Bilbo.

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-09-2002, 04:33 AM

Your turn Narya.

Narya · 02-09-2002, 07:13 AM

Thanks, Bruce... you´re so nice, not a nassty little hobbit...
This is an easy one:
What are the elven names for The lonley Mountain and the River Running?

Elrian · 02-09-2002, 01:24 PM

Erebor and Celduin.

Narya · 02-09-2002, 01:42 PM

Yes, right
Your turn, Elrian.

Elrian · 02-09-2002, 06:56 PM

What colors were the banners of the Orcs at the battle of the Five Armies?

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-09-2002, 11:41 PM

Elrian · 02-11-2002, 12:09 AM
