Fellowship Trivia II

[Lotesse]

No, not Gandalf, although it's a deceptively Gandalfian kind of comment to be made, isn't it? ;)

[rohirrim TR]

Elrond?

[Lotesse]

Nay, not he.

[Rconsole]

Oh! Oh! Sam?

[Lotesse]

Not he. I'm surprised nobody's getting it. I'll give a hint: The answer is to be found in the chapter "Three is Company." :)

[Elanor]

I was going to say Galadriel, but she's not in that chapter, is she? The only one I can think of is Merry.

[Lotesse]

Nien and nyet. :D

[Pip]

Uh, was it Gildor?

[Spock]

..she has to stop giving those hints :D

[Lotesse]

Gildor it was, Pip! Welcome 2 the moot, by the way! It's your turn. :)

[Pip]

Thankies :)
At what time did Merry wake Frodo the day they left Crickhollow?

[Lotesse]

Was it four in the morning?

[Pip]

Very close but no, that's not it.

[Lotesse]

Ah! Half-past four in the morning! :)

[Pip]

Yeppers, your turn

[Lotesse]

Who was Frodo referring to when he talked about "luggage with eyes?"

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Well he wasn't actually referring to anyone, he was just poking fun at Sam and referring to the conversation they just had, but I guess the answer you're looking for is Gollum.

[Lotesse]

No, he wasn't talking about Gollum. It's a tricksey question, precioussss, yesss, tricksey! :D

[Rconsole]

All of the hobbits in the fellowship?

[Lotesse]

Noooo... :D

[rohirrim TR]

the whole fellowship had to be blinded in lothorien because they were luggage with eyes?

[Lotesse]

Ah... no. Nice try, tho. :D TD was on the right track, already, but his answer's wrong.

[rohirrim TR]

lets see gollum floatin on the log was luggage with eyesess?

[Lotesse]

No, see that's what I figured everyone would think - it really is a tricksey question, preciousss... :evil: :p

[rohirrim TR]

well i'll get back to you when i have a book :p

[Rconsole]

was it Sam when Frodo took the boat and Sam tried to follow him?

[Lotesse]

YES!! YES!!! *bells start crazily ringing, lights start flashing* Your turn, Rconsole! :)

[Rconsole]

okey dokey....


What day of the week was the "long expected party"?

[Spock]

Thursday September 22nd.

[Rconsole]

Correct :)

[Spock]

Who said; "I wish I had never come here"?

[rohirrim TR]

pippin?

[Rconsole]

was it Sam?

[Curubethion]

Frodo? (or was that in the movie only?)

[Spock]

was it Sam?


YES INDEED TO THE LADY OF LOTHLOREIN. :cool:

your turn. :)

[Rconsole]

How many wraiths did Glorfindel meet on his way from Rivendell to Frodo?

[Lotesse]

Five. "Where the other four are, I do not know." :D

[Rconsole]

that's right :)

[Lotesse]

Who was it that bore the shards of Narsil from the fields of Cormallen to Valandil, who was staying in Rivendell?

[Rconsole]

Isildur gave the shards to his esquire, Ohtar

[Lotesse]

Ya-Vol, Rconsole! Indeed. Your turn! :)

[Rconsole]

How long had Aragorn been away from Lothlorien before he returned with the Fellowship?

[Lotesse]

38 years?

[Rconsole]

Yup :)

[Lotesse]

What's the name of the dwarf to whom the Messenger of Mordor spoke?

[Spock]

Mickey.....oh, no he's on Seinfeld :(

[Lotesse]

*sighs deeply, eyes roll heavenward* No, not Mickey. Try again.

[rohirrim TR]

Dain

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Gloin then Dain?

[Lotesse]

Rohirrim TR, that's the answer I sought - Dain. U go! :)

[Spock]

FIVE DAYS and no response, how about it Lotesse, can you post another famous question? Please.

[rohirrim TR]

sorry i took so long :o
who rode with frodo to the ford? (careful, trick question)

[Curubethion]

Umm...nobody?

[Count Comfect]

The Ring did. On his finger ;)

[olorin hamfast]

Glorfindel

[rohirrim TR]

all good answers, but curubethion has the answer i'm looking for :)

[The last sane person]

oops, curubethion's turn.

[Lotesse]

Gloin, was it, but I think it's Curubethion's turn to ask a question, Shah! We just have to wait 4 him to come in; he'll be here some time today I'm sure. :)

[Curubethion]

Yup, I'm here! :D
What is the name of the last chapter? (No, Lotesse, you can't look it up! It's not so hard you have to resort to that, is it? :) )

[Rconsole]

The Breaking of the Fellowship

[Curubethion]

Ja, Si, Oui, Yeah...(I just decided to go a little multilingual) :D

[Rconsole]

Who taught Sam the song about Gil-Galad?

[Lotesse]

Gildor?

[Rconsole]

Nope, nice try though :)

[The Gaffer]

Bilbo (meaning no harm)

[Rconsole]

Yep it was Bilbo

[Lotesse]

So Gaffer, it's all yours! :)

[The Gaffer]

Whoops! Sorry. Ahem

Who was my next-door neighbour?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Rory Brandybuck?

[The Gaffer]

Nope

[Spock]

Bilbo and Frodo?

[The Gaffer]

Nope.

Clue, in a Grey-Wolf stylie:

Paternalist with full complement of lower limbs

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Daddy Twofoot

[The Gaffer]

You got it!

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

What did the Gaffer recieve from Bilbo for his (Bilbo's) birthday?

[Spock]

What did the Gaffer recieve from Bilbo for his (Bilbo's) birthday?


To sacks of potatoes, a new spade, a wollen waistocat and a bottle of ointment for creaking joints. :D

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Very good Spock. Your go.

[Spock]

Who said & under what circumstances (yes a two parter folks)

"Not very near, and yet too near, it seems"

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Strider being pursued by Nazgûl near Weathertop.

[Spock]

Nope, and I'm off for the day....unless I get really board (it's a pun-like notlob :) ) tonight. :D

[Curubethion]

Sam, looking at Sting in the tunnels of Shelob's Lair...oh darn, it's FOTR trivia, so that couldn't be it.
:confused: I'm stumped

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Was it Gildor being asked about the Nazgûl by Frodo?

[Spock]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :D

[Lotesse]

This sounds like something typically cryptic that Gandalf would say. Hmmmm.

[Curubethion]

It kind of sounds like something said because someone was looking at Sting and talking about the proximity of orcs...
Frodo, in Moria?

[Spock]

It kind of sounds like something said because someone was looking at Sting and talking about the proximity of orcs...
Frodo, in Moria?

Well, "kind of" and "sounds like" don't cut it in the correct department.

Try, Try again because you have only another 24hrs before this question self-destructs. ;)

[rohirrim TR]

aragorn refering to orcs in moria?

[Spock]

Nope. Roughly five hours more before this passes into history.

[rohirrim TR]

gandalf in reference to wolves outside of moria

[Spock]

It kind of sounds like something said because someone was looking at Sting and talking about the proximity of orcs...
Frodo, in Moria?


While not the answer---and no, I'm not revealing it now; might want to use it again in the future it's was on the right track and so
I ask you, Curubethion, to post the next question.

[Curubethion]

Okay. The first chapter of FOTR was "A Long-Expected Party". What was the second chapter called? (Don't look it up if you can help it ;) )

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Shadow of the Past?

[Curubethion]

Yep. Just curious...did you look that up? (You get the next question anyway)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

No, I've read LotR to many times!

According to Legolas, what are the trees of Lorien called?

[rohirrim TR]

mallyrns?

[Curubethion]

I think that's close...I'll guess mellyrn. You're almost there, I think, rTR. :D

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Correct Curubrethion

[Curubethion]

Allright...who saw Hobbiton devestated by Sauron in Galadriel's Mirror?

[Spock]

Sam Gamgee

[Spock]

IS THE ANSWER CORRECT? :rolleyes:

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

I've checked and that is the correct answer Spock.

[Spock]

I've checked and that is the correct answer Spock.

Thanks, I'll wait another day to see if Curubethion responds as he posted the question. No reply in 72 hrs. we can post a question, and I'm ready. ;) :evil:

[Curubethion]

Yeah, you got it.
In the future, if I don't show up within about a day, I probably won't be on for a while, so wait for one confirmation and then accept it as correct.

[Spock]

Who went boating, to their demise? :cool:

[Serenoli]

Frodo's parents- Drogo Baggins and Primula Brandybuck Baggins.

[Spock]

:) Yes, You are on a streak, post the next question. :D

[Serenoli]

On a streak, lol. Also burdend wit having to make all da questions now, nd im running outta ideas!

ok, here goes:
What are Goldberry's favourite flowers, and where was the only place Tom could get them for her?

[Spock]

Great question, now let's see how long it takes our fellow Mooters to get it. :)

[mithrand1r]

On a streak, lol. Also burdend wit having to make all da questions now, nd im running outta ideas!

ok, here goes:
What are Goldberry's favourite flowers, and where was the only place Tom could get them for her?

My guesses:

water-lillies.

By the River Withywindle

[Serenoli]

Quite right you are too. Your turn. :)

[mithrand1r]

Quite right you are too. Your turn. :)

What character found the hobbits during their trip to Rivendell, but was never spoken to by Frodo?

[durinsbane2244]

hm, the elf dude? not glorfindal, the other one....oh, no! the nazgul! ha! he found them!

[mithrand1r]

hm, the elf dude? not glorfindal, the other one....oh, no! the nazgul! ha! he found them!


Very good guess. It is not the character I was think as the answer for this question. I was thinking of a non-hostile (to the hobbits at any rate) character, but I think your answer does fit the question as I asked it.

If no one else writes the correct answer, you may have the next question.

{Actually, if I was to be a bit technical, Frodo did speak to the Nazgul. He spoke to all of them at the Ford. Still this is a very good guess.}

[Finrod Felagund]

A fox?

[Valandil]

I'm thinking it probably WAS Glorfindel. Frodo wasn't in any kind of condition to speak much then, was he?

[Finrod Felagund]

I'm positive there's mention of a fox being the lone creature to see them, or something like that. Maybe it was on the journey from Hobbiton to Crickhollow though...not sure.
I know there's a fox at some point.

[mithrand1r]

A fox?

Your crazy as a _ _ _ and have the correct answer as well. Well done.

IIRC, there were two foxes mentioned, but I am thinking of the one from the begining. (about pg. 21 in the edition I am reading from; When the three hobbits start out on their journey.)

P.S. It is your turn as well. :)

[Spock]

FYI and to show how editions differ. Page 21 in my book is still the prologue. Even adding 21 to the first page of the narative brings you into the middle of the Party. So you can see how difficult it may be to find things.

[mithrand1r]

FYI and to show how editions differ. Page 21 in my book is still the prologue. Even adding 21 to the first page of the narative brings you into the middle of the Party. So you can see how difficult it may be to find things.

Agreed. Part of the reason why I added some background info about the fox from the book.

It doesn't help that I also made an error in typing the page number. :o It should read pg. 81 not 21. :o :eek:

I probably should have also included the book and chapter

The Fellowship of the Ring: "Three Is Company,"
"Hobbits!" he thought. "Well, what next? I have heard of strange doings in this land, but I have seldom heard of a hobbit sleeping out of doors under a tree. Three of them! There's something mighty queer behind this." He was quite right, but he never found out any more about it.

[Finrod Felagund]

What was the mayor of the Shire's name and nickname?

[mithrand1r]

hmmm, Guliani......yeah, Rudy! :D

Spock,

I think that was the Mayor of Norte Dame. They even had a movie about it called "Rudy". ;)

Will you please limit the amount of your illogical responses.
They do not seem to have any of the whit that you normally have in your responses. It may be a good time to remove your foot from your mouth.

I do not want to appear overly harsh in my reply, so I would like to offer you some flour dumplings. It is a traditional treat in my culture. They are best eaten when freshly made. I prefer mine with confection sugar and honey, but other people have different preferences such as cinnamon or nutmeg.

Finrod Felagund,

I am sure someone will come with the correct answer soon enough. ;)

[Spock]

HARD CHEESE :(

Will Whitfoot-a.k.a. old Flourdumpling! :mad:

[Finrod Felagund]

Correct!

[Spock]

How did Will Whitfoot-get his nickname? :evil:

[mithrand1r]

How did Will Whitfoot-get his nickname? :evil:

When the roof of the Town Hole collapsed, he emerged covered in chalk and looking like a flour dumpling. Hence the nickname.

[Spock]

Yep! Yugo :)

[mithrand1r]

Yep! Yugo :)

Thanks. If you look back at my previous answer you may see, if you have not noticed yet, that I wrote in the answers for the previous two questions:

The question I have is who put the rock in the rock of robin? (just kidding ;))

Who was said to have both eyes open and clay on his fingers?

[Spock]

yee gadz and little fishes, that's a hard one. :(

[Lotesse]

The Gaffer? Either Gaffer Gamgee or Sam, I'm guessing. That IS a good question!!

[mithrand1r]

The Gaffer? Either Gaffer Gamgee or Sam, I'm guessing. That IS a good question!!

Good guesses, but both are incorrect.

I am glad you like the question.
"Every now and then a blind squirrel will find an acorn."

[Lotesse]

Old Man Willow? NO, no - Farmer Maggot!

[mithrand1r]

Old Man Willow? NO, no - Farmer Maggot!

Correct. :) Farmer Maggot it is.

Very good. Your turn Lotesse.

P650

[Lotesse]

When he was indoors (in his own home), what did Tom Bombadil wear upon his head?

[mithrand1r]

When he was indoors (in his own home), what did Tom Bombadil wear upon his head?

My guess:
A hat with a blue feather in it.

[Spock]

autumn leaves

[Lotesse]

Spock is correct - autumn leaves it was! :)

[Spock]

Oh, well, I'm off to check out what's on for the season on AMC & FMC and so this quick one:

According to who, what is "quite as dangerous as Black Riders"

[Lotesse]

According to Fredegar Bolger, taking the route of the Old Forest was as dangerous as Black Riders... yes?

[Spock]

According to Fredegar Bolger, taking the route of the Old Forest was as dangerous as Black Riders... yes?


Indeed! You don't seem to ever sleep :D

[Lotesse]

I sleep! :D

After how long after Bilbo's 111th birthday bash did Gandalf reappear, to pay Frodo a visit?

[Spock]

I sleep! :D



you could have fooled me :eek:

[Spock]

I sleep! :D

After how long after Bilbo's 111th birthday bash did Gandalf reappear, to pay Frodo a visit?

It was over 9 years.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

8 years?

[Lotesse]

No, and no.

[durinsbane2244]

er, forgive the cheapness, or it could be a trick question and im right, but didn't he come that night? [buh buh buuuuh]

[Spock]

Ok, the first visit after the party was 3 years.

[Lotesse]

Yes, Spock; you are correct. :)

[Spock]

Who first noticed Bilbo turning invisible and under what circumstances

[Pytt]

Wasn't that Merry? Seeing Bilbo walking on the road, and I don't remeber the name, that awfull relative of Bilbo came down the road, so Bilbo used the ring.

Edit: Wow. This must be my first Trivia post in 10.000 years or something.

[Spock]

Edit: Wow. This must be my first Trivia post in 10.000 years or something.

You got it. See your Norwegian stick-to-it-tivit-ness got you through. :D

[Pytt]

And then it was the bit about posting a question...

Okay.

How early is Frodo awaken when they are leaving Crickhollow?

[Lotesse]

Four AM?

[Pytt]

No, I'm sorry. But a good guess.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Six Thirty?

[Acalewia]

Before Dawn?

90 second rule is EVIL!!!

[Lotesse]

five o'clock? I can't believe I don't remember this. I think I even did this same trivia question ages ago! *thunks head against palm of hand*

[Gandalfthegray]

6:00 am

[Spock]

0430hrs. :)

[Pytt]

0430hrs. :)

Your correct Spock. Good guesses everyone.

[Spock]

What did Sam see when he looked in the Mirrormere? :confused:

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

He didn't say.

[Spock]

He didn't say.

You know, I saw you on line and said "he's gonna get this right away" :eek:

You go.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Who asked him what he saw?

[Spock]

Who asked him what he saw?

Pippin

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Crrect. Your go Spock.

[Spock]

How many days had the Fellowship traveled after leaving Galadriel before they saw Tol Brandir?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Three?

[Spock]

Sorry, I had posted the reply, I'm sure of it. Well, no is the reply. :(

[durinsbane2244]

er, 2 or 4?

[Spock]

Nyet!

[Spock]

Well 72 hrs. and no one has gotten it, another 24 and I'll toss it to someone else.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Five?

[Acalewia]

Seven

they were trying to get away from the 90 second rule, as well :D

[Spock]

Seven


NOPE YOU ARE TOTALLY WRONG. :( :D



---------------------------------------------------
Illigitimi Non Carborundum

[mithrand1r]

NOPE YOU ARE TOTALLY WRONG. :( :D

On another note; would you please post the next question as I'll be away for a few days. :D

---------------------------------------------------
Illigitimi Non Carborundum

IIRC, I think it was 10 days.


If my answer is correct, please have someone else post the new question, since I am just taking a brief break from class work and I am not sure when I will return. Thanks.

[Spock]

IIRC, I think it was 10 days.
If my answer is correct, please have someone else post the new question, since I am just taking a brief break from class work and I am not sure when I will return. Thanks.






Damn, and I just edited my post, IT IS SO GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK ***PLUS YOU WERE CORRECT****
now I'll re-ask Acalewia to post next.

[Acalewia]

When did the Fellowship discover Frodo's Mithril Mail Coat?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

When Aragorn was looking at his wound, on the journey between Moria and Lothlorien.

[durinsbane2244]

was it between moria and lothlorien? i know in the movie they made it earlier, but...wait...yes, it was outside...

[neofloyd]

When Frodo was wounded in Moria, to easy :p .

[Acalewia]

Telcontar Dunedain got it. Your go.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

I'm quite busy at the moment, so I won't be able to get online much so someone else can take my go, but if no question has been posted next time I'm online, I'll post.

[mithrand1r]

I'm quite busy at the moment, so I won't be able to get online much so someone else can take my go, but if no question has been posted next time I'm online, I'll post.

What was reclaimed from the Mathom House in 3001 and by whom?

[Serenoli]

Is it the mithril-coat that Bilbo took back to give to Frodo? I haven't my book with me, so I have no idea if that happened in 3001 or not...

[mithrand1r]

Is it the mithril-coat that Bilbo took back to give to Frodo? I haven't my book with me, so I have no idea if that happened in 3001 or not...

Correct.

I think that my mention of the mathom house made this too easy.

I do not think that is says directly when Bilbo tok the mithril coat. It is more through indirect mention that one can work out when Bilbo took the coat.

Your turn.

[Serenoli]

I think that my mention of the mathom house made this too easy.

Yes, and the fact that the question just before yours was also about this same mithril coat...

My turn... darn, my book isn't with me! I'll just have to ask something off the top of my head...

'How many days after Frodo and Co. left Bree, did Gandalf turn up there?'

[Pytt]

Three?

[Spock]

Gandalf found out by speaking with Butterbur that they had left that very morning with Strider.

[Serenoli]

Spock, its your go.

[Spock]

What date did Frodo get transported to Rivendell, after "falling". And how long before he regained consciousness?

[durinsbane2244]

oooh, oooh, curse you lazy nature! the book calls to me, but so does the magnetic attraction between me rear and me chair!!!! [scientific, that] :D

[mithrand1r]

What date did Frodo get transported to Rivendell, after "falling". And how long before he regained consciousness?

I think Frodo was delivered to Rivendell on October, 20, 3018

IIRC, Frodo was "out" for four days.

I wish all a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving Day.

(Although, I think that the Canadians have the jump on the US since IIRC, they celebrate Thanksgiving Day in October on the 2nd Monday.) ;) :D

I'll be back either Friday night or Saturday. see you then.

[Spock]

IIRC, Frodo was "out" for four days.
.

you ALMOST got it....try again, please. ;)

[Curubethion]

This belongs in Appendix Trivia, I think...but I'm too lazy to look it up.:D

[durinsbane2244]

4 days and 5 nights? oh, and wh'ats IIRC?

[Spock]

Still not "spot on"

IIRC
if
I
remember
correctly

[mithrand1r]

you ALMOST got it....try again, please. ;)

ok.

What date did Frodo get transported to Rivendell, after "falling". And how long before he regained consciousness?

IIRC, (If I Recall/Remember Correctly) Frodo was at the Ford of Bruinen on October 20, 3018, when he collapse on Glorfindel's horse Asfaloth after facing the nine riders.

He was delivered as quickly as possible to rivendell.
(If Frodo did not arrive at Rivendell on the 20, then I guess he arrived on the 21 of October.)

He awoke on October 24, 3018 with Gandalf at his side. The splinter was removed from him the night before by Elrond.

[Spock]

With all that, you missed it YET. sigh....another day and I'll toss the question to a new Mooter. :(

[Serenoli]

Three days and four nights? Think Gandlaf said sth about three days...

[mithrand1r]

With all that, you missed it YET. sigh....another day and I'll toss the question to a new Mooter. :(

You know that words have new meanings. ;)

I'll try again. I know it is not always easy to answer the question exactly as it should be answered.

Frodo was brought unconscious to Rivendell by elves on the night of the 20th of October. He regained consciousness after four days of unconsciousness.


Frodo was brought unconscious to Rivendell by elves on the night of the 20th. He awoke on the morning of the 24th of October at about 10 o'clock. (at least that is what Gandalf stated to Fordo in the book, IIRC)

[Spock]

Three days and four nights? Think Gandlaf said sth about three days...

YES!! WE HAVE A WINNER :D Well as close as we're going to get. Since no one got it in the right order, I award this to Serenoli. :p

In "Many Meetings" Frodo can't account why it's the 24th and Gandalf says...."well four nights and three days, to be exact."

[durinsbane2244]

wow...good one spocko, yet sad it took so long since it was right in the book...bah...

[Serenoli]

YES!! WE HAVE A WINNER Well as close as we're going to get. Since no one got it in the right order, I award this to Serenoli.

In "Many Meetings" Frodo can't account why it's the 24th and Gandalf says...."well four nights and three days, to be exact."
__________________

Really, Spock, how much pickier can you get? I need to get it in the right order now?? :mad: :rolleyes:

Question:
How many people were invited to the dinner under the party tree at Bag End? Why was this paricular number chosen?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

144 and the main reason was because Frodo's age (33) added to Bilbo's age (111) is 144.

[Spock]

Really, Spock, how much pickier can you get? I need to get it in the right order now?? :mad: :rolleyes:


YES! :evil: That's why it's Trivia. If you don't get it correct what's the point of a question. I awarded the answer to you because no one else had mentioned day/night. :(

[durinsbane2244]

you tell 'em spocko....except me, don't do that to me....please....

[Serenoli]

144 and the main reason was because Frodo's age (33) added to Bilbo's age (111) is 144.

Thats right. Although I was rather hoping to hear the words 'One Gross'! So its your turn.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

What things do not go wrong for Strider?

[mithrand1r]

What things do not go wrong for Strider?

IIRC, his short cuts do not go wrong.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

That is correct, but there is something else that I am looking for as well.

[Spock]

Gee we're slowing down. I guess the approaching holidays are keeping people busy.

....oh well.... :confused:

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

The next part is very similar to the part Mithrand1r gave, but if no body guesses it within the next 48hrs then Mithrand1r can post the next question.

[mithrand1r]

The next part is very similar to the part Mithrand1r gave, but if no body guesses it within the next 48hrs then Mithrand1r can post the next question.

How about:

"My cuts, short or long, don't go wrong."

[durinsbane2244]

ah, yes, short cuts and long cuts...clever...

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

How about:

Angelica Baggins

Correct your turn.

Bilbo gave her a convex mirror.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Name one of the elves that was with Haldir as the Fellowship arrived in Lothlorien.

[mithrand1r]

Name one of the elves that was with Haldir as the Fellowship arrived in Lothlorien.

I nominate "Orophin" to join Haldir to greet the visitors from the north.

If this is correct, I will need someone else to write the next question, since I will have limited access to the computer till thursday evening (EST, GMT-5).

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Correct.

[durinsbane2244]

ok, i shall give the next question than...muah ha ha...er, what are the flashes Frodo sees in the night?

[Spock]

The caution sign at the M4 off ramp :D

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Gandalf fighting off the Nazgûl on Weathertop?

[durinsbane2244]

no, though i originally thought that too...

[Serenoli]

it was NOT the nazgul-Gandalf fight? I am shocked at this startling new piece of news...

hmmm... maybe there was a storm? (which is probably wrong, but still..)

[Spock]

Gee, I thought Weathertop also; in FOTR. Hmm, this should prove interesting.

[mithrand1r]

ok, i shall give the next question than...muah ha ha...er, what are the flashes Frodo sees in the night?

I thought it was the Gandalf-Nazgul encounter as well.

I now think they are like lightning that leaps up from the hill-tops.

[durinsbane2244]

go check the books...haha, gotcha spocko... :p

[durinsbane2244]

come on...it's in there exactly...

[Spock]

ok, i shall give the next question than...muah ha ha...er, what are the flashes Frodo sees in the night?


Gandalf fighting the Balrog?

[Lotesse]

Maybe the flashes Frodo sees in the night are little fireflies over the swamp. Fireflies or flashy ghosts, or something. :rolleyes:

[durinsbane2244]

incorrect, all around!

[Lotesse]

Is it stars in his eyes because somebody's been hitting him?

[durinsbane2244]

if it was elijah, i wish...nay...

[durinsbane2244]

ok, ok, hint: they're silver flashes...

[Lotesse]

Is it the mithril in Moria?

[durinsbane2244]

no...

[mithrand1r]

ok, i shall give the next question than...muah ha ha...er, what are the flashes Frodo sees in the night?

Gandalf's staff during trip through moria.

[durinsbane2244]

no...ok, being fair and honest, i trusted too much to the fact that it was a quote, so, i should've given you when it happens...when they're travelling with aragorn, then strider, on the way to rivendell, before weathertop...

[Lotesse]

Gandalf fighting off the Nazgûl on Weathertop?
Hey, then wouldn't TD's answer technically be the right one? I mean, if what Frodo saw when he saw flashes was indeed Gandalf fighting off the Nazgul on Weathertop, then it follows that this answer would be right... ah, well.

[mithrand1r]

no...ok, being fair and honest, i trusted too much to the fact that it was a quote, so, i should've given you when it happens...when they're travelling with aragorn, then strider, on the way to rivendell, before weathertop...

Is this about where you were refering with your question?
Frodo lay down again, but for a long time while he could still see the white flashes, and against them the tall dark figures of Strider, standing silent and watchful. At last he passed into uneasy sleep.

If so, I would agree with Lotesse

[Lotesse]

So, durinsbane 2244, is it TD's turn now, or what is your final verdict here? Inquiring minds want to know.

[durinsbane2244]

no, because it would be right, had the flashes indeed been gandalf fighting the nazgul, but it wasn't....another hint, he sees the flashes with strider, we learn of them at the coucil...

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

And they are later confirmed as Gandalf fighting off the Nazgûl.

[mithrand1r]

Were you looking for something similar to this?

As Frodo lay, tired but unable to close his eyes, it seemed to hom that far away there came a light in the eastern sky: it flashed and faded many times. It was not the dawn, for that was still some hours off.

'What is the light?' he said to Strider, who has risen, and was standing, gazing ahead into the night.

'I do not know,' Strider answered. 'It is too distant to make out. It is like lightning that leaps up from the hill-tops.'

Frodo lay down again, but for a long while he could still see the white flashes, and against them the tall dark figure of Strider, standing silent and watchful. At last he passed into uneasy sleep.

and

I was hard put to it indeed: such light and flame cannot have been seen on Weathertop since the war-beacons of old.

[Lotesse]

Then it was Gandalf battling those Nazgul. What else could it possibly have been? Northern lights? A distant thunderstorm? UFOs?

[durinsbane2244]

nope...that's it, i give up on youse guys...you're very stubborn, and very persistent... :D i TOLD you that wasn't it...anyway, Gandalf on Isengard, moonlight on his hair and beard...read Gandalf's part of the Council of Elrond...sheesh...someone else can go...

[Lotesse]

Then, durinsbane 2244, please give us a new trivia question! Pleeease...

[durinsbane2244]

ok, though i doubt i'll be lucky enough to deal a blow such as the last one, what is the meaning of the word mithril? [the tie-in being that frodo gets the mithril coat and it saves his life, though i don't know if this can be found in the FotR, if not, i can give a different one]
