[Acalewia]

Treebeard?

[Spock]

Dave Letterman :D

[Udukhaturz]

Wild guess - Radagast

[Spock]

More days and no reply.....TD, help us out here.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Treebeard?
Correct, your go Acally.

[durinsbane2244]

acalewia...acalewia...

[Acalewia]

Sorry guys :o

What secret of Boramir does Aragorn carry?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

That he tried to take the Ring from Frodo.

[Acalewia]

Yes TD. Your go

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

What did Aragorn look out to see?

[Count Comfect]

The dawn.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Correct, your go CC.

[Count Comfect]

*note* I don't have a copy of the book anywhere near me, so this is probably going to be very easy.

Why is he looking for the dawn?

[Spock]

*note* I don't have a copy of the book anywhere near me, so this is probably going to be very easy.

Why is he looking for the dawn?

hmm, he didn't know what the new day would bring and wanted to tell the orcs that no one has ever taken the Hornburg. Also to reveal his power and royalty and put fear into them.

[durinsbane2244]

er, gandalf comes back?

[Count Comfect]

That'd be Spock being correct.

[Spock]

What's Merry's fathers name?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Saradoc.

[Spock]

Saradoc.

Indeed! :)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

According to Sam, what must the enemy know about?

[Farimir Captain of Gondor]

Their where-bouts? Where they are?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Nope. :)

[Acalewia]

Gollom had the the Ring at one time?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Nope. :)

[Spock]

for, four, 4, days and no guess :(

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

In 24 hours, if there has been no correct answer then whoever is online can post a question.

[Sam]

well that was about 36 hours, so I guess I'll go.

how do you say hello in entish.

[durinsbane2244]

that big ol' horn-ish sound?

[Sam]

Nope.

[durinsbane2244]

well...taking a tip from faramir...getting hit in the face with a branch?

[Sam]

:p lol :p but that's not it either.

here's a hint, 3 words.

[durinsbane2244]

is it in entish? [prays it's not]

[Sam]

Yes, in entish.

[durinsbane2244]

curses...

[Sam]

Here's another hint.
all three words start with the letter H.

[Acalewia]

hroom?

[Sam]

good try Acally, but that's not it either.
Remember, it's three words that start with the letter H.

[Farimir Captain of Gondor]

Well, if he's greeting hobbits it's "Howdy happy hobbits!" :D

Yeah, I was thinkin' it was a branch to the face but, ehh. :p

[Sam]

good try :) but no.

[durinsbane2244]

hroom hroom hroom?

[Sam]

Not quite.

Hint, it's thre DIFFERENT words.

[Spock]

well that was about 36 hours, so I guess I'll go.

how do you say hello in entish.

what about what Treebeard shouted as he went to the Entmoot;

hoom, hom, hoom ?

[jammi567]

boom, boom,rumboom, boorar, boom boom, dahrar boom boom, dahrar boom? :)

[Spock]

It's been 5 days and if Sam doesn't stop by tomorrow to help us out with a new question, we'll have to give it to someone.

[Sam]

alright then, new question:
what is the name of the valley of Saruman.


by the way, hello in entish is Hm, ha, hey!

[durinsbane2244]

isengard...

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Nan Curunir

[Sam]

Nan Curunir
correct :)

Your go TD.

[Spock]

SAM please post the next question as TD informed me he'd be away for several days.

Thanks. :)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

I can post a question tomorrow. I'm just popping on for two minutes but I have no books.

[Spock]

HEY TD you said that two days ago. :eek: How about it? :)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

What will the king keep?

[durinsbane2244]

the palantir, o' course!

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Nope. Do you really think I would make it that obvious? ;)

[durinsbane2244]

well...he did say that...

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

This is TT Trivia. IIRC Aragorn said that in RotK.

[jammi567]

the palantir, o' course!

he does acept it in the TT, but only uses it in RotK.

"Now my hour draws near. I will take it"

[durinsbane2244]

yay! i beat the system! *does his 'yay, i beat the system' dance* ;)

[Spock]

So do we have an answer yet? :confused: or a new question :eek:

[durinsbane2244]

i think my answer was true, but not what he wanted, so now we're pending...stand-by.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Nope not correct. Aragorn said that in RotK not TT so the answer is not valid. :)

[durinsbane2244]

curses...

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Nope.

[jammi567]

he does say that in the Two Towers, book 3, chapter 11. :mad:

[Spock]

What will the king keep?



the palantir, o' course!

In the Two Towers, Chapter XI, Aragorn says: "Dangerous indeed, but not to all, there is one who may claim it by right. For this assuredly is the palantir of Orthanc from the treasury of Elendil set here by the Kings of Gondor. Now my hour draws near. I will take it. ....then to the surprise of all Gandalf lifted the stone and bowed as he presented it.

Based on that, DB should be awarded the question, yes?

[durinsbane2244]

yes...well...i will be perfectly fine not getting it if that's not the answer he wanted... :D

[jammi567]

no, you're correct by the sounds of it, so you should post the next question.

[durinsbane2244]

well, you know, there can be multiple answers, and i obviously didn't get the one he wanted. it happens.

[Spock]

TD, how about posting a new question and perhaps advising us if the DB answer was correct??????

[durinsbane2244]

indeed, i would like to know what you were looking for.

[durinsbane2244]

so yeah...TD...let's gooooo...

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

DB was not correct. It explicitly says "I will keep Eomer and ten riders," the king said. Keep, not take.
DB you can post a new question anyway.

[durinsbane2244]

alright than. that was odd. what burns smeagol?

[Sam]

rope.

[durinsbane2244]

the elvish rope, yeah. your go.

[Sam]

who does Legolas refer to as "the winged messenger"?

[durinsbane2244]

the nazgul on the...well...they're referred to as "fell beasts" i think...who first crossed the river, whom he promptly shoots down...

[Sam]

that's it! :D

your go

[durinsbane2244]

hm. what does legolas see with his elf eyes?

[Sam]

the orcs that are carrying merry and pippin through Rohan?

[durinsbane2244]

nope.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Doesn't a mist cloud his vision?

[durinsbane2244]

nope.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

The Golden Hall

[durinsbane2244]

*sigh* nope.

[Sam]

the way to helms deep?

[durinsbane2244]

i do like your fighting spirit, but no...

[Sam]

um... Isengard?

[durinsbane2244]

this is sad...nope.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

A darkness?

[Acalewia]

The smoke from the fires the Rohrimm used to burn the dead orcs?

[durinsbane2244]

maybe a new question than? no.

[Sam]

a new question would be nice, go ahead :)

[durinsbane2244]

hm...what is the first (and i believe only) task aragorn does grudgingly?

[Sam]

leaving his sword outside the golden hall.

[durinsbane2244]

right you are.

[Sam]

sweet! :D alrighty then, what does samwise say half remorsefully?

[durinsbane2244]

when he apologizes to smeagol?

[Sam]

close, but no.

[Sam]

would any one else like to try?

[durinsbane2244]

hm...i'm utterly at a loss here...i was sure that was it :(

[Sam]

here, let me give you a hint,
he says it while watching smeagol sleep.

[Sam]

did that not help?

[durinsbane2244]

er...maybe he's not so bad? :confused:

[Sam]

ha, nice try. but you are incorrect

[drew7uk]

Sure, I'll have a go :)

Somewhere in the first half of the book, who finds tokens 'damasked in gold and red'?

Drew

[Sam]

when i said "would any one else like to try?", i was asking if any one else would like to try to answer my question, not make there own. Sorry for any confusion that may have caused :o

[Spock]

Well no matter how you look at it ANOTHER 5 days have gone and no one has a) guessed an answer or b) posted a new question.

PLEASE somebody :(

[jammi567]

Sure, I'll have a go :)

Somewhere in the first half of the book, who finds tokens 'damasked in gold and red'?

Drew
Tom bombabil.

[durinsbane2244]

tom was in the fellowship, and this thread lies forgotten... :(

[jammi567]

Aragon, when he finds the hobbits swords.

[Spock]

tom was in the fellowship, and this thread lies forgotten... :(


1. the book yes, the group no.

2. indeed!

[jammi567]

ok...what is the last thing anyone says in the book?

[Spock]

ok...what is the last thing anyone says in the book?

While it isn't stated, it is written into the narrative:

"Sam yelled and brandished Sting .........." :cool:

[jammi567]

ummmmm, no, that's totally wrong.

[Spock]

Not truly, just not what you were looking for. :D

How about: "Will he." said Sam "You're forgetting the great big elvish warrior that's loose!"

[jammi567]

yes, that's correct, your go.

[durinsbane2244]

sooo...spock...ello spock...

[Spock]

fortunately our rules for trivia permit 'down time' between answers and questions no matter in which order-also it may shock some, but I actually have a life and don't live on the board although at times it may feel that way.


How many rode with the King to Helm's Deep?

[durinsbane2244]

ah, well, i only posted that because you had just been on and i didn't know if you still were and i didn't want you to overlook it... :D i'm sure you have a real life, spock...right guys? :rolleyes: hehehe... :p

[durinsbane2244]

sooo...i don't know...anyone else help? :(

[Spock]

FOUR -4- DAYS AND NO GUESS


I pass the torch.

ANYONE, please post a new question. :(

[Spock]

7 DAYS and no one has posted a new question.......................sigh :(

[Sam]

sure, i'll post one.

Frodo, Sam, and Gollum come to an intersection somewhere in the later part of the second half of the book. What does gollum say about the water that they would find if they take the center road all the way to the end?

[Sam]

no? nothing?

[Spock]

sure, i'll post one.

Frodo, Sam, and Gollum come to an intersection somewhere in the later part of the second half of the book. What does gollum say about the water that they would find if they take the center road all the way to the end?

"a hundred leagues until you see the Great Water that is never still"....there are many fishes there. :)

[Sam]

that was the xact answer that i was looking for :D


your go :)

[Spock]

How wide the wall at the Hornburg?

[durinsbane2244]

i dunno, but a big fat BUMP!

;)

[Spock]

that wasn't very helpful :)

[durinsbane2244]

i thought it might get the attention of someone who could help. ;)

[Spock]

How wide the wall at the Hornburg?


Four days and no correct guess.... :( :o

[Serenoli]

if its the Deeping wall, four men could walk side-by-side on it.... but thats not a very accurate guess of its width... still. :)

[Spock]

How wide the wall at the Hornburg?


if its the Deeping wall, four men could walk side-by-side on it.... but thats not a very accurate guess of its width... still. :)


Actually yes, the quote: "The Deeping Wall was twenty feet high, and so thinck that four men could walk abreast along the top......"

That states how wide is was.

YUGO! :p

[Sam]

Hello.... Serenoli.... you still there?

[gwilwileth]

Ok fine. I was lookin for The sarcophagus of Balin but i'll give it to u Durin's bane. Your turn then

[durinsbane2244]

wrong thread, mate. i believe this was intended for the trilogy trivia, and we're already under control there.

;)

[gwilwileth]

I'm sooo lost; im sorry. I dont come on here everyday so i ono whats goin on. Just ignore me. Sorry again!

[Sam]

Serenoli, it's still your turn to post,

[Serenoli]

I'm so sorry! Completely forgot I'd posted... :(

Anyway, since none of you took my question, (so kind :rolleyes: ) here's my question:

Under whose rule was the Golden Hall of Meduseld built?

[Bullroarer]

"Dark have been my dreams of late." he said, "but I feel as one new-awakened. I would now that you had come before, Gandalf. For I fear that already you have come too late, only to see the last days of my house. Not long now shall stand the high hall which Brego son of Eorl built. Fire shall devour the high seat. What is to be done?" - Theoden

[Sam]

really, i was under the impression that it was eorl himself, but i guess quotes don't lie.

[Serenoli]

Bullroarer, you got it right in one! Nope, quotes don't lie... :cool: Your turn.

[Bullroarer]

Tell me, what were the names of the two Rangers of Ithilien under the order of Faramir who were to guard the Halflings?

[Sam]

Yes :D , i know this one!!!

their names were Mablung and Damrod.

[Bullroarer]

Correct. You may proceed.

[Sam]

I regret to announce that this is the end, i am going now and i do not think i shall return.



actually, i am going to disneyland for a week so someone else can post :)

[Sam]

wow... i'm back and no one took my offer, so i guess i'll just post then :confused:

which three heros had been "driven back into the deep"

[Serenoli]

Ok, I'm guessing Aragorn, Eomer and Gimli.

[Sam]

well, you got two of them correct... but you need to get all three.

[durinsbane2244]

substitue legolas for aragorn?

[Sam]

not quite.

[Serenoli]

well, then, Legolas for Gimli?

[Sam]

hint, Gimli and Eomer are correct

[Farimir Captain of Gondor]

It's either Hama or Grimbold(sp?)..I can't remember which. I'll leave it up to you guys to pick which one you want to go with. ;)

[Sam]

I'm sorry, but both answers are incorrect


btw (Grimbold was kind of close, but not close enough)

[Sam]

come on people, don't give up hope yet,

here's a hint; the mystery member's nick name is "the old"

[Serenoli]

Gamling!

[Sam]

Yes! :D

your turn :)

[Serenoli]

According to a VERY old ent, what are Wizards always troubling themselves about?

[jammi567]

magic/sorcery?

[Serenoli]

No, I'm sorry. try again :)

[jammi567]

the affairs of Men?

[Spock]

Seventeen Days And No Action. :( :(

[jammi567]

Yeah, come on Serenoli, we're all waiting.

[Serenoli]

I'm sorry, Spock and Jammi, I haven't been online last couple days.

Anyway, the answer is 'The Future'.

I suppose one of you could post a question... whichever gets here first, I suppose. :)

[Spock]

That was a fair question Serenoli, and none of us got it. Good one for you!

Let's let Jammin ask the next one. :)

[jammi567]

Ok, then. What's the last action that Sam does?

[Spock]

...he hurled himself against the bolted brazen plates and fell senseless to the ground.........

[jammi567]

Damm you Spock, obvoiusly too easy :) . Your go.

[Spock]

OK, easy one for you:

How many ent-strides before Pippin lost count?

[jammi567]

Was it about 70,000ish?

[Spock]

Was it about 70,000ish?

:eek: nope

[Serenoli]

Maybe, around 2,000.

[Spock]

sorry, :(

[Sam]

1,000?

[Spock]

1,000?
nononono :rolleyes:

[jammi567]

10,000.

[Spock]

SERENOLI

Please take the next new question.

After six days and no correct answer I pass this to you while saving the anser for another time. :evil:

[Serenoli]

Hey, thanks for the freebie, Spock! :rolleyes:

How long did it take Saruman's army to pass out of the gates of Isengard?

[Spock]

...it seems no good deed goes unpunished :(

[Sam]

How long did it take Saruman's army to pass out of the gates of Isengard?one hour

[Serenoli]

Sam, you've got it! :)

And, Spock, punishment? :confused: :rolleyes:

[Sam]

sweetness :D

what does the name orthanc mean in elvish?

[mithrand1r]

sweetness :D

what does the name orthanc mean in elvish?

Orcs in the House. ;)

I think it has something to do with teeth or fangs.

[Sam]

I think it has something to do with teeth or fangs.
"fang" is the second part of the word

[mithrand1r]

"fang" is the second part of the word

Clever Fangs

White Fangs

Orc Fangs

Warg Fangs

Sharp Fangs

[Sam]

no, no, no, no, and no.

fang, not fangs.

[mithrand1r]

no, no, no, no, and no.

fang, not fangs.

oops. :o

I need to be more careful in how I read.

how about "White Fang" ;) ;)

[Sam]

nope ;) ;)

[Gil-Galad 2.0]

I think Mount Fang is what your thinging of. However, I don't think thats what it was in elvish.

[Sam]

mount fang it is,

your post

[Gil-Galad 2.0]

Pass.

[Sam]

pass??!!

well, in that case, Mithrand1r why don't you take the next question :)

[Spock]

pass??!!

well, in that case, Mithrand1r why don't you take the next question :)


hmmmm, ok, we'll wait as he's not on line right now. :(

[mithrand1r]

hmmmm, ok, we'll wait as he's not on line right now. :(

I am on-line now. ;)

I have not been looking through the forums like I normally do since I am busy with school & work.

Q: What is paler than the ailing moon?

[Spock]

I have not been looking through the forums like I normally do since I am busy with school & work.

Q: What is paler than the ailing moon?

Answer=mithrand1r who doesn't get out in the sun much. :p

[mithrand1r]

Answer=mithrand1r who doesn't get out in the sun much. :p

OK. Besides me (;)) [Today it is raining here in NJ]

Spock, that was a very creative (though perhaps illogical :p) attempt at an answer.

[mithrand1r]

I am on-line now. ;)

I have not been looking through the forums like I normally do since I am busy with school & work.

Q: What is paler than the ailing moon?

Since it has been six days and no correct replies, I will let the next person post a question and reserve this question for a later date.

[jammi567]

Yay!

where's helms deep?

[Sam]

in rohan.

[Sam]

hello? Jammi, you still there?
last time i checked, helm's deep was in rohan. unless you want a more specific location.

[jammi567]

Sorry mate, totally forgot it was my question. yeah, that's correct.

[Sam]

nice :cool:

who cried "Mithrandir, Mithrandir!" at Helm's deep.

[mithrand1r]

nice :cool:

who cried "Mithrandir, Mithrandir!" at Helm's deep.

I think it was Eomer.

[Sam]

nope.

[mithrand1r]

nice :cool:

who cried "Mithrandir, Mithrandir!" at Helm's deep.

Actually, now that I think more about it, I think it should be Legolas. Mithrandir is elvish.

[Sam]

right you are Mithrandir, your post.

[mithrand1r]

right you are Mithrandir, your post.

Thanks.

Q: What is paler than the ailing moon?

Hint: You will need to take this question step by step before you find the answer.
