Thanx, TD! O.K., a 2-part question:

What was the proper name of King Theoden's sword, and where had his sword been kept whilst Theoden was under that awful mind-poisoning spell? (did I word that right? i hope so :confused: )

Spock

10-07-2005, 01:35 PM

Gee, wormtongue hid it in a chest I think , it was named Herugrim

Lotesse

10-09-2005, 12:24 PM

Ah! Mais oui; take it away, Spock!

Spock

10-09-2005, 05:36 PM

Where was the cry "Ai-oi" heard?

Telcontar_Dunedain

10-10-2005, 11:24 AM

The Deeping Wall?

Spock

10-10-2005, 12:04 PM

Excellent, T.D. You go.

Telcontar_Dunedain

10-10-2005, 12:32 PM

Thanks.
At Helms Deep, how many Orcs had Gimli killed, the second time we are told his score?

Rconsole

10-10-2005, 04:56 PM

was it 17? that might have been the first time though....

Telcontar_Dunedain

10-10-2005, 04:57 PM

No, it wasn't 17.

rohirrim TR

10-10-2005, 05:10 PM

two it was...i think

Telcontar_Dunedain

10-11-2005, 11:21 AM

No, not two.

Lotesse

10-12-2005, 10:13 PM

For some reason I instantly think the number "21". I know why; it's because of seeing the movie, the part where John Rhys-Davies is counting his kills out loud, and goes "Twenty-one!" in that Scottish-style accent he uses. It's STUCK in my head like that.

Telcontar_Dunedain

10-13-2005, 02:11 PM

Correct. Your go Lotesse

Lotesse

10-17-2005, 03:44 PM

Sorry 4 such the long wait, you guys - you know, I just assumed I was incorrect & forgot all about it! So I was right - trip on that! O.K., new question...

Frodo tells Faramir that Aragorn was the leader of their Company from where to where?

Spock

10-17-2005, 03:46 PM

"whose the leader of the club......." MICKEY MOUSE!! :) :)

Rconsole

10-17-2005, 03:51 PM

from Bree to Rivendell?

Lotesse

10-17-2005, 03:56 PM

Nope!

rohirrim TR

10-17-2005, 05:05 PM

from moria to...amon hen?

Lotesse

10-17-2005, 06:10 PM

Nyet!

Radagast The Brown

10-17-2005, 06:12 PM

To the Rauros?

Lotesse

10-17-2005, 06:15 PM

It's a two part question, Raddy - from where to where? :)

Radagast The Brown

10-17-2005, 06:59 PM

Well I thought Moria was rather obvious. :p

Lotesse

10-17-2005, 07:29 PM

I wanted the answer together; didn't want to help hint at separate answer replies. :) It's all or nothin' baby!

Anyway - c'est vrai, so it's all yours Radagast! :)

Radagast The Brown

10-17-2005, 07:45 PM

What does Gollum say happened to him after he climbed the tree in the elf-country?

Rconsole

10-17-2005, 08:30 PM

he said that he couldn't wash the stink out of his hands, does that qualify?

Radagast The Brown

10-17-2005, 08:47 PM

Aye. Your turn. :)

Rconsole

10-18-2005, 09:35 PM

In what order were Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas disarmed by Gandalf?

Serenoli

10-19-2005, 06:35 AM

Easy! Gimli, Aragorn and then Legolas. :cool:

Rconsole

10-19-2005, 07:27 AM

lol I knew that would be the first guess, Nope, read carefully

Spock

10-19-2005, 12:03 PM

First Legolas bow fell, and then Gimli stood still as stone....it doesn't mention Aragorn-only in the Movie was he disarmed.

Telcontar_Dunedain

10-19-2005, 12:14 PM

Actually I think it does mention that Anduril blazed like a fire. So it would be Legolas, Gimli and then Aragorn.

Spock

10-19-2005, 12:38 PM

First Legolas bow fell, and then Gimli stood still as stone....it doesn't mention Aragorn-only in the Movie was he disarmed.

OK, that was the first mention in the book.

The second mention, after they had started talking with him says that'

"Gimli's axe leaped from his grasp, the sword of Aragorn, stiff in his motionless hand blazed with fire, Legolas gave a great shout and shot an wrrot high into the air; it vanished in a flash of flame".

So Gimli, Aragorn and Legolas is my FINAL ANSWER :D

Rconsole

10-19-2005, 04:01 PM

First Legolas bow fell, and then Gimli stood still as stone....it doesn't mention Aragorn-only in the Movie was he disarmed.

thats right, I actually misread the book, it never says aragorn was disarmed just that Anduril blazed with a sudden fire, So Spock your first answer is right :)

Spock

10-19-2005, 07:15 PM

Who said " I don't trust you little swine".

Telcontar_Dunedain

10-20-2005, 03:04 AM

Sam?

Spock

10-20-2005, 06:48 AM

Nope

The Witch-King of Angmar

10-20-2005, 08:52 AM

Was it Ugluk?

Spock

10-20-2005, 12:45 PM

Was it Ugluk?

Yes. :)

Spock

10-24-2005, 12:38 PM

I've PM'd wkoa AND we'll give him 24hrs before asking someone else to post a question.
I'm sorry I missed this posts absence for so long :confused:

Lotesse

10-24-2005, 07:08 PM

Can you make a new question for us, Spock? :)

Curubethion

10-24-2005, 07:09 PM

I guess I have to sympathize with WK here...:D but I think the rules state that Spock could post a question.

Spock

10-25-2005, 01:44 AM

Well I did state, in post # 43, that I'd wait 24hrs., so we wait until roughly 1pm before I'll post the next question.

The Witch-King of Angmar

10-25-2005, 02:08 AM

sorry about the wait guys, my internet has been playing up...

What is the name given to the cave behind the waterfall that spilled into the Forbidden Pool?

Curubethion

10-25-2005, 10:48 PM

Hmm...Henneth Annun?

The Witch-King of Angmar

10-26-2005, 01:27 AM

Yep you go

Curubethion

10-26-2005, 10:36 PM

Ok...what can I do...what was suggested to have frayed on the edge of a rock in Emyn Muil?

Serenoli

10-27-2005, 05:14 AM

The elven rope that Sam and Frodo used to get down the cliff in Emyn Muil, because it came down after them.

Spock

10-27-2005, 10:42 AM

Ok...what can I do...what was suggested to have frayed on the edge of a rock in Emyn Muil?

Gee, it wasn't the rope 'cause when Sam 'called the rope' and it untied itself, Frodo said "the rope must have broken-frayed on the rock-edge, I expect". To which Sam said "I bet it didn't" and then examined the ends and stated "nor it hasn't neither, not a strand!"

very good, ya got me, I missed the word "suggested" :o

Lotesse

10-27-2005, 06:46 PM

What Spock said. The only possibility I could come up with would be someone's coat, or cloak or something, but I don't remember ever having read about any clothing getting frayed, either... :confused: New question, please. :)

Curubethion

10-27-2005, 08:54 PM

Spock got it.
It appears there's been a little bit of ambiguity...when I said "suggested", I meant "suggested by Sam", as opposed to "suggested by Tolkien"...who cares, your turn. :D

The Witch-King of Angmar

10-28-2005, 03:40 AM

Wouldn't it be Serenoli? that answer was right...

Telcontar_Dunedain

10-28-2005, 05:05 AM

Yes, Serenoli did give the correct answer first. Or was that no correct? :confused:

The Witch-King of Angmar

10-28-2005, 07:58 AM

It was correct, the word "suggested" just wasn't drawn attention to...

Spock

10-28-2005, 10:40 AM

....taps fingers on keyboard.....

I'll wait a day and see if "S" responds, otherwise, I'll take it. ;)

Serenoli

10-28-2005, 04:14 PM

I did get it right, and I was debating internally whether to be indignantly silent, or indignantly voluble :evil: . Here's my question, then:

"What customs do the men of Gondor follow before a meal?" [three are mentioned]

Lotesse

10-28-2005, 04:30 PM

They pause for a moment of silence, while looking West. I can't remember a third, unless it is that they wash their hands in the bowl of water which Sam washed his face with!

The Witch-King of Angmar

10-28-2005, 08:19 PM

They pause for a moment of silence, while looking West, Bow to there host and wash their face?

Serenoli

10-28-2005, 11:49 PM

First two correct, third wrong

Valandil

10-29-2005, 02:17 AM

The pausing and looking West is before the meal, IIRC - after the meal they RISE and thank their host. :)

(the Hobbits of the Shire do the second two)

Spock

10-29-2005, 03:26 AM

First-turn and face the west
Second- bow to the host
Third-after eating,Rise and thank the host

The Witch-King of Angmar

10-29-2005, 09:24 AM

But thanking is after the meal, 'S' said before...

Rise to face the west, bow to the host, then drink wine before eating? :confused:

Serenoli

10-29-2005, 11:01 AM

Oh dear, Witch King, my mistake :o , I really wanted the answers that Valandil and Spock gave, but I never thought much about 'after' or 'before'. Since, I made the mistake, I'll give it to you. you got two-thirds right anyway :)

Spock

10-29-2005, 11:12 AM

A most fair decision. :)

The Witch-King of Angmar

10-29-2005, 08:05 PM

Oh... Thanks... :D

How does Faramir find out Frodo has the One Ring?

Lotesse

10-29-2005, 08:11 PM

Sam accidentally mentions it, or alludes to it, while they were all talking at Henneth Annun.

The Witch-King of Angmar

10-31-2005, 01:33 AM

Dang i need to think of harder questions... your turn :(

Lotesse

10-31-2005, 06:25 PM

What did Grishnakh say was "the apple of the Great Eye?"

Telcontar_Dunedain

10-31-2005, 06:48 PM

The Nazgûl

Lotesse

10-31-2005, 07:21 PM

Of COURSE my fellow Nazgul would get this one right!! :cool: It's all yours, TD! :)

Telcontar_Dunedain

11-02-2005, 06:51 PM

And by that he obviously meant Khamûl! ;)

What did Gandalf not know about Frodo's departure from the Fellowship?

Rconsole

11-02-2005, 07:06 PM

And by that he obviously meant Khamûl! ;)

What did Gandalf not know about Frodo's departure from the Fellowship?

that Sam went with Frodo?

Bombadillo

11-03-2005, 12:06 AM

I think that he wasn't being pursued.

Lotesse

11-03-2005, 12:42 AM

That Frodo had packed a nine-iron with him, in case anything UNTOWARD were to happen? Sorry- just got back from a Chianti-infused dinner, carry on... :D

Spock

11-03-2005, 08:04 AM

That he had waited long past the time Gandalf had wanted him to leave the Shire.

Telcontar_Dunedain

11-03-2005, 01:12 PM

Rconsole is correct.
Spock, that was in FotR!

Spock

11-03-2005, 01:26 PM

Rconsole is correct.
Spock, that was in FotR!

of course it was...my desk has way too much stuff on it.

Spock

11-05-2005, 12:22 PM

We'll give 'em another 24 and then give the new question option to someone else. :(

Lotesse

11-05-2005, 06:27 PM

It's Rconsole, right? Come on, Rconsole; you're up! Give us a question, please! :)

Spock

11-06-2005, 11:29 AM

ok, here goes a new question:

Who said, in part: "For you at least I am grieved".?

Acalewia

11-06-2005, 09:55 PM

Gandalf?

Spock

11-07-2005, 12:54 AM

nope

The Witch-King of Angmar

11-07-2005, 06:46 AM

Treebeard? lol

Rconsole

11-07-2005, 08:38 PM

ok, here goes a new question:

Who said, in part: "For you at least I am grieved".?

Theoden?

Gandalfthegray

11-07-2005, 09:28 PM

Aragorn

Spock

11-08-2005, 08:12 AM

Nope.

Telcontar_Dunedain

11-08-2005, 12:44 PM

Eomer?

Spock

11-08-2005, 12:49 PM

Nah. :(

Telcontar_Dunedain

11-08-2005, 12:51 PM

Faramir?

Spock

11-08-2005, 04:16 PM

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooo :(

Lotesse

11-08-2005, 04:58 PM

Wow, we're running out of candidates. And I really combed Two Towers last night, looking 4 this one. Was it... Legolas?

Spock

11-08-2005, 09:32 PM

el zippo :(

The Witch-King of Angmar

11-09-2005, 02:41 AM

Bregalad?? (Quickbeam)

Serenoli

11-09-2005, 11:03 PM

Spock

11-10-2005, 08:19 AM

Pity I didn't see this question before. Could have saved all the speculation. It is so obviously Saruman, and he was saying it to Gandalf, or Theoden, I forget which. But it was Saruman, Curunir, old Sharkey, whatever you like to call him.

At the time, he was just Saruman. You are correct.
It was a good run but now Serenoli gets to post the next queston. :eek:

Serenoli

11-10-2005, 11:52 PM

Who was the rider of Felaróf?

The Witch-King of Angmar

11-11-2005, 02:11 AM

Wasn't it Eorl the Young?

Serenoli

11-12-2005, 01:42 AM

Got it in one! your go, Witchy King.

The Witch-King of Angmar

11-12-2005, 08:10 AM

i thought that was right :D

ok, who said 'The time for fear is passed'?

Telcontar_Dunedain

11-12-2005, 10:41 AM

Sounds like something Gandalf would say.

The Witch-King of Angmar

11-12-2005, 10:48 PM

Nope...

Acalewia

11-13-2005, 09:28 PM

Aragorn

I'm Afraid not...

Acalewia

11-14-2005, 06:03 PM

Saraman?

The Witch-King of Angmar

11-16-2005, 03:00 AM

Telcontar_Dunedain

11-21-2005, 05:09 PM

Soory for the delay guys. I'm still quite busy so someone else can take my go, but I'll post asap if nobody does.

Spock

11-21-2005, 05:12 PM

Well, you're here and posted in other book trivia....give us a quick question....there are only a few of us who are "in" this. :)

Telcontar_Dunedain

11-21-2005, 05:17 PM

What did Eomer and Aragorn say their swords were 'for'?

The Witch-King of Angmar

11-22-2005, 09:38 AM

Guthwine for the Mark

Anduril for the... Dunedain? :confused:

Telcontar_Dunedain

11-22-2005, 12:59 PM

Correct. Your go.

The Witch-King of Angmar

11-23-2005, 03:22 AM

REALLY? :eek:

i can't believe i got that!

who asks "Are you lying on an Ant-Hill?"

Telcontar_Dunedain

11-24-2005, 12:42 PM

Merry asks Pippin.

The Witch-King of Angmar

11-25-2005, 02:53 AM

Well you sure showed me, your turn again...

Telcontar_Dunedain

11-25-2005, 12:53 PM

Someone else cant take my go, as I'ff away for the weeke end, but if when I come back on Monday no body has posted a question, then I'll post.

Spock

11-25-2005, 01:14 PM

Well, I for one hope you enjoy your weekend. It's great to get away from "all this" every now and then.

What is known as "the Dreamflower"

Spock

11-27-2005, 01:05 PM

HEY, wake up ....two days and no one has even tried? :(

Grey_Wolf

11-27-2005, 02:01 PM

Is it Lothlorien?

Serenoli

11-27-2005, 02:28 PM

Dreamflower... never ever heard of it, but surely it couldn't be anything to do with Lothlorien thats not in Two Towers. So I'm guessing... the flowers that grow on the graves of the Rohan Kings?

Spock

11-27-2005, 06:38 PM

Is it Lothlorien?

YEP!

Treebeard says ..." Land of the Valley of Singing Gold, that was it, once upon a time. Now it is the Dreamflower".

Your go GW ;)

Grey_Wolf

11-28-2005, 03:35 AM

What differs the Orcs of Mordor from those of Isengard - group-names and signs?

Acalewia

11-28-2005, 05:09 PM

The Orcs of Mordor have the Eye and the Orcs of Isengard have the White Hand.

Grey_Wolf

11-28-2005, 05:25 PM

The Orcs of Mordor have the Eye and the Orcs of Isengard have the White Hand.

Correct. You next, Acalewia.

durinsbane2244

11-28-2005, 08:50 PM

Grey_Wolf

11-29-2005, 05:44 AM

BUT WAIT! you said group names and signs! in addition to the previous answer, the black uruks of mordor have the eye of mordor and the uruk-hai of isengard have the white hand of isengard....beaten at thine own question! :D

Of course. :) You're quite right. She should have given the names of the groups as well. :)

Sorry again...go ahead, Durin...

Telcontar_Dunedain

11-29-2005, 06:50 AM

Should it not now be Durin to post the next question.

Acalewia

11-29-2005, 02:26 PM

i couldn't remember the names so its only fair that durinsbane post the next question

durinsbane2244

11-30-2005, 08:41 PM

er...yay...ok, what was, for treebeard, "more than his desire" [mark the quotes, tis a clue...]

Spock

11-30-2005, 11:52 PM

Ah! the gold and the red and the sighing of leaves in the Autumn in Taur-na-neldor!
It was more than my desire..quote Treebeard

durinsbane2244

12-02-2005, 10:05 PM

SORRY SORRY SORRY! yes, you go...very busy, though not cuz of christmas...anyway, yes, the quotes were a hint, as it was an exact quote...YUGO!

Spock

12-03-2005, 12:22 PM

Who was unmoved that the sword of Elendil had come to Minas Tirith?

Serenoli

12-03-2005, 01:52 PM

Pippin?

Spock

12-04-2005, 11:56 AM

nope :(

Telcontar_Dunedain

12-04-2005, 05:16 PM

Denethor?

Spock

12-04-2005, 05:56 PM

Nyet!

Acalewia

12-04-2005, 07:07 PM

IIRC, the sword of Elendil did not come to Minas Tirith until RotK.

Telcontar_Dunedain

12-04-2005, 07:22 PM

Faramir? IIRC then he said it when Frodo was recounting the story of their journey from Moria to Rauros.

Spock

12-05-2005, 12:05 PM

Faramir? IIRC then he said it when Frodo was recounting the story of their journey from Moria to Rauros.

Yep, you go.

Acalewia, your recollection wasn't correct. :(

Telcontar_Dunedain

12-05-2005, 12:42 PM

What was the first wind that was sung about?

Acalewia

12-05-2005, 09:01 PM

Yep, you go.

Acalewia, your recollection wasn't correct. :(
i stand corrected.

North?

Telcontar_Dunedain

12-06-2005, 01:22 PM

You recall correctly now though. Your go.

Acalewia

12-06-2005, 02:09 PM

What does Sam do after Frodo's "death"?

durinsbane2244

12-06-2005, 08:40 PM

he takes the ring and sting and hides...

Telcontar_Dunedain

12-07-2005, 01:01 PM

Well technically he only takes the Ring as he already had Sting!

Spock

12-07-2005, 01:04 PM

Well, do you give it to DB, then? or deny him for the total?

Acalewia

12-07-2005, 02:20 PM

DB got it. Your go. that was kinda easy wasnt it?

durinsbane2244

12-07-2005, 08:40 PM

yes, it was, though still i sadly mess it up....sigh....anyway, name all of Gandalf's names...oddly, they are all to be found in this book...

-elfearz-

12-07-2005, 09:13 PM

Hmm...Gandalf (duh), Mithrandir (to the elves), Tharkun (to the dwarves), Olorin (in Valinor), Incanus (in the south)

I can't remember any more

durinsbane2244

12-07-2005, 09:52 PM

those are the obvious, now for the subtle...hint:4 more

-elfearz-

12-07-2005, 09:55 PM

Oh, I see...:p

Ummm...Stormcrow, Lathspell?
No idea - Gandalf the White? :p

durinsbane2244

12-07-2005, 10:04 PM

stormcrow and lathspell...two more, one in the golden hall, one in the wood...

-elfearz-

12-07-2005, 10:10 PM

Grayhame in the Golden Hall?
I don't think I know the one in the wood :)

durinsbane2244

12-07-2005, 10:26 PM

grayhame, yes...the wood is as they leave...more of a title...nudge...

-elfearz-

12-07-2005, 10:34 PM

Hehe..is the title also a chapter name?
The White Rider?

durinsbane2244

12-08-2005, 09:14 PM

yes..correct...and for ye nitpickers, i'm not counting gandalf the gray/white...

-elfearz-

12-09-2005, 11:42 AM

Don't have a book on me right now - I'll be able to post a question tomorrow, but if anyone would like to do one before then, feel free :D

The Witch-King of Angmar

12-09-2005, 11:03 PM

ok,

When Frodo was attacked by Shelob outside of the tunnel, why couldn't Sam save him?

Telcontar_Dunedain

12-10-2005, 08:51 AM

Gollum was attacking him.

Firekitten2006

12-10-2005, 04:20 PM

I haven't read the book in a while, but wasn't it because they had had a small moment of conflict with eachother?

Your go TD...

Telcontar_Dunedain

12-13-2005, 02:32 PM

After asking Gollum what question, did Sam realised he had disappeared at the top of the Stairs?

Does that make sense? :confused:

Lotesse

12-13-2005, 05:03 PM

Ummm... :confused:

"Gollum! Would you like to be the hero - now where's he got to again?"

Telcontar_Dunedain

12-13-2005, 05:09 PM

You got it. Your go Lotesse.

Lotesse

12-13-2005, 05:22 PM

WOW! I wasn't sure if that was correct. Thanx TD - give me a minute, though; I have to find us a new question...

Lotesse

12-13-2005, 07:17 PM

What is it that Smeagol has not heard of, nor wants to see?

Spock

12-13-2005, 10:17 PM

meno colloquio e più cioccolato

durinsbane2244

12-14-2005, 08:40 PM

Po-ta-toes!

Lotesse

12-14-2005, 08:42 PM

no and no.

durinsbane2244

12-14-2005, 09:05 PM

in that case fried fish and chips, served by S. Gamgee...

Lotesse

12-14-2005, 09:07 PM

:D Nope, not that either...

durinsbane2244

12-14-2005, 09:10 PM

hmmm...stewed rabbit?

Lotesse

12-14-2005, 11:35 PM

Nooooo...

CLUE: What he hasn't ever seen, and didn't WANT to see. Which implies that he hasn't seen it yet, at the point where I took from the book reference to create this question.

Serenoli

12-14-2005, 11:42 PM

Oliphaunts?

Lotesse

12-14-2005, 11:43 PM

INDEED!! You got it! It's all yours, Serenoli... :)

Serenoli

12-15-2005, 11:24 PM

Okey-dokey!

Here's my question:

What compliment did Saruman pay the hobbits?

Lotesse

12-17-2005, 05:12 PM

Did he call them "clever?" You know, one of those sarcastic "clever's"... no, that was Gollum. Hmm. Must keep looking...

durinsbane2244

12-17-2005, 11:00 PM

er, does he call them, "admirable hobbits"? i seem to recall the phrase, "my most admirable hobbits" from somewhere...

Serenoli

12-18-2005, 07:30 AM

Sorry, thats not it! For once I seem to have given something remotely difficult! Most of my questions get very quick answers! :)

Spock

12-20-2005, 04:26 PM

Boy, it's a good question and I can't remember nor find the answer. Two days and zipp. Oh well, maybe better heads will answer. :confused:

Serenoli

12-21-2005, 02:04 AM

Ok, here's a hint to help you all.

What compliment did Saruman pay the hobbits, according to Gandalf?

Lotesse

12-21-2005, 08:44 PM

That those little pants made them look taller & brought out the colour in their eyes?

Telcontar_Dunedain

12-22-2005, 07:07 AM

Was it that he thought they were important enough to have left Isengard?

Serenoli

12-22-2005, 11:09 AM

Lotesse not at all close, but what a funny idea! :D

TD, try again... you're close enough, you got the basic idea... but he left Isengard in RotK, the answer is in TT.

Telcontar_Dunedain

12-22-2005, 08:06 PM

I mean when he went to Fangorn.

Lotesse

12-22-2005, 08:45 PM

Was it a sincere compliment, or a classic Saruman sarcastic-ism?

Serenoli

12-23-2005, 09:51 AM

The basic idea that TD got right was that Saruman never meant to pay the compliment. Also think on the hint I gave.

clep_web

12-23-2005, 11:51 PM

Er...was it something to do with the 'a sneer from him is a compliment' thing? Or is the answer Saruman was concerned about the hobbits and that is supposed to be a compliment?

Serenoli

12-24-2005, 03:43 AM

We have a winner!

Its the part where Merry complains to Gandalf of being labelled 'rag-tag', and Gandalf says something like 'a sneer from him is a compliment, if you like', so its your turn, clep_web :)

durinsbane2244

12-26-2005, 04:16 PM

good morning clep web! the earth says hello! hello! helllllooo!

clep_web

12-26-2005, 10:23 PM

Sorry for posting so late, I couldn't think of a deviously hard one so here goes:

What does riding elf-fashion mean?

Lotesse

12-26-2005, 10:35 PM

Does it mean riding without a saddle or tack?

clep_web

12-26-2005, 10:42 PM

Does it mean riding without a saddle or tack?

Yup, you got it.

durinsbane2244

12-29-2005, 10:07 PM

lotesse...lotesse..

Lotesse

12-29-2005, 11:14 PM

YES! Here I am...

Treebeard says Saruman's heart is as rotten as what?

Telcontar_Dunedain

12-30-2005, 06:16 AM

A Huorn's?

Lotesse

12-30-2005, 01:22 PM

Almost...

Telcontar_Dunedain

01-01-2006, 06:49 AM

Any clues? It's been two days and no one has guessed any closer.

Lotesse

01-01-2006, 04:25 PM

I'll give it to you, TD; what I wanted was a "black Huorn's" but you pretty much nailed it without the "black," so - take it away! :D :)

Telcontar_Dunedain

01-03-2006, 08:14 AM

What did Treebeard tell Merry and Pippin to organise for 25?

Serenoli

01-04-2006, 03:50 AM

Manfood? (I remember he called it something funny like that)

Telcontar_Dunedain

01-04-2006, 02:40 PM

Correct. Your go Serenoli.

Serenoli

01-06-2006, 01:14 PM

You know what, I gave my book to someone and haven't got it back yet, and I haven't read it for months, my head is blank, and though I've managed to make up questions from memory a lot of times since (most of them were too easy, though!), today I can't seem to remember anything... :(

SO, the first person who comes and reads this can post a question! :)

Telcontar_Dunedain

01-06-2006, 01:26 PM

Looks like its me again then.

How did Gimli get to Helms Deep?

King of The Istari

01-06-2006, 01:54 PM

on the back of eomer's horse?

Acalewia

01-06-2006, 02:19 PM

On the horse lent to Legolas

Telcontar_Dunedain

01-06-2006, 03:28 PM

Correct KotI.

King of The Istari

01-07-2006, 01:59 PM

ok then...

how many simbelmynë covered graves are there outside edoras when the grey company first arrive?

Lotesse

01-07-2006, 02:02 PM

What? :confused: What's "syblmuna?" Spelling, please. :)

littleadanel

01-07-2006, 03:00 PM

Lemme guess... "simbelmynë" it should've been?

Five graves on one side, four on the other?
(or were there more kings before Théoden's time? only guessing...)

King of The Istari

01-07-2006, 04:32 PM

sorry, I didn't know how to spell it and I just spelt it how I pronounce it,

King of The Istari

01-07-2006, 04:34 PM

Five graves on one side, four on the other?
(or were there more kings before Théoden's time? only guessing...)

sorry wrong

Spock

01-07-2006, 05:04 PM

11 :d

King of The Istari

01-07-2006, 06:02 PM

11 :d

no sorry

Spock

01-08-2006, 12:13 PM

Seven on the left and nine on the right?

King of The Istari

01-08-2006, 03:35 PM

Seven on the left and nine on the right?

correct!
I would also have accepted 16

spock to go

Spock

01-09-2006, 11:46 AM

:rolleyes: hmmm, let's see......where could you find twenty-seven broad stairs?
I want the exact location, precisely

Telcontar_Dunedain

01-09-2006, 02:07 PM

Is it the stairs that lead to Orthanc?

Spock

01-09-2006, 02:10 PM

Is it the stairs that lead to Orthanc?

Please read my requirements for this question more closely. :p

Telcontar_Dunedain

01-09-2006, 02:12 PM

Is there a trick in there, because I did give an exact location.

King of The Istari

01-09-2006, 02:50 PM

leading up to the golden hall in edoras?

Spock

01-09-2006, 08:49 PM

Is there a trick in there, because I did give an exact location.

A partial answer was given but not the precise answer.

You were on the right path you just needed to be more precise and answer the question posed :evil: :o

Spock

01-09-2006, 08:51 PM

leading up to the golden hall in edoras?

Not at all. :p

durinsbane2244

01-09-2006, 09:30 PM

er, located right next to the spot that's right next to them? eh? that makes sense...

clep_web

01-10-2006, 05:13 AM

OK, I really have no idea, but I'm giving this a shot.

Leading up to the empty throne of Gondor - oh wait, this is TTT. Before the tower of Orthanc?

Spock

01-10-2006, 10:09 AM

TD almost has it, it's within his grasp but he hasn't been precise enough :(

Telcontar_Dunedain

01-10-2006, 11:56 AM

Okay. The stairs that lead to the Tower Orthanc, where Gandalf stood when talking to Saruman.

Spock

01-10-2006, 02:02 PM

TD you are trying so hard, I'm going to relent and give it to you. :eek:

To be precise in the answer it should have been:

"On the eastern side, in the angle of two piers, a great door....and over it a window....up to the threshold mounted a flight of twenty-seven broad stairs." That answers where precisely they are. :cool:

Your go. ;)

Telcontar_Dunedain

01-10-2006, 05:01 PM

What were the thee answers give when Treebeard asked Merry and Pippin what they called it?

durinsbane2244

01-11-2006, 08:43 PM

ledge, shelf, and hill? [positive of hill]

Lotesse

01-12-2006, 01:16 AM

What were the thee answers give when Treebeard asked Merry and Pippin what they called it?

Ciao, TD! I want to ask you - can you rephrase the question, perhaps make it a bit more precise, 'cause I'd really love 2 give this one a try but you've got me :confused: with the way you've posed the question. I assume you mean to say, "What were the THREE answers GIVEN when Treebeard asked Merry and Pippin what they called...??? That last part has me confused; what they called what? Clarify, s'il vous plait, my dear Khamul! :)

Telcontar_Dunedain

01-12-2006, 12:24 PM

Sorry Lotesse.
I'm not quite sure how to explain it other than that.
If it is that unclear I'll post another question.

Spock

01-12-2006, 02:15 PM

What were the thee answers give when Treebeard asked Merry and Pippin what they called it?

referring to what Treebeard was called (as that is the way the question reads) The Ent, Fangorn and Treebeard are the three answers ;)

Telcontar_Dunedain

01-12-2006, 04:32 PM

Okay, as it seems that the way I put the question is confusing and I can't think of a better way of putting it with out giving you the answer I'll post a new question. The asnwers I was looking for were hill, shelf and step.

Easy question.
Who killed Shelob?

Spock

01-12-2006, 04:45 PM

She commited suicide by trying to eat Hobbits raw. :D

Telcontar_Dunedain

01-12-2006, 04:47 PM

Not quite.

durinsbane2244

01-12-2006, 08:40 PM

trick question, shelob wasn't killed. sam only wounded her with sting, when he goes to get frodo and puts on the ring, he can hear her back in the bowels of the tunnel.

Spock

01-13-2006, 01:02 PM

..oh right. :)

Telcontar_Dunedain

01-13-2006, 02:40 PM

Well done DB. Your go.

durinsbane2244

01-15-2006, 06:32 PM

sorry for the delay, name one ancestor of shelob.

Telcontar_Dunedain

01-15-2006, 06:59 PM

Ungoliant.

durinsbane2244

01-16-2006, 08:36 PM

indeed, ask away!

Telcontar_Dunedain

01-17-2006, 12:42 PM

What was it that struck Merry and Pippin most about the Entmoot?

Spock

01-17-2006, 12:46 PM

First the variety of trees there. Secondly they saw that they were all of the same kindred, and all had the same eyes.
