Rotk - Trivia - Part 3

[Spock]

Welcome to Part 3.

Here is the current question:




What was the Bywater joke?

[Spock]

THREE DAYS and no guess. :( :( :rolleyes:

[Gordis]

The new row of houses in Bywater was called "Sharkey's end". :p

[Farimir Captain of Gondor]

You got it! :D Take it away Gordis.

btw, sharkey, what cool bad guy name huh. Sounds almost mobsterish. :p

[Gordis]

btw, sharkey, what cool bad guy name huh. Sounds almost mobsterish. :p

Strange name, by the way. One of Conan Doyle's pirates was called that.

But what is good for a pirate, is strange for a wizard. And where in Middle-Earth did hobbits hear about a shark? Or the ruffians (Dunlendings, or orcs), for that matter? :confused:

Next question: What weapon did Lobelia use when she attacked the leader of the ruffians?

[Spock]

Next question: What weapon did Lobelia use when she attacked the leader of the ruffians?


I thought it was an umbrella. :confused:

[Gordis]

I thought it was an umbrella. :confused:

It was! :)
Your turn.

[Farimir Captain of Gondor]

Strange name, by the way. One of Conan Doyle's pirates was called that.

But what is good for a pirate, is strange for a wizard. And where in Middle-Earth did hobbits hear about a shark? Or the ruffians (Dunlendings, or orcs), for that matter? :confused:
Wasn't it in relation to the orcish word shraku or something? What's good for a pirate is strange for a wizard. :D I could see Saruman with an eye patch and a parrot. Drinking rum in Orthanc. :p


Next question: What weapon did Lobelia use when she attacked the leader of the ruffians?

I thought it was an umbrella. :confused:
I think that's right.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Wasn't it in relation to the orcish word shraku or something?
Yes, probably Orcish for Old Man, but Saruman believed it to be a sign of affection.

[Spock]

Six days have passed and no answer so far. Three have passed since anyone guessed. T.D. would you post a new question???

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Spock, it's your question.

[Spock]

Thanks T.D. for shaking the tree-I'm much to busy with *stuff*......oh well,
here goes :p

ok-partial quote and guess who was the speaker

"....We do not know and our hearts are heavy.......what lies beyond no man knows" :cool:

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Eomer?

[Spock]

Eomer?


That took a full 3 minutes to get.

You are on again T.D. :D

[Acalewia]

TD has the moot record for fastest response to a trivia question :D

[Spock]

TD has the moot record for fastest response to a trivia question :D

Yeah, when I see TD on line, I just know the sparks are going to fly...in a good way. :)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

3 minutes is nothing, I've done it in one before! ;)

How far is the ride from Erech to Pelargir?

[Udukhaturz]

93 leagues

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Correct.

[Udukhaturz]

What morbid imagry did Tolkien use to describe the hobbit children's piling up of stones after they had eaten plums in the year of plenty?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Heaped skulls?

[Udukhaturz]

Heaped skulls?

You got it, TD. Here is the whole quote:

"The fruit was so plentiful that young hobbits very nearly bathed in strawberries and cream; and later they sat on the lawns under the plum-trees and ate, until they had made piles of stones like small pyramids or the heaped skulls of a conqueror, and then they moved on." - The Gray Havens, p. 303

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

What can Sam see at the Field of Cormallen?

[durinsbane2244]

the hobbits bringing in the summer harvest and rosie cotton?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Nope

[Spock]

Wow, end of term for you guys must be slowing post down.

3 days since the question posted............................:(

[Udukhaturz]

Sam saw his old friends after the Ring was destroyed. That is the only answer I can think of.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Not the answer I'm looking for. Sam specifically says that he can see something.

[Acalewia]

The sapling from the seed he planted to replace the Party Tree? :confused:

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

No, still not correct.

[Spock]

What can Sam see at the Field of Cormallen?


Trick question; Sam wasn't at the Field of Cormallen, he was on Mount Doom with Frodo awaiting death but getting picked up by eagles.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Yes he was. The Field of Cormallen was another name given to Ithilien after the Rings destruction, or so I think. If not then I meant Ithilien at the Feast.

[Spock]

then the game continues past six days as I know not. :(

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

If no one has posted the correct answer within 24hrs then whoever is on can post a new question.

[Udukhaturz]

Knights in bright mail and tall guards in silver and black

[Spock]

72 hrs since TD said 24 hrs. :confused: SOMEBODY post a new question please

[Udukhaturz]

From what part of Gondor is Ioreth's kinswoman?

[Gordis]

Imloth Melui ?

[Udukhaturz]

Correct, Gordis, and you get to ask the next question.

[anarion]

Sam said he saw frodo, and his injured hand i think.
But he also saw gandalf after he awoke.
Was waiting for the next question to be posted.

[Gordis]

What was the fate of the Lord of Dunharrow?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Sam said he saw frodo, and his injured hand i think.
But he also saw gandalf after he awoke.
Was waiting for the next question to be posted.
That wasn't the answer I was looking for, but it doesn't matter anymore. The question has been made void.

[Udukhaturz]

He died at Pelennor.

[Gordis]

Correct, Udu! Your turn :)

[Udukhaturz]

Gordis, I will be back later with a question. Tied up right now.

By the way, only a few more posts and I can get rid of that designation of "Elven Warrior." Hehehehe... I have been waiting for the day. :D

[Udukhaturz]

After the Scouring of the Shire, where did Merry and Pippin live?

[Farimir Captain of Gondor]

Crickhollow?

[Udukhaturz]

Faramir, correct. The next question is yours.

[Farimir Captain of Gondor]

What did Galadriel give Aragorn?

[durinsbane2244]

a sheath for anduril and the elfstone...

[durinsbane2244]

as it was pointed out to me by good sir faramir, those are from the FotR....anyway, the banner with the emblems of isildur's house...

[Farimir Captain of Gondor]

You are correct db, your turn.

[durinsbane2244]

well than...name 3 names of aragorn that are found in this book, aragorn itself not included...

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Elfstone, Elessar and Strider (Telcontar).

[Gordis]

Elfstone=Elessar, Strider=Telcontar and Thorongil=Eagle of the Stars.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

The name Thorongil isn't mentioned in RotK according to the index. :)

[Gordis]

My bad then...

[Udukhaturz]

For that, Gordis, you get an escorted trip to the Houses of Lamentation, beyond all darkness, where your shriveled mind will be left naked to the Lidless Eye. :D :D :D

[Gordis]

Oh, Udu, our shriveled minds are always naked to the Lidless Eye! :p :D

Congratulations on your 500 post! :) :) :)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Yeha, congratulations Udu.

[Farimir Captain of Gondor]

What Faramir called him at the gate of Minas Tirith:

Cheiftain of the Dunedain of Arnor, Captain of the Host of the West, bearer of the Star of the North....that's just three of 'em. :p

[Gordis]

But those are not "names", only TITLES! :(

[Farimir Captain of Gondor]

Yeah, your right. I guess I'm off to the House of Lamentation now huh? :(

[Gordis]

Yes... and your flesh shall be devoured :eek: . :D

As for me, I am not of mortal flesh anymore :p .

[Farimir Captain of Gondor]

*kicking rocks as he walks off* Man, I liked my flesh too. :( :D

[Udukhaturz]

Oh, Udu, our shriveled minds are always naked to the Lidless Eye! :p :D

Congratulations on your 500 post! :) :) :)

Aye, but we always need to be sent to the Houses of Lamentation every once in a while just to thank our Benefactor for this great boon. :) :D

Gordis and TD, thanks for the congratulations. Actually, I never thought I would get to the 500 post mark.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

So do I post a question?

[Udukhaturz]

The way I figure it out is that Durin'sbane2244 asked the last question, "well than...name 3 names of aragorn that are found in this book, aragorn itself not included..." and he is the one who needs to determine who got that correct.

[Acalewia]

It may be a little late for this, but ...
Estel, Strider, and Elessar

[durinsbane2244]

er, yes...well..gordis got it, actually...than all this buisness about flesh-eating and 500 posts [nice, by the way, congrats] began and it got a bit sticky...anyway, go ahead gordis!

[Gordis]

I got it after all?! I did? :confused: :p :)
*Stalks out of the Houses of Lamentation proudly*

But, DB, TD was right: Thorongil was not mentioned in the Text of the ROTK.
*Shoves DB into the Black Pit* :( :D

Anyway, here is the next question:

What did Minas Tirith need, according to Legolas?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

More gardens.

[Gordis]

Right.
You go, TD!

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

What would Merry like first?

[Gordis]

to smoke?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Close but not correct.

[Farimir Captain of Gondor]

To rouse the Shire?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Nope, Gor was closer. It says in the same passage she got that from. :)

[Gordis]

pipe?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Nope, he wanted this before he wanted to smoke.

[Gordis]

Before? Than that must be FOOD! (He was a hobbit, after all!) :D

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Correct, he wanted supper. Your go Gor.

[Gordis]

When was the Eastern part of Osgiliath won back and the Bridge repaired the last time?

[Spock]

When was the Eastern part of Osgiliath won back and the Bridge repaired the last time?


2475?

[Gordis]

2475?
No, it was later. And it is in the main text of ROTK, not the Appendices

[Spock]

Well 6 days and nobody's guessed it right. Perhaps a new question, Gordis???

:confused:

[Gordis]

Well it was at the time when Denethor was young.
Maybe someone else posts the next question? I want a little break :)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Sonce you were the only Mooter to guess, I'd say you go Spock.

[Spock]

ok, What time of day did the Rohirrim come to wide grey thickets beyond the eastward side of Amon Din?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Midnight?

[Spock]

nah :(

[Spock]

3/three/3, days and no guess? :(

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Dusk?

[Spock]

NOPE- TD you were the most pro active in trying to find an answer-please post the next question.

FYI the answer was 'late in the afternoon'

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Eowyn said that she was a shieldmaiden, not a what?

[Spock]

Yikes, four (4) days and no one has been by with the answer. :(

[Spock]

six DAYS -6- and no reply :( :(

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Okay, Spock, you can post a new question.

I suggest introducing a rule saying if there has been no correct answer within 5 days of the question being posted then someone else can post a new question. Do you agree?

[Spock]

Okay, Spock, you can post a new question.

Who told whom that Hobbit is what they call themselves? :p :rolleyes:

I suggest introducing a rule saying if there has been no correct answer within 5 days of the question being posted then someone else can post a new question. Do you agree?

I think that is most fair. I try to remind people but perhaps by implementing this 5 day rule, things will move along by themselves.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Pippin tells Beregond?

[Spock]

Pippin tells Beregond?

yes Indeed. :)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Merry said he did not like talk of Wild Men and what?

[jammi567]

their poisoned darts.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Correct

[jammi567]

who was the orc who had his eyes squeezed out?

[Spock]

who was the orc who had his eyes squeezed out?
Radbug. :cool:

[jammi567]

yeh, that's right, your go.

[Spock]

What was the nicest thing Lobelia ever did?

.....this calls for a conclusion by the reader but it should be quite easy to answer..... :p :confused:

[durinsbane2244]

she gave frodo back bag end, eh?

[Spock]

DB
I suppose I have to take that as I mis-stated the question. Your reply qualifies under those terms :p

YUGO!

[durinsbane2244]

oh...well than...alright...did you mean hitting whoever with the umbrella?...hm...where and when is frodo glad that samwise is?

[Acalewia]

Right before the Ring is destroyed?

[durinsbane2244]

sorry, should have specified, exact quote please!

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Mount Doom (or here) at the end of all things.

[durinsbane2244]

take er away, TD!

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

What did Gandalf say he wold only allow one of?

[durinsbane2244]

i don't know, but maybe we should try another one...

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Okay, you can post a question DB.

[durinsbane2244]

ok. what does saruman think "sharky" means?

[Radagast The Brown]

'Old man'?

[durinsbane2244]

nope.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

He thinks it is an affectionate term the Orcs used for him.

[durinsbane2244]

correct. your go, than, TD...

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

What did Aragorn tell the dis-heartened to keep?

[Acalewia]

Their courage?



:mad: DIE, RULE!!!!! :mad:

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Close but no.

[durinsbane2244]

er, their hearts? :rolleyes:

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Nope. Acally was on the right lines.

[durinsbane2244]

there valor? strength?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Closer.

[durinsbane2244]

honor? dignity? oh! vows maybe? forsake not your vows?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Honour it is. Your go.

[durinsbane2244]

finally. where does denethor wish to set a fire?

[Acalewia]

in the Citadel in the Tombs of the Kings?

[durinsbane2244]

nope.

[Count Comfect]

In his and his son's flesh?

[durinsbane2244]

correct. go ahead.

[Count Comfect]

Shoot. If only I had a copy of the book around me right now...

What happens to Merry's sword when he stabs the Nazgul?

[durinsbane2244]

it disinigrates? either that or snaps...

[Count Comfect]

Mhm...

[jammi567]

it doesn't say what happened to Merry's sword, only what happened to Eowyn's. Just to let you know.

[Count Comfect]

"All swords perish"
Merry's sword is a sword
Therefore, Merry's sword perishes.

[jammi567]

doesn't say what actually happens to it ie snap, disindegrate, melt etc.

[Count Comfect]

Right. Hence, I took the first answer along those lines.

[durinsbane2244]

er...right...my go than...what sword was made for a specific moment, and when was this moment?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Yes it does say.

"And behold! there lay his weapon, but the blade was smoking like a dry branch that has been thrust in a fire; and as he watched it, it writhed and withered and was consumed."

[Spock]

5 days and we still are waiting for clarification on an answer or a new question :eek:

[Count Comfect]

I still say let durinsbane ask the next question.

[Spock]

It's up to TD & DB to work this one out. The rest of us can go have a cup of tea until then. :D

[durinsbane2244]

sorry for the wait. carrying on, how many ringbearers appear in this book, and name them.

[ringbearer]

Here is a shot..."off the top of my head"

[durinsbane2244]

[jammi567]

yes, but one other character was struck down by one.

[durinsbane2244]

hm. wasn't merry, was it?

[jammi567]

no, because he remained at minas tirith.

[durinsbane2244]

On the right track but not the name I'm looking for

[durinsbane2244]

ooh...what did she call herself...hm...don't laugh if i'm wrong, this is a crazy whim, was it Deathhelm? something of the sort?

[jammi567]

[durinsbane2244]

ah. well. yes. there you go. i suppose you'll get it than. AT LEAST IT TRIED!*runs off crying* :p

[jammi567]

[Acalewia]

Nope. Try again

[Acalewia]

Nope.

[Acalewia]

Anyone?

[Spock]

:D

What does Sam and Frodo believe is a dream?

When he awoke after being rescused by the eagles and Gandalf he thought himself waking from sleep and said "why, what a dream I've had!"

[Acalewia]

I was about to give this up for lost. You got it, Spock! Your go

[Spock]

Anyway, my question:

Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In Englands green & pleasant Land!

Ha! He Knows The Python! 50 Points!!! :d :d

[Gandalfthegray]

[durinsbane2244]

[jammi567]

The kindom of Arnor.

[Spock]

EIGHT DAYS and no correct answer-----------------how about a new question

:confused:

[Gandalfthegray]

Who commanded the forces of good at the battle of minas tirith?

[Spock]

The good witch of the West? :p ......oops wrong storyline. :D :D :D

[Acalewia]

I thought it was Pellinor Fields. (And yes I know I misspelled it)

[Acalewia]

Hello?

[Spock]

SEVEN days and not even a nibble. :(

Guess we'll give up asking questions until school starts. :confused:

"Al" what do you think; a new question ?????

[Acalewia]

Me or you?

[Spock]

Me or you?


YOU, of course. :D :D :D

[Acalewia]

Okey dokey, Just checking :D

What is the last thing Pippen remembers at the Black Gate?

[Serenoli]

Bilbo?

[durinsbane2244]

"the eagles are coming"... :rolleyes:

[Acalewia]

Your go, Big Bal.
The last thing he remembers is the eagles. Bonus points if you tell me the other thing he remembered

[Serenoli]

ummm... for the bonus point then, he thought it was the end of his story... or sth of that kind

[Acalewia]

You got the bonus point :D

[durinsbane2244]

but alas, serenoli! i still go!

hm.....where is frodo glad to have sam?

[jammi567]

just after distroying the ring.

[Bullroarer]

There was a roar and a great confusion of noise. Fires leaped up and licked the roof. The throbbing grew to a great tumult, and the Mountain shook. Sam ran to Frodo and picked him up and carried him out to the door. And there upon the dark threshold of the Sammath Naur, high above the plains of Mordor, such wonder and terror came on him that he stood still forgetting all else, and gazed as one turned to stone.

A brief vision...

"Yes," said Frodo. "But do you remember Gandalf's words: Even Gollum may have something yet to do? But for him, Sam, I could not have destroyed the Ring. The Quest would have been in vain, even at the bitter end. So let us forgive him! For the Quest is avhieved, and now all is over. I am glad you are here with me. Here at the end of all things, Sam."

[durinsbane2244]

bullroarer got it...good with the quotes, you are! :rolleyes:

[jammi567]

how come he gets it, when i posted the correct answer first.

[durinsbane2244]

because you did not, in fact, post the correct answer.

:mad:

[jammi567]

i said that frodo said that he was glad to have sam was after the ring was distroyed. Bullroarer said the same thing, but with a direct quote.

[Bullroarer]

The question was "where" not "when".

Soon after Pippin left for Tookland, messangers from Hobbiton-way came onto the scene and stating "They are coming!" referring to a band of ruffians on the way. However, a number of these folk had reportedly parted from the group and headed in the other direction. How many ruffians left the main group, and to where were they headed?

[Spock]

:( :( :(

[Serenoli]

Well, I looked it up, and two left the band, to go to Waymeet to get more of the gang.

Ok, new question (since, its been, what, at least two weeks, and looks like its a free-for-all): Name the lord of Harrowdale

[Spock]

This has gone on for almost ONE MONTH. If Serenoli will please post a new question we can move on. :(

[Serenoli]

Ok, here's an easy one (I think). What were the two gifts that Arwen gave to Frodo before he left for the Shire?

[durinsbane2244]

hm...i know one was the pendant, was the other her place on the ship?

[Serenoli]

Right in one! :)

[Spock]

Seven Days And No New Question ????????????????????

:( :(

[Spock]

7 DAYS AGO YOU GOT THE CORRECT ANSWER

please post a new question :)

[Quendendil]

This comes from FotR, but see if you can get it anyway. What are Haldir's brothers names?

[jammi567]

That's not allowed. You have to pick a question from the relevent book, otherwise, it doesn't count. that's why we have three different quizes for the different books. And anyway, it's durinsbane's turn.

[durinsbane2244]

holy s*** batman! i had no idea it was mine! :eek:

um...what to occasions get mr. frodo sick? (post mt. doom)

[jammi567]

Now you can try and answer the question, and if you get it right, you can post post your question from the relevent book, Quendendil.

[Acalewia]

On the anniversies of his sting from Shelob and the stabbing from the nazul?

[durinsbane2244]

righto, your go!

[Acalewia]

How is Shelob defeated?
