"The eagles!"

Vortûriel
01-30-2003, 10:05 AM
I thought that was too easy! Your turn Lizra. :)

Lizra
01-30-2003, 10:10 AM
Ok! :) Who went away on the 21st of April, and has never been seen since?

Agburanar
01-30-2003, 11:24 AM
Thrain?

Lizra
01-30-2003, 12:29 PM
Yes....Poor guy......you may ask next! :)

Agburanar
01-31-2003, 08:26 AM
Actually I'm quite pleased with my current financial state.

Okay, how many times does Beorn ask where the other dwarves are before he meets the whole company?

Vortûriel
01-31-2003, 08:28 AM
oooh tricky! Well as I am at work and don't have my copy with me I will risk a guess errrmmmmmmmm.......................5? :confused:

Agburanar
01-31-2003, 10:23 AM
That was quick! Unfortunately I'm at college and don't have a copy handy either. Let me think this through....

They come two at a time, except for the last lot who get bored and come anyway, so
asks 1 comes 2
asks 2 comes 4
asks 3 comes 6
asks 4 comes 8
asks 5 comes 12. There are 13 dwarves but I guess the last could have come at any time.

By my reckoning you are correct.

Lizra
01-31-2003, 01:11 PM
I just counted six....once is after Gandalf and Bilbo are there, twice is after Thorin and Dori arrive, Thrice is after Nori and Ori, four times comes after Balin and Dwalin settle in, five times after Fili and Kili, sixth time after Oin and Gloin join, which brings in Bifur and Bofur, and poor old Bombur just follows after them, not waiting to be asked!

ugh! This is one of those things that makes my brain hurt, Who's right? :confused: :eek:

Radagast The Brown
02-01-2003, 04:10 PM
I think Lizra is right, I counted too. Could be 7? I usually miss one.

Tar-Elendil
02-02-2003, 09:45 PM
the answer is 6

Lizra
02-02-2003, 11:59 PM
Think so huh! Ok , (so do I ;) )

Who never minded explaining his cleverness more than once?

Agburanar
02-03-2003, 07:06 AM
:eek: forgot to read it and make sure...

Okay, I make Lizra right. Your turn then!:confused:

Lizra
02-03-2003, 07:42 AM
I read your mind! See my question above! ;)

Radagast The Brown
02-03-2003, 03:46 PM
Lizra, what do you mean? Is it Gandalf?

Lizra
02-03-2003, 06:36 PM
Yes it is Radagast! It's sort of out of character with the LoTR Gandalf, but that's what the book says. Gandalf enjoyed retelling the story of how he turned up again, and helped get the dwarves out of the goblin's tunnels, when Bilbo "appeared" on the other side of the mountains. Ask us a question please! :)

Lizra
02-06-2003, 01:16 PM
Hey Radagast....are you ever going to ask us a question? please?

Agburanar
02-07-2003, 08:25 AM
Bored of waiting now...


Here's quite an easy one...


Why is it called 'The Carrock'?

Radagast The Brown
02-07-2003, 05:34 PM
sorry!!! :mad: :o but I guessed the answer :)

I don't know.

Lizra
02-07-2003, 07:10 PM
cause that's what he calls it!

Radagast The Brown
02-08-2003, 03:57 PM
Lizra, I think that there suppose to be a reason to the name.

Lizra
02-08-2003, 08:13 PM
"He (Beorn) called it the Carrock because "Carrock" is the word for it. He calls things like that Carrocks, (this is the irritated Gandalf speaking) and this one is "the" Carrock because it is the only one near his home".....

so, he calls it a carrock cause that's what he calls it! ;)

Radagast The Brown
02-09-2003, 04:14 PM
ok! I'm convinsed.
Ask a question please, then.

Lizra
02-09-2003, 11:08 PM
All right! Here goes!........Who did Bilbo borrow a red silk handerchief from?

Agburanar
02-10-2003, 11:26 AM
Balin, maybe.

Lizra
02-10-2003, 12:45 PM
No, not Balin. :)

Aranwe
02-10-2003, 02:23 PM
elrond?

Lizra
02-10-2003, 02:45 PM
That is correct! You may ask a question. :)

Aranwe
02-11-2003, 12:54 PM
What does Bilbo give to the Elvenking?

Radagast The Brown
02-11-2003, 04:02 PM
a pearls and silver neckless?

Aranwe
02-11-2003, 07:36 PM
Yep, given to him by Dain. Your turn.

Radagast The Brown
02-12-2003, 04:21 PM
ok.
In whitch hour did the auction of Bilbo's objects (articles? things?) started?

Aranwe
02-12-2003, 04:39 PM
10 o'clock sharp :)

Radagast The Brown
02-12-2003, 05:01 PM
Right. Your turn.

Aranwe
02-13-2003, 05:47 PM
What is the name of the inn on the Bywater road?

Bucklebury Ferry
02-13-2003, 08:32 PM
the Green Dragon Inn?

Agburanar
02-14-2003, 08:30 AM
I believe so, it reminds me of that question in the tolkien quiz book....

Aranwe
02-14-2003, 07:02 PM
Correct, although I've never read a tolkien quiz book :p

It's the Inn that Bilbo meets the Dwarves at before they set off, and he's almost late because he oversleeps.

Radagast The Brown
02-19-2003, 04:13 PM
I want a quesiotn please. Bucklebury Ferry.

Radagast The Brown
02-21-2003, 05:32 PM
I'll ask the question since no one else does:

Who is Bango Baggins?

Lizra
02-21-2003, 07:12 PM
Bango!!! :confused: Bango...., ok, I'll ask it too, (cause I don't know :eek: ) Who IS Bango Baggins? Maybe his mother named him "Bango" after an inspirational Gandalfian fireworks display....excuse me, we are getting 10 more inches of snow, I AM going crazy. :rolleyes: :mad:

Radagast The Brown
02-22-2003, 03:58 PM
I checked again, and it's written, pretty clearly, Bango Baggins (Bengo maybe). And no, it's not Bilbo.

Lizra
02-22-2003, 08:27 PM
Well, "Bungo" Baggins was Bilbo's father, I'll have to look for this here Bango! :)

Radagast The Brown
02-23-2003, 03:59 PM
You're right.

I couldn't guess that's a 'u'!

Lizra
02-23-2003, 04:16 PM
Very funny! So, We had Bungo, Bango and Bengo. That leaves Bingo and Bongo....ha ha ha! :D I will prepare the next question!

Lizra
02-24-2003, 10:50 AM
What did the elves love to tease the dwarves about most?

Aranwe
02-25-2003, 02:45 PM
stuntyness? Just a guess :)

Lizra
02-25-2003, 02:49 PM
No! (Does that mean being short? :D )

Radagast The Brown
02-25-2003, 04:55 PM
I don't know Lizra! hint!

Celebriel
02-25-2003, 06:47 PM
What did the elves love to tease the dwarves about most?

Their beards or their singing skills?



- Celebriel

Lizra
02-25-2003, 07:00 PM
Their beards! :D

"Don't dip your beard in the foam, father! It's long enough without watering it!" ;) Tra la la!

A question please, Celebriel!

Celebriel
02-25-2003, 07:07 PM
I am sorry, I did not know I was correct.

This is an easy one, the only question I can think of...

What was the intial reason the Dwarves took Bilbo on their journey?

Celebriel
02-25-2003, 07:18 PM
I have to leave now, but good luck guessing.

If you really must know, then PM me.



- Celebriel

Celebriel
02-25-2003, 11:30 PM
I have returned. Is no one going to answer?

What was the intial reason the Dwarves took Bilbo on their journey?



- Celebriel

Elvengirl
02-26-2003, 09:51 AM
THe dwarves needed a thief

Celebriel
02-26-2003, 09:41 PM
That is a good reason, but not the one I am looking for. The first reason they chose him.

-elfearz-
02-27-2003, 08:59 AM
coz they wanted 14 ppl in their party so they wouldn't be the unlucky no 13?
or coz gandalf told thorin that he wouldn't help him unless they took bilbo....but i think that's in unfinished, not the hobbit.....
in the unlikely incidence of either of those being right, someone else is welcome to post :)

Radagast The Brown
02-27-2003, 04:51 PM
I think Gandalf said that he (bilbo) may help them in the jorney. And Thorin agreed, after Galdaf convinced him. (can't remember how.)

Lady of Rohan
02-27-2003, 08:36 PM
Yes, I belive that Thorin asked Gandalf to get another member for there journey so they wouldn't be stuck with the unlucky number 13. Because Gandalf couldn't find any warriors (who were busy fighting in wars), or any hero's, he settled on a burgler (which happened to be Bilbo).

Celebriel
02-27-2003, 09:52 PM
coz they wanted 14 ppl in their party so they wouldn't be the unlucky no 13

Yes, finally someone has gotten it correct. I pass the torch to the next person with a question.

Radagast The Brown
03-01-2003, 05:01 PM
Who needs to ask a question?? (i think -elfearz-)

Celebriel
03-01-2003, 11:41 PM
Ah, Radagast, it is difficult to go in order here. People rarely visit this thread for some reason.

Christiana
03-02-2003, 07:44 PM
im back!

Lizra
03-02-2003, 07:47 PM
Hi Christiana! Someone ask a question! ! (I'll answer it! :D )

barrelrider110
03-03-2003, 10:20 AM
OK. Easy one.

How many teeth did Gollum have (at the time he met Bilbo)?

Radagast The Brown
03-03-2003, 04:24 PM
six?

barrelrider110
03-04-2003, 10:03 AM
Yesss. Sixsssss teeth we have, yesss Precioussssss.:D

Radagast The Brown
03-04-2003, 04:09 PM
What was Beoren's (Bioren's) response when Gandalf said that he had killed ork or two with a lightning?

Celebriel
03-04-2003, 05:10 PM
"Mmm...barbecue."

Sorry, I have no idea.

Lady of Rohan
03-04-2003, 05:50 PM
Beorn was happy. He said that there had to be some good in being a wizard.

Radagast The Brown
03-05-2003, 04:56 PM
you're right. Your turn.

Lady of Rohan
03-06-2003, 10:00 PM
Who was the first dwarf that Bilbo realised from the barrels (the barrels that they were put in to escape the elves prision)?

Elvengirl
03-06-2003, 10:45 PM
Thorin?

Lady of Rohan
03-06-2003, 11:21 PM
Originally posted by Elvengirl
Thorin?

Correct! Your turn. :)

Elvengirl
03-06-2003, 11:32 PM
Really? Wow!
Hmm.. well....ok, who discovered the moon-letters on Thorin's map and what did they say?

Lady of Rohan
03-06-2003, 11:33 PM
it was eitehr Gandalf or Elrond. I think that it was Elrond. I forget what they say though.

Gwaimir Windgem
03-07-2003, 01:37 AM
It was Elrond. They said something to the effect of:

Stand by the grey stone when the thrush knocks, and the last light of the setting sun of Durin's Day will shine upon the keyhole.

Radagast The Brown
03-08-2003, 04:48 PM
Gwaimir is right. Ask a question!!

Elvengirl
03-08-2003, 07:09 PM
Yes, Gwaimir, you're correct.

Radagast The Brown
03-11-2003, 04:15 PM
ok. I'll ask a question.

what did the elves give Thorin when he was in the prisonin Mirkwood?

Elvengirl
03-11-2003, 07:06 PM
:confused: The only thing I can think of is food.

Lizra
03-11-2003, 07:10 PM
and drink! :)

Agburanar
03-12-2003, 04:53 AM
Not as much as he would have liked.

Radagast The Brown
03-12-2003, 04:00 PM
Actually, I wanted more particular - for example - milk, salad and onions.

Elvengirl
03-12-2003, 06:53 PM
ok, he recieved bread, meat, and water

Radagast The Brown
03-14-2003, 05:01 PM
right. Your turn.

Elvengirl
03-14-2003, 06:19 PM
What did Bilbo find when he popped his head above the trees in Mirkwood forest?

Bucklebury Ferry
03-14-2003, 08:01 PM
Bilbo saw hundreds of black butterflies, and he couldn't see the end of the treetops however hard he looked. He was in the bottom of a valley, so when it sloped up all he could see were the trees, and so he didn't know that they were quite close to the edge of the forest.

Elvengirl
03-14-2003, 10:45 PM
correct, your go

and welcome to the moot

Bucklebury Ferry
03-16-2003, 12:59 AM
thanks, but someone else can ask a question, it will take me a while to find one.:D

Lizra
03-16-2003, 10:00 AM
What did the elves think was "delicious, astonishing wonderful!"

Lizra
03-16-2003, 05:31 PM
BUMP! With 25 members on, surely someone can answer this simple question!?

Earniel
03-16-2003, 06:20 PM
Chocolate? I know I do. :p

Lizra
03-17-2003, 08:40 AM
Nooooooo! ;)

Agburanar
03-17-2003, 08:55 AM
Was it the beer?

Lizra
03-17-2003, 09:05 AM
Not that either........:confused: :D

barrelrider110
03-17-2003, 09:10 AM
What a delicious and wonderful question. I had to look it up.:)
And the answer I found astonishing.

It was in Rivendell.......Bilbo on a pony.

Lizra
03-17-2003, 09:31 AM
Eh! You got it! :) Don'tcha just love those silly elves! :D You get to ask the next question barrelrider.

barrelrider110
03-17-2003, 10:18 AM
Originally posted by Lizra

Yes! And quite a contrast to the dour dwarves. The company's time in Rivendell was one of my favorite parts of the book, and upon re-reading, quite revealing.

Anyway, back to Trivia.

Whose last name was Huggins?

Lizra
03-17-2003, 11:08 PM
William the troll!

Agburanar
03-18-2003, 06:07 AM
Really? Well there you go!

Radagast The Brown
03-20-2003, 04:32 PM
Is that a hobbit?

Lizra
03-20-2003, 04:44 PM
No, a troll! a troll.... "William", the one whose pocket Bilbo tried to pick! There was William (Huggins), Bert, and Tom.

Radagast The Brown
03-20-2003, 05:02 PM
Really? :eek:

Lizra
03-20-2003, 05:04 PM
Really. :p

barrelrider110

"And I won't take that from you. Bill Huggins," says Bert, and puts his fist in William's eye.
Good one Lizra. Now, ask us a reeeeeely good one!;)

Lizra
03-21-2003, 12:00 AM
What made Gandalf look "strange and sorcerous"?

Agburanar
03-21-2003, 07:27 AM
Lightning bolts shooting from his eyebrows.

Lizra
03-21-2003, 07:35 AM
Nooooo, That's not what I was looking for, though that would contribute to a unusual, wizardly look! :)

barrelrider110
03-21-2003, 03:30 PM
The smoke rings he blew hovered about his head.

Lizra
03-21-2003, 03:56 PM
Yes! What "eerie" color were they?

barrelrider110
03-21-2003, 03:59 PM
Hmmmm..... green?

Lizra
03-21-2003, 04:13 PM
Yes. Add that to the list of things I'd would like to see! Your question!

barrelrider110
03-21-2003, 04:24 PM
What words are not to be mentioned within 100 miles of Beorn's house?

Radagast The Brown
03-21-2003, 04:42 PM
furrier, glove (mitten), shawl (scarf), cape, rug (carpet) or any other word of this kind.

barrelrider110
03-21-2003, 04:43 PM
Well done, Radagast. Your turn.:)

Radagast The Brown
03-21-2003, 04:52 PM
ok. How many armed guards were in the main hall (I'm not sure it's the real name) in the orks' caves?

Elvengirl
03-22-2003, 05:49 PM
In the Misty Mountains?
I thought they were goblins.

Christiana
03-22-2003, 06:08 PM
one hundred?

Radagast The Brown
03-23-2003, 03:55 PM
originally posted by Elvengirl[/i]
In the Misty Mountains?
I thought they were goblins.yeah, in the misty mountains. I meant goblins.
Christiana is wrong.

Elvengirl
03-23-2003, 08:10 PM
*flips through book*
It says full of goblins, but I don't see a specific number.

Radagast The Brown
03-24-2003, 04:27 PM
Right. It's written in another place, where Gandalf says what happened to them in the journey.

Elvengirl
03-24-2003, 08:35 PM
I think I found it.
Thirty or forty armed guards

Radagast The Brown
03-25-2003, 04:15 PM
Right. Your turn.

Elvengirl
03-25-2003, 04:48 PM
What woke up inside Bilbo during his unexpected party?

Lizra
03-25-2003, 04:50 PM
His Tookish side!

Radagast The Brown
03-25-2003, 05:00 PM
Ask a question Lizra!! :D

Lizra
03-26-2003, 11:45 PM
Who "doesn't know a good bit of work from a bad", and "can't make a thing for themselves"?

Gwaimir Windgem
03-27-2003, 12:02 AM
Pfffft. Trolls! :p

Lizra
03-27-2003, 12:30 AM
Noooooo! :)

Gwaimir Windgem
03-27-2003, 01:06 AM
It's been forever since I've read the Hobbit, but here goes...

What were the dimensions to Thorin's door?

Lizra
03-27-2003, 07:30 AM
Gwaimer! You have to answer my question corretly before you can ask a question! :eek: :eek: "Trolls " was wrong! ;)

Once again...........

Who dosen't know a "good bit of work from a bad" and "can't make a thing for themselves"?

Radagast The Brown
03-27-2003, 03:42 PM
The dwarves that went with Bilbo (Thorin, Balin...)?

Lizra
03-27-2003, 03:57 PM
Oh no! :eek:

One thing the answer to the question DOES have is "a good notion of the current market value". (of gold and jewels) :D

Radagast The Brown
03-27-2003, 04:18 PM
so maybe the hobbits generelly?

Lizra
03-27-2003, 05:00 PM
No. not hobbits.

Gwaimir Windgem
03-27-2003, 05:17 PM
Oh, dear me, humblest apologies. I thought you were "Nooooo"'ing because I got it. Deeply apologize.

Dragons is my only guess, if not Trolls. Seemed to fit the Trolls well, though.

Lizra
03-27-2003, 05:21 PM
Well, you should have "second guessed" yourself, because "dragons" is the answer! :)

Gwaimir Windgem
03-27-2003, 09:44 PM
Hmm. Never would have thought they couldn't tell a good work from a bad. The thing that made me guess that was the market value. Anyway:

What were the dimensions to Thorin's door?

Agburanar
03-28-2003, 10:21 AM
Goblins make no beautiful things, but they make many clever ones, so I guess it isn't them...

Mnnurgh, hate missing bits!!!!

Five feet high and three may walk abreast I think.

Gwaimir Windgem
03-28-2003, 12:05 PM
Righto. Your go. :)

Agburanar
03-31-2003, 10:28 AM
H'okay....

What was the fate of the Master of Laketown?

No peeking!!!!!

Elf Girl
03-31-2003, 04:08 PM
He was susceptable to "dragon-sickness" and died? I think? Please?

Agburanar
04-01-2003, 05:08 AM
Yeah, he got Dragon sickness (greed), took a load of treasure and ran away. He later died in the wilderness lost and alone (I think).

It's over to yooooooooo!

durin's bane
04-01-2003, 06:29 PM
I agree. I remember reading something about him getting really greedy and taking treasure and rowing away, leaving his people alone or something like that.

Elf Girl
04-01-2003, 09:35 PM
Ooh, I get to ask a question!

Which two dwarves were the first to arrive at Beorn's?

Elvengirl
04-01-2003, 11:10 PM
ooh, I know, Thorin and Dori :)

Lizra
04-05-2003, 01:42 AM
Hey Elf Girl....Is Elvengirl correct? :) (Now we need a Girlie Elf! :eek: ;) )

Elvengirl
04-06-2003, 11:22 AM
Ummm.....should I ask a question?

Lizra
04-06-2003, 01:42 PM
I guess! We waited politely, :D

Elf Girl
04-06-2003, 02:55 PM
:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o Sorry! Yes, she's right.

:o

Elvengirl
04-06-2003, 05:21 PM
Ok :D
what did the elf-king of Mirkwood (is this Thranduil?) have a weakness for?

Nimphredil
04-07-2003, 06:29 AM
He had weakness for treasure.
If i'm right someone else can ask a question. I can't get online so often and i can't think of any good ones right now.

Gwaimir Windgem
04-07-2003, 09:57 AM
I think it was for white jewels.

Pretty much what she said. :) 'Cept that I don't check the Hobbit board very much, so it could be quite some time. If I'm right, go on without me. :)

Elvengirl
04-07-2003, 09:44 PM
Yes, silver and white gems.
Who wants to ask a question?

Christiana
04-08-2003, 11:50 PM
Im baaaaaaaaaacccccccckkkkkkk!!!!!

Radagast The Brown
04-09-2003, 03:51 PM
how do the orks call thorin's sword (in traslation to english)?

Elvengirl
04-09-2003, 05:00 PM
It was named Orcrist and the goblins called it Biter.

If this is right, someone else can ask a question.

Radagast The Brown
04-11-2003, 02:41 PM

I can't remember, all I can think of is Azog the Goblin.
Btw, you have the Avatar that I want, Christiana.;)

Uh, it would be my turn then.:o
At the end of the War of the Ring, who is the most powerful person in Middle Earth?
And you still have the Avatar I want!:p ;)

Is the answer to the question in The Hobbit?

Christiana
04-17-2003, 07:48 PM
Aragorn or Gandalf?

Estel13
04-17-2003, 10:09 PM
Radagast: No.
Christiana: No and no.:D
It's not someone that obvious. Though I wish it WAS Aragorn.;)

Bombadillo
04-17-2003, 10:21 PM
Galadriel? Cause she had a ring? I forget if it held any power alone without the One Ring. I guessed

Estel13
04-17-2003, 10:28 PM
Nope. I can't think of any hints that won't give it away. :( One more guess, then I'll tell.:)

Lizra

If you read the very first post in this thread, you will notice.....

This is "The Hobbit" trivia......hence , questions (and answers) must be from "The Hobbit"! Please ask a new question that comes from The Hobbit! :)

Christiana
04-18-2003, 11:09 PM
Eru?Elrond?

Estel13
04-19-2003, 06:44 PM
Alright, sorry, Lizra.
It was Tom Bombadil, though.
Ok, um, what color is Bilbo Baggins front door?
I can't think of anything harder.:(

Lizra
04-19-2003, 07:21 PM
Wow! From too hard....to way too easy! :D I'll leave this for a young "opportunist". It's my favorite color! :) Why don't I add (for extra credit!)
How long had it been since it was painted this Mystery color?

Elf Girl
04-19-2003, 09:52 PM
Green.

Lizra: Umm... A week? Two weeks?

Don't mind me, if I'm right just give it to Elf Girl. Don't come to this board that often...

I believe it was a week! Poor Bilbo....that Gandalf can be so mean! ;)

So, can we just say I'm right? *wants to ask question*

Radagast The Brown
04-21-2003, 04:06 PM
Elf Girl, I think it's your turn now. You answered right.

Lizra
04-21-2003, 04:08 PM
Yes! Ask us a nice "tricky" question! :)

Radagast The Brown
04-22-2003, 11:35 AM
I think someone else should ask a question.

Elf Girl
04-22-2003, 11:46 AM
Okay, sorry. :o

Um... Where in Beorn's house was Bilbo's breakfast?

Radagast The Brown
04-22-2003, 12:02 PM
balcony (or: verandah).

Radagast The Brown

Radagast The Brown

She's right. I mean: you're right. your turn, Este.

Este
04-24-2003, 05:21 PM
Alright, here we go:

Name the four times Bilbo Gives something away.

I am not counting such things as food or tobacco. Three can be named specifically, though one could be figured in a number of ways and the fourth will be the tough one!

Have fun! :)

Radagast The Brown
04-25-2003, 05:56 PM
Este, I have the feeling the question is too hard for us. ( in other words: we're too lazy!!!) :rolleyes: I would wait more few days, and if no one would answer right..... you would give us hints!

Lizra
04-25-2003, 07:04 PM
What! Too hard! :eek: :rolleyes: Let's try harder people! I'll start with The Arkenstone, given to Bard, hmmmmm, he gives that silver and pearl necklace to the elven king at the end, ahhhhhh he tried to give Gandalf his "troll's booty", but I don't think Gandalf took it. He took the two handled cup from the dragon's horde and gave it to the dwarves, and........how about a small *hint* for the last? :)

Bombadillo
04-25-2003, 08:05 PM
Hmmm... I thought this would be easy.
Then I realised I was in The Hobbit forum.

Well, perhaps you could say he gives away the company's posotion or hiding spot at some point in the book, although off the top of my head I can't think of specifically when. Also, in the beginning, he gives a lot of food to Gandalf and all the dwarves when the drop by his hobbit hole.

If I'm right about these, just give credit to Lizra, because she got more and I'm not sure mine even count.

I think your right Lizra. Gandalf did take the troll booty, and I counted and that's 4. 1.The Arkenstone
2.The Necklace
3.The troll booty
4.The two handled cup
So if I'm not greatly mistaken it's Lizra's turn!

Este
04-26-2003, 11:29 AM
Very good, Lizra! You got the four I was thinking of. :)

Just as a point of interest, I realized after I asked the question that I had left one out.
After a week, therefore, he said farewell to Elrond, and giving him such small gifts as he would accept, he rode away with Gandalf.
I guess there were five after all, but as I only asked for four, it's Lizra's go!

I eagerly await your question. :D

Lizra
04-27-2003, 09:54 AM
Ahhh! I love The Hobbit! :D All right, let's continue along these lines.

Describe three different instances where Gandalf leaves, and later returns in The Hobbit :)

gimli7410
04-27-2003, 12:48 PM
when they are in the goblin cave, when they are climbing the mountain side and when they are captured by the trolls

Lizra
04-27-2003, 12:53 PM
Would you elaborate more on the specifics of "climbing the mountan side", please! :) (I was thinking of when does he leave, and when does he reappear..course, it could be said, he leaves just when he is needed, and reappears in the "nick of time". :D )

gimli7410
04-27-2003, 01:07 PM
i think it is when they are nearing rivendell and there cross over a mountain and he is right at the top.(thats the best i can do,i can't find my copy of the hobbit)

Radagast The Brown
04-27-2003, 03:08 PM
Well, he reappear in Beoren's house. Ah! and before Mirkwood.

Lizra
04-27-2003, 03:28 PM
Well, he does disappear before they run into the trolls, when the weather got bad, and it was dark. "Just when a wizard would have been the most useful , too," as Dori and Nori groaned. He reappeared in time to confuse the trolls into staying up past their bedtime. :)

And he nipped into the goblin's door crack, right before it snapped, following the orc slave drivers and dwarf/hobbit prisoners to the edge of the great (goblin's) hall. He conjured up some of his best magic and was able to rescue the dwarves once again.


As far I know, he was with them through the Rivendell visit, and the Beorn visit.....and then..... ??

Radagast The Brown
04-28-2003, 01:27 PM
AS I said! He wasn't with them in Mirkwood!!! :mad:

Lizra
04-28-2003, 04:27 PM
Ok Mr. tactful! :rolleyes: ;) He left right before Mirkwood and returned again....?

(gimli or Radagast may ask a question, since I'm suffering from correctitis here. )

gimli7410
04-28-2003, 06:38 PM
i got to it first. im not sure if this has been asked but what ways did gandalf think beorn got his powers from?

He was either a bear that had turned into a man or a man who had turned into a bear. I don't remember how it was s'posed to have happened.

gimli7410
04-30-2003, 10:42 AM
yes that is his power but how did gandalf think he got it

Elvengirl
04-30-2003, 02:59 PM
Gandalf says he's a skin changer and believes he is descended from the first men of the world. He also says Beorn is under no enchantment but his own.
I'm not sure what you means by where he GOT his power. :confused: :)

gimli7410
04-30-2003, 09:22 PM
mostly right, ill give it to you. he also mentioned he believes he got it from the mountain.

Elvengirl
05-01-2003, 10:23 AM
Ah, yes, I remember that.
Ok, a question:

How many passages did Gollum take when leading Bilbo out to the back-door?

Agburanar
05-01-2003, 10:24 AM
I don't remememember!

Lizra
05-01-2003, 11:38 PM
Seven right, six left. What does that mean? 13 passages all together? I guess....:confused: :rolleyes:

Elvengirl
05-02-2003, 07:59 AM
Yes, Lizra, that is correct. :D

Lizra
05-02-2003, 08:10 AM

Sorry about the wait! Ok....... what did Thorin order (to eat) at the unexpected party (at Bilbo's house)?

IthilienPrincess
05-08-2003, 05:26 PM
for breakfast? um, ham and eggs, poached, no wait, fried, and he was very rude about the whole thing if you ask me, poor bilbo

Lizra
05-10-2003, 05:39 PM
Red wine....good idea! :)

Elvengirl
05-13-2003, 02:13 PM
Is Ithilien right?

Lizra
05-13-2003, 03:00 PM
Yes...Oh Lady of Rohan....What is the correct answer? :)

Lizra
05-13-2003, 10:53 PM
So, he ordered red wine the first night. He told Bilbo he wanted six eggs with his ham (No wonder dwarves main health problem was corpulence! :eek: ) as IthilienPrincess said....fried not poached, and DON"T break the yolks! (gotta agree with him there! ;) )

Lady of Rohan must be occupied....IthilienPrincess, ask us a question please! :)

gimli7410
05-17-2003, 12:45 PM
because he said beorn did not like a lot of visitors and he would be suspicous if they all came at once.

Dreran the Green
