"Fellowship of the Ring" Trivia

[cassiopeia]

Close, Elvengirl, but not quite...

[Elf Girl]

The Hundred-weight feast.

[cassiopeia]

Elf Girl is correct. Your turn. :D

[Lizra]

Calling Elf Girl...Where are you? :confused: ;)

[Lizra]

OK...new question time! Hmmm...

What large birds did they see, as they were cruising down the great river? (I hope I haven't asked that already! :eek: ) :)

[wahine]

There seemed no sign of living moving things, save birds. Of these there were many: small fowl whistling and piping in the reeds, but they were seldom seen. Once or twice the travellers heard the rush and whine of swan-wings, and looking up they saw a great phalanx streaming along the sky.

Strider goes onto say they were Black Swans.

Am I correct or are you talking about something else?

Also, if that's correct I like the hint you gave in the question.

[Lizra]

Dang! That was fast...and correct! :) What a beautiful sight that must have been! I see wild cranes, geese, and ducks....but never swans!

Your question Wahine.

[Cirdan]

I live near the Chesapeake Bay. The are so many swans that the Dept. of the Environment is going to kill some (apparently they eat all the water grasses).:(

[Lizra]

I'll take a few of those! They'd look nice on the creek! :)

[wahine]

Where was the merry old inn?

[Cirdan]

I thought they were all merry and old.:)

[wahine]

Okay, perhaps I should have made those italics.

What is the location of the "Merry old inn"?

[Diamond of Long Cleeve]

Beneath an old grey hill.

[wahine]

Correct.

I was referring to the song Frodo sang in Bree, at the Prancing Pony.

Your turn, Diamond.

[Diamond of Long Cleeve]

Who was the fattest hobbit in the Westfarthing?

[Cirdan]

Fatty Bolger

[Diamond of Long Cleeve]

Not Fatty, sorry.

[Diamond of Long Cleeve]

Not Fatty, sorry.

[Cirdan]

Fatty Lumpkin?

[Diamond of Long Cleeve]

Not that Fatty either.

And wasn't Fatty Lumpkin Tom Bombadil's pony , not a hobbit?:D

[Cirdan]

Yeah... .stupid, fat hobbits!:p

[cassiopeia]

Will Whitfoot?

[Diamond of Long Cleeve]

Yes, Bravo cassiopeia. Pippin tells us this about Will Whitfoot at the inn at Bree. Your turn.

[cassiopeia]

Approximately how many windows did Brandy Hall have?

[-elfearz-]

100, methinks...:p

[cassiopeia]

Yes, your go, fellow Aussie. :D

[Lizra]

Hey elfearz...Are you out there? :)

[Radagast The Brown]

I think someone else should ask the question.

[Lizra]

Perfect! ;)

Where did the warmer air and smell of pine trees make Bilbo drowsy?

[Radagast The Brown]

Rivendell?

[Lizra]

Yeah, That's very good Radagast, :D considering I thought this was the Hobbit trivia thread, and the question was from The Hobbit! :rolleyes: :o So....YOU may ask the next question! :)

[Radagast The Brown]

Well, I wasn't sure (I tried to look for that in the book, but didn't find it), and I decided to guess anyway. :p

Saruman described Radagast in three different adjectives. Itemize them. (I'm not sure 'itemize' is the right word..)

[azalea]

"List" is probably a more precise term for what you're asking. (Just FYI:) )

Er, isn't the answer in your signature? :)

[hectorberlioz]

the brown!the bird tamer! the fool!

correct?

orginally posted by Cassiopeia
Er, isn't the answer in your signature? :) Yeah, I know. (I hoped no one will notice.

One of them, hectorberlioz, is incorrect.

[hectorberlioz]

Oh yeah, radagast the simple,oh well. Do get to ask the next question anyway?:D

[Radagast The Brown]

Ok. :p Your turn.

[hectorberlioz]

Okay! where in the world is carmen sandiego? just kidding:p Who said: " the hafling's leaf as made you slow witted" I believe thats how it goes, i dont have the book with me right now.

[barrelrider110]

let me guess was it rumplestilskin?

no, wrong thing... the halfling's leaf has made me slow witted as well.

i've got it, saruman!

saruman!

[Radagast The Brown]

hectorberlioz??? Where are you?

[barrelrider110]

Originally posted by hectorberlioz

Saruman said it during his conversation with Gandalf in the movie. I could have sworn that this conversation took place in the book, but I can't find it. Here's what Saruman says:' "You need not speak to me as to one of the fools that you take for friends," said he. "I have not brought you hither to be instructed by you, but to give you a choice."

I think hectorberlioz and I have confused the book and the movie, which is one of the downsides of watching a movie adapted from a book.

I withdraw my answer.

[Radagast The Brown]

It can be or Saruman or Gandalf. I would say Saruman.

[Cirdan]

I think the quote from the movie was extracted from the appendix where the events between the hobbit and the beginning of LotR are described.

[barrelrider110]

It's not in the appendices either, and it doesn't appear whenever Gandalf had conversation with Saruman in the rest of the volumes, either. I think it was a contrivance of Jackson's. I propose dismissing the question and moving on.

[Cirdan]

The quote I was thinking of is, "I wonder a little that you should play with your toys of fire and smoke, while others are in earnest speech." in reference to Saruman's annoyance with Gandalf's smoking. (from Unfinished Tales)

...but yes, barrelrider, new question:)

Thank you Cirdan, I thought there was a reference somewhere.

OK.

What device was traced on the sword of Elendil after it had been reforged?

[Radagast The Brown]

"And on its blade was traced a devide of seven stars set between the crescent Moon and the rayed Sun, and about them was written many runes..."

[barrelrider110]

and "made in taiwan" :D

Your go Radagast.

[Radagast The Brown]

What is the name of the river/stream that passed in the old forest?

[kiwi52291]

Hello, I just got here, but I believe the answer is the Withywindle

[Radagast The Brown]

Right. :) Your turn.

Welcome, btw.

[kiwi52291]

Oh my! This is going to sound weird but...what color was Glorfindel's horse?

[Radagast The Brown]

White...?

[kiwi52291]

How did you know?:D

[Radagast The Brown]

What's Nanduhirion and what's its meanning in elvish?

[Lizra]

Nanduhirion means "Valley of the dark streams" in Sindarin....it is the Dimrall Dale in Westron....and Azanulbizar in Khuzdul. This is the valley outside the gates of Moria , it contains the Mirrormere, and is the source of the Silverlode.

[Radagast The Brown]

Right.

[Lizra]

Who said
"If room isn't found for them, they'll find it for themselves. They've a right to live, same as other folk."

[Radagast The Brown]

Is it Butterber?

[Lizra]

Hmmmm....close (right place, wrong person) ;)

[Radagast The Brown]

Nob?

[Lizra]

No :p

[Radagast The Brown]

Bob?

[Lizra]

No! ;)

[Radagast The Brown]

You mean someone who was there? Ok... errrr... Aragorn?

[Lizra]

Well, I can see this is going to go on for some time! :D ;)

This remark was made in Bree....that is the "warm" part...after that, you have not been very close to the answer. :p

[Cirdan]

Butterbur

[Lizra]

No :)

[Lizra]

A hint...there is an Entmoot member who goes by this "name".

[Rosie Gamgee]

Rosie Gamgee!! No . . . I didn't think so.
Is it Gandalf, matey?

[lacemkr90]

Was it the squint-eyed southerner?

[Lizra]

Yes! That icky, nasty, unpleasant Squinty eyed southerner. Your question lacemkr90

[Elvengirl]

There's a squinty-eyed southerner here in the Moot? :eek:

Hmmm......I haven't come across him before.

[Lizra]

Oh my...I didn't mean our Entmoot SES was nasty and icky! :eek: Just the "book" fellow! :)

[lacemkr90]

Which of these names from FoTR are not hobbit names?

Banks
Thistlewool
Appledore
Grubbs
Sandheaver
Burrows
Rushlight
Brockhouses
Tunnelly
Goodbodies

[cassiopeia]

Tunnelly?

[Lizra]

Rushlight? :confused: Goodbody sounds like one of those ladies that send us spam every night! ;)

[Elvengirl]

Originally posted by Lizra

Oh I know, I was joking. :D

[gollum9630]

[lacemkr90]

Banks
Thistlewool
Appledore
Grubbs

Burrows
Rushlight
Brockhouses
Tunnelly
Goodbodies

I have seen some right and some wrong answers. Let me clarify the question. Three of the names are not hobbit names. List those three and you get the answer right. If any of the three are wrong, I'll list the answer as wrong so as not to give anyone an advantage. After I get the correct answer I'll give you a run down on who everyone is. Thanks for playing:)

ohhhhhhhhhhhh, i get it now.

then my guess is: Banks
Goodbodies
Rushlight

[cassiopeia]

Okay, I'll have a go.

Tunnelly, Rushlight, Thistlewool.

[lacemkr90]

Sorry, both tries are wrong.
:(

[durin's bane]

I am guessing it is:

Thistlewool
Appledore
Rushlight

[Rosie Gamgee]

Appledore, Brockhouses, Sandheaver

???

[Lizra]

Durin's Bane's got it!

[Rosie Gamgee]

Aw, maaaaaaaaannnnnn!!:D

[lacemkr90]

Yes,
Durin's Bane got it right:D

Thistlewood, Rushlight and Appledore are names of big folk in Bree. They are "rather botatincal" for hobbit names.

Banks, Brockhouse, Sandheaver and Tunnelly are names of little folk in Bree.

Grubbs, Burrows and Goodbodies are from the Shire and were at Bilbo's party.

Thanks for playing:)

Your turn Durin's Bane.

[durin's bane]

Hmm...I am no good at making up questions, but...

How many people were invited to Bilbo and Frodo's birthday party?

[PntSzePervincaTook]

144 because the total number of guests equaled the number than Frodo's and Bilbo's age added up to.

111 + 33 = 144! hehe

[durin's bane]

Yep, that's right! That's the only question I could come up with at the spur of the moment, lol.
Your turn, Pervinca!

[Rosie Gamgee]

One gross of hobbits. How vulgar! :D

[Lizra]

Really! :eek: Rather rude....and in bad taste! :D ;)

[Radagast The Brown]

Who asks the question now?

[LutraMage]

Originally posted by Radagast The Brown

[azalea]

I wouldn't hold my breath on that one, since she's only ever made one post, and that was about two weeks ago. Why doesn't someone just ask?

[LutraMage]

[durin's bane]

I'll ask:

Where did Legolas's arrow pierce the great wolf-chieftain?

[LutraMage]

Right in the throat?

[durin's bane]

Close, but not the right answer. :)

[nessa]

In the heart?

[durin's bane]

Correct! Your turn, Nessa! :)

[nessa]

What was the name of the room in Rivendell where "many songs and tales" could be heard? ;)

[Varda Oiolosseo]

The Hall of Fire

[Radagast The Brown]

The Hall of Fire?

[nessa]

'Tis answered well, Varda. Over to you I believe.

[Varda Oiolosseo]

I have to go and i'm really sorry coz i can't think of a question right now so i pass it over to someone else who has one.

[Varda Oiolosseo]

ok i have one...

Of whom did Froda ask "And then where are we to go"?.

[durin's bane]

Gandalf?

[Varda Oiolosseo]

Yup :D

Over to you durin's bane.

:D

[LutraMage]

Where's Durin's Bain got to? :confused:

[Cirdan]

Somebody may as well ask a question.

[durin's bane]

Sorry, I forgot I posted here. :( Anyway, here's the question:

What did the Hobbits have for supper at Farmer Maggot's house?

[Rosie Gamgee]

Mushrooms!!

[durin's bane]

Yup, your turn!

[Kirinki54]

This one looks like it is up for grabs!

What was the detail Aragorn changed in Bilbo´s song of Eärendil?

(Hope nobody asked this before...)

[Valandil]

It was an EMERALD!

[Kirinki54]

Originally posted by Valandil

That is correct!

This is a nice link: http://www.thetolkienwiki.org/wiki.cgi?action=browse&id=Elessar&oldid=Elfstone

[Valandil]

My Question... (asking is definitely harder)

OK - when do we first see Strider laugh?

[Elvengirl]

Hmmm total guess - in Rivendell?

[Valandil]

No... but nice guess. Any other tries? Anyone else??

[Alqualaure]

Hoo, hom... how 'bout Bree?

;)

[Valandil]

Yes - I'll take that.

I was thinking of where Frodo admits that he thought a servant of the enemy would seem fairer and feel fouler. Aragorn laughs and remarks that he therefore must "feel fair and look foul"

Had to check the chapter though - and found two prior places where Aragorn laughs as he says something: first when replying to Sam's statement to the effect that perhaps he has good reason for spying and eavesdropping - and should perhaps explain it to them - and the second when he gives a "queer laugh" saying that it would be nice to be taken in for what he is.

Alqualaure - your question?

[Alqualaure]

Holy moly! I didn't actually consider I would be correct - just sort of tossed that one out there! LOL! :D

Alright, give me half a moment to come up with something!

(Be back shortly...)
A somewhat stunned Alqua :p

[Alqualaure]

Okay, here goes nothing...

Who was Amroth?

;)

[Radagast The Brown]

King of Lorien?

[Alqualaure]

Hmmm...

Okay, I'm technically not sure on this one! LOL I think you are correct, Radagast - but there's a sort of "technicality"... perhaps others can pitch in to confirm this for us?

I was going for "the lover of Nimrodel". However...

Of old he was an Elven-king,
A lord of tree and glen,
When golden were the boughs in spring
In fair Lothlorien.

SO... does this mean he was a king of Lorien? Or is it that he was a king "when golden were the boughs in spring in fair Lothlorien"??? I was under the impression that only Galadriel and Celeborn ruled Lorien... See what I mean?

Help!?! :D
PS! - Sorry this reply took so long folks - I had a pile of work yesterday!
PPS! - I guess I've thrown the answer at any rate... regardless of the "technicality", I think it's your go, Radagast!

[Radagast The Brown]

It's from UT: 'The History of Galadriel and Celeborn and Amroth king of Lorien' - in the forth chapter in the second age.

I don't have a very good question, so... When (month) did the fellowship left Rivendell?

[Valandil]

Fellowship left Rivendell on December 25th! (3018)

And... Alqualaure, here's something perhaps of interest. Amroth ruled Lorien until - oh I think about 1981 - just after the Balrog appeared in nearby Moria. There was a general flight from the area - which is why Amroth and Nimrodel left, intending to take their west-bound ship trip.

It was after this that Celeborn and Galadriel were invited in to reign in Lorien (experts: if I'm off, help me here - this is from foggy memory). However, I THINK there may be something in UT about them being in Lorien in the Second Age...??? JRRT changed his mind about some historical events and never worked it all out to perfection - but why should he have - it's all fictitious history anyway!:D

Sorry if that last statement shocked :eek: anyone...

Sorry if that last statement shocked :eek: anyone... You're right. (and if you looked in the appendixes - it's not fair. I suspect so because there was no specific date in FOTR)

Anyway you're right abuot UT. But therer are many versions in UT... the story in UT, is, btw, the shortened.

[Valandil]

I didn't look - but probably remembered it from the appendices. It IS a memorable date after all.

Sorry... I'll have to get back later with a question. Oh wait... holiday weekend, about to leave work, mom's coming up for my birthday and baby's birthday... calls for an easy one:

What color is associated with Rhadagast?
:D

[Radagast The Brown]

Errr.... brown?

[Valandil]

You're RIGHT!!!:p

Take it away...

[Radagast The Brown]

*suspicious voice* o...k...

Who created the Three elven rings?

[Alqualaure]

CELEBRIMBOR!!!!! :D

BTW, thanks Radagast & Valandil for the interesting info on Amroth! Now for a perhaps stupid newbie question... what is "UT"?

Alqua :cool:

[Radagast The Brown]

UT- Unfinished Tales.

You're right. Your turn.

[Alqualaure]

Ah! UT! :) Thanks Radagast! :)

Alright, on to more trivia...

Who was Elrond's chief counsellor?

:cool:

[Radagast The Brown]

Erestor?

[Alqualaure]

Bravo, Radagast! :D Your go!

:cool:

[Radagast The Brown]

What did Goldberry wear when the hobbits saw her in the first time?

[Alqualaure]

A green gown "shot with silver" and a gold belt shaped like lilies.

:D

[Radagast The Brown]

Right.:) Your turn.

[Alqualaure]

Who or what are Baraz, Zirak, and Shathur???

;)

[Radagast The Brown]

Mountain?

[Alqualaure]

Ai! This She-Elf cannot stump the Wizard! I will have to "hit the books" - LOL Back to you, Radagast!

:D

[Radagast The Brown]

:p

Here's my question: What did Sam throw on Bill Ferny in Bree?

[Alqualaure]

An apple - which I believe he instantly regretted tossing away?!?

:cool:

[Radagast The Brown]

Yup. Your turn.

[Alqualaure]

Concerning Aragorn...

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken:
The crownless again shall be king.

Who composed theses verses?

;)

[The Gaffer]

Bilbo?

[Alqualaure]

Good on ya, Gaffer! Your turn... :D

[The Gaffer]

Yikes! Gotta think of a question.

Where did the Underhills come from?

[Rosie Gamgee]

uh.... under the hill? :p J/K ;)

[Alqualaure]

Bree???

:cool:

[The Gaffer]

You're getting warmer...

[Valandil]

Stadle...???

[The Gaffer]

Yup, that's right (except it's spelled Staddle).:)

[Valandil]

Hokay, lessee...

According to Bilbo, when did he arrive in Esgaroth?

[Radagast The Brown]

You mean, in the Erebor journey, or the one after his 111 birthday?

[Valandil]

*thinking how to answer without like totally giving it away to the brown one with the book:p *

Well, Bilbo is speaking and makes the statement. Not sure if he does it twice. If so, give both answers - if one's right, it's yours.:)

[The Gaffer]

On his birthday :D

[Valandil]

Do you recall which one?:)

[Radagast The Brown]

51st?

[Valandil]

Yes - you have the con!

(note: I had mistakenly asked that in Hobbit trivia - we don't actually get the info until FOTR... shame on me! shouldn't rely too much on my foggy memory - esp with the asking!)

[Radagast The Brown]

To which house did Gildor Inglorion belong?

[Cirdan]

fingon

[Radagast The Brown]

No.

[Earniel]

The house of SGH's love bunny Finrod? :D

[Radagast The Brown]

yup. :p

[Earniel]

Neh neh neh. :p

Alright, let me look for a question....

After the death of his parents, where did Frodo live before Bilbo took him in?

[Radagast The Brown]

In Brendy Hall?

[Earniel]

Brandy hall it is, your turn again. :)

[Radagast The Brown]

Who gave the hobbits their swords?

[Cirdan]

Tom B.

[Radagast The Brown]

Correct. (thought it was pretty easy):)

[Cirdan]

Where did Merry's ponies go after the stranger let them out of the Prancing Pony's stables?

[Autumn]

Back to Tom Bombadil?

[Cirdan]

close...

[Lizra]

Back to Fatty Lumpkin? Wasn't that Tom's pony's name?

[Cirdan]

Yep. You're up, Liz.:)

[Lizra]

OK, give me a moment to come up with a good one. Be right back.... :)

[Lizra]

What was something that Sam always carried with him?

[Turambar1982]

his cooking gear:)

[Lizra]

YEs....but this answer can get even more specific....if you wish! ;) The thing I'm thinking of was something he always replinished, whenever he could. (huge hint....)

[Cirdan]

salt

[Lizra]

Yes! That's the exact answer I was looking for. Salt, the magic flavor enhancer....followed closely by sugar! :) Cirdan or Turambar 1982 may ask the next question, whichever one would rather ask, since you both were right!

[Cirdan]

Coneys w/o salt would not taste very good.

Who did Frodo speak with at length at the feast in the Last Homely House east of the sea?

[The Gaffer]

That would be Gloin.

[Cirdan]

right, gaffer.

[The Gaffer]

Okey doke.

So how did Gandalf close the door in the Chamber of Mazarbul?

[Keith K]

with a wizard spell?

[The Gaffer]

I think we need to be a bit more specific than that...

[Turambar1982]

he held the door shut with a spell and after the balrog"fought" with him the ceiling came down

[The Gaffer]

Sorry for the hiatus..

OK, you're right so far, but after the balrog seized the door, used a counter-spell and the door started to open, how did Gandalf stop it?

[Radagast The Brown]

He cause a collapse of the cieling and blocked it. :rolleyes: Really, how do you suppose we should know that? Tolkien didn't note that.

[The Gaffer]

Er...well it's in my copy :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[Radagast The Brown]

Where? Is it in 'The Bridge of Khazad Dum', or another chapter?

[The Gaffer]

Oooh, you're cheating!! ;)

Well, I presume that I've expressed myself VERY poorly in this question, since the answer is in black and white in the Bridge chapter.

Gandalf says that he had to speak the "word of Command".

Sorry about that (or maybe I defeated the triviasters). Anyway, here's another question:

What kind of (walking?) tree don't you get in the Northfarthing?

[Radagast The Brown]

Oooooh! no! I found it now. not fair. I th9ught it's in another part of the chapter.

[LutraMage]

You don't get elm trees (walking or otherwise) :p !

[The Gaffer]

(sorry, Radagast, I thought we were getting stuck so decided to move it on)

he he, well done LutraMage

[LutraMage]

Thanks TG.

Okay, it's been a long time since I posted a trivia question, and I notice that RtB is still on the prowl for new questions, so how's this? What happened immediately after Menelvagor appeared?

[The Gaffer]

those bloody elves burst into song again! (hurls taters) shut up will yer, some of us 'ave got ter be up at dawn to weed the beds

[The Gaffer]

The Gaffer's off on his travels for a few days so if that's right, someone else have a go.

ta-ta

[Amea]

*pops out of the surounding darkness*
I guess I'll have a go...
Translate this...
"Ash nazg durbatluk, Ash nazg gimbatul, Ash nazg thrakatuluk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul"
Good luck!!:D
*melts into the darkness*

[Valandil]

Guessing...

Is it something like:

"One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them"...??

[Amea]

* pops out of the darkness and shakes Valandil's hand*
Nice job :D Your turn

[Valandil]

Who watched and waited for Gil-galad at the Tower of Amon Sul on Weathertop?

PS: I DON'T actually speak the Black Speech, btw... HONEST! :D

[Bacchus]

Elendil

[Valandil]

Your turn Bacchus!

[Bacchus]

How long had Gandalf been 'missing' before he suddenly appearred at Bag End in Spring 3018?

[cassiopeia]

Nine years, from memory.

[Bacchus]

correct. yer up

[cassiopeia]

Who told Sam: "Don't you leave him!"?

[Radagast The Brown]

Gandalf?

[Turambar1982]

Gildor???

[Amea]

Uh? Gildor? and that would be? Uh I'm lost! :confused: What are you poeple talking about? Oh wait now I remember. Boy I'm getting behind. Gildor's elves did tell Sam not to leave Frodo but it wasn't Gildor himself. :D Uh, I hate cracking on people but Uh next time you need to be more specific,cassiopeia
:D

[cassiopeia]

I don't believe I need to be more specific. The question is quite clear. Somebody or a group of somebodies told Sam not to leave him. Quite simple. From memory nobody else told Sam that in the FOTR. It was meant to be a bit of a trick question because in the movies Gandalf told Sam not to leave him.

Anyway, if was the elves, not sure if it was Gildor himself (the text only says elves), so I suppose Amea got it. :)

[Amea]

I'm sorry cassiopeia it was wrong of me to try to correct you. I hope you except my apologies.

No problem. I thought the question was perfectly clear, but you are free to disagree if you wish. :) Are you going to ask a question?

[Amea]

Alright as long as were're on speaking terms: Who sang the fall of Gilglade to the Hobbits? :D

[Radagast The Brown]

You mean, Gilgalad?

Sam?? (or Aragorn... my guess is still Sam.)

[Amea]

Good It's your Question :D

[Radagast The Brown]

Who raised Frodo until Bilbo decided to take him and raise him?

[Amea]

It's just a guess, But Old Took

[Radagast The Brown]

No.

[The Dunedain]

First Drogo Baggins, then the Brandybucks

[Radagast The Brown]

(I meant..) Who from the Brandybucks?

[Amea]

Okay let me try this agian...
Old Master Gorbadoc

[Radagast The Brown]

Right. Your turn. :)

[Amea]

Yeah!!!

Who said "Short cuts make long delays"?

[The Dunedain]

It was............. Merry Brandybuck!

[Rosie Gamgee]

'R you sure it wasn't Pip? I just read that part and can't believe I can't remember. I love what Frodo says after: "Short cuts make long delays, but inns make longer ones." :D

[The Dunedain]

I think, they both say it. Merry to Strider and Pippin to Frodo.

[brownjenkins]

i think pip does say it first when frodo decides to cut through the woods instead of taking the road... then frodo says it later with the "inn" part, in a reply to pip wanting to stop at the golden perch on the way to crickhollow

[Turambar1982]

just looked it up. it was definitly pip.:cool:

Merry's comment to Strider was more along the lines of "Not a short cut, I hope. Our last short cut through the woods almost led to disaster."

[The Dunedain]

Then Rosy Gamgee gets to go

[Radagast The Brown]

Hey! Rosie! Ask a question! :mad:

[Lizra]

I'll ask! I appear to have stumped em on "The Hobbit" trivia...:D so I'll try here.

Where were they having some trouble with "big people" in the Shire...acording to Frodo?

[The Dunedain]

The southfarthing

[Lizra]

Right answer, your turn. :)

[Silme*Christian]

sorry to interupt, but i just want to try something. You see, my friend and I had a bet to see if a lot of die-hard-LotR fans knew the answere to my question. She didn't know the answer and said that I might be the ONLY one and I told her that a lot of BIG LotR fans knew...here it is:

What is the real power/purpose of the three Elven rings of power?

[The Gaffer]

Er.. it was something like healing, preservation and inspiration. If you do a search on Vilya, Narya and/or Nenya I'm sure you'll find the definitive answer.

* tum-te-tum; still waiting for a trivia question *

[Lizra]

Who was described as having a cleft in his chin and a "perky chap with a bright eye"?

[The Gaffer]

Frodo, by Gandalf

[Lizra]

That's the guy. :) You ask now.

[The Gaffer]

How much did Bill cost?
