That's what I was thinking. In fact, we're assuming Amroth drowned, but it seems reasonable to think so. Hmmm... who else?? :confused:

[Radagast The Brown]

I did think of Amroth and Nimrodel; but I forgot whether or not it was mentioned in FotR.
Oin?

[Valandil]

I thought the 'watcher' got him? (What made me suggest the riddling thread to UJ was a riddle whose answer was Oin... this drowning question reminded me of it)

[Ultimatejoe]

Amroth's death is mentioned in hte Lay of Nimrodel, which Legolas sings a part of as he crosses that river. Still missing one though.

[Spock]

Gee and I get criticized when I'm a stickler for an accurate and full reply. :cool:

[Ultimatejoe]

I'll give you guys a big clue. It's in the appendices.

[Radagast The Brown]

Numenore?

[Spock]

UJ- you missed the rules of the thread; posted ages ago.

No appendix questions. The question has to come from the storyline itself.;)

There is a thread for trivia based upon appendixes, so you might want to join that.

[Ultimatejoe]

Seriously? Then I'll give it to Radagast. I was thinking about Barahir's death off the icy coasts of Forochel.

[Radagast The Brown]

Wasn't it Arvedui? I thought about him too, but he wasn't in FotR, so...

Is it my turn then?

[Lizra]

Well...It was a great effort at stumping us! :D Thank you anyways! I like them (sort of :eek: ) hard! :)

[Spock]

YES IT'S YOUR TURN If you'd empty your mailbox once in a while the PM's would get through. :D :D

[Radagast The Brown]

Heh. :p I thought I have emptied it already.

Edit - wrong trivia. :o :p
New question coming...

What was given to Merry and Pippin by Galadriel when they left Lorien?

[Ultimatejoe]

Dammit, it was Arvedui. I'm really firing on all cylinders today.

[Spock]

RTB- elven cloaks of grey fastned with a green leaf broach.

[Radagast The Brown]

She gave another thing, only to Merry and Pippin.

[Lizra]

Gas-X pills...for the Lembas...:p :D (ok, ignore me)

[Vicky]

little sivery belts

Oops, I mean silvery...

:D

[Radagast The Brown]

Yes.

[Vicky]

Okay, I hope that no one has askeds this before (it's a bit to hard to read everything ;) )

How long did Gandalf stay away after the party?

[Spock]

But I had to say welcome to the board to someone from the home of my favorite type of chocolate.:D

[Radagast The Brown]

3 years? (if I understand the question)

[Vicky]

your wright (so you did understand the question)

[Radagast The Brown]

Indeed. :)

What did Bilbo give to Dora Baggins, and why?

[Vicky]

silvery spoons because she once stole some.

[Radagast The Brown]

No, that was Lubalia Sackville-Baggins.

[Vicky]

I knew it was too easy :rolleyes:

[Ultimatejoe]

Silver mirror?

[Radagast The Brown]

No... It was Angela I think.

[Durin1]

Waste paper basket?

[Radagast The Brown]

Yes.

[Durin1]

How long do the fellowship spend in Lothlorien?

[Twista]

3 Days?

[Valandil]

Originally posted by Durin1

One month

[Durin1]

uh... you know what?... i've just realised... i've asked a question that i can't remember the answer to. :o

I'll have to refer back to the book and find out, unless someone else categorically knows the answer.

[Lizra]

Aw...It's just an elvish spell! ;) Time seems to stand still in Lothlorien! :D

[Radagast The Brown]

They were in Lorien 32 days. (checked) So... I think it's Valandil's turn - it's a month and 1 day after all, he was very close.

[Twista]

What???? I typed 32 or rather mistyped! UNFAIR!!! :mad:

[Valandil]

Who built and excavated Brandy Hall and changed his name to Brandybuck?

[Twista]

Gorhendad Oldbuck ?

[Valandil]

Yes :)

[Twista]

Complete this quote:

"The words were not the doom of .... " said Aragorn

[Spock]

Minas Tirith:D

[Twista]

Yes. Your sad for knowing that lol. :D

[Spock]

What was clear and colourless and carried by Gandalf?

[Twista]

The stone jewel on the end of his staff

[Spock]

OK, you got me. Six days of a migraine and Rx had me not clear about what I asked, as Miruvor which was what I was seeking.
:(
You ARE correct about the stone though too

YOUR GO.!
;)

[Twista]

OK sorry took so long... :p

Question: What "astonishing" news reached the Ivy Bush and the Green Dragon one day?

[Durin1]

That Frodo was about to sell Bag-end, and to the Sackville-Bagginses?

[Twista]

yes

[Spock]

Just to say I'm back and to get this tracking of replies back onto my computer.
Message sent to last correct answer by "D" and we'll wait a couple of days for a new question.

It's been weeks.:rolleyes:

[Radagast The Brown]

I think that the rules say a new question should be asked... So, if you don't mind:

Where can be found most of the weapons from in the Shire?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

The Mathom House in Michel Delving.

[Radagast The Brown]

Correct.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

What is Bilbo's present for Lobelia Sackville-Baggins?

[Valandil]

Originally posted by Last Child of Ungoliant

Hey gang, we gotta get the 'Appendix Trivia' thread geared up again too! :p

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

Of course you are right, Val!
and i will go over to appendix trivia in a minute...!:D

[Valandil]

OK... what was 'Orald'?

[Radagast The Brown]

Tom Bombadil in Dwarvish(sp.)?

[Valandil]

You're close, but it's not Dwarvish... ;)

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

is that what the men of the area used to call him?

[Valandil]

Correct! Elrond says that 'Northern Men' used to call him that.

Your turn Chrys... :)

[Spock]

Originally posted by Valandil

The name northern man used for Tom Bombadill.

[Valandil]

THE FUNNY THING IS that at the time I posted my reply....no one had replied correctly.....those answers were posted later yet reflect an earlier time. Technology at its best :rolleyes:

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

What are Haldir's 2 brothers called?
(both to win please)

[Spock]

Rúmil and Orophin.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

yes, spock, your turn now

[Spock]

Ok, I'm unpacked and have my books. Now for one of my famous questions.

Who rode in a boat steered by two eleves clad in white and using black paddles?

[Radagast The Brown]

I suppose it's Galadriel?

[Spock]

R. how are you doing? Things over there look bleak from US medai reports.

You got almost the entire answer..as is usual with my questions....try again.....stay safe.

[Radagast The Brown]

And Celeborn?

Thanks. :) I'm ok... nothing new here... how are oyu?

[Spock]

Wow, I didn't last long with that one but at least it was answered by my long time cyber friend.

Your go.

Things here going box by box. You don't realize how much "stuff" you accumulate until you move and then have to unpack it all. I've got more stuff under plastic outside awaiting the delivery and set up of a storage shed next week. More goodies should be found then.
But I've got my Map of Middle Earth, from '70, framed and hanging in my office so I'm doing well.

About the question, here it comes:
How many wardens guarded the bottom of the huge tree where Galadriel and Celeborn dwell, when the fellowship arrived there?

[AntiXZer01]

There were 3 and they were tall, clad in grey mail and long white cloaks.

I'm a little busy and cant think of a good question so here is a nice easy one;

What are five different names of Gandalf!?(excluding the name Gandalf!)

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

mithrandir
tharkun
olorin
lathspell
stormcrow
g the white
g the grey
g greyhame

in the above 'g' stands for gandalf

[Radagast The Brown]

I have two comments:
1. You're right, AntiXZer... but you suppose to wait for the question asker to say so, before asking a new question.
2. I don't think you can 5 names for Gandalf in FotR... Tharkun, Olorin, Lathspell, Stormcrow, Gandalf the White, Gandalf Greyhame... are all from TTT and RotK.

[Spock]

Just adding my voice to RTB, who is right on both counts as usual.:cool:

[Radagast The Brown]

Sorry for not replying to your PM, Spock, I forgot... I'm going to do it right now.

*dodges Valandil's Hummer*
Sorry, back to topic. ;)

[Valandil]

AntiXZer01 - yes, that's the way we play the game. We see you're new around these parts though, so welcome to this game and welcome to Entmoot! Try again with a question straight from 'Fellowship of the Ring' - and then scoot on over to 'The Official Welcome Thread' in General Messages to introduce yourself to the community. Nice to have you here. :)

[Spock]

:confused: :confused:

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

someone ought to go,
i can't cause the question i answered wasn't valid
and i got too much to do in RL!! :p

[Spock]

Who are the two characters that first saw the Black Riders in Bree?

[Lizra]

Guess....Merry and Strider?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

merry and nob

[Elanor the Fair]

Nob and Barliman

[Spock]

Originally posted by Last Child of Ungoliant

YOU got it right. See, now it's your turn anyway.;)

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

Sam's cousin Hal works for whom, at Overhill, in the Northfarthing?

[Spock]

Mr. Boffin.

Now I'm going off line for the night. This is too fast for me.:p

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

Your go again Spock! :p

[Elanor the Fair]

In the interests of accuracy I should point out that the black riders were seen in Bree before the four hobbits arrived (although it doesn't technically state that they were riding at the time! :) ) The passage I refer to is when Barliman is talking to Frodo up in his room.

"These black men," said the landlord lowering his voice. "They're looking for Baggins, and if they mean well then I'm a hobbit. It was Monday, and all the dogs were yammering and the geese screaming. Uncanny, I called it. Nob, he came and told me that two black men were at the door asking for a hobbit called Baggins.' Nob's hair was all stood on end. I bid the black fellows be off, and slammed the door on them."

What do you think?? I think it was Nob and Barliman who saw the riders in Bree first. :) :)

I think Spock was speaking of when they were seen prior to the company of Hobbits (and aragorn) leaving for Rivendell. :)

[Valandil]

Well... I think that you are indeed, quite fair! :p ;)

[Spock]

The correct reply was given and the circumstances surrounding it's phrasing were correct. I specifically asked for the two characters and in only the passage where Nob & Merry run into the Hobbits room at the inn, are two characters mentioned in the same passage. Barliman only "heard it" from Nob. As questioner, the decision of correctness stands.:D

now give me a few more hours to think up a good question..again.:p

[Spock]

:D It's another of my famous questions.

What is the name of the location where Frodo used to go to collect his favorite dish?

NO not who owned it.:rolleyes: ;)

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

Spock - as the questioner I agree that your decision stands - however in my defense I must point out that Barliman did not hear it from Nob - he bid the riders be off and slammed the door in their face. :)

I'm not being churlish - I am just being accurate. Enough, however, on that subject. I will try really hard to answer another question correctly!!
:D

[Spock]

Anyone who can use that adjective correctly deserves futher response.!

Perhaps it would have been more clear or as the public schools say "more better" if I had phrased it *two characters reported to Frodo*. However, water has gone down the Bryandywine and I await another correct response.

[Spock]

Originally posted by Last Child of Ungoliant
Bamfurlong,

hmmm, I can't find it. Your location is found in ROTK. Can you advise where in FOTR exactly. Sorry for the possible lapse of my brain.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

Spoken by Pippin in A Shortcut to Mushrooms FotR, Chapter IV
'I know these fields and this gate!' he said. 'This is Bamfurlong, old Farmer Maggot's land. That's his farm away there in the trees.'

[Spock]

....sighs.....:rolleyes:

Yes he does say that in chapter 4 but that was always taken by me as the name of his farm not the location.

In chapter 5 it states "....Hobbits have a passion for mushrooms.....which explains young Frodo's long expeditions to the renowned fields of the Marish."

I'm always having problems because I try to be very precise but so far very few here get the answers I seek. I guess "the ring" has clouded my judgement.:D

So I give up and you can go now L.C.O.U.;)

[Spock]

"Indeed"
....Teal'c



Hey V. your insight into this is amazinly accurate.:D

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

To whom was an (empty) bookcase given
in Bilbo's farewell presents?

[Elanor the Fair]

Hugo Bracegirdle - a great borrower of books!! :D

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

yes, your turn elanor :)

[Elanor the Fair]

I'm so excited - I'm trying to come up with a question that requires a bit of thinking, so here goes.....

How many of the Nazgul were sighted in Eriador the night the four hobbits slept in Bree and where were they sighted?

The answer must be based on actual sightings by characters in the Fellowship of the Ring and not on speculation or hypothesis by characters in the book. :D

[Radagast The Brown]

I think it would be one, seen by Merry in Bree. Others saw them in Buckland, not the Fellowship though. Maybe Aragorn saw some as well? But he doesn't say anything about it...

[Elanor the Fair]

Originally posted by Radagast The Brown

I thought I already posted a reply here!! so if another one turns up, please ignore it!! :)

No, Radagast, I'm sorry, but that answer is incorrect, however, you are on the right track!!

My question didn't ask who of the Fellowship saw the Nazgul, just what were the positive sightings by characters in the book.

And you are right about Aragorn. He does see some in Bree, but not on the evening that the hobbits stayed there. He saw them previous to this.

Good work so far!! :D

[Spock]

Elanor you're doing much better now (from Night Court). At least there are now two of us asking this type of question.;)

[Radagast The Brown]

Fine - one of them was seen, his name wasn't mentioned, outside of the Prancing Pony.

[Elanor the Fair]

Thank you, Spock!! :)

I'm sorry, Radagast, I seem to be confusing you everytime I post a reply. You were on the right track but just need to add the two sightings together. :)

The night the four hobbits stayed in Bree, the Nazgul were sighted in Eriador in two locations - as you have already determined in your earlier post. :)

How many were seen at each location?? Add them together and, hey presto, you will have the correct answer!! :D Please try again as I am sure you will get it right next time!!

[Spock]

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Elanor the Fair
[B]Is that good????? :D

Elanor you give me hope. Next time I won't let them beat me into submission so easily. RTB will get it he has a problem with this type of detailed question (no offense Rad.:) )

The Night Court (a US tv sitcom) has the father of the leading character in a mental institution for some years. When he reunites with his son he says: "I used to write my name in cheese whiz, but I'm MUCH better now". The character is played by John Astin who played Gomez in The Adams Family.

Keep 'em guessing El.:cool:

...."on Monday one came down the Greenway and another appeared later coming up the Greenway from the south" said by Strider.:confused:

[Radagast The Brown]

3 in Buckland and one in Bree. That would be 4 in the overall.

[Elanor the Fair]

Originally posted by Radagast The Brown

You are correct, Radagast. :)

The night the hobbits were in Bree, one Nazgul was sighted by Merry and Nob in the streets of Bree. On this same night, three Nazgul were sighted in Buckland by Freddy Bolger when they invaded the house in Crickhollow.

Your turn. :)

[Elanor the Fair]

Originally posted by Spock

...."on Monday one came down the Greenway and another appeared later coming up the Greenway from the south" said by Strider.:confused: [/B]

Sorry, Spock, that is not correct. Certainly the Nazgul were sighted on the Monday, however, that was not the night the hobbits spent in Bree, but earlier in the week. It was a good attempt though!! :) Radagast eventually calculated the correct answer. :)

[Spock]

Indeed, I said he'd get it but how he did I still can't figure. He's a maven!

[Radagast The Brown]

Heh.

Whazt is the 'mode' (that's how Aragorn says it) of the song of Tinuviel Aragorn sings to thje Hobbits in Weathertop?

[Spock]

The mode called ann-thennath among the Elves.

[Radagast The Brown]

Correct Spock.

I know this is from a question a while back but wasnt the first character to see the black rider the gatekeeper? or at least bill ferny?

[Spock]

hmmm, the question is old and way out of sequence but they were seen in many places as it turns out...anyway I'll post my next question later today.

[Spock]

What was t he Hundred Weight Feast?

[Elanor the Fair]

The party held by Frodo in honour of Bilbo's hundred and twelfth birthday, the year after Bilbo departed from the Shire.

[Spock]

You're right. And now I should try to get some sleep.;)

[Elanor the Fair]

When did Merry first see Bilbo put on the Ring?

[Radagast The Brown]

On a path in the Shire, Merry saw Bilbo putting the ring when the Sackville Baggins's came towards him. I don't tihnk the specific place is written/.

[Elanor the Fair]

Originally posted by Radagast The Brown

Yes, that is correct, Radagast. The place is not written, however, the time is - a year before Bilbo's 111th birthday party.

You may have a turn!! :D

[Radagast The Brown]

What is the meaning of the name Gil-Galad?

[Durin1]

Star of Radiance

[Radagast The Brown]

Yes. Or, at least, very close - because by FotR it's Starlight. Your turn then, Durin.

[Durin1]

Most questions have probably been exhausted during the course of this thread but here goes anyway:

What do the Elves call the Hoarwell?

[Erkenbrand Of Rohan]

Mitheithel?

[Spock]

Just a post to try and kick start the emailing of responses to me again as I'm not getting any notices of posts to threads.

BTW I'm going to get "re-moused" from the 20th to the 26th so keep on truckin without me. :cool: :D

Did you get an email regarding this post Spock?? I wondered why you were missing from the most recent trivia threads!! :D I thought you were giving the rest of us a chance!! :p

BTW what is "re-moused"??:confused:

[Spock]

Elanor, yeahhhhhhhhh:D I got an email notification of your post back. My "kick the computer post" did it.

Re-Moused is when one has been to Disney Land (Calif.) or Disney World (Fl) and enjoyed Mickey Mouse & Company. Once experienced, re-Mousing is necessary from time to time to be able to deal with the real world.;)

[Radagast The Brown]

Erkenbrand, I checked and you're right. So it's your turn. (just to keep the thread moving)

[Erkenbrand Of Rohan]

Who sang part of the song 'The Fall of Gil-galad'?

Gil-gal was an Elven-King,
Of him the harpers sadly sing;
the last whose realm was fair and free
between the Mountains and the Sea.

His sword was long, his lance was keen,
his shining helm afar was seen;
the countless stars of heaven's filed
were mirrored in his silver shield.

But long ago he rode away,
and where he dwelleth none can say;
for into darkness fell his star
in Mordor where the shadows are.

[Radagast The Brown]

Sam?

[Erkenbrand Of Rohan]

Yes, that's right. Your go.

[Radagast The Brown]

When (date) did the hobbits and Strider arrived to Weathertop? (sp.?)

[Count Comfect]

The 6th of October?

[Radagast The Brown]

Indeed. :)

[Count Comfect]

What are the sign(s) Gandalf leaves on Weathertop that Aragorn interprets to mean he was there 3 days before?

[Radagast The Brown]

A 'g' and three lines (III)?

[Count Comfect]

Yes, indeed. Your go.

[Spock]

HEY, I'm back and see the pages have a new design:? yes?
Also RTB you need to go now..........four days.............see what happens when I'm not around. smile

[Radagast The Brown]

HEY, I'm back and see the pages have a new design:? yes?
Also RTB you need to go now..........four days.............see what happens when I'm not around. smile:p

Hmmmm... I'm in England (London), Spock, and haven't got the time til now to ask a new one. I fortunately took my FotR book, so here it goes...

What was the colour of old-father-willow? Or however it's called. The one that catched Merry and Pippin in the Old Forest.

[Carafin]

I don't have my FotR book but I'm going to try anyway, okay?

grey and hoary, silvered with age?


(How I wish I had my book!!! :( )

[Radagast The Brown]

You're not supposed to use the books, Carafin. :) :p

I was actually looking for 'grey' so it's your turn. :)

[Carafin]

Oh *_*; I thought it had to be direct quotes for the answer. :o sorry

Um I don't know what has been asked or not, (since I don't want to read all those pages, it's very long)
here goes:
What (thing) was left by the bridge (on the way to Imladris), that Strider et al interpreted to mean that the bridge was safe?
likie I said I don't have my book with me so I hope it's accurate

[Spock]

Hey, Rad. was only being funny. You did exactly right. No worries. Now to think on that question. :confused:

[Spock]

OK, it was a beryl, an elf-stone. :cool:

[Carafin]

As far as I know, yes, (that is the answer I was looking for) but I don't have my book, soooo......

[Spock]

How many years passed after Gandalf wondered about the ring and finally consulted Aaragorn? :)

[Radagast The Brown]

7 years?

[Carafin]

11 yrs?

[Spock]

Nope to both of you. :(

[Carafin]

hmmmm, 5? this is a difficult question :confused:

[Spock]

Indeed it is. and I am more reluctact to cave to pressure as Val. has pointed out in past questions. There is an answer out there and I can wait. Just not now as it's time for sleep. :D

[Radagast The Brown]

17 years?

[Carafin]

Is this a trick question? maybe it wasn't a full year... so no years passed?

[Spock]

17 years?


YES, I KNEW YOU'D GET IT EVENTUALLY. :D

In the chapter "The Council of Elrond"is where Gandalf says how long it was.

RTB.................your go!! ;) :cool:

[Spock]

HERE IS THE NEXT QUESTION:

When the Fellowship arrived at Caras Galadon, what was the challenge and the reply before they could ascend the trees?

[Radagast The Brown]

I'm sorry I didn't ask a question... I forgot, and didn't ave much time. (I'm in England Spock!:))

the answer - one of the elves made noise with a horn, and a voice gave answer from the top?

[Spock]

You need to be more specific than that.....go to the Tower of London and find a quiet spot to think. :-)

[Spock]

I don't see any post after the 23rd of July. This is just a test to see if the page reloads when posted to. I've tried reloading etc. and don't get any new information.

Strider interpreted the sign as the G rune with 3 to indicate Gandalf had been there on the 3rd.

[Spock]

Somehow my UserCp settings got changed, most strange. All seems working properly now.

How about an answer to that question?

[Radagast The Brown]

Ok... what about 3 elves that used horn to tell there are guests, and horns from top returning a message?

[Spock]

You are on the right track but the wrong answer and not specific.

Val would kill me if I give in again. I know you can get it...or perhaps you're too UK'd to concentrate? :-)

[Valandil]

Not at all Spock! The one time I said something, I was more commenting on how badly you stump us with your typical questions. :p :D

[Radagast The Brown]

What about 3 times the elves from top calledin the horn?

[Spock]

When the Fellowship arrived at Caras Galadon, what was the challenge and the reply before they could ascend the trees?

[Radagast The Brown]

Oh..! I thought you meant Galadriel's and Celeborn's tree. Then did he knock the door and whispereed something, and the door opened?

[Spock]

Sorry, nope.

[Radagast The Brown]

What trees are you talking about? :confused: Not Celeborn and Galadriel's right?

[Spock]

The above as quoted from the book. :rolleyes
...if you don't know it by now you've not looked hard enough.....
....yes.....the area is correct

[Spock]

:rolleyes:


:D

[Radagast The Brown]

Well... I give up, I don't really understand which trees you refer. And I tried all trees I know. And no one else seems to know the answer - no one else posted. Can you please give it to me and ask a new one then? :)

[Halbarad of the Dunedain]

The only trees I can think of are the first that they must climb with Haldir and his brothers... yet I still don't know the answer... is it that their challenege to... climb!? The hobbits had a hard time climbing? No clue...

[Elanor the Fair]

One elf sounded a horn from below and was answered by three horn blows from above.

[Spock]

SHE'S RIGHT GUYS!! Whew, I'm vindicated and Elanor, you go.:cool: :p

[Valandil]

SHE'S RIGHT GUYS!! Whew, I'm vindicated and Elanor, you go.:cool: :p

And I was just about to guess:

"Shave and a haircut... two bits!" :p :D

[Radagast The Brown]

But I said that!

See, I said - 'What about 3 times the elves from top calledin the horn?' as the only change from what I said before - 'one of the elves made noise with a horn, and a voice gave answer from the top?' so there. :p

[Spock]

One elf sounded a horn from below and was answered by three horn blows from above.

That's the correct, complete answer for the question I asked. Reading carefully is usually the key to my questions.
:rolleyes:

[Elanor the Fair]

Sorry, Radagast, I wasn't going to answer the question while you were on the right track, however, I wanted to put you out of your misery. :D :p

I also wanted to prevent Spock from tearing his hair out!! :D

So here is my question....

Where was Gandalf when Frodo, Sam and Pippin set out from Hobbiton?

[Radagast The Brown]

I answered the question correctly, really. I don't understand what Spock is saying, but I answered the question just like you did. Maybe he didn't understand me. :confused:

Anyway, the answer to your question should be in Rohan. Or maybe aready passed Rohan during his journey back to the Shire.

[Elanor the Fair]

I think its just a translation thing, or perhaps just a matter of communication. After all, English is not your native language, but never mind, you answered my question perfectly!! :) :) :) Well done.

Your turn to ask a question now, Radagast!! Make it a complex one and see if you can stump Spock!! :D :p

[Spock]

El. you're right. :)

Rad. you're confused. :p :cool:

Hey isn't that the Swedish Flag? :confused:

[Radagast The Brown]

Yup, for Jonathan the Swedish 'mooter, who had a birthday yesterday. :)

What's the name of the southest peak in the Misty Mountains?

[elixir]

Methedras?

[Radagast The Brown]

Yup.

[elixir]

:)

Gimli said that lembas was even better than what?

[Spock]

"better than the honey-cakes of the Beorings"

[elixir]

Yup, that's correct. :D Your turn!

[Spock]

What used to be at the end of the road from Hollin?

[Radagast The Brown]

Moria?

If not, which road from Hollin you're talking about? :p I'm sure there were more than one.

[Spock]

Moria?

If not, which road from Hollin you're talking about? :p I'm sure there were more than one.
Your first answer is close, extremely close....but again I want specifics based upon the book. -read closely now- :)

[Radagast The Brown]

The western gate? :p

[Spock]

The western gate? :p
..hmmmm, good enough = yugo!

[Radagast The Brown]

What wa sthe shape of the boat that Galariel and Celeborn sailed(as I have no better word) in the depart of Lothlorien?

[elixir]

[Radagast The Brown]

Correct!

[elixir]

What did Glorfindel suggest they should do with the Ring?

[Radagast The Brown]

Throw it to the sea?

[elixir]

Yep, that's it. Your turn! :D

[Radagast The Brown]

What suggestions do Sam suggests, of how to get Merry and Pippin out of Old-man willow?

[Spock]

What suggestions do Sam suggests, of how to get Merry and Pippin out of Old-man willow?
.."we might try to hurt or frighten this tree...if it don't then ....I'll have to gnaw it...."

[elixir]

I think he also suggests they should try with the fire, or chop it with their axe.

[Radagast The Brown]

Yeah, elixir got the full answer, Spock. :p Your turn. :)

[elixir]

What was the elven rope from Lothlorien made of?

[Radagast The Brown]

Hithlain, I think..?

[Spock]

Yeah, elixir got the full answer, Spock. :p Your turn. :)
Gee, yes it was part of the answer I missed but it wasn't the full answer. Guess that's what I get for making RAD try so hard. :(

[elixir]

Well, as they say, what goes around comes around. ;)

You're correct, Rad. :)

[Radagast The Brown]

I've just read that part yesterday, elixir, and besids I asked this question myself a few months ago. :) (Great minds think alike, eh? :p)

What wa the height of Bandobras Took, according to the Red book?

[Spock]

...:p

[elixir]

I've just read that part yesterday, elixir, and besids I asked this question myself a few months ago.
That's strange. I seached this thread for both "rope" and "hithlain" but didn't find anything. :rolleyes:

[Spock]

HEY GUYS seven days and no new question.

[Radagast The Brown]

Oh- sorry, Telcontar, you're right, now ask a question fast. :p

[Spock]

Seems like ROTK and FOTR threads have been asleep. :)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

What colour were the sheaths of the hobbits blades that they dound in th Barrow-Downs?

[Spock]

What colour were the sheaths of the hobbits blades that they dound in th Barrow-Downs?
Black

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Yep. Your go.

[Spock]

The only road of old to Moria from the west lay beside what?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Caradhras or Redorn Gate.

[Spock]

Nope. Careful reading of the question will help. :(

[Radagast The Brown]

Siranon?

[Spock]

Siranon?
Yes, although it's spelled with two "n's". :) Back to you!

[Radagast The Brown]

Nope

[Spock]

Frodo saw the runes.

[Spock]

Hey, Anyone There?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

O right. Yeah you are right.

[Spock]

WHO SAID AND ABOUT WHAT:

"I am being eaten alive"

[Radagast The Brown]

Sam, about midges outside of Bree? Some where after Bree?

[Spock]

Hey, no double answers. We let that slide last week with one person but really only one answer at a time. :rolleyes:
P.S. You're on the right track but the wrong answer. :(

[Radagast The Brown]

That's not two answers, it's one - you didn't ask where.

So if the first part of the answer is correct... if not, could it be Pippin?

[Spock]

That's not two answers, it's one - you didn't ask where.

So if the first part of the answer is correct... if not, could it be Pippin?

Reading again -who and about were the subjected answers sought and you've found them in your round about way. :)

Your go.!

[Radagast The Brown]

:)

How did Amroth die?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Did he drown?

[Radagast The Brown]

Yeah, but How and why... if you know what I mean? Like, what made him take the risk of drowning.

[Spock]

In all fairness, you only asked "how" so that's the only answer required.
