"Two Towers" Trivia

[ethuiliel]

Aaaarggh... I thought I replied...
Yes, that's right.

[Lotesse]

Thanx, Ethuiliel!

At the time when Pippin sneaked a look at the palantir, where was he?

[Morelen]

In a little hillock by the camp.

Wait, is this movie or book? Because that's the book; movie would be in Meduseld or a part thereof.

[Lotesse]

This is trivia for the books; fiilm trivia is in a different forum. And you're close, Morelen, but it needs to be more precise. What is the actual name of where he was?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

I don't think it was named. I may be wrong, but are you looking for Nan Curunir? The valley nearby.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

psst! TD, Nan Curunir is the valley! ;)

the hill begins with a 'B' IIRC but that's all i can remember :confused:

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

I know, that's why I put 'the valley nearby' ;)

[Lotesse]

Where they set up camp was right next to a specific hill, it's named in the book.

[barrelrider110]

Where they set up camp was right next to a specific hill, it's named in the book.

Dol Baran

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

Dol Baran
i knew it began with a B :p

[Twista]

Good one Chrys.... always tryin to take the credit. haha :p

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

hey, i'm a geezer, i'm a bit woah, a bit wayy!! :p

[barrelrider110]

hey, i'm a geezer, i'm a bit woah, a bit wayy!! :p

Crush?

we digress

anyway, how many stairs would you need to climb to reach the door of Orthanc?

[Pytt]

Just one stair :p but maybe..umh..20 steps?

[barrelrider110]

Just one stair :p but maybe..umh..20 steps?

Thank you for clarifying. I was looking for the number of steps. Try again.

[Lotesse]

27 hewn black-rock stairs.

[barrelrider110]

Yep. Your go Lotesse. :)

[Lotesse]

According to Gandalf, who made the palantiri, and of the seven palantiri, where was housed the "chief and master" of Gondor's palantiri?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Maybe even Fëanor himself made them.

[mithrand1r]

According to Gandalf, who made the palantiri, and of the seven palantiri, where was housed the "chief and master" of Gondor's palantiri?

The chief Palantir was in Osgiliath.
I think the Feanor made the stones.

[Lotesse]

Right you are, Anthony - your turn.

[mithrand1r]

Right you are, Anthony - your turn.

I am having a hard time with a good question so a quote will have to do.

Who said:

"It is hot in here, I feel a great wrath about me. Do you not feel the air throb in your ears?"

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Legolas?

[mithrand1r]

Legolas?

Correct. Your turn.
(on the ride to see Saruman in his not so mighty fortress.)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

What did the last one have?

[mithrand1r]

What did the last one have?

Is this your trivia question or are you asking another type of question?

My () was refering to where Legolas made his quote.

[Lotesse]

He said that in Fangorn Forest.

[Lotesse]

Anybody know who's up?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

That was my Trivia question. First you have to work out what 'the last one' is! :evil:

[Lotesse]

I'm not sure I understand - the last one what? the last palantir, the last ring... :confused:

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

You have to figure that out aswell. :evil: If no body gets it I'll make it easier.

[Lotesse]

TD, I've been wracking my brain for days now, and I still have no idea what you're referring to in this crazy vague question - - HELP!!!

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Okay. What did the last orc have? That should make it a little easier.

[mithrand1r]

Okay. What did the last orc have? That should make it a little easier.

A book named after him. "Last of the Uruk'Hai". ;)

A fight against Eomer, to the death.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Not what I'm looking for, sorry.

[Lotesse]

TD, aarrggh this question torments me! What did the last Orc have, I don't know... a headache, a problem with authority, a question, a burning ambition, a lack of moral structure, a low I.Q., a secret, a death wish, a handicap, a bad haircut...

[Earniel]

Ah. An iron collar. At least, according to Gimli...

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Correct Eärniel. Your go.

[Earniel]

How many Ents came out of the forest that had grown overnight near Helm's Deep when Gandalf and company passed it on their way to Isengard?

[Lotesse]

Three Ents, who they were I don't know.

[Earniel]

Three was all I needed to know. your turn, Spring. :)

[Lotesse]

So...

The white star-shaped flowers which cover the mounds of the dead - what two names are they known as?

[Lotesse]

*bump* - Nobody knows?

[Earniel]

I think they're all on holiday, luv.

*searches memory*

Simbelmynë, but I can't remember the other one, something with 'ever' innit, I think.

[Lotesse]

That's right, Earniel, now all you got to do is remember the last four letters of "ever", then you got it. Thanx 4 playing! :)

[Earniel]

*has flash of inspiration*

Evermind?

[Lotesse]

Yes, yes! Now it's your go.

[Lotesse]

Earniel, it's all yours!

[Lotesse]

HelLO, Earniel, gonna post a question?

[Earniel]

Darn, forgot about it. :o Don't have the books here right now, so you can take over if you want to.

[Lotesse]

O.K., thanx Earniel.

Name 2 Entwives/Entmaidens.

[Tree Dweller]

*Fimbrethil

crap, don't know another :(

[Lotesse]

Well, you've got one! Keep trying, Tree Dweller - with a name like that, surely you'll remember the Entwives' names!

[Tree Dweller]

I am not sure if I am allowed to look for the answer, but I did, and I couldn't find it. :o

Maybe I am blind. :p

[Lotesse]

Well, here's a hint: Treebeard mentions them by name to Pippin & Merry, during one of their conversations together.

[Lotesse]

The question, again, is:

Name 2 entwives/entmaidens.

Tree Dweller got one of them so far.

[Tree Dweller]

I hate to say it, but ....

I give up! :p

[Lotesse]

Don't ever give up!! The answer is within the Treebeard chapter.

[Radagast The Brown]

Wandlimb? I think it's another for Fimbrethil though..

[Lotesse]

Yes, Rad, that's the answer I was looking for. It's all yours!

[Radagast The Brown]

From wikipedia :D- "In J.R.R. Tolkien's fictional Middle-earth, Fimbrethil is Treebeard's long-lost wife. The pair were beloved since before even Morgoth first arose in power during the youth of the world. Translated, her name meant "Wandlimb"." :)

Where was Gollum convinced to come with Frodo, after Frodo said - "Precious will be angry. I shall take Precious, and I shall say: make him swallow the bones and choke. Never taste fish again. Come, Precious is waiting!"

[Lotesse]

Through the trees, up the stream - out of the forbidden pool of Henneth Annun.

[Radagast The Brown]

Yup.... Your turn Lotesse.

[Lotesse]

Ah! I got it right! Wasn't sure... Thanx, Rad!

What climbed from the lowest dungeon to the highest peak?

[durinsbane2244]

Gandalf in Moria while fighting the Balrog?

[Lotesse]

Not the answer I'm looking for durinsbane2244, but you're in the ballpark.

[flupke]

Gandalf the grey :confused:

[flupke]

or the balrog :)

[Lotesse]

You have to read the question, you guys. "What" is not a person.

[flupke]

A balrog then :confused:, or maybe A wizard

[Lotesse]

No, man, READ the QUEStion...

[flupke]

Stairs:D

[durinsbane2244]

(must act quickly to get it right)

[flupke]

A winding stairs MADE OF STONE:D I want that one

[durinsbane2244]

A WINDING STAIR MADE OF STONE THAT WAS IN MORIA AND CLIMBED FROM THE LOWEST DUNGEON TO THE HIGHEST PEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (pant pant)

[Lotesse]

:D LOL Yes, durinsbane2244, you got it! It's all yours! Actually, it's a toss-up between you & flupke; flupke actually got the "stairs" part right first, then... oh, either one of you can take the next question. Fight amongst yourselves. ;)

[flupke]

Damn, is there still time to add something :evil:

[Lotesse]

Well, either you (flupke) or durinsbane2244 can post the next question; it just depends on which one of you does it first. :evil:

[durinsbane2244]

ok then, what poem does gollum finish from the his past in this book?(no title)

[flupke]

poem:
the cold hard lands
they bites our hands
they gnaws our feet
the rocks and stones
are like old bones
all bare of meat
but stream and pool
is wet and cool
so nice for feet
and now we wish___

[flupke]

Or was it that riddle?

[durinsbane2244]

i consider it both a poem and a riddle, as it ryhmes and could be a poem even if he didnt use it as a riddle, so your go!

[flupke]

What does Gollum reply when Sam says: "You stink,and master stinks; the whole place stinks"?

[Lotesse]

- to catch a fish,
so juicy SWEEEET!

(the poem part)

[flupke]

The last part was not mentioned in the book:)

[durinsbane2244]

uh, hm, well, and, cough, sneeze, hack, gasp, snort, burp, and that's me answer!!!!!

[flupke]

no one wants to do the triva with me :(

[rohirrim TR]

"yes and sam stinks but good smeagol doesn't mind"

[flupke]

Yep, I tought it was that, your go. ;)

[Lotesse]

[Lotesse]

[rohirrim TR]

[Lotesse]

Well, some of these questions that get posted are so obscure and/or difficult, that when so-called "easy" ones come up, I'm tempted to believe that there's a catch. Thanx, rohirrim TR!

[rohirrim TR]

What did Samwise do before the evening meal at Henneth Annun, that astonished and amazed Faramir's men?

[rohirrim TR]

[Lotesse]

Yes! That's right, rohirrim TR; it's all yours...

[rohirrim TR]

what meal time ritual do the rangers have?

[Lotesse]

I know this one; it was a question here a couple months back - befor they eat, they all pause for a moment of silence and face west towards Numenor and Elvenhome

[rohirrim TR]

i knew that one was too easy :rolleyes: your question :)

[Lotesse]

Thanx, rohirrim TR!

Who was the Winged Messenger?

[ItalianLegolas]

You have to read the question, you guys. "What" is not a person.

ummm... wind then? I don't know...

[Lotesse]

Wow, that was a long time ago. I wanted the answer "a winding stair", that's what "what" was - does that answer your question, ItalianLegolas? :)

[ItalianLegolas]

Wow, that was a long time ago. I wanted the answer "a winding stair", that's what "what" was - does that answer your question, ItalianLegolas? :)

Oh wow, somehow I went to a page that wasn't uptodate... oops.

In answer to your question... Is it the Fell Beasts?

[Lotesse]

Well, close enough - it was A fell beast, a nazgul. It's all yours, ItalianLegolas!

[ItalianLegolas]

Well, close enough - it was A fell beast, a nazgul. It's all yours, ItalianLegolas!

[Lotesse]

Yep. You're up, rohirrim tr! (thanx 4 the compliment :) )

[rohirrim TR]

where were they camped in the book when pippin "borrowed" the palantir?

[Lotesse]

How funny - or ironic, anyway; I put this same question up like about a month ago. I'll let someone else take it...

[Lotesse]

Gotta be either Gandalf or Aragorn so I'll go with Aragorn. In the scene where the Rohirrim order them to disarm before going into Meduseld, right?

[mithrand1r]

Gotta be either Gandalf or Aragorn so I'll go with Aragorn. In the scene where the Rohirrim order them to disarm before going into Meduseld, right?

[Curubethion]

Ok...Here goes.
Who does the book say was "hewn" at the battle of Helm's Deep?

[rohirrim TR]

[Curubethion]

That's right (I know, it was really, really easy). Your turn. :D

[rohirrim TR]

thanks for an easy one :D i need those from time to time :)

what was the name of faramir's ranger outpost?

[Curubethion]

Window on the West, right? (thanks for the easy one :D )

[rohirrim TR]

[Curubethion]

Henneth Annun?

[rohirrim TR]

thats the one :)

[Curubethion]

Who calls out to Gollum, "Do you want to be the hero or the villain?" (not exact quote :) )

[Lotesse]

Look, if you're going to post a trivia question, it needs to be an exact quote.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Is it Sam?

[Curubethion]

Correct! Your turn!

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Lotesse you have it. I currently Two Towerless. If no question has been asked in two days I'll try and get hold of my book.

[Lotesse]

O.K., thanx TD -

When Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas & Gandalf first entered the Golden Hall, Aragorn noticed a wall-hanging depicting what Rohirran man?

[Rosie Gamgee]

Eeeemmmm.... *stretches brain* Oh, it was the fellow who fell off his horse, wasn't it? Um, Eorl? was it?

[Lotesse]

Yes! You got it, Rosie; it's all yours! :)

[Rosie Gamgee]

Whew! *wipes brow* Thanks!

Okay, question... what caused Sam to loose conciousness in the tunnel near Shelob's lair? (this is post-frodo-being-dead)

[Lotesse]

Was it the smell, the stink of how gross it was in there?

[Rosie Gamgee]

Nope. :) (Although that almost worked)

[Curubethion]

He bashed his head on the orc door (like the rocket scientist he is...) :p . Sorry, Sam!

[Rosie Gamgee]

Yeppers. Me poor Sam went and knocked himself out. ;)

[Curubethion]

Who were "Mahur and his lads"?

[Lotesse]

Do you mean "Mauhur?"

[Curubethion]

I think it's Mahur.

[Lotesse]

Then I don't know. :p

[Curubethion]

Sorry...it's Mauhur. :o

[Lotesse]

Mauhur and his lads were Orcs who were in Fangorn forest near where Pippin and Merry were being held by Grishnak and his cronies. He worked for Saruman, he and his "lads" were deployed there by Saruman to reinforce Grishnak et al, but it didn't work because the Rohirrim slaughtered them all.

[Spock]

Lotesse: Please post the next question. It's been four days and C doesn't respond to PM's. I want to keep things moving. Thanks.

[Lotesse]

Absolutely! :)

The pipeweed that Pippin & Merry found at Isengard, what year ("vintage?")was it dated?

[Curubethion]

Really sorry...I don't get online that much...just about once every week. Next time I'll put the answer in spoiler tags. Sorry! :o

[Lotesse]

The new question:




The pipeweed that Pippin & Merry found at Isengard, what year ("vintage?")was it dated?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Lotesse's post isn't showing.

EDIT: There we go.

[Spock]

1417

[Lotesse]

Yes, Spock, it's all yours... :)

[Spock]

To whom were Merry & Pippin brought for a walk?

[Rconsole]

was it quickbeam?

[Spock]

Yep, you go. :)

[Rconsole]

alright...

While taking the Palantir from Gandalf what did Pippin replace it it with?

[Lotesse]

A large stone, which he wrapped up in the cloth that was originally wrapping up the palantir.

[Rconsole]

Well done :)

[Lotesse]

The little spot in Ithilien where Smeagol, Sam and Frodo stopped to take a break was sheilded from the east by what mountain, and protected from the north by what other mountain?

[rohirrim TR]

Ephel Duath and Emyn Muil

[Lotesse]

C'est vrai! Correct; it's all yours, rohirrim TR. :)

[rohirrim TR]

what kind of knife did Legolas have?

[Lotesse]

A butter knife? :p no. Um, a "long knife?" Elven made, no doubt?

[Spock]

A knife made by the Keebler Elves? :D

[Lotesse]

A curvy knife? A medium-length knife?

[rohirrim TR]

what creativity entmooters have... still no correct answer... oh well *drinks root beer* :D

[Pip]

I believe Legolas had a silver hafted knife?

[rohirrim TR]

pip,..you have it, :D :D

[Pip]

Kewl, uh, what problem did Aragorn have when entering the Golden Hall (sorry, that's kinda worded wierd but I can't figure how else to say it)

[rohirrim TR]

he had an attachment complex to anduril ,and airport security(aka, hama) didn't like that.and you thought yours was worded weird, i am a weird wording master (as well as a sith lord)

[Pip]

Lol, yup, that's it Your turn :)

[rohirrim TR]

how far did the three runners go by the time they reached eomer?

[Spock]

just to the corner, where he was selling snow cones :D

[rohirrim TR]

the book not the movie :D :D

[Pip]

Uh for some reason the number 3000 leagues keeps coming to my mind. I don't think it's right but I figure it's worth a shot.

[Spock]

Four Days Running?

[Radagast The Brown]

45 leagues?

[rohirrim TR]

yup :) RTB's turn :)

[Radagast The Brown]

How many days did the Entmoot last? (as in, how much time it took the ents to get to a decision.)

[Spock]

40 days and 40 nights....oh, wait, that's not right :(

[rohirrim TR]

2 days?

[Radagast The Brown]

Heh... neither. :)

[rohirrim TR]

a day and a half?

[Tree Dweller]

For some reason 4 pops in my head, but I could be way off.

We all know how the human brain works sometimes! :p

[Radagast The Brown]

Still.. no.. but you're close. :)

[Lotesse]

The Ent Moot lasted for three days.

[Radagast The Brown]

Yup.. your turn.

[Lotesse]

Who calleds Saruman a tree-killer?

[Rconsole]

Treebeard?

[Lotesse]

No - :)

[rohirrim TR]

treebeard

[Curubethion]

Quickbeam...?
Is it an ent?

[Lotesse]

Curubethion, you are right - Quickbeam it was. :)

[Lotesse]

Hi, Curubethion - it's your turn! :)

[Curubethion]

All right...what was the last word in TTT? No looking up the answer-that would be too easy!

[Lotesse]

Enemy. And yes, I looked it up. What idiot-savant Rain-Man would have the enitire contents of The Two Towers memorised, word for word, to be able to recall one word taken from the end? :rolleyes: Wanna post a new question, Curubethion?

[Curubethion]

:D I thought that the last paragraph of TTT was pretty memorable...if you knew what the end of TTT was, then you would remember what happened...and then you should be able to remember the last sentence: "Frodo was alive but in the hands of the enemy."
Okay, I'll post a new question: In what chapter is the phrase "will-o-the-wisp" used?

[Lotesse]

The Passage of the Marshes?

[Curubethion]

Correct! Your go!

[Lotesse]

Who was it that used to say, "Where there's life, there's hope, and need of vittles?"

[Curubethion]

I think I know who would have said that...I'll let someone else try first.

[Lotesse]

Why not you? :)

[Curubethion]

This is the Entmoot, ergo "Don't be hasty!" :D Is it Sam?

[Lotesse]

You can be as hasty as you wanna be, within 90 second restrictions of course! And you don't need to shield your answer, you big silly goose! :D No, wasn't Sam...

[Rconsole]

The Gaffer?

[Curubethion]

You can be as hasty as you wanna be, within 90 second restrictions of course! And you don't need to shield your answer, you big silly goose! :D No, wasn't Sam...
I just wanted someone else to have a turn...that's why I used spoiler tags...
( :mad: Why can't we abolish the 90 second rule for Trivia threads???? :mad: )

[Spock]

Who was it that used to say, "Where there's life, there's hope, and need of vittles?"


Lotesse :D

[Curubethion]

I think Spock's right. :D (Sorry Lotesse :D )
