ROTK Trivia

Brego.:cool:

[Cirdan]

no. It was Flicka

[Maegondowen]

Actually, you're both wrong...

[Spock]

Roheryn, :confused:

[Cirdan]

trigger
:D

[Maegondowen]

Correct, Spock! :D

[Spock]

Where did Bilbo record his adventures and in what form. Yes a two parter. ;)

[Aromen]

In his book "There And Back Again"?

[Spock]

..nope...:(

[Radagast The Brown]

What do you mean, 'in what form'? Didn't he write them in a book? :confused:

[Spock]

I try to be specific and others can get away with it but I always get called on it. So read, comprehend and reply; I've tried to redefine the question. I is tricksy precious.:D

[Radagast The Brown]

Isn't it the Red Book? :confused:

[Spock]

a) That's part of the correct name for the answer to part two

b) now you only need to answer, correctly, part one.

The Red Book of Westmarch?
What form... a book? Notes? I'm not sure what you mean. Unless you mean a diary.

Nurvingiel, you've got the answer to part two 100% correct. Truly one of our most savy participants.

Now that you know the form, think of the definition for the first part and you'll have your total answer.

[Radagast The Brown]

Well... he record them in Rivendell, didn't he? And during his journey, too, I guess... if that what you wanted? :confused:

[Spock]

Well finally, RTB, I'd almost given up hope.
Actually Radagast The Brown gets credit for a)=where
and Nurvingiel gets credit for b)=in what format.

you guys decide who posts the next question....personally I'd vote for Nurvingiel as that answer was more tricksy, prescious.

] Well, I did say 'The Red Book'. I obviously thought you'd refer its form 'book', so... unless you mean about the 'diary'. But I wouldn't call it a form... (Yeah, I know, excuses...;))

[Spock]

NO YOU DIDN'T

The Red Book of Westmarch.......IS THE CORRECT answer not merely the red book.

fess up, you were not totally correct.:p

[Cirdan]

It wasn't the redbook of Westmarch where he wrote it. The book of Westmarch contained the writings of Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam. The Red book of Westmarch was compiled after Bilbo sailed.

Red Book of Westmarch

In origin the diary and commentaries of Bilbo Baggins, with additions by his heir

THIS ACCORDING TO THE ENCLYCLOPEDIA OF ARDA..and the books written by JRRT are the final say.

...The first definite mention of the Red Book is in the Prologue to The Lord of the Rings, which states that Bilbo took it with him when he left the Shire in III 3001. It was in a very unfinished state at this point; the important Translations from the Elvish would not be added until after Bilbo's arrival at Rivendell. Nevertheless, it must have predated Bilbo's departure by some time, and may even date back to his journey to Erebor sixty years before.
ok that's it. N & RTB have the go for the next question

[Radagast The Brown]

Huh! ;)

I agree, the Red Book of Westmarch is with the adds of Frodo and Sam.

Ok... How was Pippin called by 'the folk' (in Gondor) after he wore the uniform of the gear of the Tower?

[Spock]

A prince of the Halflings.

[Cirdan]

You mean Bilbo didn't pop into a shop a say, "I'd like to buy a Red Book of Westmarch to write in."?:p It's like the "when does life begin?" debate. The fetus becomes Bob but was it Bob when the zygote formed? Speaking past tense one would refer to Bob's zygote, but at the time it was not Bob.

I actually first thought the question was geographical in nature. "Where" instead of "in what" or "on what" is somewhat ambiguous.

[Spock]

The Miriam Webster Dictionary defines

Where=Function: adverb
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English hw[AE]r; akin to Old High German hwAr where, Old English hwA who -- more at WHO
1 a : at, in, or to what place <where is the house> <where are we going> b : at, in,

YOU GUYS can't stand it that I was right in using the terminology I did. Specificity defines trivia. Enough already.:evil:

NOT A ZYGOTE:p :mad: :rolleyes: :cool:

[Radagast The Brown]

Spock:
...Further information will also be found in the selection from the Red Book of Westmarch that has already been published, underthe title of The Hobbit. That story was derived from the earlier chapter of the Red Book...
From the Prologue. So there. :p

You're correct about my question, by the way, although I did want what they said, nor the meaning of what they said...

[Cirdan]

He had a diary that was later named red book of westmarch. The question remains is was that what he called it while he was writing in it. We all know it was eventually called that after it was completed. Nowhere does Bilbo refer to it as "The Red Book of Westmarch". He does talk about having papers that needed going through and completing. If you have quotes from JRRT about the date it was named that would be different. It's copyright date in Shire Reckoning would be good, too. :p:D

Didn't like the zygote analogy, eh? How about unfinished, as yet unamed work in progress later known as "The Red Book of Westmarch"?:cool:

Thanks Spock, what's zeesin btw?

It's your turn to ask a question.

[Spock]

ZEESIN is "sweet", used as a Pesach greeting

[Spock]

a bondsman of Steward Denethor II and a Thain by tails end is better known as.......?

[Rosie Gamgee]

Peregrin Took!
(or, maybe, a fool?)

[Spock]

Rosie, how nice to hear from you. Yes you got it in one. See, there are some very bright people on this board. :D :D :D
Your go.;)

[Radagast The Brown]

How do the rohirrim call the statues on the road to Dunharrow? (yeah it's not my turn but...)

[Cirdan]

pukel men

[Radagast The Brown]

Correct Cirdan.

[Spock]

Well, I'm disappointed in you RTB and C for not waiting a bit. Rosie should have posted and I did send her a PM asking why. Baring her not replying it would be my call per past practices on the board. ....:confused: :p :(

[Radagast The Brown]

I didn't think she would come soon, she didn't post it in 9 days... maybe I was hasty. :p

Ghan Buri Ghan "...and Widfara is my name"

Your turn, Mr. Spock

[Spock]

ok, Pirates of the Caribbean is a current popular movie. Gondor had to deal with pirates also. What were they called (and where were they from).

[Radagast The Brown]

of Umbar?

[Twista]

Were they the Corsair ships? and they were from the costs to the South - east?

[Cirdan]

yes, The Corsairs of Umbar:)

[Spock]

RTB, once again you only got half the answer.

T. you got more than half the answer and so I award you the right to continue with the next question



...The Corsairs of Umbar... is the correct answer

CIR- your posting of 1:56 would have qualified but it didn't come up on my browser until just this minute. So technically YOU are the one with the entire, complete and accurate answer.

hmmm, now whose going to post first.

[Cirdan]

Okay, another quote; identify the speaker:

"Oft hope is born, when all is forlorn"

[Rosie Gamgee]

To whom it may concern:

I am fine. I apologize, I forgot I had even posted in this thread. Sorry.

Ohhhhh.... taking a wild stab at that question:

Faramir?

[Spock]

Gimli to Legolas. He was throwing it back in his face as they climbed through the snow on the mountain and found a cave.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

Aragorn says it to Eomer,
or t'other way around,
when the corsairs (with the grey company)
land at the pelennor fields

[Cirdan]

Sorry. It's been crazy. I think LCotU is right but anyone should go at this point.:o

[Spock]

Men of Old (is what I was looking for) they were,
The Exiles of Númenor

[Valandil]

(from memory - wording may not be exact)

Like what did the riders of Rohan look, beside the northern rangers of Halbarad's company?

[Bombadillo]

Like the badasses muthas to ever cross the Ered Nimrais since the Second Age, yo.

Uh... we got a 'negatory' on that one. Care to try again? ;)

[Radagast The Brown]

What about a hint, Val?

[Count Comfect]

Tired and beaten up?

[Beren3000]

Like children?

[Valandil]

Whew... I'd forgotten this was mine! 'Beren3000' is close enough. IIRC, it's 'like boys'

Your turn Beren3000! :)

[Beren3000]

What's the Elvish name for the Chambers of fire through which Sauron could look at Mount Doom?

[Radagast The Brown]

Samath Naur.

[Beren3000]

You're right!:mad: (I should make these questions harder)
Anyway your turn

[Radagast The Brown]

Heh - don't be angry, it wasn't that easy. :p

Who, it is said, was the Mouth of Sauron?

[Cirdan]

[Cirdan]

Sorry... Someone go; I'm somewhat disengaged...

[Radagast The Brown]

How many chapters of the book "There and back again, the Fall of the Lord of the Rings and the Return of the King" did Bilbo and Frodo write? (without the ending of Sam)

[Elanor the Fair]

79?? Chapter 80 was finished by Sam.

[Radagast The Brown]

Yes. :)

[Elanor the Fair]

Thanks, Radagast. That was a good question. Well, here's the next one....

What are the names of the eagles who helped Gandalf rescue Sam and Frodo from Mt Doom?

I know it's easy, but I love their names!! :)

[Radagast The Brown]

It should be Gwaihir and his brother Landroval.

[Elanor the Fair]

Originally posted by Radagast The Brown

Hi again, Radagast,

You are two-thirds correct, however, that is not the complete answer!! :D

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

and Meneldor

[Elanor the Fair]

Originally posted by Last Child of Ungoliant
and Meneldor

That's correct, Last Child of Ungoliant,

There were three eagles - Gwaihir, Landroval and Meneldor.

Your turn......:)

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

According to the Shirrifs at Frogmorton,
what was Frodo to be arrested for?

(6 Items)

[Spock]

1. gate breaking
2. tearing up of rules
3. assaulting gate-keepers
4. trespassing
5. sleeping in shire buildings w/o leave
6. bribing guards with food

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

yes, away ye go, spock!

[Spock]

What location is in "the haunted land" according to Butterbar?

[LutraMage]

Fornost Erain, Norbury of the Kings. (Referred to by Barliman as "Deadmen's Dike").

[Spock]

Yikes, that's way much more than I asked but HEY, you're right.

Your go.!:o :D

[LutraMage]

Sorry everyone, got called away from home and couldn't get to the website.

Question: When did Pippin admit to himself "Well, well, now at any rate I understand poor Denethor a little better."?

[Erkenbrand Of Rohan]

He says that when he is standing beside Beregond, watching the enemy move towards them outside the Black Gate, just after Gandalf's parlay with the Mouth of Sauron.

[LutraMage]

Spot on Erkenbrand, over to you.

[Erkenbrand Of Rohan]

How many men were said to pass through the Gate of Minas Tirith from Lossarnach with Forlong the Fat to aid the defense of the City?

[Radagast The Brown]

5000?

[Erkenbrand Of Rohan]

Nope, that's not correct.

Remember, as Bergil and Pippin watched the men enter the Gate, there were mutterings from the people around them; they were hoping for a lot more than had come.

[Radagast The Brown]

Oh - I was confused, thought you mean when the army went to the Black Gate and some Gondorians that were in Pelargir went to Minas Tirith to keep it safe;

Ok. What about 500 then?

[Erkenbrand Of Rohan]

Close, but not quite.

[Radagast The Brown]

400?

[Erkenbrand Of Rohan]

Getting there. Not quite yet, but getting closer.

[Spock]

..."when the men of Lossanarch had passed they muttered: "so few! Two Hundreds, what are they? We hoped for ten times the number.

[Erkenbrand Of Rohan]

That's correct. Well done, your go.

[Spock]

Ah, I made it. One quick easy question as I'm packing to leave tomorrow.

How many levels was Minas Tirith built in?

[Radagast The Brown]

7?

[Spock]

RTB-yes, take it away!

I'm off now until the 27th. Keep the forum going :D

[Radagast The Brown]

Ok. :) Good luck in your moving! Hope to see you soon.

Anyway: What is, probably, the origin of Saruman's name in the Shire: Sharkey(sp.)?

[Spock]

No, no, no. We're moved in. This is a trip to see Mickey Mouse!

Gee and I know the answer to the question but it isn't fair to post it as I'm really signing off now. Hold the fort.;)

[Radagast The Brown]

No, Walt Disney World, Florida. Now I got to go to sleep 'cause we've got to get up at 0245hrs to make our flight.

[Elanor the Fair]

Ok. :) Good luck in your moving! Hope to see you soon.

Anyway: What is, probably, the origin of Saruman's name in the Shire: Sharkey(sp.)?

Probably Orkish in origin - sharku: 'old man'

[Radagast The Brown]

Correct.

[Elanor the Fair]

Thanks Radagast,

When the Dunedain rode with Aragorn to Dunharrow, they each wore something in common. What was it? (I'm not talking about their shirts and pants!! :D)

[Valandil]

Each wore a grey cloak, fastened with a brooch in the form of a silver rayed star. :)

[Elanor the Fair]

Well done, Valandil, it's your turn. :)

[Valandil]

Whoopsie!

For what things was the year 1420, SR, famous?

(there are at least five... give me three or more) :)

[ethuiliel]

hobbit children with blonde hair, good wine, good harvest

[Valandil]

Correct ethuliel! :)

[ethuiliel]

What did the destruction of the ring/Mordor remind Faramir of... and how did he know enough about that to be reminded of it?

I know it's confusing, but it's hard to word it any other way.

[Earniel]

What did the destruction of the ring/Mordor remind Faramir of... and how did he know enough about that to be reminded of it?
For the first part of the question: the sinking of Númenor? No clue for the second part.

[ethuiliel]

Right so far, but how did he... er... let's say... experience the sinking of Númenor?

[Halbarad of the Dunedain]

Did he see it in his dreams while he was unconcious with the poison arrow wound!?

[ethuiliel]

Not exactly.

[Pytt]

maybe his father denthor or another wise man had told him about it?

[ethuiliel]

nope, Halbarad of the Dunedain was pretty close.

[Halbarad of the Dunedain]

Faramir saw it in the Palantiri somehow!?
or if i may guess twice in one post...
He saw it in another dream similar to the "Prophecy" Dream of the one ring being found!?

[ethuiliel]

Your last guess is close enough...

‘It reminds me of Númenor,’ said Faramir, and wondered to hear himself speak.
‘Of Númenor?’ said Éowyn.
‘Yes,’ said Faramir, ‘of the land of Westernesse that foundered, and of the great dark wave climbing over green lands and above the hills, and coming on, darkness inescapable. I often dream of it.’ Not exactly a prophecy like the other dream, but close enough.

[Halbarad of the Dunedain]

Well then if I am correct then my next question will be...

When was this quote said, and who said it; "When the black breath blows, and death's shadow grows..."?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

By Aragorn in the Houses of Healing when telling Ioreth of athelas.

[Radagast The Brown]

I think you can ask a question Telcontar, as about 20 days passed. :eek:

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

After the destruction of the Ring who was the first person to speak.

[Spock]

After the destruction of the Ring who was the first person to speak.

"Well this is the end, Sam Gamgee"...said Frodo

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Yep. Your go.

[Spock]

ok, who said and to whom..."there are countless things still to see in Middle Earth"?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Frodo or Gandalf to Sam?

[Spock]

Oh come now, you can't say "one and none at all" like Bilbo said. Pick your answer. :)

[Radagast The Brown]

Gandalf to Sam?

[Spock]

Gandalf to Sam?
Ah, no and no. I'm offline for the day so do work on this and I'll check back tomorrow.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Frodo to Sam.

[Spock]

Frodo to Sam.


NOPE!

[ethuiliel]

Bilbo to Frodo?

[Halbarad of the Dunedain]

Legolas to Gimli, hate to make two guesses in one post but; Gimli to Legolas!?

*Edit: Oh yeah and woo hoo! I broke 100 posts!*

[Spock]

[QUOTE=Halbarad of the Dunedain]Legolas to Gimli, hate to make two guesses in one post but; Gimli to Legolas!?

Well, we don't normally permit two guesses, but HEY, you're right on the second guess. Indeed it was Gimli to Legolas.

YOUR GO :)

[Radagast The Brown]

Alright, since it doesn't seem like Halabarad is going to post a question soon (or ever ;)):

Where did Legolas first saw seagulls?

[ethuiliel]

In Lebennin (sp?)

[Halbarad of the Dunedain]

Sorry bout that, Legolas saw seagulls for the first time in Pelegrir, when fighting the Corsairs with Aragorn, Gimli, the dead, and the dunedain.

[Radagast The Brown]

Correct, Halbarad. :)

[Halbarad of the Dunedain]

I have finally returned to the Return of the King trivia thread and I bring a question with me! Heh:

What was the name of Frodo's Pony that he kept in sevice after traveling the road from Minas tirith after the War of the Ring?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Strider

[Halbarad of the Dunedain]

If my question is to be proved extreamly simple, I am glad at least that it is a Dunedain that foils me! you are correct Telcontar!

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

How many men and hobbits of Bree had been killed by the Ruffians?

[Spock]

How many men and hobbits of Bree had been killed by the Ruffians?


Well some and all. The first confrontation left the leader of the Ruffians dead with four arrows in him. Then at The Battle of Bywater 1419" , nearly 70 Ruffians and 19 Hobbits were slain.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

That wasn't the question. How many hobbits and men of Bree had been killed by the Ruffians.

[Spock]

I do believe we're related lol .

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Anything is possible!

[Valandil]

Anything is possible!

TD... you a Vulcan too? :confused:

:p ;)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Nope

[Rosie Gamgee]

two and three, I think. Two hobbits, three Men? Killed! Killed dead!

[Spock]

I've racked my brain and tried to look but cannot find it mentioned. Whoa is me. :(

[Rosie Gamgee]

It's in Homeward Bound, or whatever the chapter is (I was just reading it, go figure), and Barliman is telling Gandalf what's been going on in Bree since the hobbits left with 'that Strider'.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

That is the answer.

[Halbarad of the Dunedain]

so then is it Rosie's turn?

[Spock]

Technically since it's been so long, anyone can now post a new question. After all we're looking at 3 weeks on this one. :(

[Radagast The Brown]

What did Merry say about Theoden funeral?

[Spock]

"This is a tunnel leading to a tomb; there we shall stay forever". ?????

[Radagast The Brown]

I mean in the question.... what he said about Theoden in his funeral.

[Spock]

.."theoden King, Theoden King! Farewell! As a father you were to me, for a little while. Farewell!"

[Radagast The Brown]

Correct. Your turn Spock.

[Spock]

What are the six major locations they settled in?

[Spock]

Hey! Sleepy Heads. Four Days And No One Knows.....that's Good For Me :D

[barrelrider110]

What are the six major locations they settled in?
Who are "they?"

[Spock]

Who are "they?"


Duh? Just look at the post and the title heading...........jeepers. :(

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Hobbiton, Michel Dlving, Tuckburough. Just three but it's a working progress.

[Spock]

Hobbiton, Michel Dlving, Tuckburough. Just three but it's a working progress.


actually all six are mentioned in the same paragraph....you only have two so far according to the book.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Frogmorton?

[Spock]

Frogmorton?

nope

[barrelrider110]

Duh? Just look at the post and the title heading...........jeepers. :(

I'm so ashamed! :o

[barrelrider110]

Hobbiton
Longbottom
Sarn Ford
Woody End
Waymeet
Lockholes (Michel Delving)

[Spock]

Hobbiton
Longbottom
Sarn Ford
Woody End
Waymeet
Lockholes (Michel Delving)


Abso lutely friggin correct! You didn't let me down.

Now I'm off for the day so you can find a question. :)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Did you look that up?

[barrelrider110]

I did; it took me a while to find it.

[barrelrider110]

What do the wild men (of Ghân-buri-Ghân) call the orcs?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

gorgûn

[barrelrider110]

gorgûn
Well done! :)

Now, ask us a question!

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

What do the Rohirrim call Minas Tirith?

[Earniel]

Mundburg?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Thats right. Your up Earnil.

[Earniel]

Thats right. Your up Earnil.
It seems the Gondorean general is unable to reply so I'l ask a question ;) :

Who did the pouch of pipeweed, that Saruman decided to keep, belong to?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Merry

[Earniel]

correct, your turn.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Before the final ride to Minas Tirith what did Elfhelm mistake Merry for?

[Radagast The Brown]

He fell on him.. and thought he's a root?

[ethuiliel]

either that or a bag

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

RtB takes. It was Merry who said he wasn't a bag.

[Radagast The Brown]

When did Gandalf wake Pippin up after their first night in Minas Tirith?

[Spock]

At supper?

[Radagast The Brown]

No.. Isn't supper in the evening?

[Spock]

Gee Hobbits eat six times a day and more if they can get it. I think they call the evening meal, dinner.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Was it 6am?

[Rosie Gamgee]

I thought for some reason it was two hours past the rising of the sun....? That part is cute:

Pip: Why did you bring me here?

Grumpy Gandy: You know why. And if you want to complain you can do very well to remember you brought this on yourself.

Or something like that. :p

[Radagast The Brown]

You're right Rosie (hopw you won't forget this time ;)).

Spock... I asked when did he wake him up, not when they ate.. ?? :confused:

[Spock]

...oh, I've been so hungry all day it must have affected my choice of solution......:D

[Rosie Gamgee]

I did not forget!!!!!- although I may be a little late. Uh- think, question! Okay, here goes:

What did Merry say of Theoden after he (Theoden) entered Isengard?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

That was in TTT. This is RotK Trivia ;)

[Rosie Gamgee]

:o oops

Um, yeah! I knew that. Just testing y'all.yeah right
On what day (looking for exact date, here) did Faramir call Merry in to tell him of Eowyn?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Just an educated guess here. April 29th?

[Rosie Gamgee]

Whoa! No- earlier than that.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

:o Got April and March mixed up. March 29th?

[Rosie Gamgee]

Nope. Still earlier.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

I'm working off memory here. 24th March?

[Rosie Gamgee]

Memory? or just random guessing :p ? No. :D

[Spock]

:o oops

Gee, Chapter 5 says, .."when the Captains were two days gone", this conversation took place. When he asked of Eowyn of the Warden he was told he'd learn more from him, and then Merry was sent to him. No date is mentioned.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

I thought it took them three days to get to the Black Gate. :confused: and they got there the day the Ring was destroyed, the 25th March. Thats adds up to March 25th. Or maybe I have my facts wrong :eek:

[Spock]

..or it could have been the 12th of Never. :D

[barrelrider110]

March 20, TA 3019 :)

[Rosie Gamgee]

Go barrelrider!!! You got it. (sorry so late in the telling)

[barrelrider110]

Go barrelrider!!! You got it. (sorry so late in the telling)
Think nothing of it, lovely hobbit lass.

Thank you. A Good thing it is I can count on my fingers! :D

I've been scratching my noodle for a challenging question and I think have one -- we'll see. Good luck. :)

The great horn of Boromir was the hunting horn of this Steward of Gondor, who may have fashioned it from an antler from one of the wild bovine of Oromë.

[Rosie Gamgee]

Mardil? Blindly guessing here.

[barrelrider110]

Mardil? Blindly guessing here.

Nope, earlier than Mardil. I said it wouldn't be easy. :)

[Rosie Gamgee]

Yeah, yeah. ;) So he wasn't a Ruling Steward? How about Vorondil? He's only one earlier than Mardil, though.

[barrelrider110]

Yeah, yeah. ;) So he wasn't a Ruling Steward? How about Vorondil? He's only one earlier than Mardil, though.

Vorondil is correct, Rosie. Ask away. :)

[Rosie Gamgee]

It was said that Boromir, son of Denethor, took the errand to find Imladris upon himself. Once, however, it was told otherwise. Who 'told otherwise'? (Hope you can get what I'm talking about there.)

[ethuiliel]

Faramir? do I have to say when?

[Count Comfect]

Denethor?

[Rosie Gamgee]

Ethuiliel's got it.

[ethuiliel]

Okay, a follow-up to Rosie's question. When did Faramir "tell otherwise," and how?

[Rosie Gamgee]

Will it be cheating if I answer? *grins evilly*

Faramir made the statement under restraint, in Minas Tirith when his father said that he wished Faramir and Boromir's places had been exchanged- essentially that Faramir had died in stead of Boromir. "May I ask you to remember why is was that I, not Boromir, was in Ithilien? It was the Lord of the City who gave the errand to him." "Stir not the bitterness in the cup I have mixed for myself...." and so on. I love that part. Such feeling.

[ethuiliel]

well you might call it cheating, but oh well... your turn.

i love that part too.... and not only because it has Faramir in it.

[Rosie Gamgee]

I know what you mean. Um, let me see- my turn, right?

Allegorically speaking, Gimli chose the evening. What did Eomer choose?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

The morning!

[Rosie Gamgee]

Your go, TD! (Isn't that part in the book great? Eomer asking "Should I send for my sword?"- I love that part!)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

What was the Bree pipe-weed called?

[Spock]

Longbottom leaf?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Nope.

[Radagast The Brown]

Hornblower?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Nope. I'm looking for the pipe weed that they grew in Bree and had in the Prancing POny at the time of Gandalf and the hobbit's return. :)

[barrelrider110]

What was the Bree pipe-weed called?

Southlinch

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Correct!

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Its been 6 days so anyone want to ask?

[Spock]

OK, "Where was the Black Stone located?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Erech.
