ROTK Trivia

[Indril Anarion]

(Continued here (http://entmoot.tolkientrail.com/showthread.php?t=12465))

Okay, since their hasn't been a trivia on ROTK yet, I'll start one...

Q: After everything had been returned to normal in the Shire, what how was Bag End known in Bywater? (jokingly of course)

A:?????

[Firekitten2006]

Sharkey's End?

[Indril Anarion]

Yes, you got it! Your go!

[Firekitten2006]

yeah! Ok lemme think...this is gonna be an easy one.

What year was Elanor born, and what trait were the hobbit children born in this year known for?

[Indril Anarion]

A:1421, and they were known for their golden, curly hair?

[Firekitten2006]

yup! :)

[Lalaith]

I'm waiting for a new question (god, I hate my impatience)

[Indril Anarion]

Sorry for taking so long, I completely forgot that it was my turn. Okay...

Q: Whay was the name of the orc that first saw Sam's shadow and thought that he was a warrior elf?

[Spock]

Shagrat said "...there's a great fighter about, one of those bloody-handed Elves,......."

[Indril Anarion]

He did say that, but he was not the first to see Sam "The Great Elf Warrior"

[Spock]

OK then, Snaga, to whom Shagrat was speaking

[Indril Anarion]

Snaga is the correct answer! Your go, Spock!

[Spock]

An easy respite: Who did Merry ride into battle with in Rohan.

[Sween]

techincally Merry never rode in battle in Rohan he traveled with Dernhelm to the plenora so its either her if thats what u ment to ask otherwise ur very clever and it treebeard

[Spock]

Well points awarded all round. However, ROTH, chapter "The ride of the Rohirrim' has Merry riding behind Dernhelm and that's what I meant to say...........good on you for getting it. Your go now.

[Sween]

who finds the kingfoil for Aragorn?

[Lizra]

Bergil brings the "old" Kingsfoil to Aragorn. I'm not sure who picked it!

[Indril Anarion]

Here's a shot in the dark...was it Gandalf that picked it? This can totally be a wrong answer...

[Sween]

no Lizra got it right it was Bregil

[Lizra]

Thanky Sween!

Who lay dying on Pelennor Feilds on the 15th of March?

[Sween]

[Lalaith]

Theoden

[Lizra]

Yes...:( Sob..:(

Your question Lalaith

Sween, you got me you nit picker! You know what I meant though... :) or Lalaith did! :o

[Lalaith]

When was the wedding of Aragorn and Arwen?

[Radagast The Brown]

[Lalaith]

Could you specify that day?

[Radagast The Brown]

Do you want the exact hour too? :mad: July 1st?

[Lalaith]

Originally posted by Radagast The Brown

Not the exact hour ... but this day has a very special title and In the Center Day of the Year (or something close to that). is not the title.

[Radagast The Brown]

Tell the translator. I guess July 1st is not right?

[Lalaith]

Originally posted by Radagast The Brown

Okay, that could be a problem. (the translator)
As I have the english version .... I know the english version
But okay the center of the year was right. it is called Mid-Year's Day

[Lizra]

Center day....mid-year day...Perfect! :)

[Lalaith]

Radagast, it's your turn to ask a question.

[Radagast The Brown]

Hah! Told you I'm close. :p

What was the name of the hobbit that Merry recognized in the first gate in the shire?

[Spock]

Bill Ferney

[Indril Anarion]

Hob Hayward?

[Spock]

******[/FONT] ****Hob Hayward****

...just trying to wake the powers that be, Indril, you got it first.;)

[Spock]

************Hob Hayward****** ****Hob Hayward****

[Indril Anarion]

Yes, and I know I'm right! Radagast the Brown just hasn't been around to say so ;) ...therefore, I will take the liberty of asking the next question...

Q: Where was Theoden the Renowned buried?

A:???????

[Lalaith]

A: In Edoras ... under the last hill ... where his father and grand-fahter, .... are burried
Sorry, I can't specify it.

[Radagast The Brown]

Yes, and I know I'm right! Radagast the Brown just hasn't been around to say so...
Sorry about that... Hob Hayward is the right answer.

[Indril Anarion]

okay...let me re-phrase the question...Where was Theoden the Renowned first laid to rest?

[Lalaith]

Originally posted by Indril Anarion

Okay, if you put it that way .... I have no clue.

[Firekitten2006]

wasnt it somewhere in Gondor? I think it was like the royal room or something like that.

[Sween]

He would of been laid to rest with the great of Gondor in Rath Dinninun (thats not spelt right i know)

[Spock]

Originally posted by Indril Anarion

After being taken from the field of battle he was laid to rest in the Citadel of Gondor.

[Indril Anarion]

Okay...Spock...your go!

[Spock]

What was the name of the house of Aragorn, in the high tongue?

[olsonm]

Telcontar.

[Radagast The Brown]

Is he right Spock? Where are you...?

[Spock]

Yes he is correct. My rural, tiny, ISP was knocked out by T storms for a day and a half and thus the delay.

Your go olsonm .

[olsonm]

Originally posted by Cirdan

[Radagast The Brown]

Elfhield?

[olsonm]

Originally posted by Radagast The Brown
Elfhield? An extra 'e' but I'll give it to ya!

[Radagast The Brown]

Thank you! I don't have time. I'll ask tomorrow.

[Radagast The Brown]

What was the year of the battle between the orks and the dwarves (Nanduhirion?) near the east gate of Moria?

[Spock]

2799 by the East gate

2994 the dwarf colong destroyed and Balin killed.

Hows that?:D

[afro-elf]

How many assaults were there upon Lorien during the War of the Ring?

[afro-elf]

Whose daughter did Eomer wed?

[Radagast The Brown]

Afro elf? What are oyu doing? :confused:

A: 1. with the one from the orks of Moria?

2. Imrahil?

Spock is right.

[afro-elf]

Yeah, Rad it's me. Its been awhile seen I have posted in the LOTR forums. I just came for a tad bit in the general forums.

1) The answers is 3. Not the trailing of the Fellowship. But full fledged assualts durning the War of the Ring.

2) Imrahil is correct.

[afro-elf]

Speaking of Imrahil, Legolas mentions his Elvish ancestry.

1) can you name the couple of this man elf union?

2) can you name their offspring.

[Cirdan]

A-E you have to take turns. Who ever answers the last question right asks the next question.

[afro-elf]

Duly noted and implemented.

[Radagast The Brown]

A-E you have to take turns. Who ever answers the last question right asks the next question.That's what I meant. Good. Now it's Spock's turn, I guess.

[Spock]

Name Gimli's gift from Lothlórien; be exact.

[TheWhiteRider]

Three strands of Galadriel's(sp) hair.

[afro-elf]

Thanks be to Radagast The Brown all fair and knowledgeable

And Cirdan who clarified it.

[afro-elf]

Also are the rules of order posted anywhere in the thread?

I cruised through but did not see them.

[Cirdan]

You're right. Indril didn't post any rules. We've just been following the same rules as the other trivia threads. I guess it is up to the thread starter now.

[Spock]

White Rider, correct. Your go.

I don't have a question, so someone else can ask.

[afro-elf]

Ok.

I'll repost this one.



Speaking of Imrahil, Legolas mentions his Elvish ancestry.

1) can you name the couple of this man elf union?

2) can you name their offspring.

[Gorthol the Dread Helm]

The people of Nimrodel of the woods of Lorien

[afro-elf]

Close but I am looking for the specific two people Man and Elf and their two offspring.

However, my question may be forfiet because even though Legolas made the statement about Imrahil in ROTK. The answer to my question is not found in the text of ROTK.

Does this violate the rules?

[Lizra]

Yes! The answer needs to be in the book stated. :) Check out the rules at the beginning of FoTR trivia.

[Spock]

Unfortunately it breaks the rules.

Questions and answers have to come from ROTK.

[Gorthol the Dread Helm]

Nimrodel's maiden Mithrellas and Imrazor of Nuemenor are the elven/human connection. I don't remember the children because I don't have my Book of Lost Tales in front of me.

[Spock]

...Well you worked on that for nought. As Lizra, Rhadgast et. al. have stated, the questions and answers MUST be found in ROTK so the question A.E. asked wasn't in conformity with the rules of the game.

[Spock]

Hey there, it's been 48 hrs. do we have a new question?????

[Gorthol the Dread Helm]

Is it my turn, because I haven't been dubbed correct yet?

[Spock]

Yes indeed. Go ahead as you worked so hard to get an answer to a question that was improper. It is now your turn. Remember question and answer must be from ROTK.

Good luck.

[Gorthol the Dread Helm]

Where was the sapling of the white tree (of the line of Nimloth the fair) found by Aragorn?

[Spock]

iN gONDOR, ARAGORN AND GANDALF COULD NOT BE FOUND ONE NIGHT FOR THEY WENT TO MOUNT MINDOLLUIN AND FOLLOWED A PATH UP......THEN ARAGORN TURNED AND THERE SPARANG A SAPLING NO MORE THAN THREE FEET HIGH. IT'S WHITE PETAL SHONE LIKE THE SUNLIT SNOW. AND ARAGORN CRIED: Ye utuvienyes. The eldest of Trees.....then
Gandalf came and said verily this is a sapling of the3 line of Nimloth the fair; and that was a sapling of the
nine of Nimloth the fair

[Gorthol the Dread Helm]

That'd be it. You're go

[Spock]

pippin had a guide to show him around Minus Tirith, in whose mind he went up in stature as he knew the passwords. What was the guides name and who gave pippin the passwords.

It's late and I thought a compound question would be received well.

Sleep well.

[hama1]

That would be Beregond son of Baranor. "I have no duty this morning, and I have been sent to teach you the passwords, and to tell you some of the many things that no doubt you will wish to know".

I am quite certain that I was first to reply only because I was the only poster up even later than anyone else.

[Spock]

[QUOTE]Originally posted by hama1
[B]That would be Beregond son of Baranor. "I have no duty this morning, and I have been sent to teach you the passwords, and to tell you some of the many things that no doubt you will wish to know".

well you are half right. Beregond taught the passwords and they had long speech but you missed the second part. Try again I'm sure you'll get it.

[Radagast The Brown]

Spock, you mean that Beregond was the one who guide him or the one who gave him the passwords?

[Spock]

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Spock

WELL YOU GUYS SEEM TO HAVE TROUBLE WITH COMPOUND QUESTIONS SO I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU.

"in whose mind he went up in stature" was Bergil who went around with Pippin.

OK SO SOMEONE ELSE CAN GO NOW.

[Radagast The Brown]

I did think Bergil is the answer. You just had to explain what you wrote before. You get annoyed too fast. I guess it's hama1's turn now.

[Spock]

..gads you guys are more sensitive than me. I sometimes keep the caps key on so as to keep the eye glasses off!!
Also in this case it was meant as a highlight to catch attention to the fact that you could go with a question.
.......sigh....:rolleyes:

[hama1]

If the issue of Bergil v beregond is still in dispute I defer to spock to ask another question. If however, as others have mentioned above that I should give it a go, well...here goes...

This is one of my favorite quotes from ROTK...

"It needs but one foe to breed a war, not two...and those who have not swords can still die upon them."

Name the character who spoke that line.

[Spock]

Éowyn.

[hama1]

spock wins...

Perhaps it was too easy but...an answer is an answer...

Query us all Spock....

[Spock]

Name the Mayor who wound up in Michel Delving.

[LutraMage]

That would be Will Whitfoot.

[Spock]

.WOW that was fast. Guess we have too much time on our hands this Saturday.

Your go

[LutraMage]

Way too much time, thanks Spock.

Who or what was Stybba?

[Radagast The Brown]

a pony (or small horse) that was given to Merry from Theoden.

[LutraMage]

Spot on Rad, somehow I just knew it would be you who got the answer, and in next to no time.

This is also my 100th Posting - an Elven Warrior at last! God, I'm never going to make it to 500!!!:D :D :D

[Spock]

gadz zooks that's three minutes between question and answer.

think I'll go have some coffee and read a bit, the pace is too fast for me today. :D

[Radagast The Brown]

:p :rolleyes:

name Eomer and Eowyn's parents.

[LutraMage]

Eomund of Eastfold and Theodwyn, Theoden's sister.

[Radagast The Brown]

:p pretty fast. (3 minutes)

Your Right. Ask us a hard question!!

[LutraMage]

Originally posted by Radagast The Brown

Who said "The hasty stroke goes oft astray. We must press our Enemy, and no longer wait upon him for the move." and to whom were they speaking?

Hope that's a little tougher for you Rad:p

[Radagast The Brown]

Yes, it does, actually; :p and I have no time to think or post. My guess is Gandlaf. (I don't know to whom)

[LutraMage]

Nope, not Gandalf.:)

[Spock]

Theoden & Mrs. T:rolleyes:

[lacemkr90]

Was it Aragorn? He was speaking to Gimi and Legolas.

[LutraMage]

Not Theoden and Mrs T, Spock;) but Lacemkr90 you're on the ball. Yep, Aragorn speaking to Gimli and Legolas just after he'd looked into the Stone of Orthanc. Your turn Lacemkr90.

[lacemkr90]

Try this one:
Who told Merry "Pack yourself up, Master Bag."?

[Linaewen]

Aragorn?

[lacemkr90]

It was not Aragorn. Keep trying.

[Spock]

...I know it's late and I'm beat but this sounds like it's from TTT. and either Sauraman or back in the scouring of the Shire.

...I'll check more when I have some sleep.

[lacemkr90]

Nope. Sorry Spock.
It is in RotK, but it is obsure.

[LutraMage]

Marshal Elfhelm of Rohan, after he had tripped over Merry in the dark and mistook him for a tree root or bag. And Lacemkr90 is right Spock, it is in RoTK:p

[lacemkr90]

Quite correct LutraMage. :D
Your turn.

[LutraMage]

Ta Lacemkr90

How about this one, which bridge was broken down by Aragorn and his followers?

[lacemkr90]

The bridge into Morgul Vale, while the army of the west was on the journey to the black gate.

[LutraMage]

Nice one Lacemkr90, over to you.:)

[lacemkr90]

Try this one:
While Frodo and Sam were in Mordor what was the item Sam most regretted leaving behind (and I am not thinking of the Ring)?

[Cirdan]

His pots and pans.

[-elfearz-]

mmm..would that be his cooking gear? :p

edit: cirdan got there first ;)

[lacemkr90]

Yep, it was the
clatter of his precious pan as they fell down into the dark (that) was like a death-knell to his heart
Cirdan since you were first, it is your turn.

[Cirdan]

What is Theoden's minstrel's name?

[-elfearz-]

Gleowine! :p

[Cirdan]

Good, -e-! Your turn.

[-elfearz-]

k..

morimaitesincahonda is a small part of the very long entish name for..what?

[Cirdan]

orcs!

[-elfearz-]

Good, C! Your turn. :p

[Cirdan]

Where is Fen Hollin?

[barrelrider110]

if you mean Fen Hollen, it's in minas tirith-- it's the door to the tomb.

[Cirdan]

Your turn, br.

[barrelrider110]

thank you Cirdan. :)

what was the house of the stewards of gondor called?

[Ararax]

house of hurin

[Spock]

House of Healing.

[barrelrider110]

The House of Húrin is correct. your go ararax.

[Ararax]

who was Banazir Galbasi

[Spock]

Originally posted by Ararax

Didn't he run the ale and chips shop outside of the second wall in Gondor?:cool:

[barrelrider110]

Originally posted by Ararax

lol spock :D

galbasi in the old hobbit language became gamgee, though I don't know the translation or identity of banazir.

[Ararax]

so who was ban gamgee ban is short for banazir

[barrelrider110]

That could be Ham or Sam.

I'll take a guess and go with Sam.

:)

[Ararax]

sam is right its your turn
ran was sams father ham

[barrelrider110]

so ban-sam ham-ran?

never mind. :rolleyes:

thank you ararax.

what was the name of the horse that dernhelm rode?

[Spock]

So you're going to say this information about Sams hobbit name is in ROTK too? I doubt it.

As for the horse Dernhelm rode is was WINDFOLA.

[barrelrider110]

sam's hobbit name is in the appendices. that might be taking the rules a little loosely, but hey it's for fun, right? :)

windfola was the horsie's name. your turn to ask mr spaak

[Radagast The Brown]

Who's asking the question? Ararax? :confused:

[Ararax]

barrelrider got it i told him it was his turn

[Spock]

aCTUALLY since he broke the rules and admitted it, the ans. came from the appendix not the book itself.

So do I go now or what?

[azalea]

For some reason I thought questions from the Appendix were allowed:confused: . Haven't people done that in the past? Or am I thinking of the Rohan trivia thread?

[Radagast The Brown]

I don't know. I remeber many questions from the appendixes. (I even asked few...)

Does that mean we can open an Appendixes Trivia Thread? :rolleyes:

[Spock]

OH NO !! There haven't been many and it was always said they must appear in ROTK. NO appendix questions. Don't change things now. For that matter why not extend to JRRT hand written notes kept by his son in a box in the attic for questions.:mad:

[LutraMage]

So who's turn is it then?:confused:

[Spock]

If it's ok, I'll ask so we can get things moving again.

Who and under what circumstances (see another compound question :D ) said "oft hope is born, when allis forlorn?"

[Ararax]

um spock i read the first post there were no rules about that the question was about a character in the ROTK and didnt belong in any other trivia post, since the appendics come with ROTK and not any other book theres nothign in the rules about it

[azalea]

I have sent a PM to Indril Anarion asking that she as the thread starter come and clarify whether or not she intended for the Appendices to be included here. I think that's the best way to settle it. While the matter is still in dispute, let's go ahead with Spock's question, since it's his turn to go regardless. Proceed.:)

[Spock]

CAN'T FIND MY GLASSES SO CAPS-EXCUSE PLEASE-

IT'S BEEN THE RULE WRITTEN OR UNWRITTEN-YOU DON'T USE THE APPENDEX FOR QUESTIONS. YES ROTK HAS THE APPENDIX FOR ALL THE TRILOGY BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE YOUR ARGUMENT VALID.
AGAIN IF WE'RE CHANGING THE RULES THEN THE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BOOK ITSELF MAKE NO SENSE AND THE ODDS GO DOWN FOR THOSE WHO MAY KNOW THE BOOK AND FAVOR THOSE WHO MEMORIZE MINUTIAE INSTEAD. THERE IS ANOTHER TRIVIA THREAD WHICH PERMITS THIS BUT THIS ONE HASN'T. HOPE THIS HELPS.
OH ONE LAST, 17 PAGES OF QUESTIONS AND OVER 99% HAVE FOLLOWED THE FORMAT USING THE BOOK AS THE SOURCE AND NO FURTHER .i.e. EPENDIXES FOLLOWS FORM FOLLOWS RULES

[Ararax]

*cough*
listen to the mod
quit saying your own opinions let azalea find out as she said

[azalea]

I wasn't really making an argument for or against, I just felt that a fair way to handle it would be to let the thread starter note what her intentions were regarding the matter, if any. If she didn't even think about it, we can decide from there. So far I think people have tended to stick to the story itself, I think most of the people participating are not the "minutiae" (sp?) kind (if you know what I mean), and I don't think the occasonal question from the Appendix will do any harm. However, I also understand that some people that like to participate would feel at a disadvantage if a lot of A questions started popping up (esp. from Appendix E :0 ), so I think not including it is just as valid. Then again, people have asked questions about dates and such in this thread and the others IIRC, so that means each of the three threads could be peppered with A questons.
Do you remember which thread it is that you refer to in your post, Spock, that does allow A questions?

Edit: Oops, sorry, I was writing this when you reposted your question! Yes, let's just get things moving again at this point, and we'll worry about the A thing later.:)

[lacemkr90]

To answer Spock's question.
Oft hope is born, when all is forlorn was said by Legolas to Gimi about the need for wind to sail from Pelargir to Harlond in time to save Minas Tirith. Soon afterwards the wind came up.

[Spock]

Yes, good go. Your turn.

[lacemkr90]

Try this one:
On the paths of the dead Aragron and his company found the “bones of a mighty man�
Who was he and since when (what event) had he been there?

[Cirdan]

It was Baldor and he walked the Paths of the Dead sfter Meduseld was completed.

[lacemkr90]

Correct:D
Wow that was fast, I'll have to think of a harder one next time.
Your turn Cirdan.

[Cirdan]

That was hard enough. I just really like that paticular passage.

Name a character desended from the Black Numenoreans.

[Indril Anarion]

Okay...it's not that I want to be a bother... but I have recently been informed that their is a controversy as to whether or not questions from the Appendices are to be included. The answe is no. This is ROTK Trivia...that means questions from the story...if you wish to askl questions from the Appendices, start a thread titled Appendices Trivia....thank you:)

[Spock]

:) dances in the aisles and tosses confetti in the air.....:D
.........singing.....lemeral alazingin lemeral alazingin, a zemeral
a zemeral......:o

[azalea]

Okay, that answers our question then, folks. Thanks, Indril, for clearing that up.
I'm wondering if it might be fun to start a trivia thread in the ME forum that would be for ALL of the "outer circle" stuff, not just the Appendices. It could include questions about Elvish, stuff from UT, Letters, whatever. That way those that want trivia on the deeper stuff would have a special place for that.

[Spock]

OK THE RULING IS IN, NOW IS THIS QUESTION IN THE ROTK OR IN THE APPENDEX IN WHICH CASE IT IS INVALID, VOID, NO GOOD.

[Cirdan]

An excellent idea! Maybe some rule like a clue about the age or something. It could get pretty obscure since there are several versions and forms of some tales.

[Cirdan]

Originally posted by Spock

Sorry. This IS in RoTK and is a valid question.

[azalea]

I don't remember(re: Black Numenorians), but I just went down to the ME forum and realized that there already exists there a trivia thread like the one I described: it's called "Tolkien/ Middle Earth quiz," and it's currently on page two of that forum. So anyone interested in reviving that, you can ask all the Appendix questions you want -- go for it!:)

Edit: Oh, Cirdan, I just saw your post -- I don't know how that was handled in that thread, but I think hints of that kind are always appreciated!
(BTW, everyone, if the existing thread there doesn't work for some reason, I think it can be worked out with a new thread or something, but I think the one should do just fine).

[lacemkr90]

I think I have it.
Was it the voice of Sauron?

[Spock]

ISILDUR

[Cirdan]

The Mouth of Sauron, it is! Nicely done, Lacemkr90. Your up.

[lacemkr90]

Who said this:
The goings at Isengard should warn us that we are caught in a great net and strategy. This no longer a bickering at the fords, raiding from Ithilien and from Anorien, ambushing and pillaging. This is a great war long plannned, and we are but one piece in it, whatever pride may say.

[Cirdan]

It sounds like it might be... Eomer?

Gandalf-just a hunch

[lacemkr90]

Sorry, it was neither Eomer or Gandalf. This was said by a minor character.

[ringbearer]

Got it! Beregond!:D

[lacemkr90]

Yup!
This common man of Gondor is one of my favorites.
Your turn Ringbearer.

[Spock]

***YOOO HOOOO**** three days have passed Ringbearer....48 hrs. was the normal allowance.....we're all waiting for your question........:D ;)

[Spock]

Well four days, maybe Ringbearer is ill. No disrespect intended, just want to keep this going.

Exactly what did Pippin have to eat while questioned by Denethor?

[Radagast The Brown]

"a slaver with a silver falgon and cups, and white cakes."

Oh, you're close and fast but not correct. That is what the men brought Gandalf and Pippin. Read the question again and I'm sure you'll get the answer Radagast. ;)

[Radagast The Brown]

I have no time... and I thin I'm right. Can't see what's wrong. Probably becuase I have no time.

[LutraMage]

Tricksy, it is, tricksy Spock. I think the answer is that Pippin actually ate nothing, the food was brought to him but he didn't get to eat it.

[Diamond of Long Cleeve]

Pippin later tells Beregond that he had "no more than a cup of wine and a white cake or two". Radagast is close enough, isn't he?

[Radagast The Brown]

LM, I tell you that if I had more time I would've crack it. But since I didn't have time - DoLC got it first. I'm convinced I would've crack it! I think... (I hope!)

[Diamond of Long Cleeve]

Thanks. How far is it from Hobbiton to Tuckborough?

[Spock]

"Fourteen miles or so over the fields."

.....and Diamond of Long Cleeve was spot on with the answer sorry I didn't catch it before Radagast passed out.


........and I believe the poster is entitled to 48 hrs. to reply correct or not........

[Diamond of Long Cleeve]

Well done, Spock. And my apologies for jumping in before you had agreed to the answer. :)

[Spock]

Ok an easy on 'cause I'm watching Cher's farwell tour. That woman drives me nuts.


Name Aragorn's horse.

[Sheeana]

Hasufel. (sp?) Er... I mean, Roheryn? :rolleyes: :o

[Spock]

Well that lasted 4 hours. So much for me getting up at 3am when I should be sleeping.

Your go and isn't your signature from "grumpy old men"?

[Sheeana]

Nah, I'll pass. I'd probably just post one that's already been posted anyways.

Edit: And no. Well, probably, but mines from Bart Simpson.

Well since Sheeana passes here's a new one.

Who said "It's not always a misfortune being overlooked."


Be kind now I was up at 3am. :D

[Diamond of Long Cleeve]

Merry, overlooked by the witch king.

[Spock]

OK. I should have made the reference more obscure. Your go.
:)

[Diamond of Long Cleeve]

Name Duilin of Morthond's brother and the manner of his death.

This is in ROTK and NOT the appendix???? I'm too sleepy to even recognize the guy or the location he's from. Good night for now.

[Diamond of Long Cleeve]

It's in ROTK.

[Spock]

It's Derufin:cool::D :D :D :D :D :rolleyes:

And unfortunately he and his brother were trampled to death when they assailed the mumakil, leading their bowmen close to shoot at the eyes of the monsters. ( attacking Gondor).:(

I don't get the question. PLUS I have never heard of Duilin or Morthond or whatever.

[Spock]

Love your Icon. Even enlarging it I can't read the signature on it. Whose picture is it, fantastic looking woman.

A little bit off topic, but okay.
You have never heard of me before? Unbelieveable?
Okay, I was away for some time. I can forgive you. :D lol
It's Melissa Joan Hart.

[Spock]

:( Sorry nope never heard of you. So the pix is of MJH?:confused:
and as for her Melissa Joan Hart Seite mit sehr vielen Bildern und Desktop Themes des Stars aus
der Fernsehserie Sabrina, total verhext might have been what you said as I still have no clue.

[Spock]

Now my delema is do I wait for Diamond of Long Cleeve
to confirm that or take the "go" from our surpreme all knowing all kindness all exhausted Radagast???:D :confused:

[Radagast The Brown]

You should post a question. But if he gets angry and say you're wrong - it's your responsibility.

sorry.:rolleyes:
:confused: What did you want to say? I'm confused with the German/English mix. sorry.

And Radagast: I thought that it was a river.
But Spock: You forgot to mention the reason for his death.

[Radagast The Brown]

I think I know how he was killed. An Oliphant trampled (on) him.

[Spock]

OK, I'm comfortable with being right about the answer. If any umbrage is taken I do sincerely apologize but I do respect the advise given and so do post this question (that should satisfy the lawyers:D )


Whose scepter does Master Elrond bear.

[Lalaith]

Won't answer until you got a legal yes or no. (PLUS: You didn't answer the second part of the question and you didn't answer my question to you)

But Spock: You forgot to mention the reason for his death. NOTHING AT ALL it was only meant in fun. I've never heard of her nor can I recall you either. The reason is he was trampled, it does say that inmy post, because they got to close to the murmakil while shooting at their eyes.

Hhhhm. I am a celebrity. Okay, no I'm not.
Melissa Joan Hart is the actress from Sabrina the teenage witch.

[Radagast The Brown]

Ok - I give the question, if I'm right, to Spock. (if DLC say I'm right it's Spock's turn)

[Spock]

Whose scepter does Master Elrond bear?

[Lizra]

The sceptre of Annuminas.
(a city built by Elendil on the shore of Lake Nenuial, it was the first capital of Arnor...the senior Dunadan Kingdom of Middle Earth. The descendants of the rulers of Arnor are the Line of Isildur. It was deserted and the court remocved to Fornost, but King Elessar rebuilt it at the beginning of the fourth age. The chief palantir was kept there also)

[Spock]

...sighs....:eek: that was fast....good on you....your go

and I'm off for the night so my stress levels can come down :D :D

[Diamond of Long Cleeve]

Spock is right but in any case I would not get angry. And I'm a woman BTW. Diamond of Long Cleeve married Pippin.

[Lizra]

Who do these words describe?

"Stout men and lordly they are...grim men of face, worn like weathered rocks for the most part...and they are silent"

[lacemkr90]

That sounds like the Dundain.

[Lizra]

Yes....my kind of men! ;)

.....:o Sorry but as it's not in the story but the appendix I didn't recall that. Happy 1427. :D

[lacemkr90]

Speaking of Men....
Who is Hirgon?

[Spock]

Hirgon was the errand rider of Denethor who brought the red arrow to Theoden.

[lacemkr90]

Yup,
Your turn :)

[Spock]

..........I really must stop getting up in the middle of the night.....

where does the skill lay to repair the white cities gates.

[Spock]

ahh a wee bit o a hard one eh? I'm so proud of me self.

keep tryin, it's a paraphrase of a quote

[Cirdan]

Shouldn't the phase in the question be in quotes when you are looking for a quotation instead of a factual response? yes, I know... picky, picky

[Radagast The Brown]

No, no, no.. Spock, I didn't understand what you meant in the question.

[Spock]

.....dances the jig.......waves his arms over his head......

ok you are such sterling characters that I'll go further...why I don't know

"and where now is the skill to rebuild it" referring to the gates

using the quote would have been really obscure so the paraphrase to try and help ..............boy it's hard to be nice.:rolleyes:

[Radagast The Brown]

In Erebor?

[Spock]

to your tired brain I give the full quoted answer and award you 85% and a go for a question

"In Erebor in the Kingdom of Dain there is such skill".

This was my best effort yet and thanks for making it so.;)

[Radagast The Brown]

I found your quote in seconds. Just didn't understand the question...

What did Legolas do when he first met and saw Imrahil?

[Spock]

"he bowed low; for he saw that here indeed was one who had elven-blood in his veins. "hail, lord!" he said. "it is long since the people of Nimrodel left the woodlands of Lorien, and yet still one may see that not all sailed from Amroth's haven west over water."

......phew...!:D
