One Thing in Common - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

**The Saucepan Man** · 08-27-2003, 04:44 PM

This is a continuation of One Thing in Common, the previous thread having been closed as a result of its length.

The rules, originally posted by Lostgaeriel, are as follows:

Quote:

In this game, you must identify the one thing in common for the persons (or things or places) in the list. Of course, there may be more than one thing in common and the quizzer may not have thought of all of them. Quizzer's discretion as to whether alternate answer will be accepted.

Lindolirian correctly answered the last question on the previous thread, and so it is his turn to ask the next.

Lindolirian · 08-31-2003, 04:17 PM

Pippin
Hurin Thalion
Tharkun

Lindolirian · 09-07-2003, 07:20 PM

This isn't that hard... or is the hardest part scrolling down and looking at old topics? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Estanesse · 09-08-2003, 02:54 PM

Is it Hurin Thalion. Hurin is the only one who killed a dwarf [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lindolirian · 09-08-2003, 02:59 PM

Well that's true, but this in One Thing in Common, not Odd Man Out. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Turambar · 09-08-2003, 03:08 PM

Troll slayers.

**The Saucepan Man** · 09-08-2003, 05:55 PM

Is it that they were all taken captive?

Pippin was captured, along with Merry, by Saruman's Uruk-Hai.
Hurin Thalion was captured by Morgoth's forces and taken to Angbad.
Tharkun was taken captive by Saruman and held at Orthanc.

Lindolirian · 09-08-2003, 08:59 PM

Saucepan Man fell for the trick! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] That was the answer that was to lead you away from the real one that Turambar gave. They all killed trolls. Proceed Master of Doom!

[img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Turambar · 09-09-2003, 01:28 PM

Túrin
Beren
Lúthien
Finrod

FingolfintheBold · 10-03-2003, 03:19 PM

They all fought evil creatures of Morgoth ( dragon, wolf, were-wolf)

Turambar · 10-03-2003, 04:08 PM

Nope.

Telchar · 10-04-2003, 02:00 AM

They all went to Menegroth?

Telchar · 10-04-2003, 02:01 AM

... or they were all held captive at one point?

Turambar · 10-04-2003, 06:23 AM

I posted this so long ago that I'm not even sure I'm remembering the answer correctly. But if I am, a hint for Túrin would be: Beleg.

Gwaihir the Windlord · 10-11-2003, 04:19 AM

They all underwent long journeys.

Turambar · 10-11-2003, 06:27 AM

No. The hints for Beren and Luthien would be . . . each other.

Gil-Galad · 10-11-2003, 11:01 AM

They all had great compansinship that woudl be the death of each other?

Turambar · 10-12-2003, 07:12 AM

HINT: Lennon-McCartney. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Gil-Galad · 10-12-2003, 08:10 AM

all of them had enemies that wanted too kill them?

NightKnight · 10-23-2003, 05:26 AM

Someone they loved died because of them?

Regarding the previous one, when did Hurin kill a troll? And Tharkun is Gandalf, right?

Telchar · 10-23-2003, 06:06 AM

I guess this is what you're looking for....

Quote:

Last of all Húrin stood alone. Then he cast aside his shield, and wielded an axe two-handed; and it is sung that the axe smoked in the black blood of the troll-guard of Gothmog until it withered

And Tharkun/Gandalf had some dealings with some three trolls in The Hobbit ;o)

Turambar · 10-23-2003, 06:42 AM

I think I'll give my answer in an attempt to revive this thread.

They were all song writers. Each of Beren and Lúthien wrote a song about the other; Túrin wrote a song for Beleg, and Finrod wrote a song for the first men, as well as the song of power against sauron.

Telchar · 10-23-2003, 07:04 AM

It was actually a good question Turambar and we should have solved it [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] - wont you ask another ... to revive the thread as you say.

Turambar · 10-23-2003, 10:54 AM

OK but only if you help me with the Password. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks Telchar, it sure was. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Turambar · 10-24-2003, 12:35 PM

Fingolfin
Morgoth
Fingon
Ungoliant

Telchar · 10-24-2003, 04:43 PM

They all passed the helkaraxe?

Gil-Galad · 10-24-2003, 05:24 PM

They all were betrayed some how

Turambar · 10-25-2003, 06:14 AM

Telchar got it. Geez I thought that would be harder.

Telchar · 10-25-2003, 01:16 PM

OK Thanks Turambar, was actually my wife that guessed it [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] - it took her er full 20 seconds - lol - Enjoy this one

Luthien
Celebrain
Maeglin
Tuor
Arwen

NightKnight · 10-26-2003, 04:11 AM

Maeglin, for being the only one not to marry someone of another race?

Telchar · 10-26-2003, 06:37 AM

This is one thin in common, and secondly as a hint - race has nothing to do with it. Some might find it easy, but I think this one is in the tougher department [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Gil-Galad · 10-29-2003, 06:30 PM

They all made a great journey too lands they have never seen, or through dangerous lands?

Telchar · 10-30-2003, 01:31 AM

Nope - it has nothing to do with anything they did [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Estanesse · 10-31-2003, 08:44 AM

They were all, in one way or an other, protected by someone

Luthien – Huan
Celebrain – Her sons
Maeglin – Eöl
Tuor - Ulmo
Arwen – Her father

Telchar · 10-31-2003, 08:49 AM

nope - far off! THIS has to do with family [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Gil-Galad · 10-31-2003, 09:55 AM

There parent(s) were greatly honured among elves and men?

[ October 31, 2003: Message edited by: Gil-Galad ]

Telchar · 10-31-2003, 06:25 PM

Nope - hint: look at family trees....

Estanesse · 11-03-2003, 11:31 AM

They are one big happy family

Maeglin is the son of Eöl who is a kin of Thingol.
Luthien is the daughter of Thingol.
Tuor is Earendil’s father who is married to the granddaughter of Luthien.
Celebrain is married to the Great-grandson of Luthien.
Arwen is Earendil’s granddaughter.
