Odd Battle Out - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Well, i really like O_O's, and this seems like a good one. So, welcome to Odd Battle Out! The rules are as any other Odd _ Out! I give several battles, and you have the task of finding which one stands out from the crowd! When you give the correct answer, you get to give the next set! Here's an example:

Battle of Pelenor Fields
Battle of the Peak
Battle of Helms Deep
Battle of Bywater

The correct answer (althought an answer can be right, it has to be the one the person asking the question was thinking of) would be the Battle of Bywater because Gandalf was not present. Any questions? Good! Let's get started! The first set is....

Battle of Helms Deep
Battle of Pelenor Fields
Fall of Gondolin
Battle of Azanulbizar
Dagor Bragollach

Have fun!

Battle of Azanulbizar- the only one in which Men didn't fight?

The Perky Ent · 05-31-2004, 07:05 AM

Nope!

The battle of helm's deep was the only one to not have a king die in it?

Battle of pelennor fields, Theoden dies.
Fall of Gondolin King Turgon dies.
Battle of Azanulzibar, Nain dies. (Or Azog the Goblin)
and during the Dagor Bragollach, Fingolfin rode to face Morgoth in combat, and died?

nope! try again

Is it the Dagor Bragollach because it is the only one when a strong hold of the Enemy is beseiged - in the others it is the Free peoples who are beseiged by the forces of Darkness?
