odd item out - Page 5 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-13-2003, 05:05 PM

Anglachel, as it was forged by an Elf, Eol, whereas Angrist, Narsil and Helm of Hador were all forged by a Dwarf, Telchar.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-13-2003, 06:58 PM

Bingo! I was looking for Telchar... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Please carry on!

When is a 'poker' mentioned in the books? I don't know what it is (being Dutch), or do you mean the cardgame???

lathspell

Durelin · 04-16-2003, 02:23 PM

Uhhhh...I'll guess but...????

Rope because it was the only thing the elves made.
or
A beer-barrel because it is the only thing Biblo would keep in his cellar? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

?????

Good one Saucepan Man! Very good! *applauds*

It's a long metal thingy that you poke logs onto a fire with.

No, the other items all have something in common that the rope does not ...

elven maiden Earwen · 04-16-2003, 09:11 PM

rope wasnt in the hobbit

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-16-2003, 09:41 PM

*with the air of someone presenting great wisdom* A rope has no metal parts...

*shakes head* you're too tricksy for me, O Saucepan Man...

Rumil · 04-16-2003, 09:51 PM

Rope's the only one that Uncle Andy made - obvious !!

Estanesse · 04-18-2003, 05:16 PM

All are mentioned as an item in Bilbo his hole except the rope

[ April 18, 2003: Message edited by: Estanesse ]

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-22-2003, 08:53 PM

You are correct, Estanesse. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

All of the items listed except the rope are mentioned in the first chapter of the Hobbit as items kept by Bilbo in his nice warm Hobbit-hole.

Estanesse · 04-23-2003, 08:36 AM

Thank you.

golden belt
blue hat
spade
silver tassel
silver belt

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-23-2003, 05:43 PM

Well Thorin Oakenshield had a blue hood and a silver tassel. Perhaps he had a silver belt to match. And I'm guessing he may at some point have carried a spade.

So, is it the golden belt as being the only item that Thorin never wore or carried?

Estanesse · 04-24-2003, 09:10 AM

No thats not the answer

Eruanna · 04-25-2003, 01:11 PM

Is it the blue hat?
That was worn by Gandalf, all the rest were worn or carried by the Dwarves when they visited Bilbo.

lathspell · 04-25-2003, 01:45 PM

A spade wasn't worn by any member of the Fellowship.

Estanesse · 04-26-2003, 02:46 AM

Eruanna that’s is the right answer and the right motivation [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] ,
Please carry on,

Eruanna · 04-26-2003, 05:22 PM

Thank you [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Try these:

Bow
Flour
Honey
Arrow
Water
Nuts
Dried fruit

[ April 28, 2003: Message edited by: Eruanna ]

Estanesse · 04-28-2003, 04:54 PM

All are named as items used or eaten by hobbits except strangely [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] enough flour

Eruanna · 04-29-2003, 04:47 AM

No, that's not it....although you are on the right track. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Estanesse · 05-05-2003, 03:23 PM

A clue would help I think, Eruanna [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Eruanna · 05-05-2003, 04:29 PM

You were on the right track Estanesse, you had the wrong item though. Think Hobbit, think journey. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Estanesse · 05-06-2003, 03:33 AM

Is the answer water. Bow, Arrow, Nuts, Dried fruit, Honey and even Flour are a gift from Beor

[ May 06, 2003: Message edited by: Estanesse ]

Eruanna · 05-06-2003, 02:49 PM

Yes that's it. Beor gave the other items to Bilbo and the dwarves. Water he said, they could find on their way.

Well done [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Please carry on [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Estanesse · 05-12-2003, 10:42 AM

A sheath
A belt of gold
A silver belt
A bow
A box
A golden hair
A phial

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-12-2003, 05:28 PM

Is it the silver belt? They are all gifts of Galadriel to the Fellowship. But there was only one of each except the silver belt, of which there were two: one each for Merry and Pippin.

Eruanna · 05-12-2003, 05:43 PM

Galadriel gave Gimli three golden hairs.

Oh....is it the hair? All of the other items were gifts chosen by Galadriel to give to the Fellowship, Gimli was the only one asked to choose his gift....the hair [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Estanesse · 05-12-2003, 05:57 PM

Nope and no [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-12-2003, 08:39 PM

The contents of the box were intended to be shared? The other gifts were more one-man gifts.

Sophia

Estanesse · 05-13-2003, 05:14 AM

that's not the answer I'm looking for

lathspell · 05-15-2003, 03:07 AM

The Phial? It's the only thing Galadriel made herself.

Estanesse · 05-15-2003, 07:33 AM

No phial is not the correct answer

Eruanna · 05-15-2003, 05:03 PM

Is it the belt of gold?

All of the others were still in use/around at the end of the story. Boromir's belt passed with him down to the sea.

Estanesse · 05-17-2003, 05:54 AM

You are correct, Eruanna [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

All the items are at the end of the story in Minas Tirith except Boromir’s belt of gold

Eruanna · 05-17-2003, 04:54 PM

Well, that was a complete guess. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Try these:

Sword
Scabbard
Waistcoat
Hooded cloak
Walking stick

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-17-2003, 07:04 PM

Bilbo took all of them except I believe the waistcoat, to Rivendell after the birthday party. The waistcoat he took off and put away.
