Dwarf Jeopardy - Page 5 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Fingolfin II · 06-07-2004, 05:11 AM

3 points your way!

Firefoot · 06-07-2004, 05:14 AM

2 points: why are Dwarf men and women almost impossible to tell apart?

Bombadil · 06-07-2004, 07:48 AM

I bid 2 points and say because they have beards

NightKnight · 06-07-2004, 08:40 AM

2 points: The women both look and sound like men.

***Gandalf*** · 06-07-2004, 10:15 AM

I'll bid 2 points and say because they look and sound like the men and they have beards!

Firefoot · 06-07-2004, 12:02 PM

I'm going to give it to NightKnight because saying they look alike would imply that they have beards.

The Perky Ent · 06-07-2004, 12:50 PM

Points Tallied

NightKnight · 06-08-2004, 12:58 AM

Thank you.

For 3 points: What did Fram send to the dwarves after killing Scatha?

Evisse the Blue · 06-08-2004, 01:46 AM

His teeth (the dragon's, not Fram's)

NightKnight · 06-08-2004, 12:54 PM

Yes. It's a funny thought, seeing the dwarves getting Fram's teeth.

The Perky Ent · 06-08-2004, 03:44 PM

1 point for Evisse!

Evisse the Blue · 06-09-2004, 01:12 AM

Oh darn it! I forgot to bet.

Oh well. Let this be a lesson to you all...

For 2 points: What is the dwarves' battle cry and what does it mean?

Fingolfin II · 06-09-2004, 02:41 AM

I'll bet two points and say "Khazad! Khazad! Khazad ai-menu!" meaning "Dwarves! Dwarves! The Dwarves are upon you!"- this is from the Appendix.

Or do you mean the one from Gimli's shout at Helm's Deep- "Baruk Khazad! Khazad Ai-menu!" ("Axes of the Dwarves! The Dwarves are upon you!")?

Evisse the Blue · 06-09-2004, 03:44 AM

Correct! It's the second one that I had in mind (and that is in the appendix also). Carry on!

Fingolfin II · 06-09-2004, 05:15 AM

For 1 point: What is the name of Balin's father?

Sorry for such an easy question- I can't think of a harder one at the moment

.

Firefoot · 06-09-2004, 05:39 AM

I'll take the points I can get...

I bid 1 point: Fundin.

Fingolfin II · 06-11-2004, 01:50 AM

Yep

. Barely needed to confirm it, did I?

Firefoot · 06-11-2004, 12:00 PM

Not really.

2 points: Why did Aulë make the Dwarves?

Kath · 06-11-2004, 01:49 PM

Because he was impatient and didn't want to have to wait.
Oh yes, bidding 1 point because I'm guessing here.

Firefoot · 06-11-2004, 02:46 PM

That'll do.

Kath · 06-11-2004, 03:05 PM

Woohoo!
OK an easy one cos I'm out of time:
For two points
How long was the journey of the dwarves to the Lonely Mountain?

The Perky Ent · 06-12-2004, 07:23 PM

Fingolfin II - 2
Firefoot - 1
Kath - 1

I'll add those to the score!

The Perky Ent · 06-22-2004, 06:22 PM

10 day rule!

I've been counting down the days. Anyways, for 1 point, what was the name of the dwarf present at the Battle of Pelennor Fields?

Bombadil · 06-22-2004, 06:23 PM

I bid one point and say Gimli!

The Perky Ent · 06-22-2004, 06:25 PM

Correct

Your turn!

Bombadil · 06-22-2004, 06:34 PM

For two Points:

What Elven race did the Dwarves interact with, and learn form the most?

Firefoot · 06-22-2004, 06:38 PM

I'll bid 2 points: the Noldor?

The Perky Ent · 06-22-2004, 06:39 PM

For 2 points, Noldor?

EDIT: D'oh! Stupid Firefoot :')

Bombadil · 06-22-2004, 06:50 PM

Oh hey dol! Looks like Firefoot beat you to it! You're up!

Firefoot · 06-23-2004, 06:56 PM

Just who are you calling stupid? Are you trying to pick a fight with me?

Thanks, Bombadil.

2 points: what did the Dwarves call Gandalf?

The Perky Ent · 06-23-2004, 07:07 PM

I'll say Tharkûn, Staff man, and I bid 2 points!

Firefoot · 06-28-2004, 05:56 AM

Correct!

The Perky Ent · 06-28-2004, 04:17 PM

Yay! 2 more points for me! Anyways, for 1 point, what is another name for Erebor?

NightKnight · 06-28-2004, 04:33 PM

1 point: The Lonely Mountain, of course!

The Perky Ent · 06-28-2004, 08:05 PM

of course

NightKnight · 06-28-2004, 08:16 PM

For 2 points: How many dwarves did it take to carry Bombur at the time of the Council of Elrond?

The Perky Ent · 06-28-2004, 08:19 PM

For 2, I'll say 6!

The Perky Ent · 07-10-2004, 09:52 AM

NightKnight? You need to answer this so we can get on with the next month.

NightKnight · 07-14-2004, 06:54 AM

I'm really sorry, but I've been away and unable to access BD. But you're right.

The Perky Ent · 07-14-2004, 08:47 PM

Right! 2 more points for me! That means...the June 04 winner is...

~*~ THE PERKY ENT ~*~

The current standings are

Quote:

Hall of champions

Quote:

April 04 - Firefoot
May 04 - Firefoot
June 04 - The Perky Ent

So much for Firefoot's winning streak. Anyways, here's the first question for July, which I feel will be a short month. Anyways, I like doing questions like this:

For 1 point: John R. (can't spell his middle name) Davies send who to get a tattoo in his place?
