Right, Elrian. Your turn now. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Elrian · 02-11-2002, 12:14 AM

What part of the Old Forest does Merry say is the queerest part of the whole wood?

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-11-2002, 12:24 AM

The Withywindle River valley

Elrian · 02-11-2002, 01:21 AM

Right again, your turn. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-11-2002, 02:37 AM

Where was Flòi buried?

Elrian · 02-11-2002, 08:29 AM

Near the Mirrormere.

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-11-2002, 03:59 PM

Yes, Elrian.

Elrian · 02-11-2002, 06:54 PM

In what direction did the gates of Caras Galadan face?

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-11-2002, 07:46 PM

South-west

Elrian · 02-11-2002, 11:12 PM

Raefindel · 02-12-2002, 12:01 AM

How about this... Who is the father of twins?

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-12-2002, 12:03 AM

Where did the wood for Earendil's ship come from?

Scapegoat · 02-12-2002, 02:22 AM

Nimbrethil, according to Bilbo's song.

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-12-2002, 02:26 AM

And since Bilbo's song is the only place you will find the tale of Earendil in Fellowship of the Ring, you are most correct! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Your turn, Scapegoat.

Joy · 02-13-2002, 01:35 AM

The answer to this is Elrond - His sons are Elrohir and Elladan, their sister was Arwen

Sorry, just noticed one unanswered, so I went for it.

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-14-2002, 12:01 AM

Scapegoat?
It's your turn...

Scapegoat · 02-14-2002, 12:29 AM

Describe one occasion in FotR that Gandalf definitely did not have his staff in his hand.

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-14-2002, 12:44 AM

When he drove a firework-laden cart through Bywater and Hobbiton up to Bag End before the Party, he would have needed both hands to drive the cart. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Raefindel · 02-14-2002, 07:17 PM

So sorry! didn't mean to go out of turn. It won't happen again. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Scapegoat · 02-14-2002, 11:11 PM

Sorry Bruce. My grandfather drove a horsecart, and he lost his arm in a sawmill when he was nine. Although I agree it is highly probable that Gandalf had laid aside his staff while in that situation, I'm looking for a time when it states positively that he had put it down. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Joy · 02-14-2002, 11:34 PM

I don't know if this counts or not, but when Gandald was fighting the Balrog, it states that he smote the bridge and it cracked at the balrogs feet and the staff was broken and fell from his hand. - FotR "The Bridge of Kazad-dum"

Watcher in the Water · 02-14-2002, 11:44 PM

Did gandalf not set his staff down when he meets Aragorn Legolas and Gimli on 'Fangorns Hill'?

Scapegoat · 02-15-2002, 12:05 AM

Joy is correct. It does state at the bridge his staff fell from his hand. As far as the meeting with Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli, that occurs in the Two Towers, not in FotR.

Your turn Joy. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

PS: there is at least one other occasion that Gandalf puts down his staff in FotR, if anyone cares to look. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Could you tell me if it is before Rivendell or after? I would like to find both instances before I ask a question.

Just gives me more time to find one. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

and what circumstances was it in?

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-16-2002, 04:17 PM

Boromir to Frodo in Lorien. Boromir had doubts about Galadriel...

Joy · 02-16-2002, 04:32 PM

Very good, Androndo.

Your turn.

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-17-2002, 09:01 AM

Ok,
What kind of trees were beyond Stock-brook?

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-17-2002, 09:23 AM

Oak

dernhelm · 02-21-2002, 01:46 PM

Mostly oaks with a few elm and ash trees.

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-21-2002, 02:11 PM

Oak is correct Bruce (nice pic btw...)

I have been off the net the last few days - sorry the long time :-/

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-21-2002, 02:29 PM

Extremely easy question here - but I can't think of anything off the top of my head at the moment.
What was being gnawed on by a troll?
(I'm looking for a very specific answer)

Mat_Heathertoes · 02-21-2002, 04:42 PM

a bare old bone ..

done by! gum by!

Vilya Elathelas of Rivendell · 02-21-2002, 05:49 PM

the shin bone of Tom's nuncle Tim, stolen from his grave.

"For it looks liek the shin o' my nuncle Tim,
And it should be a-lyin' in a graveyard!"

PS-sorry if it's a double post...my computer is EVIL!!!

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-21-2002, 10:56 PM

Correct. Your turn, Vilya.
