Ooops, sorry Gilraën. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
I put the question in rather hastily and should have checked properly. You are right on both counts! Scores: Alaklondewen 1 Elven Maiden Earwen 2 Firondoiel 4 Beren87 1 Gilraën 1 As there is only one question to go and no one can pass her score, I declare Firondoiel the winner!!
