I think it was called both in The Hobbit.

Lindolirian · 05-07-2002, 06:36 PM

ok you got it anyways. Go for it!

Elenya · 05-09-2002, 03:47 PM

Well, Nev is coming, I hope!

Nevfeniel · 05-09-2002, 09:09 PM

Oh, I'm sorry! I forgot about this completely!
Which dwarf lent Bilbo his spare cloak and hood?

Joy · 05-11-2002, 12:04 AM

Wasn't it Dwalin?

Daniel Telcontar · 05-11-2002, 02:52 PM

You are correct; Dwalin did indeed promise to lend Bilbo some spare clothes. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Elenya · 05-17-2002, 05:04 PM

What happened to Gollum's "friend" Deagol?

Lindolirian · 05-17-2002, 06:44 PM

Smeagol (Gollum) murdered him for the Ring.

Elenya · 05-20-2002, 07:41 PM

Yes, your turn, Lindo!

Lindolirian · 05-20-2002, 07:42 PM

How old did Dain Ironfoot live to be?

Elenya · 05-22-2002, 03:31 PM

256, I think?

Lindolirian · 05-22-2002, 06:19 PM

At Rivendell Gloin told Frodo that he had passed his 250th year and he died 4 or 5 months after Gloin told this to Frodo..... gee i guess i should have looked it up rather thatn just assuming 250. Could you tell me where you found this?

Elenya · 05-23-2002, 03:14 PM

My dad has this kind of old book called The Tolkien Companion, by J.E.A. Tyler, published by Picador in 1977 (It's one of my biggest pet peeves when people don't give enough information for me to find what I'm looking for). It's like an encyclopaedia for Tolkien. Not everythings in there, though, but it's a really useful little thing!!

Elenya · 05-26-2002, 02:43 PM

What were Radagast the Brown's "special skills"?

Lindolirian · 05-26-2002, 05:08 PM

umm i think he could change the shapes and colors of things. not to mention talking to all his animal friends.

Elenya · 05-27-2002, 12:55 PM

Very good!! Your turn!!

Lindolirian · 05-27-2002, 06:09 PM

What was the name of the founder of the Hobbit's Leaf?

Joy · 05-28-2002, 01:58 AM

Old Toby (Tobold Hornblower) was the cultivator of westermansweed or pipe-weed.

Lindolirian · 05-28-2002, 05:15 PM

of course....

Elenya · 05-29-2002, 04:07 PM

Hey Lindo, did you find the book yet?

Joy · 05-29-2002, 11:32 PM

How old was Aragorn when he became King?

Elenya · 05-30-2002, 03:44 PM

49?

Joy · 05-30-2002, 07:34 PM

Sorry, 49 is not the answer. Try again.

Lindolirian · 05-30-2002, 07:56 PM

88

Joy · 05-30-2002, 10:42 PM

Very good!

Elenya · 06-01-2002, 12:40 PM

Yeesh, I didn't know he was that old!

Lindolirian · 06-04-2002, 04:40 PM

How many years did Barliman's beer have a taste of "surpassing exellence"?

Elenya · 06-04-2002, 05:21 PM

Lindo, do ya think you could rephrase the question?

Nevfeniel · 06-04-2002, 05:26 PM

I think it was 7 years?

Lindolirian · 06-04-2002, 05:27 PM

hmm but that would only make it TOO easy. This is "Slightly Easier Trivia" not "Really Easy Trivia".

Lindolirian · 06-04-2002, 05:28 PM

aha Nevfenial posted while i was writing and is CORRECT!!

Nevfeniel · 06-04-2002, 05:30 PM

Yay! Go me!
Okay, question. Ummmm. . . How did Gollum escape the elves of Mirkwood?

Lindolirian · 06-04-2002, 05:33 PM

They let him climb trees to feel the breeze and one day a horde of Orcs (that Gollum did not know or ask to free him) attacked his guards but i believe he escaped from both the elves and orcs, came to moria, got lost, and picked up the trail of the Fellowship at the West Gate.

Nevfeniel · 06-04-2002, 05:39 PM

Correct!

Lindolirian · 06-04-2002, 05:43 PM

o boy me again...
What was the name of the dwarf who helped Bilbo Baggins up a tree to escape from thw wolves?

Mat_Heathertoes · 06-05-2002, 06:35 AM

That would've been Dori, because he was quite a decent fellow.

Lindolirian · 06-05-2002, 03:47 PM

yay 4 heathertoes

Mat_Heathertoes · 06-06-2002, 09:32 AM

How long was the High Hay?

Elenya · 06-06-2002, 03:08 PM

It was nearly twenty miles long!

Elenya · 06-10-2002, 03:33 PM

I'm pretty sure I was right, so here it goes!

What did Elwing the White bind to Earendil's helmet?
