Bombur was the most exhausted from being pinched and prodded, but Balin seemed the least drowsy since he had enough wits about him to follow Bilbo's plan.

Firefoot · 01-11-2006, 06:06 PM

Lindo - 5
Rune - 3
Tuor - 1

10. Which Dwarf was most often carrying Bilbo around?

An easy one, since Lindo's already won anyway.

Lindolirian · 01-11-2006, 07:37 PM

Good gracious, that Dori must have enjoyed being a pack horse. Or grumbling.

Firefoot · 01-11-2006, 07:55 PM

Haha, yes. And as you are the winner, please proceed with a new topic.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 01-11-2006, 08:10 PM

Of course he wins, the last many question has been asked and answerd in between the times when I was online.

I sence a conspiracy ! ! !

Lindolirian · 01-12-2006, 09:49 AM

No worries Rune, that's the glory of the quizzes: there's always another chance.

The next topic is Elves, but this is gonna be pretty broad. Not just about single Elves, but anything that has to do with them and their culture.

1. What do Elves typically give one another at their betrothal?

Firefoot · 01-12-2006, 11:29 AM

Sorry, Rune, I tried to post questions when no one (or more than one person) was online to make it fair.

I know I've heard this before and I think I know where to find it, but unfortunately that would not be a book that I own... So a guess: rings?

Lindolirian · 01-12-2006, 11:41 AM

More specific?

Firefoot · 01-12-2006, 12:05 PM

Um... I think I remember seeing something about silver rings.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 01-12-2006, 12:22 PM

So you are testing wether we have read Morgoth’s Ring or not ?

Lindolirian · 01-12-2006, 01:08 PM

Firefoot: 1

Well Rune, I suppose on that question I was... but this one comes from a different source:

2. Of what house of Gondolin was Duilin?

NightKnight · 01-12-2006, 03:45 PM

Wasn't he of the Swallow?

Lindolirian · 01-13-2006, 11:53 AM

3. Which Elf built a tower that was never needed?

He's the one.

5. And which elf was associated with the mole?

Firefoot · 01-14-2006, 09:42 AM

Rune Son of Bjarne · 01-18-2006, 01:06 PM

Lindolirian · 01-18-2006, 01:56 PM

Missing one!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-19-2006, 05:27 AM

Eöl, Maeglin, and . . . Voronwë???

Lindolirian · 01-19-2006, 12:35 PM

Voronwe had already lived there, so I wouldn't really count him as on outsider.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 01-19-2006, 12:45 PM

That is why I did not mention him, but did Luthien not see Gondolin as her and Beren was carried by Thorondor Angband.

Lindolirian · 01-20-2006, 01:09 PM

Good work Rune!

NK- 2
Firefoot- 2

Lindolirian · 01-22-2006, 06:50 PM

Well well, it would appear we have a tie. Rune and Firefoot both have three points.

Tie Breaker: According to some stories, which Elf loved the same woman his grandfather did?

PLEASE No one but Rune son of Bjarne and Firefoot answer.

Telchar · 01-23-2006, 03:44 PM

I know I know!!!!

Firefoot · 01-23-2006, 03:59 PM

I can't find anything about it, but I think I remember something about Celebrimbor loving Galadriel at some point...?

Lindolirian · 01-23-2006, 06:25 PM

Hahaha... poor Telchar.

Good work, Firefoot: the board is yours!

Firefoot · 01-23-2006, 08:55 PM

Thanks, Lindo. *Hands Telchar honorable mention award* And can't forget Rune... *hands Rune a cookie*

Let's try a new topic on Lies, Betrayal, and Deception.

1. Who sold out his companions for what turned out to be a lie?

Lindolirian · 01-23-2006, 10:45 PM

2. At this parley, neither side held up his side of the bargain with the intent of ambushing the other.

Fingolfin II · 01-24-2006, 11:56 PM
