3. Every man - or Elf - has his price... what was Maeglin's?

Rune Son of Bjarne · 01-25-2006, 03:18 PM

Idril I am surre of, but was he also promised Gondolin ?

Gondolin and Idril ?

Firefoot · 01-26-2006, 03:39 PM

He was.

4. Explain this quote: "Then is Saruman not a traitor?" "Indeed yes. Doubly."

Elu Ancalime · 01-26-2006, 08:02 PM

Sauruman betrayed both the Wise and the Free, and yet he betrayed Sauron by sending Uruks to take the RIng.

5. Name two promises that Gollum broke and one that he kept.

Gil-Galad · 01-27-2006, 06:27 PM

one is lead the hobbits to Mordor...

Firefoot · 01-28-2006, 12:33 PM

And...

Gil-Galad · 01-28-2006, 01:51 PM

get the precious back??

Firefoot · 01-28-2006, 03:03 PM

I meant more like promises he made to other people.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 01-28-2006, 04:02 PM

Bring food to Shelob ?

Firefoot · 01-28-2006, 05:22 PM

Okay, here's the deal. Gollum probably made lots more than the three promises I had in mind, none of which have been stated on this thread yet. So whoever puts three (reasonable) promises into a single post will get it, even if they aren't the specific three I had in mind (you shouldn't need to stretch too hard here, honest). Okay?

Oh, and if you could label them as kept or unkept, I'd be grateful.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-29-2006, 04:17 AM

Kept:

Lead the Hobbits to Mordor.
Never let Sauron have the Ring.

Unkept

To be very very good. (Good, sure, but not very very.

)

Elu Ancalime · 01-31-2006, 06:42 PM

Kept
Show master to Black Gate
Show hobbitses up the stair into Mordor

Unkept
To not speak of the Ring (asked Frodo for it at Dagollad/Morannon)

6. Who besides Gollum broke a promise to Frodo (give the instance)?

Fingolfin II · 02-01-2006, 12:24 AM

Gandalf? When he promised to meet him at the Prancing Pony in Bree?

Elu Ancalime · 02-01-2006, 08:34 PM

Boromir, about 'only needing to borrow the Ring...'

Or maybe even the Mirror of Galadriel? But I suppose Bagshot Row really was dug up and all....

7. He left his home because he believed the lies of his greatest enemy.

Tulkas the Mighty · 02-07-2006, 04:06 PM

Turin left Nargothrond because he believed Glaurung's lies that his family were dying in Dor-Lomin.

Firefoot · 02-07-2006, 04:28 PM

Nope.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 02-07-2006, 05:46 PM

Feanor left his home and the lies was those of Morgoth

9. This betrayal turned out to be a good thing and benefited the betrayed one greatly.

Lindolirian · 08-22-2006, 09:03 PM

Wow. I last posted in this game seven months ago and I still have a chance. I can't pass it up.

Let's see. When Gollum betrayed Frodo and attacked him in Sammath Naur and saved him by falling in with the Ring.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 06-20-2008, 11:36 PM

This was a rather fun quiz.

If anyone can take the stage, so we can continue the fun . . . No, not me, I'm still convalescing.

Nerwen · 06-21-2008, 05:06 AM

The new topic is: Horses and ponies. (i.e. half the questions will probably be about Rohan.)

1. In "The Hobbit", how many different mounts does Gandalf ride?

Gollum the Great · 06-21-2008, 12:48 PM

Uh...... 3?

Nerwen · 06-21-2008, 07:41 PM

Guess again.

Gollum the Great · 06-22-2008, 12:10 PM

Ok, 2.
*spontaneously feeling very religious*

Nerwen · 06-22-2008, 11:35 PM

Try again.

(You need to use a bit of deduction here...)

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 06-22-2008, 11:39 PM

1.5... or maybe just one.

Nerwen · 06-22-2008, 11:47 PM

One guess at a time, please.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 06-23-2008, 12:16 PM

How about one?

Aganzir · 06-23-2008, 02:23 PM

I believe the answer is four. Though one of them doesn't surely count as a horse or pony.

Nerwen · 06-23-2008, 04:04 PM

Yes, four it is (At least, that's what I I make it, and it's my quiz.

)

Okay, nice easy one:

2. A white horse is the emblem of which country?

Gollum the Great · 06-27-2008, 01:04 AM

Now that's rediculously easy.

Rohan

Nerwen · 06-28-2008, 09:32 AM

Indeed. And while we're in Rohan–

3. What did the Rohirrim call Nahar's rider?

Rune Son of Bjarne · 06-28-2008, 10:02 AM

How evil. . .I know who the rider is, but I cannot remember what name the Rohirim gave this person.

Nerwen · 07-05-2008, 06:27 AM

Well, you'll have to better than that, sorry.
