I was looking for something slightly more specific

Lindolirian · 10-27-2002, 08:43 PM

They were in a mood for stealing silver spoons.... hehehe

Childlike Empress · 10-27-2002, 08:45 PM

That too [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img], but not what I'm looking for...

TolkienGurl · 10-27-2002, 08:46 PM

Quote:

In short Bilbo was "Presumed Dead", and not everybody that said so was sorry to find the presumption wrong.

Quote:

On their side they never admitted that the returned Baggins was genuine, and they were not on friendly terms with Bilbo ever after.

This last quote referring to the Sackville-Bagginses, of course.

Which of the Dwarves insisted hearing the Gollum story all over again after Bilbo had explained it once?

Childlike Empress · 10-27-2002, 08:55 PM

Balin!

Childlike Empress · 10-27-2002, 09:04 PM

Why did Bilbo lie to the Dwarves about the Ring in the first place?

LadyElbereth · 10-28-2002, 08:45 AM

Bilbo decided not to tell them about the ring because they (the dwarves)praised him for his skill and they finally had no doubt that he was a first-class burglar.

TolkienGurl · 10-28-2002, 09:13 AM

Yeah, he didn't want them to know that he had "outside help." Bilbo wanted the Dwarves to think that it was his skill and intuitiveness that did it. GOOD IDEA LadyElbereth! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Susan Delgado · 10-28-2002, 08:40 PM

Close enough [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I guess Lady Elbereth can go now [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

LadyElbereth · 10-28-2002, 08:43 PM

o ok. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
err..I don't know if this question has been asked or not.

What are moon-letters?

Susan Delgado · 10-28-2002, 11:12 PM

Letters which only appear when the light of the full moon shines on them. There were some on Thorin's map; they told where and how the side-door could be found.

LadyElbereth · 10-29-2002, 08:45 AM

Correct! your go [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

TolkienGurl · 11-02-2002, 02:42 PM

Well, since no one has posted, and today's day 5, I'm gonna go.

What is a polite thing to say among Eagles?

LadyElbereth · 11-03-2002, 08:54 AM

Farewell! wherever you fare, till your eyeries recieve you at the journey's end.

hobbitlass · 11-03-2002, 08:59 AM

Thank you, LadyElbereth. May the wind under your wings bear you where the sun sails and the moon walks.

LadyElbereth · 11-03-2002, 09:16 PM

Thankyou! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

What did Bilbo wish for over and over again?

hobbitlass · 11-05-2002, 07:15 AM

Always to be back home, by the fire, eating something. Not for the last time.

LadyElbereth · 11-05-2002, 07:59 AM

Correct! Your go. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

hobbitlass · 11-05-2002, 09:14 PM

What is "insulting to anybody"?

Gwaihir the Windlord · 11-09-2002, 09:54 PM

Tomnoddy, what Bilbo said to the giant spiders.

More than a year since my last Tolkien reading spell... and just about since my last post here, I believe.

hobbitlass · 11-09-2002, 10:19 PM

Well done. And welcome back.
Your turn.

Gwaihir the Windlord · 11-10-2002, 03:30 AM

Thanks.

In what style did Dain's Dwarven soldiers wear their beards?

LadyElbereth · 11-11-2002, 07:06 PM

Their beards were forked and plaited and thrust into their belts.

Gwaihir the Windlord · 11-12-2002, 03:37 AM

Correct of course, your turn.

LadyElbereth · 11-12-2002, 07:50 AM

What were the names of all three trolls?

TolkienGurl · 11-12-2002, 03:50 PM

Bert, William, and Tom

LadyElbereth · 11-12-2002, 07:13 PM

correct! Your go.

TolkienGurl · 11-13-2002, 11:32 AM

Ok, thanks!

This concerns the battle in The Hobbit.
*Which armies turned up for battle?
*Who were the chiefs of the armies?
*What was the outcome?

Answer all three correctly and you may proceed!

Gwaihir the Windlord · 11-13-2002, 04:18 PM

Wood-Elves: Thranduil
Lakemen: Bard
Eagles: Gwaihir
Orcs: Bolg
Dwarves: Dain/Thorin

Everyone onto the Goblins. The allies won.

TolkienGurl · 11-13-2002, 07:10 PM

You may proceed, Gwaihir. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Gwaihir the Windlord · 11-14-2002, 12:21 AM

Thankyou.

When did Thorin attack a lakeman?

hobbitlass · 11-17-2002, 08:16 AM

When the banner-bearers and trumpeters returned to see if Thorin repented of his words. He did not and shot an arrow at the main speaker.

Gwaihir the Windlord · 11-18-2002, 04:14 AM

correct

hobbitlass · 11-19-2002, 01:07 PM

Which would Bilbo have liked better?
A. a loaf and butter
B. meat toasted on sticks

Liriodendron · 11-19-2002, 01:27 PM

A loaf and butter, the eagles fare was not his fave! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

hobbitlass · 11-20-2002, 03:45 PM

That's right and please pass some over here! Although I wouldn't say no to some steak on a stick. Your turn...

Liriodendron · 11-20-2002, 08:29 PM

Who greeted Bilbo with his hand on his breast? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
