Sorry 'bout that all, I've been rather ill.

Correct alak!

alaklondewen · 02-23-2003, 09:06 AM

Great. It's good to have you back, Beren87.

What is Gollum's original, untranslated name?

Beren87 · 02-23-2003, 02:43 PM

Bah, call me Beren. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Since Smeagol is mannish for Trahald whcih means burrowing in, I guess that's what you want. So, my answer is Trahald.

alaklondewen · 02-23-2003, 02:59 PM

That is exactly what I was looking for. You're up.

Beren87 · 02-23-2003, 03:01 PM

Who gave him the name Gollum?

Eressië Ailin · 02-23-2003, 03:07 PM

Quote:

It is not to be wondered at that he became very unpopular and was shunned (when visible) by all his relations. They kicked him, and he bit their feet. He took to theiving, and going about muttering to himself, and gurgling in his throat. So they called him Gollum...

Sooo... his relatives?

I couldn't find anything more specific.

Eressië Ailin · 02-24-2003, 04:57 PM

Do you want relatives, or something more specific?

Beren87 · 02-24-2003, 05:43 PM

Relatives was exactly who I was looking for, good job!

The Daughter of Gollum and Shelob · 02-25-2003, 12:47 PM

Gollum was 33 years old, the age of hobbits 'Coming of Age' when he found the Ring. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

ElentariGreenleaf · 03-06-2003, 01:50 PM

So, who's go is it?....

alaklondewen · 03-07-2003, 01:03 PM

I believe it has officially been ten days.

What was Gollum's last word(s)?

lathspell · 03-07-2003, 02:42 PM

Quote:

'Precious, precious, precious!' Gollum cried. 'My Precious! O my Precious!'

Great variety of words in his last sentence [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Oh, and ofcourse he cried PREEEECCIOOOUUUSS one more time when he fell into the cracks of doom.

greetings,
lathspell

alaklondewen · 03-07-2003, 04:28 PM

You're right! He didn't provide any deep-seated wisdom that should be passed down through the generations. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Your go.

lathspell · 03-08-2003, 09:57 PM

How many times was Gollum captured in life?

ElentariGreenleaf · 03-09-2003, 09:06 AM

Um, four?

lathspell · 03-09-2003, 09:10 AM

I'm sorry... please name the ones who captured him (I know it was not in the question, but it's a bit hard to control the answer otherwise)

Annunfuiniel · 03-09-2003, 11:41 AM

I recall five times: Sauron's servants (Ringwraiths? can't remember), Aragorn, Frodo and Sam (twice, I think; Gollum tried to escape but they caught him again) and Faramir's soldiers.

lathspell · 03-09-2003, 04:06 PM

I give it to you Annunfuiniel... though I do not recall Gollum trying to escape.

Please proceed,
lathspell

Annunfuiniel · 03-09-2003, 11:56 PM

Oh, thank you, lathspell! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
So, what names did Gollum use for the moon and the sun?

P.S. Gollum tried to escape soon after Frodo and Sam caught him the first time; they were testing him by pretending they were sleeping and Gollum tried to flee (but didn't really get far).

lathspell · 03-10-2003, 05:40 AM

ah yes, Annunfuiniel, I remember now. Thanks!

he called them the 'White Face' and the 'Yellow Face'.

greetings,
lathspell

Annunfuiniel · 03-10-2003, 06:05 AM

Of course you're right! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] So, your turn again, lathspell, make it a tricky one! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

lathspell · 03-11-2003, 12:40 PM

tricksssy...
well, this ain't to hard, I think.

In how many chapters does Gollum appear (being named and all)?

good luck,
lathspell

Hirilaelin · 03-11-2003, 11:42 PM

Umm... Would it be ten times?

Annunfuiniel · 03-12-2003, 01:41 AM

I'd say 15 but it's mainly a guess.

lathspell · 03-12-2003, 05:37 AM

You guess rightly, Annunfuiniel [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

You have luck as well as wits [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Please proceed,
lathspell

Annunfuiniel · 03-12-2003, 06:09 AM

Oh thank you for your kind words, lathspell! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Now, tell me what lines Gollum recited both in the Hobbit and in LoTR?
And noooope, I don't mean "Precioussss!" or anything like that! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

ElentariGreenleaf · 03-12-2003, 07:53 AM

Um, "Stupid Hobbitssssss"?

Annunfuiniel · 03-12-2003, 08:12 AM

Nope. Something more specific...

lathspell · 03-12-2003, 01:16 PM

Maybe this is more or less right.

'Where iss it, where iss it: my Precious, my Precious? It's ours, it is, and we wants it. The thieves, the filthy little thieves. Where are they with the Precious? Curse them! We hates them.'

From - The taming of Smeagol - page 599

Annunfuiniel · 03-12-2003, 01:24 PM

Nope, not that either. It is something that he says word for word in both books but in LoTR it's part of a longer line.

Malva Headstrong · 03-13-2003, 12:53 PM

I think, I have it! That fish-riddle: Alive without breath, as cold as death, never thirsty, ever drinking, clad in mail, never clinking.

lathspell · 03-13-2003, 12:55 PM

I think you've hit the Bull'S Eye with that, Malva

Annunfuiniel · 03-13-2003, 01:10 PM

Yep, bull's-eye it is, as lathspell so aptly put it. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Good job Malva, please carry on. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Malva Headstrong · 03-14-2003, 10:10 AM

The one-eyed bull will continue [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Ok then, say three persons who were bitten by Gollum.

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-14-2003, 10:15 AM

Sam, Aragorn and Frodo.

Malva Headstrong · 03-14-2003, 10:16 AM

Right! Your turn.

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-14-2003, 10:22 AM

Thanks, Malva.

OK, on a slightly different tack:

Who provided the voice for Gollum in the Bakshi cartoon film of LotR?

Salix · 03-14-2003, 10:28 AM

That would be Peter Woodthorpe.

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-14-2003, 10:41 AM

I always thought that it was Alfie Bass for some reason ...

... but having checked the cast list, you are correct Salix. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hirilaelin · 03-20-2003, 05:14 PM

It's been a bit, do you think we need another question?
