Balin, at your service.

Liriodendron · 11-24-2002, 10:54 PM

Yesssss! Such a nice dwarf! Your go.

Beren87 · 11-25-2002, 04:50 PM

Right-o

How would your shadow look if seen in full sunlight with the one ring on?

Galadel Vinorel · 11-25-2002, 04:56 PM

Wouldn't you not have a shadow, Beren, since you were wearing the One Ring?

Well, that's my answer. Am I right, or no?

Beren87 · 11-25-2002, 05:30 PM

Nope, it isn't a trick question. It states clearly in The Hobbit as to how it looks.

Beren87 · 11-27-2002, 06:23 PM

It seems like I have a real talent for killing a topic.

Durelin · 11-27-2002, 06:50 PM

I can find a place or two where it is said he has a shadow, but no description. On page 99 of my book it says:

Quote:

Suddenly one of the goblins inside shouted: "There is a shadow by the door. Something is outside!"

while Biblo is stuck in the door trying to escape from deep under the Misty Mountains. Good question there!

Beren87 · 11-27-2002, 07:39 PM

Nope, thats not it. I even went back to check and found it again.

Durelin · 11-27-2002, 07:52 PM

Found it!

Quote:

He wanted it because it was a ring of power, and if you slipped that ring on your finger, you were invisible; only in full sunlight could you be seen, and then only by your shadow, and that would be shaky and faint.

Shaky and faint is my final answer? Dids we gets it my preciousss? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 11-27-2002, 07:53 PM

YES!! YOU GOTS IT!!!

GOOD JOB, and your turn!

Durelin · 11-27-2002, 08:00 PM

Yey! Okay:

How does Gollum show his little cheating self in The Hobbit? (I want specifics please!) [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

-Imrahil- · 11-27-2002, 08:11 PM

I hates Gollum. I hates him. He doesnt' really cheat ON the riddles does he? He never asked an unfair riddle, he was however going to eat Bilbo no matter the riddle game winner.

Durelin · 11-27-2002, 08:15 PM

Oh yes he does, and he gets away with it even though it is plain and simple cheating. Gollum's a bad boy!

Beren87 · 11-27-2002, 08:28 PM

He guessed four times on the "pockets riddle" which counts as cheating...plus never intending to keep his part of the deal.

Durelin · 11-27-2002, 08:32 PM

Excellent! Carry on! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]null[/img]

Beren87 · 11-27-2002, 08:35 PM

YAY!
What was the Arkenstone worth more than?

One more post and i'm past 200!! woohoo!

Liriodendron · 11-27-2002, 09:25 PM

How about a "river of gold"?

Beren87 · 11-27-2002, 11:04 PM

Incredibly correct!

Your go.

Liriodendron · 11-28-2002, 10:34 AM

OK! Who was from the line of Girion?

Beren87 · 11-28-2002, 11:31 AM

Bard?

Liriodendron · 11-28-2002, 06:49 PM

Yes! So, can you "stump us"? Ask away! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 11-28-2002, 07:08 PM

More than likely not. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

What delights goblins?

hobbitlass · 11-29-2002, 06:46 AM

Fifteen birds in five fir trees...
and light the night for our delight,
Ya Hey!
Ya-harri-hey!
Ya hoy!

Beren87 · 11-29-2002, 06:52 PM

HA, yes I guess that could be said, but I was looking for something a wee bit more specific.

hobbitlass · 11-30-2002, 03:50 PM

Allright Beren87, I found the goblins delight...ingenious devices for killing large numbers of people at once, for wheels and engines and explosions.

Beren87 · 12-01-2002, 02:18 PM

WONDERFUL! quite the effort. I applaud you.

And...your turn.

hobbitlass · 12-01-2002, 09:25 PM

Thank you, and I applaud you for a tricksy question. Now for mine...
Where does Bilbo fear the dragon?

Liriodendron · 12-01-2002, 10:15 PM

In the backdoor tunnel, after Balin leaves,when all sign of the secret door fades,as he begins to hear the "pot bubbling", "gigantic tomcat purring" sound of the snoring Smaug!?

hobbitlass · 12-01-2002, 10:41 PM

very good, your turn.

Liriodendron · 12-01-2002, 11:05 PM

all right! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] What marked the way to Rivendell?

TolkienGurl · 12-02-2002, 07:19 PM

"The only path was marked with white stones, some of which were small, and others were half covered with moss or heather."

Liriodendron · 12-03-2002, 09:33 AM

Ahh! You got it! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I'd like to try to follow that path, wouldn't you? So, you shall ask us the next question! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

TolkienGurl · 12-04-2002, 02:30 PM

Where did Bilbo and the Dwarves travel after Rivendell?

(Sorry if it's too easy. I think we have kind of worn out this topic. I'm not sure what to ask for fear that it has been asked before!)

[ December 04, 2002: Message edited by: TolkienGurl ]

Beren87 · 12-04-2002, 04:14 PM

I'm not sure how specific you want, so I'm just going to say into the Misty Mountains.

TolkienGurl · 12-07-2002, 11:51 AM

Ok, I guess I wasn't very specific! I meant:

What was the next major step in their journey after Rivendell?

Beren87 · 12-10-2002, 04:14 PM

Next planned step? (as in lake-town I would suppose) or next accidental step? (as in Beorn's house.

TolkienGurl · 12-11-2002, 12:19 PM

When you said Misty Mountains you were partially correct. I need a more specific answer.

Ok, here's what I really meant:

Where in the Misty Mountains did Bilbo, the dwarves and Gandalf travel after they left Rivendell? What (not whom) did they encounter?

Not laketown, not Beorn's house.

[ December 11, 2002: Message edited by: TolkienGurl ]

hobbitlass · 12-14-2002, 07:03 AM

Since you are asking 'what', I say it was the thunderbattle. And saw the stone-giants tossing boulders.

TolkienGurl · 12-17-2002, 04:20 PM

Well, yes. I was kind of thinking about the encounter with the goblins as being the next major part in the story.

Sorry if I wasn't clear!

Hobbitlass, take it away!

hobbitlass · 12-18-2002, 09:46 AM

According to Gandalf, Bilbo's _____ are sharper than the Dwarves'. What is it?
