Boromir is Boromir of the Fellowship right?

Gwaihir the Windlord · 11-25-2002, 11:23 PM

Yep.

Here, a hint... add Prince Imrahil to the list. So

Boromir
Elrond
Ar-Pharazon
Arathorn
Imrahil

Try that.

Lindolirian · 11-26-2002, 05:08 PM

Well, you said this was easy, so I've stopped toiling over all the complicated things that just don't work and have decided that they all have dark colored hair. Or elvish blood.... arghhh... *trying to think of easy things*....

Gwaihir the Windlord · 12-06-2002, 09:20 PM

Yeah, you got it. Easy, wasn't it? They all had Elvish blood, so go on please.

Lindolirian · 12-08-2002, 07:50 PM

Ah, I knew it. The easy ones are the hardest for me cause I always think to hard.

ok I think this one is easy too, so, I'll try to make it harder by giving other names for the folks involved:

the father of Bolg
Wingfoot
Ironfoot
the brother of Pimpernel Took

the real findorfin · 12-10-2002, 12:30 PM

They've all been in Moria except Wingfoot!

Lindolirian · 12-10-2002, 05:56 PM

Hint: This is "One Thing in Common" not "Odd Man Out". [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Lindolirian · 12-12-2002, 05:51 PM

You were on the right track, findorfin...

the real findorfin · 12-13-2002, 09:50 AM

OK, well have they all been (fought???) in Moria then?

Lindolirian · 12-13-2002, 04:04 PM

Correct.

the real findorfin · 12-13-2002, 04:36 PM

Earwen
Galadhon
Saeros
Denethor
Thingol

Not too hard really!

Lindolirian · 12-13-2002, 11:30 PM

They were all Telerin Elves.

the real findorfin · 12-14-2002, 06:15 AM

Well, yeh, told you it was easy.

Lindolirian · 12-15-2002, 12:45 PM

In this one, I'll tell you what they said, then you have to figure out who they are and what they have in common... Good luck!

Lindolirian · 12-17-2002, 05:45 PM

I feel like I'm always the one who kills the good threads with really hard questions. But we did have a great spell of easy ones back there. C'mon are we getting lazy? Think!

Hint:
the first quote is from the Sil.
the second quote is from the Lay of Leithan.
the third quote is from FotR.

Cool?

Bruce MacCulloch · 12-28-2002, 11:57 PM

1. Huan
2. The raven that mocked Beren
3. The fox that passed Frodo & co in the wood in the Shire

- They are all animals that spoke.

Lindolirian · 12-29-2002, 10:22 AM

Of course, Mr. MacCulloch.

Bruce MacCulloch · 12-29-2002, 01:59 PM

Gandalf
Gimli
Bilbo

(Hint - it has nothing to do with the fact that Bilbo has no beard.) [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

akhtene · 12-29-2002, 06:57 PM

2 versions:
-each of them was named 'elf-friend';
-they sailed to the West.
Now, are both wrong? [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Bruce MacCulloch · 12-29-2002, 08:45 PM

I'll take the second answer.
Your turn.

akhtene · 12-31-2002, 05:22 PM

Well, try this list:

Elenwe
Arvedui
Helm (of Rohan)

Lindolirian · 01-01-2003, 02:25 PM

They all died as a result of extreme cold.

akhtene · 01-01-2003, 03:29 PM

Right you are.

And so will I quite soon... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] It's -32 Centigrade outside.

Lindolirian · 01-01-2003, 04:11 PM

Isildur
Eorl
Meneldil
Hallas

hobbitlass · 01-03-2003, 08:30 AM

All their fathers died in war.

[ January 03, 2003: Message edited by: hobbitlass ]

Lindolirian · 01-05-2003, 05:09 PM

Incorrect. Try again!

akhtene · 01-05-2003, 06:17 PM

Gosh, can't find ANYTHING on Hallas! Any hint, pleeeeese!

Lindolirian · 01-05-2003, 06:21 PM

Hrm... I saw in the Very Easy Trivia thread that you have not read UT. It is in there. I'll give you a hint though... Hallas was the son of Cirion. That probably won't give you much unless you know what Cirion did... Sorry, I don't want to give away too much.

Russandol · 01-06-2003, 01:49 AM

They all kept the secret of the location of Elendil's tomb on Amon Anwar.

Lindolirian · 01-06-2003, 02:37 PM

Of course, Russandol!

Russandol · 01-16-2003, 12:11 AM

Too easy but here goes :-

Tar-Aldarion of Numenor
Haldir of Lorien
Gamling of Rohan
Gandalf The Grey

Lindolirian · 01-16-2003, 12:28 PM

They all know another language that others of their race don't know.

Lindolirian · 01-18-2003, 07:20 PM

Well Russandol, it's only been two days, but the Quiz Room is a bit more active than it was in the days of Mat_Heathertoes. Friendly reminder to keep up on your threads!

Russandol · 01-20-2003, 08:12 AM

Yes, too easy. They've all demonstrated their translation abilities.

Lindolirian · 01-20-2003, 10:29 AM

Ecthelion
Faramir
Denethor
Firiel
Boromir
Turin

[ January 20, 2003: Message edited by: Lindolirian ]

Russandol · 01-21-2003, 07:30 AM

I'm not sure which of the Boromirs, Denethors, Turins or Ecthelions you mean.

Lindolirian · 01-21-2003, 08:07 PM

Well, I would give you a hint, but you just gave it to yourself... *Mysterious laughter* [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Pallando B.C · 01-22-2003, 02:55 AM

They all have a name which someone else has also.

e.g
Denethor -> Son of Lenwë
Denethor -> Father of Boromir and Faramir.

Ultimatejoe · 01-22-2003, 06:15 AM

Damn, I actually knew that one too.

Russandol · 01-22-2003, 10:51 AM
