Eyes or Senses I think.

hobbitlass · 12-19-2002, 05:05 AM

yes, Aule-master of crafts, it was Bilbo's eyes. Gandalf says this when Bilbo is the only who notices that a bear has been following them while borrowing Beorn's ponies. Your go.

How old was the Old Took when he died and how old was Bilbo when he sailed away. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

TolkienGurl · 12-19-2002, 02:44 PM

The Old Took was 130 when he died, and Bilbo was the same when he sailed, I believe.

Eruwen · 12-19-2002, 03:44 PM

No, not completely. The Old Took was 130, but the day Bilbo and Frodo sailed to the Grey Haves, Bilbo turned 131.

Quote:

Then Bilbo woke up and opened his eyes. 'Hullo, Frodo!' he said. 'Well, I have passed the Old Took today!'

TolkienGurl · 12-19-2002, 03:59 PM

Oh my goodness! At first I put 130 and 131, but then I changed it! Oh well. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Eruwen · 12-19-2002, 05:54 PM

Ok, so does that mean then it is my go? Or do I have to wait until Aule oks me to go?

Beren87 · 12-19-2002, 06:20 PM

By the rules of this noble game, you must wait.

12-20-2002, 03:01 AM

Yes that is OK Eruwen that was right. You can go now. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Eruwen · 12-20-2002, 09:23 AM

Ok, this might be an easy one if you know exactly where to find it. What was the first thing that Pippin and Merry said to each other when they met for the first time after the battle with the Nazgul Lord? (I am looking for 2 lines here.)

TolkienGurl · 12-20-2002, 09:24 AM

We are doing The Hobbit trivia. That's LotR.

Eruwen · 12-21-2002, 08:39 AM

Oh, I thought it meant it had to be about Hobbits. Cause the last question was from ROTK wasn't it? Ok, what's the deal?

TolkienGurl · 12-21-2002, 09:52 AM

That last question had a little to do with The Hobbit because it asked what age Bilbo was when he set off on his journey. The rest of the question was from Rotk, though. So technically, that was not a good question to ask:

quoth Musnud, the starter of this thread.

If you look at the rest of this thread, I'm pretty sure most of the questions are from The Hobbit.

Only trying to help! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Liriodendron · 12-21-2002, 04:20 PM

Yes, yes! Let's have a good question from "The Hobbit" ! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] (somebody!)

Eruwen · 12-22-2002, 01:56 PM

ok then...some one else can go because I havn't had time to think of a good question. And thanks, Tolkiengurl. Sorry I didn't know.

TolkienGurl · 12-22-2002, 05:08 PM

I'll go! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Whom does Gandalf wish were banished from this world?

It is from The Hobbit, so you need not search throughout all of Tolkien's works!

Eruwen: There's nothing to forgive! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 12-22-2002, 05:26 PM

The Necromancer.

Beren87 · 01-01-2003, 08:33 PM

Well, its been a week and I know Im correct so Im going to just go.

What did the raftman say there was no time for?

[ January 01, 2003: Message edited by: Beren87 ]

Lindolirian · 01-01-2003, 09:15 PM

For opening the barrels and checking to see why they were so heavy.

Beren87 · 01-01-2003, 09:40 PM

Yes, you are correct.

Lindolirian · 01-01-2003, 09:42 PM

How does Beorn first learn of the arrival of Thorin and Co.?

Bruce MacCulloch · 01-01-2003, 09:46 PM

The horses went to tell him of the arrival of strangers.

Lindolirian · 01-01-2003, 09:47 PM

Correct, Bruce!

Bruce MacCulloch · 01-01-2003, 11:34 PM

To what did Bilbo compare the bare patch on Smaug's chest?

hobbitlass · 01-02-2003, 06:51 AM

Quote:

Why there is a large patch in the hollow of his left breast as bare as a snail out of its shell!

Bruce MacCulloch · 01-03-2003, 12:00 AM

Merely 'a snail out of its shell' would have sufficed. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
Your turn.

hobbitlass · 01-03-2003, 07:31 AM

I knew it was something about a snail, and since I had to look it up anyway, I decided to post it. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Now for mine....
Who was the last dwarf to set foot in Bag-end?

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

TolkienGurl · 01-03-2003, 08:20 AM

Thorin Oakenshield, I believe.

hobbitlass · 01-04-2003, 07:35 AM

Nope, this one is a bit tricky.

Liriodendron · 01-04-2003, 08:11 AM

Balin?

TolkienGurl · 01-04-2003, 04:00 PM

Oh goodness. I was just thinking about the first chapter. I forgot Balin comes to visit! *sulks in corner* [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] I guess I'd better brush up on my Hobbit skills!

01-04-2003, 05:25 PM

bilbo found a key

hobbitlass · 01-04-2003, 07:24 PM

Liriodendron, you got it, your turn.
And Tolkiengurl, no sulking allowed! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Liriodendron · 01-04-2003, 10:53 PM

OK! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Where did old Carc and his wife live?

Russandol · 01-05-2003, 11:40 AM

Above the guard-chamber of the look-out post on Ravenhill.

Liriodendron · 01-05-2003, 07:56 PM

Well done Russandol! Welcome. You may ask the next question. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Russandol · 01-05-2003, 08:52 PM

Which troll had the talking purse?

Beren87 · 01-05-2003, 09:40 PM

I believe it was William.

Russandol · 01-05-2003, 11:11 PM

You believe most correctly.

Beren87 · 01-06-2003, 06:07 AM

Ahh lovely.

What did Beorn "tease" Bilbo about the morning of the second day there?
