True, but Lindo never sayed whether he accepted Lothiriel's answer, but seeing as Lindo hasn't been here in a while, and Lotheriel was close, I guess she has the right to ask. My apologies.

They were all born in the third(?) age? I can't double check my answer right now, so this is a guess.

No they were not.
And secondly I wanna add that while guessing is good, its it should still be based on just the smallest amount of insight - if insight is out for lunch - then try research - it is allowed to use the books - actually I inspire it - thats the way to learn more - if your wild shots hit now and again then you will soon forget why and how - but if you read up and earn your right to ask the next question, I think you'll feel hust a little more proud of yourself.

Cheers Telchar [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

I have no clue at all [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] unless maybe that they all married the man of their dreams after he had finished the quest of his life? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Oh my heck, I'm right!? I hardly ever get these. But, Telchar is the one who got things rolling...thanks.
Since I wasn't expecting to have to go next, please give me till tomorrow morning. I have to do some research. Then if 7:00 a.m. (E.S.T) comes and I haven't posted, I relinquish my turn.
Thank you all.

I'm bringing this up to the top with a hint. I get the feeling that I am jinxed and kill off topics.

All of them have a thing in common that they had out of their possesion, at least for awhile. Some with their permission some without their permission. The people can be grouped as follows...

Beorn
Sam
Eomer


Merry
Theoden (at first)

Actually, I'm not sure if it's hard or just lame. And holler (anyone) if another clue is needed.

Or the answer if everyone is bored with this one.

All right, I'm posting the answer so this game can go on (or get buried) cause I'm tired of checking back.

HORSES. They all had horses at one time or the other that was out of their "possesion" at least for awhile. Some with permission some without.

Eomer-lent Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas
Beorn-lent Gandalf and dwarves and Bilbo
Sam-let Bill the pony go at the mines of Moria

Merry-had horses stolen at the Prancing Pony
Theoden-(at first) Gandalf takes Shadowfax then Theoden gives Shadowfax to him freely.

Like I said, not sure if this was incredibly hard or incredibaly lame.
