If Lindolirian want, he may continue

Lindolirian · 02-13-2004, 03:06 PM

In which battle did Lòmion die?

NightKnight · 02-14-2004, 05:57 AM

In the Fall of Gondolin.

Lomion = Maeglin.

Lindolirian · 02-14-2004, 08:58 AM

Of course, Proceed!

NightKnight · 02-15-2004, 08:35 AM

How many battles did Aragorn fight in on his way to become the king? (I'm only counting those after he met Frodo)

Sleepy Ranger · 02-16-2004, 05:26 AM

After meeting Frodo, lets see......well at Amon Hen if you count that as a battle. Helms Deep, Pellenor, The Black Gate and The one at Umbar where he Took(ha!) the dead and that at Weathertop though I'm not sure if he fought all it says is Frodo say Strider jump out of the darknees and so on.

NightKnight · 02-16-2004, 01:50 PM

That's good, please continue.

Sleepy Ranger · 02-21-2004, 03:03 PM

well next question-

In which battle was the past tense of the synonym of "get" nearly get crushed under a big beast but saved by one near the ground?And name the 2 people.

Arvedui III · 02-21-2004, 03:43 PM

I don't pretend to know what the 'get' clue is about, but it sounds like the battle of Morannon, when Pippin was crushed under a troll and save by Gimli, who is low to the ground. Or maybe Beregond and Pippin, who is also closer to the ground than most.

Sleepy Ranger · 02-21-2004, 03:49 PM

The battle of Morannon, Pippin saved by Gimli it is,
Continue.

Arvedui III · 02-21-2004, 06:23 PM

Thanks. Herm...here's an easy one. Name all the battles in which eagles came to the rescue.

NightKnight · 02-21-2004, 06:29 PM

The War of Wrath, the escape of the fugitives of Gondolin, the Battle of Five Armies, the battle at Morannon...those are all I can think of.

Arvedui III · 02-21-2004, 09:18 PM

Those are all the ones I can think of too. Your go NightKnight.

NightKnight · 02-22-2004, 06:55 AM

Name the two elven leaders that were killed during the first two battles in the Beleriand wars (the first unnamed one and Dagor-nuin-Giliath).

Lindolirian · 02-22-2004, 05:24 PM

Denethor and Fëanor.

NightKnight · 02-22-2004, 06:03 PM

You're right, please continue.

Lindolirian · 02-24-2004, 03:55 PM

Name at least five battles that hobbits have been in.

Sleepy Ranger · 02-24-2004, 04:04 PM

Pellenor, Morannon, The Battle of Bywater, Amon-Hen, Battle of Greenfields

Lindolirian · 02-25-2004, 06:49 AM

Amon Hen? One on hundreds, no matter how well he did, is hardly a battle. The rest are good though. First person to come up with the fifth battle wins!

Sleepy Ranger · 02-25-2004, 08:48 AM

The March of the Ents against Isengard. And the Battle of the Five Armies.

Lindolirian · 02-25-2004, 02:22 PM

That works!

Sleepy Ranger · 02-29-2004, 02:12 PM

Name the 3 who got caught up in a wa rather unknowingly.

rutslegolas · 03-02-2004, 11:19 PM

i think they are pippin,merry,ents
but i think my answer is wrong

Sleepy Ranger · 03-04-2004, 12:25 AM

Well not Treebeard. M & P aren't whom I had in mind but they also fit in. First person to name the third takes it.

NightKnight · 03-04-2004, 02:05 PM

Fingolfin during the kinslaying of Alqualonde?

Sleepy Ranger · 03-04-2004, 02:12 PM

Well not whom I had in mind......But take it away...

NightKnight · 03-04-2004, 04:03 PM

Who did you have in mind then?

Morgoth, Sauron and Gothmog killed two noldorin lords each. Say who killed who, and in what battles.

Lindolirian · 03-05-2004, 01:05 PM

Morgoth killed Finwë before the door of Formenos. He also killed Fingolfin in the duel at the gate of Angband.
Sauron killed Celebrimbor in the first War of the Ring when he overran Eregion. He later killed Gil-Galad during the Seige of Barad-dur.
Gothmog killed Fëanor in the Dagor-nuin-Giliath, and died while killing Ecthelion in the Sack of Gondolin.

NightKnight · 03-06-2004, 10:31 AM

So close. But maybe I should have been more specific. I was looking for people from Finwë's House, but I'll give it to you. The last one was Fingon during Nirnaeth.

Lindolirian · 03-10-2004, 06:54 AM

In what battle was Gelmir killed?

NightKnight · 03-10-2004, 08:37 AM

Supposing you mean Gwindor's brother, he was killed just before Nirnaeth Arnoediad.

Lindolirian · 03-10-2004, 07:31 PM

Correct!

NightKnight · 03-11-2004, 01:58 PM

An easy one: Name the four battles of the Beleriand wars that were named.

symestreem · 03-11-2004, 04:59 PM

Dagor-nuin-Giliath; Dagor Agraleb; Dagor Bragollach; Nirnaeth Arnoediad

NightKnight · 03-12-2004, 07:07 AM

It was actually Aglareb, but I suppose that's what you mean. Your turn.

Arvedui III · 03-22-2004, 05:38 PM

This thread should not die. At least it should not die alone, unaided.

Lindolirian · 03-22-2004, 08:47 PM

So don't let it die! It's been ten days y'know...

In the Battle of Pelennor Fields who led the archers against the Oliphaunts?

Finwe · 03-22-2004, 09:08 PM

Duilin and Derufin?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-22-2004, 09:09 PM

Duilin and Derufin.

Aw, Elf! Finwe, we cross-posted!

Finwe · 03-22-2004, 09:11 PM

Ha... well, I'm a minute ahead!
