Would that be the rock Bilbo trips over when running from Gollum? It's refered to as a "snag in the floor", so I guess not! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Hmmmmm

In the Toll´s Lair, when it´s said, that Sting, Glamdring and Orcrist are from Gondolin?

Nice guess, Liriodendron, but Malva Headstrong has the right answer.

By Hidden Rock, I meant Gondolin. Your Go!

Malva, are you there? Or anywhere for that matter...

Over 10 days, this game is up for grabs technically.

Okay I'm grabbing!

Which riddle proved to be a nasty poser for Gollum?

one green eye says hi to one red eye or something like that. the one about the flowers in the sun.

Gollum did have a little trouble with that one, but that's not the "nasty poser".

I believe this is what you are looking for.

A box without hinges, key, or lid,
Yet golden treasure inside is hid,

And of course "Eggses" is the answer.

Yup! That's what I'm looking for! Carry on!

I have a question!!!!

How many dwarves come to Bilbo's Hobbit Hole?

Welcome to the Barrow Downs Lady Dakai! I'm sorry but it's alaklondewen's turn because she(?) answered the last question. You can check out the Quiz Room rules here. Have fun posting and discussing Tolkien's works!

Just to insert my two cents, Alak is indeed female. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Thank you, Firondoiel. Welcome to the Downs, Lady Dakai! Feel free to jump in any time and answer a question.

What did Bilbo stuff in the barrels (other than Dwarves)?

You're welcome alak. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] The answer is straw.

When the goblins captured the dwarves in the Misty Mountains, how many goblins grabbed Bilbo?

Great question! I had to look it up. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] The answer is two Goblins grabbed Bilbo, and six to each Dwarf.

Thanks! The thread is yours.

You are quite welcome.

What was the belt Thorin gave Bilbo made of?

Sorry if I'm butting in, but was the belt made of pearls and crystals?

Yes, it was! Welcome to the thread Tinuviel, the floor is yours. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Sorry for taking years to respond everyone my apologies. The question is:
What is the name of the really old raven that used to have a friendship with Thorin?
(The actual raven, not his son)

Correct Arwen_Evenstar. Over to you.

Okie dokie, and easy-peasy one:
Gee, this'll take you guys like a second!

He thinks Bilbo is one of the Lakemen, from Esgaroth.

Um..well he does think that...but that is not his explanation for the title 'barrel-rider'....try again...and a back-up quote would be good. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Having just read that very chapter to my daughter this evening, I think I can oblige.

So, he thought it might have meant rider of a fat pony. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

And what a fantastic chapter that is. It was great to read it again. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Correct Saucepan man!
My favourite chappie too!
Ur go!
[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

It's your go Saucepan Man.

*bumps thread to top*

Oops. Sorry, lost track of this thread.

OK, an easy one. What was the name of Thranduil's butler?

Ha! Easy indeed, that one cause me a fair bit of searching.

But, Galion was his name.

Galion it is, Beren. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

How many yells did the front orcs give before Gandalf and Thorin cleaved them down as they were running away inside the Misty Mountains?

They "gave one yell before they were killed". [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Beren, did you forget about me?

Somehow I did! Very sorry Alak, but your correct.

My dear, Beren, you were supposed to say, But Alak, I would never forget about you! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Who went in to the secret passage with Bilbo on the first time in?
