Who was the scoundrel who was obsessed with addictive substances?

symestreem 04-03-2004 12:00 PM

Anyone?
 
Anyone? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Lindolirian 04-03-2004 04:27 PM

Saruman, because he liked pipe weed, perhaps?

The Perky Ent 04-03-2004 04:54 PM

This is reallllllllly far out but, Sauron, because he was in Mordor, and Mt. Doom was expelling all that sulfuric fumes, so he could have been entoxicated?!?

symestreem 04-03-2004 06:43 PM

Lindolirian has it, but Perky Ent gets definite points for creativity!!! :)
:smokin: (Thought that was appropriate...)

Lindolirian 04-05-2004 06:38 PM

What bad guy ended "dumbfounded in the midst of his rage"?
*Not an exact quote... I don't have me book :rolleyes:

Durelin 04-05-2004 07:03 PM

I'm trying to think of a likely bad guy that was chewed out by Gandalf...I expect you would most often find a baddie speechless after a verbal beating from Gandalf... A guess, for sure: Denethor.

Or is he even an actual 'Bad Guy'. Hmmmm...he seems to fit fairly well...

Finwe 04-05-2004 09:36 PM

Boromir? I don't know if he technically counts as a bad guy.

The Perky Ent 04-05-2004 10:10 PM

This is going movie, but is it Saruman? Because Saruman is giving a lecture about embracing the ring or his own destruction, and then he says his thing about him not sharing power and ditching him?

Lindolirian 04-06-2004 06:31 AM

None of the above! :p
BTW, I don't quiz the movies unless I specifically say that I am, which is rare.

Arvedui III 04-06-2004 10:03 AM

Herm...maybe Grima Wormtounge.

Lindolirian 04-06-2004 02:22 PM

Perhaps this will help

...as he stood dumbfounded in the middle of his rage. He fell dead...
I reacquired my book, hoping the exact quote would help some.

Arestevana 04-07-2004 06:01 PM

Aha! Thankyou Google! :D

The Great Goblin from the hobbit, killed by Gandalf.

Lindolirian 04-07-2004 07:28 PM

Google!!! *Glares viciously* :mad: Sheesh, well ya got it right, but... Google??? :eek: You could at least not tell me that's what you did. Ah what the heck, go ahead...

Arestevana 04-08-2004 11:08 AM

*winces* Sorry. I promise never to use google for finding answers again. Good? ;)

Alright... which baddy "leapt in the air ten feet"?

The Perky Ent 04-08-2004 03:02 PM

Ok, this is really random, but i don't have a clue, so...um...the balrog, because when he was killed, he kinda fell....which is like jumping....so....um....yeah...

Arestevana 04-09-2004 09:02 AM

No. "leaped in the air ten feet" is an exact quote.

Lindolirian 04-09-2004 06:12 PM

The Chief of the Wargs when Gandalf burnt his nose with a flaming pinecone.

Arestevana 04-10-2004 05:38 AM

Correct.

Lindolirian 04-14-2004 07:58 AM

Who took command of the forces of Mordor after Merry and Eowyn tore up on the Lord of the Nazgul?

NightKnight 04-14-2004 09:40 AM

Gothmog.

Lindolirian 04-14-2004 02:42 PM

Of course. :)

NightKnight 04-15-2004 10:51 AM

Three bad guys are known to have killed two dwarves each from the family tree in Appendix A. Who were they?

Arvedui III 04-19-2004 04:49 PM

Herm...I don't have a book on hand, but could they be the Balrog of Moria, Azog the goblin and Smaug?

NightKnight 04-20-2004 01:25 PM

Two right, one wrong.

Sirithheruwen 04-20-2004 01:35 PM

Well, Azog (I'm pretty sure) is correct...Thror and Nain.
The Bolrog, I think, is correct too...Durin and Nain I.
I also found this in Appendix A:
Quote:

At last Dain I, together with Fror, his second son, was slain at the doors of his hall by a great cold-drake.
I have no clue if that is what you were looking for though.

NightKnight 04-20-2004 01:37 PM

Perfect. :)

Sirithheruwen 04-20-2004 01:46 PM

Yay! :D
Ok, an easy one:
What injuries did Shagrat sustain during the fight in the Tower of Cirith Ungol?
Good luck, and don't solve it too fast! ;)

NightKnight 04-20-2004 01:50 PM

He was stabbed in the arm.

Sirithheruwen 04-20-2004 01:52 PM

Too fast!
Yes. It was also "scored as if by rending claws," but since I didn't specify two, you're good to go! :)

Lindolirian 05-12-2004 08:08 AM

Cough... ahem. :p :D

NightKnight 05-12-2004 09:23 AM

Oops, sorry. I tend to forget about threads if I don't have the time to ask a new question immediately.

How many times did Gandalf encounter wolves, as far as we know?

Lindolirian 05-12-2004 03:50 PM

Yeah I forget about threads a lot too, I just happened to be in the second QuizRoom page cause I just got back from not being here a while and saw this one...
Gandalf encountered wolves at:
  • Glade where he burned them with pinecones
  • Battle of the Five Armies
  • Foothills of Caradhras
  • During the Battle of Helm's Deep when he gathered Erkenbrand and his men
Possibly I could add in when he escaped from the Orthanc, but he was many leagues away when they issued to pursue him, so it doesn't really count. I'd say four.

NightKnight 05-12-2004 03:52 PM

I hadn't thought about the Helm's Deep one, so you get a cookie for that one. Please continue. :)

Lindolirian 05-12-2004 04:00 PM

Ooo! A cookie! Yummm
What bad guy lived near Methon Amon?

NightKnight 05-12-2004 04:06 PM

After searching for it, the only site I found was in Italian. :p Anyway, I think it's Saruman, since Methon Amon is Methedras.

Lindolirian 05-12-2004 04:08 PM

Hahaha!! Italian??? Thats funny, do you know Italian?
Oh yeah, its right... :rolleyes:

NightKnight 05-12-2004 04:10 PM

No, I don't, but it said Methedras in the same sentance, so I took a guess. ;) Where do you get all those strange names from anyway? :confused:

How many orcs attacked Isildur on the Gladden Fields?

Lindolirian 05-31-2004 12:18 PM

Isildur went with his three sons and a guard of two hundred men. The attacking Orcs were said to have out numbered them many times even up to ten times. So I'd go with around two thousand Orcs.

NightKnight 05-31-2004 12:23 PM

Something like that, yes. :)
