I think it was called both in The Hobbit.

Lindolirian 05-07-2002 06:36 PM

ok you got it anyways. Go for it!

Elenya 05-09-2002 03:47 PM

Well, Nev is coming, I hope!

Nevfeniel 05-09-2002 09:09 PM

Oh, I'm sorry! I forgot about this completely!
Which dwarf lent Bilbo his spare cloak and hood?

Joy 05-11-2002 12:04 AM

Wasn't it Dwalin?

Daniel Telcontar 05-11-2002 02:52 PM

You are correct; Dwalin did indeed promise to lend Bilbo some spare clothes. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

What happened to Gollum's "friend" Deagol?

Lindolirian 05-17-2002 06:44 PM

Smeagol (Gollum) murdered him for the Ring.

Elenya 05-20-2002 07:41 PM

Yes, your turn, Lindo!

Lindolirian 05-20-2002 07:42 PM

How old did Dain Ironfoot live to be?

Elenya 05-22-2002 03:31 PM

256, I think?

Lindolirian 05-22-2002 06:19 PM

At Rivendell Gloin told Frodo that he had passed his 250th year and he died 4 or 5 months after Gloin told this to Frodo..... gee i guess i should have looked it up rather thatn just assuming 250. Could you tell me where you found this?

Elenya 05-23-2002 03:14 PM

My dad has this kind of old book called The Tolkien Companion, by J.E.A. Tyler, published by Picador in 1977 (It's one of my biggest pet peeves when people don't give enough information for me to find what I'm looking for). It's like an encyclopaedia for Tolkien. Not everythings in there, though, but it's a really useful little thing!!

Elenya 05-26-2002 02:43 PM

What were Radagast the Brown's "special skills"?

Lindolirian 05-26-2002 05:08 PM

umm i think he could change the shapes and colors of things. not to mention talking to all his animal friends.

Elenya 05-27-2002 12:55 PM

Very good!! Your turn!!

Lindolirian 05-27-2002 06:09 PM

What was the name of the founder of the Hobbit's Leaf?

Joy 05-28-2002 01:58 AM

Old Toby (Tobold Hornblower) was the cultivator of westermansweed or pipe-weed.

Lindolirian 05-28-2002 05:15 PM

of course....

Elenya 05-29-2002 04:07 PM

Hey Lindo, did you find the book yet?

Joy 05-29-2002 11:32 PM

How old was Aragorn when he became King?

Elenya 05-30-2002 03:44 PM

49?

Joy 05-30-2002 07:34 PM

Sorry, 49 is not the answer. Try again.

Lindolirian 05-30-2002 07:56 PM

88

Joy 05-30-2002 10:42 PM

Very good!

Elenya 06-01-2002 12:40 PM

Yeesh, I didn't know he was that old!

Lindolirian 06-04-2002 04:40 PM

How many years did Barliman's beer have a taste of "surpassing exellence"?

Elenya 06-04-2002 05:21 PM

Lindo, do ya think you could rephrase the question?

Nevfeniel 06-04-2002 05:26 PM

I think it was 7 years?

Lindolirian 06-04-2002 05:27 PM

hmm but that would only make it TOO easy. This is "Slightly Easier Trivia" not "Really Easy Trivia".

Lindolirian 06-04-2002 05:28 PM

aha Nevfenial posted while i was writing and is CORRECT!!

Nevfeniel 06-04-2002 05:30 PM

Yay! Go me!
Okay, question. Ummmm. . . How did Gollum escape the elves of Mirkwood?

Lindolirian 06-04-2002 05:33 PM

They let him climb trees to feel the breeze and one day a horde of Orcs (that Gollum did not know or ask to free him) attacked his guards but i believe he escaped from both the elves and orcs, came to moria, got lost, and picked up the trail of the Fellowship at the West Gate.

Nevfeniel 06-04-2002 05:39 PM

Correct!

Lindolirian 06-04-2002 05:43 PM

o boy me again...
What was the name of the dwarf who helped Bilbo Baggins up a tree to escape from thw wolves?

Mat_Heathertoes 06-05-2002 06:35 AM

That would've been Dori, because he was quite a decent fellow.

Lindolirian 06-05-2002 03:47 PM

yay 4 heathertoes

Mat_Heathertoes 06-06-2002 09:32 AM

How long was the High Hay?

Elenya 06-06-2002 03:08 PM

It was nearly twenty miles long!

Elenya 06-10-2002 03:33 PM

I'm pretty sure I was right, so here it goes!
