It was Dwalin

Yes I believe it was...

With what was Smuag killed?

an arrow
If i remember right, it was a poisned arrow...but then I seldom remember anything right...

A little more specific please. You are partly right.

smaug was killed by the black arrow of Bard.

Very good, Vilya. Your turn now.

yay!! Ok, let's see...

Who said this, to whom, about what, where?? [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

I am guessing that this was said about the drop to the water in the cellars of the elf king. I cant remember anything about who would have said it... bilbo to one of the dwarves.

I case you didnt realise this was a shot in the dark!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Bilbo, talking to Thorin Oakenshield about the width from the near bank of the Enchanted River to the boat moored on the other side..

correct mat!! Go on ahead!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Said by whom?

bilbo???

Beorn to Gandalf, after Gandalf finished telling the story of their adventures.

Spot on Mr MacCulloch, as usual over to you!

Who was Thranduil's butler?

That was Galion, reputed to be partial to a drop of Dorwinions finest

Technically, your answer is correct. The name I was actually looking for was the one his school-friends called him, "Percy". [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
Just kidding - your turn, Mat.

What was Thranduils favourite type of gemstone?

Emeralds

Yup! Your turn!

What kind of a pen was used to write the moon-letters on the map?

A special mithril type one?

silver pens...

"The dwarves invented them and wrote them with silver pens, as your friends could tell you." - Elrond to Bilbo

All yours, Leg.

Here goes:

The Arkenstone is worth what?

Well, according to Bilbo, Thorin valued it "above a river of gold".

Or it could be argued that it was worth one fourteenth of the pile of treasure as Bilbo claimed.

From the first page of A Thief in the Night:

"For the Arkenstone of my father," he [Thorin] said, "is worth more than a river of gold in itself, and to me it is beyond price."

Go Bruce.

The problem with questions from The Hobbit is that finding a new question is increasingly more and more difficult. But - no worries, here's one:

What did Gollum teach his grandmother?

To suck eggses

You know...my school colors are Red and Black...maybe the administrators or whoever picked the colors are Orc decendants?! Or quite possibly Orcs themselves?! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] LOL

Your Principle isn't a Mr B.Olg by some remote chance ?

That is correct, Master Heathertoes!

Many thanks Mr Macc. It's getting tricksy to find new and ever more obscure questions for this book, but here goes..

How many times does the word 'precious' (or precioussss!) appear in Riddles in the Dark, The Hobbit 4th Edition....?

complete guess, but 23?

If I counted right, it is 24.

I'm afraid you haven't

27??

Keep going [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
