The Enemy is Morgoth Bauglir
I don't rightly know this, but I thought: Turin, Eonwe and Fingolfin
Turin delivers the death stroke with his Black Sword, thus revenging his dreadful life.

Good job, it's your turn lathspell.

The three were: Tulkas, Eönwë, Túrin

c'mon, ask a question

Welcome Nefwathiel! By the noble rules of this room, lathspell has 10 days to respond.

Alrighty then
here the new question:

What battle did Gandalf remind the Hobbits off, that they should remember?

greetings,
lathspell

Was it the Battle of Dale?

I don't exactly know the name of it, but I think you mean the right battle.
please proceed

Who was the only survivor of the Disaster of the Gladden Fields?

Was it Ohtar?

There were three survivors. Ohtar, his companion, and Estelmo.

From Unfinished Tales:

Beren87, you can take your advice and shove it where the sun dont shine. I ve been on here almost as long as you so screw off!

Still Beren87 is right, Nefwathiel. Just hold to the rules and people will proceed... usually.

There's a differance in being here and participating here. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] So just follow the rules and everyone can have a good time!

Now, Elfhelm has been gone for more than 10 days, even with my PMs he has not posted here, so it's anyone's turn.

Glad to see your back Beren87. Hope all is okay. Let's try this one:

In what Battle was an elf, who had been enslaved in Angband and escaped, slain?

That would be the Battle of Tumhalad, if I remember correctly. And the elf that was mortally wounded was Gwindor.

Correct Annunfuiniel. The floor is yours.

Thanks, Feanaduial!
Name four Battles (specifically named Battle[s]) in which no elf took part.

Battle of the Gladden Fields (Massacre of Isildur)
Battle of the Hornburg (Saruman's army and the Rohirrim
Battle of the Peak (Gandalf and the Balrog)
Battle of Bywater! (Last battle of WR in the Shire)

Hi, Beren, nice to see you're back! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
But to the answer you gave...you got 2 out of four right.
Battle of the Gladden Fields is usually referred to as Disaster of the G.F.
And the Battle of Hornburg...well: Saruman's forces vs. Rohirrim+Aragorn, Gimli& Legolas
Yes, I'm picky! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

OK, how about:

Battle of the Peak (Gandalf and the Balrog)
Battle of Bywater! (Last battle of WR in the Shire)

plus

Battle of Anulzibar (sorry, haven't got my book handy to check the spelling) - Dwarves and Goblins/Orcs

Battle of the Ford of Isen - Saruman's forces and Rohirrim.

That is a valid answer, Saucepan Man, congrats! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img](the spelling:Azanulbizar)
Two other battles that would have been correct were the Battle of Greenfield (hobbits and orcs, TA 2747) and
the Battle of the Powers (between Valar and Melkor soon after awakening of the elves).

Thank you, Annunfuiniel.

OK, an easy one. Name four battles featuring Hobbits. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Battle of the Five Armies
Battle of Helm's Deep
Battle of the Pelennor Fields
Battle of the Greenfields (sp?) the battle when the Bullroarer invented golf is meant here.

And - Battle near Morannon

Hobbits at Helm's Deep?

Nope. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Battle of the Five Armies
Battle of Bywater
Battle of the Pelennor Fields
Battle of the Greenfields
Battle of Fornost (The Shire sent a company of bowmen...err...bow-hobbits.)

And actually the Battle of Gladden Fields is called by that name in quite a few places. With the number of men involved it really is considered a battle but oh well.

Congrats, Beren87. I must admit, I'd forgotten about the Battle of Fornost, which is why I was only asking for four ...

... Your turn. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I'm feeling quiet stupid now [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Nice question!

What unlikely character (hint hint) said that the battle of Dagorlad lasted for months?

Gollum?

Or maybe Ghan-buri-Ghan

Well, Gollum was the one that I knew of, your turn Ultimatejoe!

Before which battle does Borondir suspect the Lady of the Golden Wood to be on his side and why does he make this assumption?

Too easy for the Man with pans of Sauce! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Sorry, I deleted my original post, because I realised that it was the Battle of the Field of Celebrant, not the Disaster of Gladden Fields as I put originally.

So my answer is:

Is it the Battle of the Field of Celebrant? There is a mist issuing forth from Lothlorien which allows Eorl's forces to attack with surprise.

Edit: Hmm, now that looks mighty strange, with Lindolirien's confirmation coming before my answer. [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Thats strange, I was sure you had said Celbrant. O well, you have it now, so have at it!

There be strange things afoot on the Downs. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

How many recorded Battles in ME have a name that is water-related and name each of them.

Battle of Bywater
Battles of the Fords of Isen
Battle of the Crossings of Isen
Battle of the Crossings of Poros
Battle of the Crossing of Erui
Battle of Unnumbered Tears (Hey tears are water too)

So that would be six unless I can't count.

[ April 29, 2003: Message edited by: Lindolirian ]

Hmm, you got the tricksy ones (Isen x2, Bywater and Unnumbered Tears), but there are more ... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

There was the battle in the Fens of Serech in which Barahir saved Felagund, and then the battle where Beren kiled the dwarves who slew Thingol, and got the Silmaril back at Sarn Athrad. Oh yes and the Battle of Laketown in which Smaug was destroyed. I can't think of any others at the moment.
