Orcrist the Goblin-cleaver was Thorin's sword, not Sting!
Sting was a short Elvish sword, Orcrist was a full length sword.

Wait, I thought Orcrist was Thorin's Sword's name.

Well, I don't have my book with me, so I concede being wrong. Take it, Lady Elbereth

Thanks [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
How long were Thorin & Co. in the mountain after Smaug smashed the magic door?

It had been two nights and the day between since the magic door was smashed till the company went to the old look-out post.

Correct hobbitlass!

What did Gandalf give to the Old Took?

"...a pair of magic diamond studs that fastened themselves and never came un done until ordered?"

Correct again, Tolkiengurl. Say...are you following me?! Haha. your go.

No, don't worry. I'm no stalker! I just wanted to reply to the newest posts, and since I have no life... well... anyway,

In what year was Dale destroyed?

(I'm not sure if there is a reference to this. I don't have the book with me right now. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] )

Life? What Life?

TA 2700 by Smaug

Actually it says in Appendix B of LOTR, that Dale was destroyed in the year 2770 TA by Smaug. Close enough. Go ahead.

Bah, you shouldn't have given me that. lol, oh well.
And this is The Hobbit trivia, so looking in LotR was kind of cheating. No harm though.

Who once wore Glamdring? (before Gandalf in other words)

Was it Turgon, King of Gondolin?

Stand tall my dear, stand tall...

LadyElbereth, that you are correct. Though in The Hobbit it says only "the king of Gondolin." by Elrond.

Yeah, I realize that in The Hobbit it only said "the King of Gondolin", but I wanted to know who the King of Gondolin was so I kinda looked that part up...(I DIDN'T CHEAT..HONEST! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] )
Anyway, my question: What color was the arrow that killed Smaug?
(ok, easy question, but I couldn't think of anything else)

Black of course [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

yep, your go [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Briefly tell us the Arkenstone's life story

[ October 25, 2002: Message edited by: Susan Delgado ]

I don't remember a life history in the hobbit.I'll have to look that up.Be back.

"The greatest and most prized possession in the hoard of the Dwarf-kings of Erebor, lost to their House when the dragon Smaug pillaged the Lonely Mountain (2770 Third Age).
"The Arkenstone was a great white gem of brilliant translucency, mined from 'The-Heart-of-the-Mountain' - as the jewel was itself afterwards called by the Dwarves of Durin's House. Unexpectedly recovered from the Dragon by the Hobbit Bilbo Baggins in the year 2941, it was later used by him in an attempt to secure peace between Dwarves, Men and Elves before the Battle of Five Armies. it was afterwards laid to rest with Thorin Oakenshield, who was mortally wounded in that battle." The Tolkien Companion, pg. 25

Well, so much for brief!

Excellent work, Tolkiengurl [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Can I go now, or should I wait?

No, go [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

What were Dain's folk clad in?

Correct, Beren87. Next question! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

From what line was Bard descended?

The answer is in The Hobbit, no cheating needed... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Sheesh, only 45 minutes. Your too good at this.

Concedes defeat, your turn

Thanks! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

What kind of dwelling did the Elven-king live in?

I assume you mean Thranduil [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Yes. Isn't that what he's called in The Hobbit? I thought that Elrond was always called Elrond, but King Thranduil was called the Elven-king.

And, yes, you are right. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

That's right, I was just being slightly pedantic, because it amuses me [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

What did Bilbo find when he returned to his hole at the end?

An auction and some very suprised hobbits! Most of his things had been sold and the Sackville-Bagginses were measuring his rooms to see if their furniture would fit.

Opportunistic little gits, weren't they? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

You're right

"Little gits" is right. I still can't believe they did that! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

What were the Hobbits doing that really annoyed Bilbo (when he and Gandalf came back to Hobbiton)?

They were going in and out of his hole and not even wiping their feet on the mat first

How did some of those Hobbits feel about Bilbo's unexpected return?
