It's been 10 days since Salix has been seen. So, I would say yes, a new question is in order.

Alright, it's an easy one, but let's hope it'll get the ball rolling:
How did Smeagol kill Deagol?

Strangulation.

Yes, in opposite to Bilbo he grabbed first and whispered afterwards when with Deagol [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

alaklondawen? Are you there?

I apologize, I seemed to have forgotten it was my turn. Thank you, Hirilaelin.

Why did Smeagol leave his family?

His grandmother banished him, I think... or at least he was exiled in some way.

That's right! I think Gandalf said she wished for peace. The board is yours.

How many teeth does Gollum have when he meets Bilbo?

We only has six my precious!

Chestnuts, chestnuts! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

*from the same chapter [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Indeed! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] continue...

lathspell, your go!

Erm..who's turn is it Sophia?

Hmmm... yours beren... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] sorry about the confusion... I'd forgotten.

Sophia

Just thought I'd ask to make sure. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

What type of things did Gollum pathologically fear?

Hmm...Do you mean the sun and moon, or maybe anything Elvish? I'm not sure.

Well, it says exactly what he fears, but you guessed it. All things elven!

Thanks, Beren. I forgot I answered on this thread.

Sam threatened Gollum on Mount Doom. What did he threaten him with?

You are correct, and thank you for giving the quote. I was afraid someone would just say 'sword', and I wanted 'nasty cruel steel'. Good job...the board is yours. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

What did Gollum do in the villages of the Beornings?

After the escape from Mirkwood there ran a rumour through Mirkwood that there was a monster loose that stole children from their cradles.

Is that what you mean?

That was... *grimaces* apologies for my slight inaccuracies... I'm Hobbit-book-less for the moment [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Sophia

Good!
Here is the new one:

of whom is it said that they pitied Gollum? (please gimme the quotes if you can to backup the answer)

greetings,
lathspell

Bilbo
Sophia

Ai! Yeah, you gave me the right answer. So it is your turn, Sophia.

I wanted to ask for all the people of whom this is said, but the question wasn't asked rightly :S

lathspell

Faramir asks Frodo if Gollum is a kind of animal. What two animals does he think it might be?

Sophia

Faramir thinks he is either a squirrel or a king-fisher.

squirel or kingfisher

dang to late

perfect, Alaklondewen... your turn.

Alaklondewen? *bump*

*Shaking head* Geez, my five hundredth post was a "bump" talk about momentous [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

I'm so sorry, Sophia, but congrats anyway on becoming a Ghost Prince. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Describe the sound Gollum makes when he cries.

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

Kind of a disgusting, yet pitiful, sound, yes? Your turn... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I always feel so sorry for Gollum. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

My question is:
What, apart from Orcs, did Gollum say Frodo would find in Mordor?

I'm just throwing out a guess here, but sometimes I've gotten lucky...was it death?
Awww, that doesn't sound right, but I'll keep it anyway, just in case.

Good guess, but no. He mentioned some very specific things. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

So, some ash, some dust, thirst and loads of pits, pits, pits, plus the orcses of course, my preciousss. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Edit: To correct typos.

Well, thirst would eventually lead to death... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] kidding.

I need to have my book beside me at all times, as it seems Saucepan Man does! Good job!
