Boromir is Boromir of the Fellowship right?

Gwaihir the Windlord 11-25-2002 11:23 PM

Yep.

Here, a hint... add Prince Imrahil to the list. So

Boromir
Elrond
Ar-Pharazon
Arathorn
Imrahil

Try that.

Lindolirian 11-26-2002 05:08 PM

Well, you said this was easy, so I've stopped toiling over all the complicated things that just don't work and have decided that they all have dark colored hair. Or elvish blood.... arghhh... *trying to think of easy things*....

Gwaihir the Windlord 12-06-2002 09:20 PM

Yeah, you got it. Easy, wasn't it? They all had Elvish blood, so go on please.

Lindolirian 12-08-2002 07:50 PM

Ah, I knew it. The easy ones are the hardest for me cause I always think to hard.

ok I think this one is easy too, so, I'll try to make it harder by giving other names for the folks involved:

the father of Bolg
Wingfoot
Ironfoot
the brother of Pimpernel Took

the real findorfin 12-10-2002 12:30 PM

They've all been in Moria except Wingfoot!

Lindolirian 12-10-2002 05:56 PM

Hint: This is "One Thing in Common" not "Odd Man Out". [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Lindolirian 12-12-2002 05:51 PM

You were on the right track, findorfin...

the real findorfin 12-13-2002 09:50 AM

OK, well have they all been (fought???) in Moria then?

Lindolirian 12-13-2002 04:04 PM

Correct.

the real findorfin 12-13-2002 04:36 PM

Earwen
Galadhon
Saeros
Denethor
Thingol

Not too hard really!

Lindolirian 12-13-2002 11:30 PM

They were all Telerin Elves.

the real findorfin 12-14-2002 06:15 AM

Well, yeh, told you it was easy.

Lindolirian 12-15-2002 12:45 PM

In this one, I'll tell you what they said, then you have to figure out who they are and what they have in common... Good luck!

"Further counsel I cannot give, nor may I go further on your road."

"Haha, he comes too late!"

"There's something mighty queer behind this."

Lindolirian 12-17-2002 05:45 PM

I feel like I'm always the one who kills the good threads with really hard questions. But we did have a great spell of easy ones back there. C'mon are we getting lazy? Think!

Hint:
the first quote is from the Sil.
the second quote is from the Lay of Leithan.
the third quote is from FotR.

Cool?

Bruce MacCulloch 12-28-2002 11:57 PM

1. Huan
2. The raven that mocked Beren
3. The fox that passed Frodo & co in the wood in the Shire

- They are all animals that spoke.

Lindolirian 12-29-2002 10:22 AM

Of course, Mr. MacCulloch.

Bruce MacCulloch 12-29-2002 01:59 PM

Gandalf
Gimli
Bilbo

(Hint - it has nothing to do with the fact that Bilbo has no beard.) [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

akhtene 12-29-2002 06:57 PM

2 versions:
-each of them was named 'elf-friend';
-they sailed to the West.
Now, are both wrong? [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Bruce MacCulloch 12-29-2002 08:45 PM

I'll take the second answer.
Your turn.

akhtene 12-31-2002 05:22 PM

Well, try this list:

Elenwe
Arvedui
Helm (of Rohan)

Lindolirian 01-01-2003 02:25 PM

They all died as a result of extreme cold.

akhtene 01-01-2003 03:29 PM

Right you are.

And so will I quite soon... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] It's -32 Centigrade outside.

Lindolirian 01-01-2003 04:11 PM

Isildur
Eorl
Meneldil
Hallas

hobbitlass 01-03-2003 08:30 AM

All their fathers died in war.

Lindolirian 01-05-2003 05:09 PM

Incorrect. Try again!

akhtene 01-05-2003 06:17 PM

Gosh, can't find ANYTHING on Hallas! Any hint, pleeeeese!

Lindolirian 01-05-2003 06:21 PM

Hrm... I saw in the Very Easy Trivia thread that you have not read UT. It is in there. I'll give you a hint though... Hallas was the son of Cirion. That probably won't give you much unless you know what Cirion did... Sorry, I don't want to give away too much.

Russandol 01-06-2003 01:49 AM

They all kept the secret of the location of Elendil's tomb on Amon Anwar.

Lindolirian 01-06-2003 02:37 PM

Of course, Russandol!

Russandol 01-16-2003 12:11 AM

Too easy but here goes :-

Tar-Aldarion of Numenor
Haldir of Lorien
Gamling of Rohan
Gandalf The Grey

Lindolirian 01-16-2003 12:28 PM

They all know another language that others of their race don't know.

Lindolirian 01-18-2003 07:20 PM

Well Russandol, it's only been two days, but the Quiz Room is a bit more active than it was in the days of Mat_Heathertoes. Friendly reminder to keep up on your threads!

Russandol 01-20-2003 08:12 AM

Yes, too easy. They've all demonstrated their translation abilities.

Lindolirian 01-20-2003 10:29 AM

Ecthelion
Faramir
Denethor
Firiel
Boromir
Turin

[ January 20, 2003: Message edited by: Lindolirian ]

Russandol 01-21-2003 07:30 AM

I'm not sure which of the Boromirs, Denethors, Turins or Ecthelions you mean.

Lindolirian 01-21-2003 08:07 PM

Well, I would give you a hint, but you just gave it to yourself... *Mysterious laughter* [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Pallando B.C 01-22-2003 02:55 AM

They all have a name which someone else has also.

e.g
Denethor -> Son of Lenwë
Denethor -> Father of Boromir and Faramir.

Ultimatejoe 01-22-2003 06:15 AM

Damn, I actually knew that one too.

Russandol 01-22-2003 10:51 AM

curses!!!
