Um...well, I've got nuthin to loose, so I'll bet 4, and say, that based on this quote I'll say exactly the same as dwarf men?

you got it, Perk...as if going on a journey. :)

Alright! I'm back on track! :D Let's get this started! Anyways, the next question is worth 2 points!

In what order did the dwarfs come into existance among the peoples of Arda?

2 points: second, after the Elves.

for 2 points. THe dwarves were first in existence.

Firefoot, plus 2, luthien-elvenprincess, minus 2

2 points: How many times did a messenger from Mordor come to Dain to ask for news of Hobbits?

i bet 2 points ,3 times

Yes.

for 2 points.

Who took the last ring of the dwarves from Thror and where was he held prisoner?.

I'll bid 2 points and say Sauron took the last ring from him and imprisoned him in the dungeons of Dol Guldur.

yup your right.
your turn

Cool,

For 4 points: Name 10 dwarves from the Third Age who did not accompany Bilbo on the Quest of Erebor.

I bid 4 points: Frar, Loni, Nali, Dain Ironfoot, Thorin Stonehelm, Thrain, Thror, Fundin, Dis, Durin VI.

4 points your way!

For 3 points: What is the most common starting letter of the kings of Durin's house after Durin VI?

3 points: T.

1 point - S.

3 points for Firefoot, -1 for rutslegolas.

Points Tallied!

2 points: which of the Valar created Dwarves?

Easy! I bid 2 and say Aule!

Yep.

Alright! Here's the next one: For 1, what's another name for the lonely mountain?

1 point: Erebor.

Yippee!

3 points: what is another name for Nanduhirion, and what is something that happened at this point?

I'll bid 3 and say that another name is The Dimrill Dale, and it's where Azog finally died!

I'll take that! :)

Alright! For 3 points, how many Dwarves of Durin's Line died of unnatural causes?

3 points: 15?

Oh! One more thing I forgot to mention! You have to name them :D

Oh, okay. 3 points: 15. Durin VI, Náin I, Dáin I, Frór, Thrór, Thráin II, Thorin II Oakenshield, Fíli, Kíli, Dáin II Ironfoot, Náin, Fundin, Balin, Oin.

That's what I'm looking for!

3 points: at what point did Thorin decide to follow Gandalf's plan for the defeat of Smaug?

I bet 2 points after they met at the Prancing pony?

Nope.

Maybe this is more difficult than I was giving it credit for... I'm going to bump it up to 4 points.

Risky 4 pointer ...
 

I'll take a risk on 4 points and say never, since Gandalf never really had a clear plan for the defeat of Smaug.

Sorry, Saucepan... it is specifically stated that at some point Thorin did decide to listen to Gandalf.
