If Lindolirian want, he may continue :)

Lindolirian 02-13-2004 03:06 PM

Blast! I hoped you would ask! Asking is harder than answering...:)
 
In which battle did Lòmion die?

NightKnight 02-14-2004 05:57 AM

In the Fall of Gondolin.

Lomion = Maeglin.

Lindolirian 02-14-2004 08:58 AM

Of course, Proceed!

NightKnight 02-15-2004 08:35 AM

How many battles did Aragorn fight in on his way to become the king? (I'm only counting those after he met Frodo)

Sleepy Ranger 02-16-2004 05:26 AM

After meeting Frodo, lets see......well at Amon Hen if you count that as a battle. Helms Deep, Pellenor, The Black Gate and The one at Umbar where he Took(ha!) the dead and that at Weathertop though I'm not sure if he fought all it says is Frodo say Strider jump out of the darknees and so on.

NightKnight 02-16-2004 01:50 PM

That's good, please continue. :)

Sleepy Ranger 02-21-2004 03:03 PM

well next question-

In which battle was the past tense of the synonym of "get" nearly get crushed under a big beast but saved by one near the ground?And name the 2 people.

Arvedui III 02-21-2004 03:43 PM

I don't pretend to know what the 'get' clue is about, but it sounds like the battle of Morannon, when Pippin was crushed under a troll and save by Gimli, who is low to the ground. Or maybe Beregond and Pippin, who is also closer to the ground than most.

Sleepy Ranger 02-21-2004 03:49 PM

The battle of Morannon, Pippin saved by Gimli it is,
Continue.:)

Arvedui III 02-21-2004 06:23 PM

Thanks. Herm...here's an easy one. Name all the battles in which eagles came to the rescue.

NightKnight 02-21-2004 06:29 PM

The War of Wrath, the escape of the fugitives of Gondolin, the Battle of Five Armies, the battle at Morannon...those are all I can think of.

Arvedui III 02-21-2004 09:18 PM

Those are all the ones I can think of too. Your go NightKnight.

NightKnight 02-22-2004 06:55 AM

Name the two elven leaders that were killed during the first two battles in the Beleriand wars (the first unnamed one and Dagor-nuin-Giliath).

Lindolirian 02-22-2004 05:24 PM

Denethor and Fëanor.

NightKnight 02-22-2004 06:03 PM

You're right, please continue. :)

Lindolirian 02-24-2004 03:55 PM

Name at least five battles that hobbits have been in.

Sleepy Ranger 02-24-2004 04:04 PM

Pellenor, Morannon, The Battle of Bywater, Amon-Hen, Battle of Greenfields

Lindolirian 02-25-2004 06:49 AM

Amon Hen? One on hundreds, no matter how well he did, is hardly a battle. The rest are good though. First person to come up with the fifth battle wins!

Sleepy Ranger 02-25-2004 08:48 AM

The March of the Ents against Isengard. And the Battle of the Five Armies.

Lindolirian 02-25-2004 02:22 PM

That works!

Sleepy Ranger 02-29-2004 02:12 PM

Name the 3 who got caught up in a wa rather unknowingly.

rutslegolas 03-02-2004 11:19 PM

i think they are pippin,merry,ents
but i think my answer is wrong

Sleepy Ranger 03-04-2004 12:25 AM

Well not Treebeard. M & P aren't whom I had in mind but they also fit in. First person to name the third takes it.

NightKnight 03-04-2004 02:05 PM

Fingolfin during the kinslaying of Alqualonde?

Sleepy Ranger 03-04-2004 02:12 PM

Well not whom I had in mind......But take it away...

NightKnight 03-04-2004 04:03 PM

Who did you have in mind then?

Morgoth, Sauron and Gothmog killed two noldorin lords each. Say who killed who, and in what battles.

Lindolirian 03-05-2004 01:05 PM

Morgoth killed Finwë before the door of Formenos. He also killed Fingolfin in the duel at the gate of Angband.
Sauron killed Celebrimbor in the first War of the Ring when he overran Eregion. He later killed Gil-Galad during the Seige of Barad-dur.
Gothmog killed Fëanor in the Dagor-nuin-Giliath, and died while killing Ecthelion in the Sack of Gondolin.

NightKnight 03-06-2004 10:31 AM

So close. But maybe I should have been more specific. I was looking for people from Finwë's House, but I'll give it to you. The last one was Fingon during Nirnaeth.

Lindolirian 03-10-2004 06:54 AM

In what battle was Gelmir killed?

NightKnight 03-10-2004 08:37 AM

Supposing you mean Gwindor's brother, he was killed just before Nirnaeth Arnoediad.

Lindolirian 03-10-2004 07:31 PM

Correct!

NightKnight 03-11-2004 01:58 PM

An easy one: Name the four battles of the Beleriand wars that were named.

symestreem 03-11-2004 04:59 PM

Dagor-nuin-Giliath; Dagor Agraleb; Dagor Bragollach; Nirnaeth Arnoediad

NightKnight 03-12-2004 07:07 AM

It was actually Aglareb, but I suppose that's what you mean. Your turn. :)

Arvedui III 03-22-2004 05:38 PM

*Bump*
 
This thread should not die. At least it should not die alone, unaided.

Lindolirian 03-22-2004 08:47 PM

Use your eyes... :p
 
So don't let it die! It's been ten days y'know... :rolleyes:
In the Battle of Pelennor Fields who led the archers against the Oliphaunts?

Finwe 03-22-2004 09:08 PM

Duilin and Derufin?

Nilpaurion Felagund 03-22-2004 09:09 PM

The Morthond Brothers...
 
Duilin and Derufin. :)

Aw, Elf! Finwe, we cross-posted!

Finwe 03-22-2004 09:11 PM

Sneaking into the lead...
 
Ha... well, I'm a minute ahead!
