Well, that "minute" could have been mere seconds, as 11:08.52 and 11:09:03 is separated not by a minute.

Oh, get off it! She posted first!

And it would seem that the faster typist wins! So sorry, Nil :rolleyes:

Alright Nil, Finwë's been gone too long. It's your thread now since you also had the correct answer!

Oops... sorry... completely forgot about this thread.... if Nil doesn't show up, can I go ahead and post a new one?

Oh yeah, you popped up just in time! Nice... :)

Haha... all right...

In the name of which battle was Niobe's stream involved?


This'll take a little knowledge about Greek mythology as well.

Nirnaeth Arnoediad

Excellent work! Your turn.

When was the Battle of Eriador, and who were the participants?

1695-1699 Second Age, it was Sauron VS. the elves of Eregion, Lindon and Lothlorien, the dwarves of Moria and the men of Numenor.

Righty-ho! Hey check out Active Topics... It looks pretty funny with all of our rapid fire Q and A session we're having. It's like the Quiz Room is on fire :eek:

Hehe, yeah. We are just sooo good. :p

In what battle was the first time someone broke through the gate of Minas Tirith, and who was it?

I somehow feel like I'm falling into a trap when I say this..
In 457 FA, Sauron took Minas Tirith (and most likely broke its gate). But you were most likely referring to the Battle of Pelennor Fields in 3018 TA in which Grond under the command of the Witch King was hurled thrice against the gate of Minas Tirith by great mountain trolls.

Oh, clever to find that one too...I hadn't even thought about it. You are right though, it was that pesky Witch-King. But on the other hand, he had to pay for it a short while thereafter. ;)

In which battle was a king likened to Béma?

NK: Sorry, our rapidfire Q and A is about to end I have to eat dinner and get off to band practice now. It was fun while it lasted!

It was the battle of the Pelennor Fields I believe, wasn't it Theoden? Or was it Fingolfin riding to Angband?

It was indeed fun. I think you should try out my anagrams, nobody does that. :(

Yes, it was Theoden on his first charge of the Pelennor.
Hmm well anagrams have never been my strong point, but I'll give it a whirl.

Too tired to think of something hard... In what greater battle was Anduril first used?

Battle of the Hornburg?

Yup.

Yay
In what battle was Marhari slain?

Battle of the Plains

Wow.. that was quick.

Hey, we just happened to be online at the same time...

In what "battle" was Fredegar Bolger taken captive?

Well it wasn't really a battle, but I think he got smoked out of the smials at Scary or something odd like that

the battle of bywater

You are correct, Tulkas!

In which battle did the heavy hand fall?

He (Mablung) fell in the Sack of Doriath.

Sorry for the wait! You are correct :D

Cheers Tulkas.

In which battle did Halbarad die?

In the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.

Yes :).

Name three battles (smaller or greater) where elves and dwarves fought together.

The battle of the five armies, Helms Deep?(Legolas & Gimli), Pellenor (Again Legolas & Gimli.), The battle of sudden flame? Dagor Argaleb(sp)?

I don't know if there were any dwarves in Bragollach or Aglareb, but you're correct on the other ones. Please continue! :)

Name two battles in which two brothers were slain together.

The fight at the mouth of Sirion and the Battle of Unnumbered Tears.

Unnumbered Tears? Which brothers were slain there?

Anyway, I'll say Pelennor Fields (Derufin and Duilin) and Dagor Bragollach (Angrod and Aegnor).

Nightknight has it.
