Bilbo went to look at the time and put the kettle on. He thought he was home...

Good job Entmoot!

What were described as being too small for trolls?

The clothes hanging on the wall in the Troll's cave.

That one took me a bit to find as I kept reading the part before, forgetting about the cave.

That is correct Beren

Who pointed out the ruins of Dale?

Hint: It was a Dwarf.

Really?! I thought it would be Beorn. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
But alas, it was a dwarf. They seem to be all over this story don't they?
Balin pointed out all that was left of Dale.

How'd you ever get it? It was such a subtle hint [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Your turn hobbitlass.

What did Bilbo really mean when Gandalf said, 'Yes, you do! If you want to get to the other side. You must either go through or give up your quest. And I am not going to allow you to back out now, Mr. Baggins. I am ashamed of you for thinking of it. You have got to look after these dwarves for me.'

Bilbo was wondering if there was another way to get around Mirkwood. He said...."is there no way round?"

Aye, that would be it. Your go...

Yay! Hobbit trivia! I know it better than LotR certainly, but that may be because I have read it and heard it read maybe ten times total, (one of the first books I ever heard!) so... Anyway, can I just jump in?

Suilad,

Liriodendron is a lady! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] So....who lent Bilbo a red silk handerchief?

Thank you! So... Balin perhaps? I keep thinking it was him, but it might be Thorin, or Gandalf perhaps, or... Too many characters!

Suilad,

Eruanne

Good guesses, but it was none of those characters! hee hee [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Wow... Not any of them? REALLY?! Strange... Hmmm... Dwalin?

It was not a dwarf! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Elrond

Yea! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] You got it! The next question is yours. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

From what three directions did the wolves come?

north east and south

Well, I believe it says left, right, and back. But considering the direction they were going in I believe your correct.

ok so what were the names of thorin and gandalfs swords in the tounges of goblins? sorry if this has been asked before [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Beater (Gandalf's) and Biter (Thorin's)

I was about to say Elrond. Hmph. Pondered over it all night. But, you beat me to it! Good job!

good job ladyelberth your turn

Where do the Great Wereworms dwell?

The far-east of ME? I'm not sure if it said a particular place and I don't have my copy of the Hobbit to look it up...

East of east, in the last Desert.

Come on people! This thread is geting stagnant!

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

Liriodendron is correct!! Your turn!

Why did Thorin and company quit lighting "watch fires" in Mirkwood?

I believe that is the answer you are looking for.

Yes! Scores of creepy eyes, and giant black dusty moths! Yuck! I'd put a bag over my haed! Your question! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Thank you, and sorry I took so long to post this question.

Very easy, as I'm quite drained of ideas: Which dwarf alerted the trolls to the presense of the reast of the dwarves?

I think tha answer is Balin. This is all after the trolls caght Bilbo and were fighting, but the first dwarve was Balin.

Correct, your question Nilwen!

What was the last thing Balin said to Bilbo?
