There and back again...
 
My first post should be an easy one... who comes first?

What did the eagels give Bilbo & Co. when they had rescued them from the tree-tops?

Narya 02-02-2002 11:43 AM
Hi, i am new at the downs, too.

I think it was food.

the_master_of_puppets 02-02-2002 12:48 PM
how many years was it that gandalf had not seen frodo for when he returns and tells him the truth of the ring?

a) one, b) four, c) seven or d) nine???

and this is easy so i expect some answers! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Androndo the Thoughtfull 02-02-2002 02:11 PM
Welcome to you too Narya..!

Yes it was food... but what food...?

And the_master_of_puppets: You have to awnswer a question right before You ask another question i the same topic... If you want to "just" ask a question then Post a new topic... Wasn't it about 17 years? Bilbos birthday party was i 3.A. 3001 and Gandalf came and warned him the 12 april 3.A. 3018 or what?

Elrian 02-02-2002 09:32 PM
Wasn't it rabbits?

Androndo the Thoughtfull 02-03-2002 12:26 AM

Elrian 02-03-2002 11:21 PM

Androndo the Thoughtfull 02-04-2002 02:48 AM

What did the wine of Dorwinion do to it's drinkers?

Bruce MacCulloch 02-04-2002 10:16 PM
It put them to sleep.
See? Now I've answered one of yours! :P

Elrian 02-05-2002 12:08 AM
It's close, the book is a bit more descriptive though.

Androndo the Thoughtfull 02-05-2002 01:10 AM
The kings butler and the chief of the guards began to laugh merrily. Then they nodded their heads and fell asleep on the table.

is that good enough?

Elrian 02-05-2002 04:18 AM
The answer is a few passages after that, like I said you were close.

Androndo the Thoughtfull 02-06-2002 03:25 PM

Narya 02-07-2002 01:14 PM
Beorn!

dernhelm 02-07-2002 02:02 PM
Right, Narya! Now it's your turn. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Bruce MacCulloch 02-07-2002 04:16 PM

Was it in The hobbit?
Well, i am just guessing, because I donīt have a copy of the book with me.
Was it Bilbo in the top of the tree in the Mirkwoodforest about the butterflys?
No, itīs wrong, isnīt it?
Maybe Beorn?
If this is all nonsence, plz forgive me, itīs late [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

"String, or nothing!" shrieked Gollum, which was not quite fair - working in two guesses at once.
But, unlike Gollum, your second guess was correct. It was Beorn speaking of Gandalf and Bilbo.

Bruce MacCulloch 02-09-2002 04:33 AM
Your turn Narya.

Narya 02-09-2002 07:13 AM
