The Perky Ent · 04-17-2004, 03:42 PM

Um...the minimun you could bet is 1 point!

Firefoot · 04-17-2004, 04:20 PM

Well, that was stupid wasn't it?

One point then.

Kath · 04-18-2004, 06:42 AM

Firefoot got it (eventually).
Your turn.

Firefoot · 04-18-2004, 06:44 AM

For 1 point, how many Dwarf-rings were there?

NightKnight · 04-18-2004, 06:46 AM

Firefoot · 04-18-2004, 06:46 AM

Yes.

The Perky Ent · 04-29-2004, 04:43 PM

~*~NOTICE~*~ the end of april is drawing near, which means we will soon have our first winner for the month.

luthien-elvenprincess · 04-29-2004, 05:14 PM

Alright...for 4 points.

Where and when did Thorin Oakenshield first met Gandalf? By 'when', I mean month/day/year.

The Perky Ent · 04-29-2004, 05:41 PM

Do we need to know the day, month, and year, cause i can only find the place, year, and month. Not the date

The Perky Ent · 04-30-2004, 06:43 PM

Points Counted!

The Perky Ent · 05-01-2004, 05:35 PM

Thorongil · 05-06-2004, 12:02 AM

Oh, right. It's my turn. I haven't thought of something, so...
For 1 point, How many Durins were there?

So much for Firefoot's winning streak. Anyways, here's the first question for July, which I feel will be a short month. Anyways, I like doing questions like this:

For 1 point: John R. (can't spell his middle name) Davies send who to get a tattoo in his place?

***Gandalf*** · 07-21-2004, 07:35 PM

His stunt double?

The Perky Ent · 07-21-2004, 07:36 PM

Correct!

The Perky Ent · 07-27-2004, 05:14 PM

Yay! For 2 points, how long did the War of the Dwarves and the Orcs last?

Evisse the Blue · 07-28-2004, 03:14 AM

I bid 2 points and say 6 years.

The Perky Ent · 07-28-2004, 08:53 AM

Close, but no cigare! Sorry Evisse.

The Perky Ent · 07-29-2004, 11:05 AM

Thank you very much, Master Firefoot! Anyways, for 2 points, who's sirname is Ironfoot?

Firefoot · 07-29-2004, 11:59 AM

Master...? I'm a she.

2 points: Dain.

The Perky Ent · 07-29-2004, 12:02 PM

Correct, and sorry. Master just sounds right, Mistress doesn't. Hmm, what's a good name...I'll get back to you on that one!

The Perky Ent · 08-22-2004, 06:34 PM

Right! Next question! What was the song the orcs sang to the dwarves when they were up in the trees?

2 points

Firefoot · 08-22-2004, 06:48 PM

Two points:

Fifteen birds in five firtrees,
their feathers were fanned in a fiery breeze!
But, funny little birds, they had no wings!
O what shall we do with the funny little things?
Roast 'em alive, or stew them in a pot;
fry them, boil them and eat them hot?

Burn, burn tree and fern!
Shrivel and scorch! A fizzling torch
To light the night for our delight,
Ya hey!
Bake and toast 'em, fry and roast 'em!
till beards blaze, and eyes glaze;
till hair smells and skins crack,
fat melts, and bones black
in cinders lie
beneath the sky!
So dwarves shall die,
and light the night for our delight,
Ya hey!
Ya-harri-hey!
Ya hoy!

There were actually two songs so I combined them and provided both for your pleasure.

The Perky Ent · 08-22-2004, 07:03 PM

Yes Indeed! 2 points for you, then!

The Perky Ent · 08-26-2004, 06:09 PM

Alright! I'm back on track!

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?

Firefoot · 08-26-2004, 08:21 PM

2 points: second, after the Elves.

luthien-elvenprincess · 08-26-2004, 08:59 PM

for 2 points. THe dwarves were first in existence.

The Perky Ent · 08-31-2004, 06:10 PM

Points Tallied!

Firefoot · 08-31-2004, 08:56 PM

2 points: which of the Valar created Dwarves?

The Perky Ent · 08-31-2004, 09:33 PM

Easy! I bid 2 and say Aule!

The Perky Ent · 09-06-2004, 06:55 PM

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

Firefoot · 09-06-2004, 07:02 PM

3 points: 15?

The Perky Ent · 09-06-2004, 07:23 PM

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

The Perky Ent · 10-01-2004, 06:02 PM

Wha oh! We have a tie! Firefoot and SaucepanMan, you'll have to answer this question in order to become the winner for the month! The question is:

What is the first dwarf mentioned in "The Gathering of the Clouds"?

Firefoot · 10-01-2004, 08:05 PM
