03-08-2002, 09:32 AM

I have counted 31 precious'. Am I way off??

Telchar · 03-11-2002, 03:50 AM

I count 33 - no more no less!!!

Mat_Heathertoes · 03-11-2002, 08:50 AM

My count was 33 too which was recounted 3 times to make sure.

Telchar · 03-11-2002, 09:11 AM

... actually I had my computer do it for me... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Telchar · 03-11-2002, 09:25 AM

Mat_Heathertoes · 03-11-2002, 09:55 AM

Tea is at four

Telchar · 03-11-2002, 10:23 AM

Since we will be doing the chapter-by-chapter Hobbit shortly, perhaps this is a good thread to revive.

Alright.....

Where was this sung and by whom?

The wind was on the withered heath,
but in the forest stirred no leaf:
there shadows lay by night and day,
and dark things silent crept beneath.

Child of the 7th Age · 01-11-2006, 08:58 AM

Bump and hint....

"Queer Lodgings"....

Kath · 01-11-2006, 09:11 AM

It was the Dwarves in Beorn's house.

Child of the 7th Age · 01-12-2006, 07:36 PM

Yes, Kath. The floor is yours....

Kath · 01-13-2006, 04:18 PM

Thanks.

The day after the battle with the spiders, how many of the remaining members of the group believed that the direction they were going in was the correct one?

Firefoot · 01-13-2006, 04:59 PM

Eight of thirteen.

Kath · 01-13-2006, 05:23 PM

Correct of course.

Firefoot · 01-13-2006, 07:26 PM

How many sets of ponies did the Dwarves go through on their way to Erebor?

Thinlómien · 01-21-2006, 02:09 AM

Three?

Firefoot · 01-21-2006, 11:42 PM

That's right.

Thinlómien · 01-22-2006, 03:41 AM

Who of the dwarves played violin?

Kath · 01-22-2006, 11:21 AM

Dwalin and Balin?

Thinlómien · 01-25-2006, 09:04 AM

NNNNNNNNNnnnnnnnnnnnnnni. (No.)

Kath · 01-25-2006, 02:34 PM

Oh! Fili and Kili?

Thinlómien · 01-26-2006, 09:43 AM

You got it correct this time, Kath. May the thread be yours.

Kath · 01-26-2006, 11:40 AM

Thanks! Read the thing wrong first time

What did the dwarves offer Gandalf if he would stay with them during the journey through Mirkwood.

Firefoot · 01-26-2006, 03:40 PM

A share of their gold, I believe.

Kath · 01-26-2006, 04:54 PM

Um, well, yes but I'm looking for something a little more specific.

Firefoot · 01-26-2006, 05:03 PM

Dragon gold and silver and jewels.

Kath · 01-26-2006, 05:30 PM

That's the bunny! Sorry for making you work

Firefoot · 01-27-2006, 06:24 PM

Sure you are...

How was the path to Rivendell marked?

Kath · 01-27-2006, 06:28 PM

Would I lie to you

It was marked with white stones.

Firefoot · 01-27-2006, 07:04 PM

Oh, never.

Kath · 01-27-2006, 07:11 PM

When speaking of how little of the treasure he would give to Bard and his men, what food item did Thorin compare the amount to?

Alchisiel · 01-28-2006, 03:51 PM

Looking it up in my book.........a loaf's worth?

Kath · 01-28-2006, 04:31 PM

That's the one! Go ahead Alchisiel.

Alchisiel · 01-29-2006, 12:02 PM

What color was Thorin's hood and what was it decorated with?

Firefoot · 01-29-2006, 01:15 PM

Light blue with a silver tassel.

Alchisiel · 01-29-2006, 07:21 PM

Correct! The floor is yours!

Firefoot · 01-29-2006, 08:24 PM

What types of weapons were used against the spiders?

Kath · 01-30-2006, 05:19 PM

Swords, stones, knives and sticks.

Firefoot · 01-30-2006, 05:21 PM
