Slain Game - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Legolas · 10-08-2002, 11:50 AM

A relatively easy game.

State the name of a character who is slain in Tolkien's works, and the rest of us try to think of who slayed them and if location is given, where they were slain.

I'll start with one that's not-so-hard.

Finwë

Rimbaud · 10-08-2002, 12:44 PM

By Melkor, before the doors of Formenos in Valinor. Melkor stole the Silmarils at this time.

Ancalagon the Black.

Legolas · 10-08-2002, 12:59 PM

Eärendil, over the towers of Thangorodrim.

Rimbaud · 10-08-2002, 01:03 PM

Indeed, sir.

Legolas · 10-08-2002, 03:04 PM

Draugluin

Telchar · 10-08-2002, 03:06 PM

Slain in battle with Huan hound of Valinor on Tol in Gauhort

Rimbaud · 10-08-2002, 03:10 PM

Drauglin was knocked off by Huan, Hound of Valinor, if I remember correctly. Another nasty dog-fight...

[ October 08, 2002: Message edited by: Rimbaud ]

Legolas · 10-08-2002, 03:12 PM

Indeed. Draugluin was mortally wounded, and returned to the high tower where Sauron watched. There he died at his master's feet.

Your turn, Telchar.

Telchar · 10-08-2002, 03:16 PM

Gelmir (my favorite)

Telchar · 10-08-2002, 03:22 PM

And on a side note I thin Scatha the worm was killed by Fram Lord of the Northmen - who afterwards send the Worms/dragons teeth to the dwarwes as an insult .... Its still Gelmir.

Legolas · 10-08-2002, 03:48 PM

The riders with tokens sent out by one of Morgoth's commanders and the heralds of Morgoth in front of Eithel Sirion. They did a really bad number on him, too!

Telchar · 10-08-2002, 04:03 PM

Yep poor Gelmir [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Legolas · 10-08-2002, 04:08 PM

Azaghâl

Turambar · 10-08-2002, 04:48 PM

Glaurung ?

Legolas · 10-08-2002, 05:46 PM

When or where?

Legolas · 10-08-2002, 07:50 PM

No, the person being slain is Azaghâl.

Glaraung is the answer, of course, given by Turambar. He needs to give me the when or where part, and then he can proceed to posing his own question.

Eruhen · 10-09-2002, 06:20 AM

Can I answer? I know the full answer. Pleeeeeeeeaaaase????????

Turambar · 10-09-2002, 12:24 PM

He was killed in the Nirnaeth, not sure exactly where.

Sorry for not reading the rules !

Legolas · 10-09-2002, 09:34 PM

That is sufficient. Continue!

gralin musicteeth · 10-11-2002, 10:58 AM

Isildur?

Turambar · 10-11-2002, 11:52 AM

Mîm the petty dwarf -- by whom and where ?

[ October 11, 2002: Message edited by: Turambar ]

Susan Delgado · 10-11-2002, 01:29 PM

Deservedly killed by Hurin in Nargothrond.

Turambar · 10-18-2002, 10:56 AM

Correct !! Sorry I'm late in verifying.

Susan Delgado · 10-19-2002, 02:25 AM

okelly dokelly

Durelan (I think that's his name, but I don't have my book with me to be certain)

Telchar · 10-19-2002, 04:16 PM

Are you thinking about Duilin of Morthond, who (along with his brother) was tramped to death by mumakil on the Battle of the Pelennor Field.?

[ October 19, 2002: Message edited by: Telchar ]

Susan Delgado · 10-19-2002, 08:13 PM

No, that's not whom I meant. He's in the Silm.

edit: I found his name at last: it's Daeron I'm thinking of.

[ October 20, 2002: Message edited by: Susan Delgado ]

Telchar · 10-22-2002, 12:31 AM

Ahh Tricksy Susan [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] - If this is 'by who and whare', I say by nobody and nowhere...

Susan Delgado · 10-24-2002, 01:49 PM

You are correct, Master Dwarf [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Telchar · 10-25-2002, 04:09 AM

Theoden

Turambar · 10-25-2002, 02:07 PM

Snowmane I guess . . .

Telchar · 10-25-2002, 04:09 PM

ohh yes [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Turambar · 10-29-2002, 03:30 PM

Bolg the orc (son of Azog).

Telchar · 10-31-2002, 02:32 AM

He was killed in the Battle of Five Armies by Beorn

Turambar · 10-31-2002, 10:39 AM

Yep !!

Telchar · 11-01-2002, 03:26 AM

Gorbag

Lindolirian · 11-29-2002, 07:24 PM

Stabbed in the throat by Shagrat.

Legolas · 12-04-2002, 12:16 AM

Verification, Telchar?

Legolas · 12-10-2002, 11:06 PM

Well, just go ahead, Lindolirian. Telchar is missing in action.

Legolas · 12-13-2002, 10:38 AM

Or I shall go, I suppose.

Carcharoth

Pallando B.C · 12-15-2002, 06:51 PM

Huan, the Hound of Valinor.

Carcharoth slew him in the process, which is a shame because Huan was pretty enjoyable to read......
