Wasn't it: Baruk Khazad! Khazad Ai-menu! Meaning something like: The axes of the Dwarwes! The Dwarwes are upon you!

Fingolfin II · 04-15-2004, 03:13 AM

That was in the Appendix, but at the actual battle he's recorded as saying "Khazad! Khazad! Khazad ai-menu!"

I just realized you are both correct, in two different places, but the one Thorongil put was the one I was thinking of. But Thorongil didn't place a bid. Maybe the rules should be edited to say if you don't bid it's worth full points? So maybe the points are given to Thorongil but none are subtracted from Fingolfin's score because his answer was correct too?

yes, i'd say in this case Thorongil gets full points. But in the future, PLACE YOUR BID! OTHERWISE YOU CAN'T FOLLOW THE GAME!!!!!

but from now on, if you don't place your bid, i'll consider it that you never said anything.

Sure thing.

For 3 points: -Why was Thorin called Oakenshield?

The Perky Ent · 04-16-2004, 10:04 AM

I'll bid three points!

He was called Oakenshield because in the Battle of the Nanduhirion, Thorin marched into the battle with a great dwarf army, but during the course of the fighting his shield was broken. He then cut a bow from a great oak tree with his axe, and used the bough to stave off the orc's blows, and to club them.

3 points for you then.
