Dwarf Jeopardy - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

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

I bid one point - There were seven.

Firefoot · 04-18-2004, 06:46 AM

Yes.

NightKnight · 04-18-2004, 06:49 AM

For 2 points - What were the dwarven cities in the Blue Mountains called?

The Perky Ent · 04-18-2004, 08:19 PM

Well first off, -1 point for Bombadil for getting it wrong, and 1 point for firefoot and nightknight! And btw, congrats on reaching over 1,000 posts nightknight.

Now, for the question! I'll bid 2 points and say Nogrod and Belegost!

The Perky Ent · 04-29-2004, 04:43 PM

The points have been counted.

~*~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 Saucepan Man** · 04-29-2004, 06:18 PM

... and say 15 March, 2941 (Third Age) in an inn at Bree (although the Unfinished Tales has them meeting on the road to Bree). The name of the inn is not specified, but it was quite likely the Prancing Pony.

luthien-elvenprincess · 04-30-2004, 07:16 AM

Correct

The Perky Ent · 04-30-2004, 06:43 PM

Points Counted!

The Perky Ent · 05-01-2004, 05:35 PM

Well, the points have been counted, and...

April's Winner is...

~*~ Firefoot ~*~

Congradulations Firefoot! Now the month of May starts. We start from scratch! It is currently Thorongil's turn!

Way to play the game!

I look foward to seeing you next month!

The Perky Ent · 05-05-2004, 06:34 PM

...Thorongil?

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?

NightKnight · 05-06-2004, 01:25 AM

I bid one point, and say 7.

Thorongil · 05-06-2004, 07:12 AM

Then one point for you.

The Perky Ent · 05-07-2004, 04:06 PM

Kath · 05-11-2004, 11:12 AM

Grrr stupid message didn't get through . . . again!
Ok a question:
For two points how many dwarves went with Balin to retake Moria?

NightKnight · 05-11-2004, 11:33 AM

I bid two points, and say unknown. We know of six plus Balin: Ori, Oin, Floi, Frar, Loni and Nali.

The Perky Ent · 05-16-2004, 08:02 AM

...Kath...

The Perky Ent · 07-14-2004, 08:47 PM

Right! 2 more points for me! That means...the June 04 winner is...

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!

***Gandalf*** · 07-21-2004, 08:06 PM

For 4 points, who are the "we" the riddle refers to?

The Riddle: Both times we came first, and fought the first when we could

The Perky Ent · 07-21-2004, 08:07 PM

I'll bid 4 points and say the Petty Dwarves. They were created first, and came to Beleriand before the elves, and attacked the first born whenever they could at night.

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.

Thorongil · 07-28-2004, 12:02 PM

I bid two points: Nine years.

The Perky Ent · 07-28-2004, 01:23 PM

2 for Thorongil!

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!

Firefoot · 07-29-2004, 12:14 PM

I await your decision.

Three points: what was the name of the crow that helped the Dwarves in The Hobbit?

Evisse the Blue · 07-29-2004, 12:47 PM

I bid 3 points and say Roäc.

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.
