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 Saucepan Man** · 04-30-2004, 07:30 AM

Thanks.

For 3 points, name Mîm's sons.

I bid three points... Khim & Ibun.

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-30-2004, 07:46 AM

Sorry Thorongil, but samwise8504 got there first. And samwise, you didn't place a bid which, according to the Perky Ent's rules, means that you get minimum points for the question, ie 1 point. But you do get to ask the next one.

(Perky Ent: I think that you should add the rules on the consequences of not bidding to your first post on this thread.)

samwise8504 · 04-30-2004, 07:50 AM

ok for 3 points, name the two dwarves who were slain by azog

Thorongil · 04-30-2004, 08:02 AM

samwise8504 · 04-30-2004, 08:05 AM

correct thorongil but you didnt bid any points

The Perky Ent · 04-30-2004, 06:43 PM

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

April's Winner is...

Thorongil · 05-06-2004, 12:02 AM

Oh, right. It's my turn. I haven't thought of something, so...
