odd item out - Page 3 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Tar-Palantir · 03-10-2003, 01:11 PM

Estanesse- They need to be items from the stories of Tolkien, ok?

Estanesse · 03-10-2003, 01:14 PM

They are

Tar-Palantir · 03-10-2003, 01:23 PM

shield
lance
Knife
sword

Who used a lance?

Estanesse · 03-10-2003, 01:41 PM

That is what you have to guess [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
It’s not fun if I give the answer

But I can give a hint if you want

Gil-Galad · 03-10-2003, 04:52 PM

i think what he kinda means that you have to be more specific like Anduril and such becasue just basic things would throw us off and was it lance becasue none were used in wotr or at all for that matter

Tar-Palantir · 03-10-2003, 05:09 PM

I guess I'll bite this time...

Guess #1- A lance is the only weapon not used in the books. Only a mounted fighter can use a lance - which basically rules out everybody but Oromë and the Rohirrim, and neither of them used a lance.

Guess #2- A shield is the only non-weapon.

Estanesse · 03-11-2003, 05:53 AM

There is no right answer yet

I will give a hint

shield
lance
Knife
sword
and a helm

I’m looking for a person who wears 4 out of 5

Gil-Galad · 03-11-2003, 07:46 PM

Arargorn never had a lance but he had the rest so lance

elven maiden Earwen · 03-11-2003, 07:56 PM

Turin because he never had a lance

Annunfuiniel · 03-12-2003, 02:34 AM

A knife; Gil-Galad bore all the others except a knife. His spear (or lance) Aeglos is mentioned in the Silmarillion and the other gear in The Fall of Gil-Galad (Sam recites the first lines of it in the FoTR).

Estanesse · 03-12-2003, 04:07 AM

You’re correct Annunfuiniel

They are all mentioned (one exeption the knife) in The Fall of Gil-Galad

His sword was long, his lance was keen,
his shining helm afar was seen:
the countless stars of heaven's field
were mirrored in his silver shield.

Annunfuiniel · 03-12-2003, 08:32 AM

Oh, wheehee! But alas, empty-headedness caught me again! So this will be too easy but please bear with me...

Anduril
Glamdring
Gandalf's staff
Gimli's axe
Legolas' bow

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-12-2003, 09:51 AM

Gandalf's staff was the only item not handed to Hama at the door of Meduseld in Edoras.

Annunfuiniel · 03-12-2003, 09:57 AM

Yes indeed! What did I tell you? Too easy!
[img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Well, if I know The Saucepan Man at all the next one may be quite the opposite... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-12-2003, 07:01 PM

Hmm. Whenever I think I've set an easy one, no-one gets it for ages ... and when I think it's difficult, the answer's found straight away! [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

How about these:

Drum
Fiddle
Flute
Harp
Horn

Annunfuiniel · 03-13-2003, 12:06 AM

I don't recall anyone playing a fiddle in Tolkien's M-E books. So, is it a fiddle?

lathspell · 03-13-2003, 03:31 AM

I don't recall the flute or the harp either.

Maybe...
Horn - It's the only musical instrument carried by the Fellowship

Malva Headstrong · 03-13-2003, 12:10 PM

Horn - not played by the dwarves in Bilbo´s hole
or
Horn - the only instrument played in LotR (of the others is only spoken)

Gil-Galad · 03-13-2003, 06:20 PM

fiddle becasue the rest were played at the comign of Elessar into Minas Tirith

(Harps came from Dol Amroth and so on)

cookie_crazy · 03-14-2003, 03:34 AM

I would definitely say horn, it wasn't played in Bilbo's hole, and it was the only one blown/played in LOTR.

alquadae · 03-14-2003, 04:47 AM

A lance was the one thing not carried on the quest

alquadae · 03-14-2003, 04:50 AM

oops sorry half the page didn't come up till i posted

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-14-2003, 10:18 AM

Malva Headstrong got it first - the Horn is the only instrument not played by the Dwarves at the Unexpected Party at Bag End.

I think it was Fili and Kili on the Fiddles. There were Clarinets and Viols too. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Your turn, Malva ...

Malva Headstrong · 03-14-2003, 10:27 AM

Good, here you are (and I hope, it´s not too easy):

belt
helm
horn
jerkin of leather
knife
pony
round shield
sword

[ March 14, 2003: Message edited by: Malva Headstrong ]

Salix · 03-14-2003, 10:30 AM

The pony was the only one not carried by the fellowship? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] (emphasis on carried)

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-14-2003, 10:40 AM

The pony was the only item not used by Boromir. Or, on a similar line of thought, it was the only thing that did not accompany him on his final journey over the Falls of Rauros.

Malva Headstrong · 03-14-2003, 10:47 AM

No, it has nothing to do with Boromir. He was dead for quite a while when these items were mentioned.

[ March 14, 2003: Message edited by: Malva Headstrong ]

Annunfuiniel · 03-14-2003, 11:19 AM

These are all items that Merry possessed, exept the pony.

Malva Headstrong · 03-14-2003, 02:14 PM

Very close, but wrong.

Annunfuiniel · 03-14-2003, 02:16 PM

The sword was the only item Merry didn't get from Rohan?

Malva Headstrong · 03-14-2003, 02:18 PM

Right! Go on

lathspell · 03-14-2003, 02:27 PM

Sam has had all things except the Horn.

Malva Headstrong · 03-14-2003, 02:29 PM

Annunfuiniel solved this already

Annunfuiniel · 03-14-2003, 03:04 PM

Thank thee, Malva! That was a good one (though someone might argue that the poor pony is no item [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ).
Yes, back to business:

Arkenstone
Elendilmir
Palantír
Silmaril

Estanesse · 03-14-2003, 03:44 PM

Arkenstone
There is only one Arkenstone
Or is it because the Arkenstone isn't destroyed or lost.

lathspell · 03-14-2003, 03:54 PM

Oops, sorry, didn't see the 'Right, go on!' message.

Arkenstone is the only one not to be made by Elves, I believe.

Annunfuiniel · 03-15-2003, 02:22 AM

You're both right but I was looking for the answer that Estanesse gave; there was only one Arkenstone others were many.
So, please do continue, Estanesse! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Estanesse · 03-16-2003, 09:44 AM

Thanks Annunfuiniel

Palantiri
Ring of Barahir
Anguirel
Mirror of Galadriel

Faenaduial · 03-16-2003, 02:21 PM

Anguirel. The only item that is a weapon and the only item to used to slay the person who weilded it.

Estanesse · 03-16-2003, 03:27 PM

No that's not it [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
