alaklondewen · 05-05-2003, 10:22 AM

Yes! Balin is correct...Please carry on when you have returned to safety from the unstable chandelier [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 05-10-2003, 12:42 PM

GaladOTO, it's your turn.

*Heaves the thread to the top*

Tinuviel Took · 05-20-2003, 02:16 AM

I believe it has been ten days from the last post, so I would like to try an easy one.

What color was the large notice on on Bilbo's gate?

Eruanna · 05-20-2003, 11:21 AM

It was a large notice in black and red. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tinuviel Took · 05-20-2003, 03:08 PM

Eruanna's turn.

Eruanna · 05-20-2003, 03:41 PM

Thank you. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

How long did Bilbo and company stay in Rivendell on their outward journey?

They stayed long in that good house, fourteen days at least

Eruanna · 05-21-2003, 11:31 AM

Indeedy...your go. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tinuviel Took · 05-26-2003, 10:46 AM

Someone else go, as I just lent my copy of the Hobbit to a friend who can't find hers.

Liriodendron · 05-26-2003, 05:36 PM

Who showed Thorin the Arkenstone?

Finwe · 05-26-2003, 05:40 PM

Bilbo, I believe?

elven maiden Earwen · 05-26-2003, 05:42 PM

Bard wasn't it? Or Thranduil?

Liriodendron · 05-26-2003, 05:44 PM

No..try again! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

alaklondewen · 05-26-2003, 06:09 PM

It was Gandalf who was cloaked and hooded as an old man.

Finwe · 05-26-2003, 06:17 PM

No one showed it to him, he saw it himself.

(I'm wondering if this is a trick question.)

Liriodendron · 05-26-2003, 06:21 PM

Now Finwe, I would never ask a "trick" question! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] A specific, and interesting "someone" literally "showed" the Arkenstone to Thorin! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

alaklondewen · 05-26-2003, 09:14 PM

Did you see my answer? I really do think it was Gandalf.

Liriodendron · 05-26-2003, 09:23 PM

Yes! Gandalf (the old man) sorry, I didn't scroll back enough to see your answer! Gandalf (disguised) carried the wooden box, and opened it. Your question Alaklondenwen!

alaklondewen · 05-26-2003, 09:35 PM

Thank you, Liriodendron!

What was the title given to the political authority in Dale?

Samwise Gamgee · 05-27-2003, 04:54 PM

It's just king, right?

Samwise Gamgee · 05-27-2003, 05:40 PM

OOPS! - I know now that it is master - right?

sorry about first reply - I was a little confused

alaklondewen · 05-27-2003, 06:27 PM

Good! And Welcome to the Downs, Samwise Gamgee! It is now your turn to ask the question. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Samwise Gamgee · 05-28-2003, 07:33 PM

OK - I'm not that good at the hobbit - AAHHH!

Well, here's one:

What did the eagle tell Bilbo he "rather looked like?"

Nerindel · 05-29-2003, 04:51 AM

A rabbit [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Samwise Gamgee · 06-03-2003, 04:48 PM

Yup - i thought that was probably too easy!

Nerindel · 06-03-2003, 05:01 PM

What did Bilbo twice ask Gandalf for?
[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Samwise Gamgee · 06-03-2003, 05:31 PM

a handkerchief?

Nerindel · 06-03-2003, 05:46 PM

No [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] try again [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 06-03-2003, 07:36 PM

His pardon?

Nerindel · 06-04-2003, 01:36 AM

It sure was [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Your go Beren87 [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 06-04-2003, 06:35 PM

Call me Beren, please. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

After Bilbo had escaped from the goblins, what things had he lost?

Nerindel · 06-04-2003, 06:54 PM

Ok Beren [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

His nice brass buttons [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 06-04-2003, 06:59 PM

Hmm...quite a bit more. He lists a few things.

Nerindel · 06-04-2003, 07:05 PM

ok

Hood, pony, cloak, food, buttons and friends [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Samwise Gamgee · 06-04-2003, 07:10 PM

matches - as he discovered in gollums cave, dwarves, wizard, and his way, - as he told gollum

hood, cloak food pony buttons and friends when he finally left the mountains

Nerindel · 06-04-2003, 07:22 PM

heheh I forgot about that [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img], he was searching for them so he could light his pipe wasn't he?

Beren87 · 06-05-2003, 09:52 AM

Samwise

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 06-05-2003, 10:01 AM

Please continue this game in a new thread. I am closing the long ones in an effort to conserve bandwidth.

Thanks!

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 06-08-2003, 01:28 AM

The Hobbit Trivia thread was closed due to its length. And since I rather liked that thread, I wanted to make sure it didn't get forgotten. We can continue here.

Samwise_Gamgee, it was your turn to ask.

Sophia
