5. What sort of creature lost it's golden collar to Huan?
(HoME)

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-22-2004, 09:12 PM

A cat? Tevildo the devil-do cat, to be exact.

6. What creature's teeth were said to be "hard to come by"?

Firefoot · 11-23-2004, 06:55 AM

A hurried guess before I leave...

Scatha the Worm's?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 11-24-2004, 01:56 AM

Dragons'?

Lindolirian · 11-25-2004, 08:11 PM

Sorry Nil, Firefoot's was more correct.

7. Dairon's curse was said to have affected the birds of Doriath and also these creatures.

And yes, that spelling of 'Dairon' was on purpose. It's a bit of a hint...

Firefoot · 11-25-2004, 08:25 PM

Bees.

Lindolirian · 11-28-2004, 04:00 PM

Of course.

8. Glaurung compared an Elf with a particularly weighty hand to what kind of creature?

Firefoot · 11-28-2004, 04:17 PM

A vole.

Lindolirian · 11-28-2004, 05:09 PM

Y'know, I try to find some time when Firefoot isn't online to give the other folks a chance, but nooo! Firefoot's just too quick and witty for that.

I'm just kidding with you...

Well, you answer 'em faster than I can think of 'em, so I'll be back.

9. What creature was it that cried in the same place that Morgoth let loose his greatest cry, but this one was only audible to the ears of the "immortal Man"?

Gil-Galad · 11-30-2004, 07:41 PM

hmm...i keep thinking Ungoliant....

Lindolirian · 11-30-2004, 07:42 PM

Keep thinking... the immortal Man is the biggest clue.

**The Saucepan Man** · 11-30-2004, 08:28 PM

Are you thinking of the "great gulls beloved of the Teleri" whose cries Tuor heard at the Firth of Drengist?

Lindolirian · 11-30-2004, 08:41 PM

I am, but sorry Saucepan, it only sealed the win for Firefoot.

Final Scores:
Firefoot- 4
Nilpaurion- 2
Saucepan- 2
NightKnight-1
The thread is yours, Firefoot!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-03-2004, 02:58 AM

I just knew that typhoon was part of a conspiracy to keep me away so I won't have the chance to tie with Firefoot.

*silence*

Nah, she deserved it . . .

Firefoot · 12-03-2004, 03:18 PM

Thank'ee.

The next topic is Roads, Trails, and Passes.

1. Along what trail might you find a multitude of wasted arrows?

Gil-Galad · 12-03-2004, 06:09 PM

along the gladden fields? where Isildurs men cut down? or maybe its Boromirs dieing spot...

Firefoot · 12-03-2004, 06:35 PM

Neither. It's a specific trail.

Lindolirian · 12-03-2004, 07:17 PM

The Road near the Guarded Plain on which Orleg was shot down, but Túrin escaped.

Firefoot · 12-04-2004, 05:14 PM

Nada.

Firefoot · 12-08-2004, 02:56 PM

Hint: It's not in the Sil or UT. And it has an actual name.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-09-2004, 09:43 PM

Anywhen, is the answer the Old Dwarf road, where Thorin's companions wasted their arrows shooting a white deer?

Firefoot · 12-10-2004, 06:07 AM

Good.

Nil - 1

2. According to Bilbo, what three places can be reached using the same road as is in the Shire?

Lindolirian · 12-10-2004, 09:53 PM

Mirkwood, the Lonely Mountain and futher to even worse places!

By the way... snazzy new avvie, Firefoot.

Firefoot · 12-11-2004, 07:15 AM

Correct and thanks.

Nil - 1
Lindo - 1

3. What pass is dark and smelly?

Evisse the Blue · 12-11-2004, 07:40 AM

Cirith Ungol

Firefoot · 12-11-2004, 11:10 AM

Nil - 1
Lindo - 1
Evisse - 1

4. If you take the road west from the place where the white flowers are like stars, where is your first stop?

Gil-Galad · 12-11-2004, 11:44 AM

Banks of the Anduin, or maybe even Dol Guldur

Firefoot · 12-11-2004, 11:54 AM

No. (And I think that would be going east, not west)

Gil-Galad · 12-11-2004, 11:55 AM

woops my bad...heh... then wouldn't it be the East-gate of Moria?

Firefoot · 12-11-2004, 04:41 PM

Nope - the flowers aren't in Lorien.

Rochelle · 12-11-2004, 05:15 PM

Hmm... Possibly Beleriand? Or even Ithilien.

Evisse the Blue · 12-12-2004, 01:42 PM

Dunharrow?

Firefoot · 12-12-2004, 02:14 PM

Good guesses, but no.

Since the question was somewhat vague, a hint: at this place there are several directions on which you could take the road.

Lindolirian · 12-12-2004, 03:14 PM

Due west from the Cross-roads would take one to the east bank of Anduin north of Osgiliath, but if you follow the road, which is more southwest, it goes to Osgiliath.

Firefoot · 12-12-2004, 04:10 PM

Lindo - 2
Nil - 1
Evisse - 1

5. What was the name of the pass through the Defense?

Rochelle · 12-12-2004, 05:42 PM

Hmm both Cirith Gorgor and Cirith Ungol are passes through the defenses of Mordor

Firefoot · 12-12-2004, 05:45 PM

Nope - the capitol "D" is a hint.

Flittermouse · 12-12-2004, 05:49 PM

Perhaps the Pass of Anach in the Defense against Morgoth in Beleriand?
