What did the Woodmen believe Gollum to be?

nasty creature.

Sophia

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-30-2003, 01:22 PM

Indeed. You are correct, Sophia. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-02-2003, 12:28 AM

Approximately (fairly rough estimations accepted) how many years passed between when Isildur lost the ring and Gollum found it?

Airehiriel · 05-02-2003, 07:29 AM

2,500 years?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-02-2003, 08:35 AM

hm... *pondering* little less approximate please...

Anything but Arwen · 05-03-2003, 12:52 PM

2,453....

Mind you, I did look in the Tale of Years...

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-03-2003, 03:40 PM

[img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] ok... I should have taken it the first time, then... *blushes* I had done the math wrong (why does this seem to be a habit with me?)

Wolf Larson · 05-12-2003, 01:09 PM

9 Days we have waited for your question. I will try one then.

In Bilbo's first story he told of finding the ring what was the answer to Gollum's riddle "This thing all things devours"?

No reason to do that, just post it here. Games should be kept in thread if all possible. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-12-2003, 05:19 PM

The answer to the riddle was Time.

But I'll have to look it up to give you the full riddle. Ah yes, here it is:

This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.

Wolf Larson · 05-13-2003, 05:08 AM

Well done. (And the EC was intended to be funny.) You have for the work this: Well done. Go ahead.

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-13-2003, 06:57 PM

What is thought to have happened to Smeagol's people?

lathspell · 05-14-2003, 02:09 PM

They moved over the Mountains, I believe

greetings,
lathspell

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-14-2003, 04:53 PM

Yes, it was thought that they may have fled the Shadow of Dol Guldur ...

... But that's only half of the answer. There is another possible fate ascribed to them. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

lathspell · 05-15-2003, 03:01 AM

They moved over the mountains and of them came the founders of the Shire?

A guess

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-15-2003, 06:07 PM

Yes, but there is still another possible fate ...

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-19-2003, 07:10 PM

Hint: If they didn't flee, what might have happened to them?

Beren87 · 05-21-2003, 05:58 PM

They were massacred? or went more-or-less extinct?

I know where the answer is, I'm just too lazy to look. =P

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-22-2003, 06:17 AM

Correct, Beren. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I believe it's in one of the footnotes to the chapter on Sauron searching for the Ring in the UT.

Beren87 · 05-22-2003, 08:04 PM

Go me. =P

Why did Gandalf think Gollum may be uneeded after their search for him was initially unsuccesful?

arcticstorm · 05-02-2005, 04:50 PM

He thought of a test by which the ring could tell if it was the 1 ring which after research he decided was to throw it in fire.

Lindolirian · 05-02-2005, 04:57 PM

Beren87 hasn't been online for four months and the question is two years old. You can probably just go ahead and take the question.

arcticstorm · 05-02-2005, 07:29 PM

ok,
How many fellowship members did Gollum probably come in contact with directly, and name them.

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-02-2005, 07:40 PM

I cannot resist trying an answer:

Aragorn - who captured him;
Gandalf - who questioned him;
Legolas - who guarded him;
Frodo - who was guided by him;
Sam - who quarreled with him.

So 5 of the 9?
