Right-o

How would your shadow look if seen in full sunlight with the one ring on?

Wouldn't you not have a shadow, Beren, since you were wearing the One Ring?

Well, that's my answer. Am I right, or no?

Nope, it isn't a trick question. It states clearly in The Hobbit as to how it looks.

I can find a place or two where it is said he has a shadow, but no description. On page 99 of my book it says:
Quote:
Suddenly one of the goblins inside shouted: "There is a shadow by the door. Something is outside!"
while Biblo is stuck in the door trying to escape from deep under the Misty Mountains. Good question there!

I hates Gollum. I hates him. He doesnt' really cheat ON the riddles does he? He never asked an unfair riddle, he was however going to eat Bilbo no matter the riddle game winner.

Oh yes he does, and he gets away with it even though it is plain and simple cheating. Gollum's a bad boy!

He guessed four times on the "pockets riddle" which counts as cheating...plus never intending to keep his part of the deal.

Allright Beren87, I found the goblins delight...ingenious devices for killing large numbers of people at once, for wheels and engines and explosions.

Question

In the backdoor tunnel, after Balin leaves,when all sign of the secret door fades,as he begins to hear the "pot bubbling", "gigantic tomcat purring" sound of the snoring Smaug!?

Where did Bilbo and the Dwarves travel after Rivendell?

(Sorry if it's too easy. I think we have kind of worn out this topic. I'm not sure what to ask for fear that it has been asked before!)

When you said Misty Mountains you were partially correct. I need a more specific answer.

Ok, here's what I really meant:

Where in the Misty Mountains did Bilbo, the dwarves and Gandalf travel after they left Rivendell? What (not whom) did they encounter?

Not laketown, not Beorn's house.

Since you are asking 'what', I say it was the thunderbattle. And saw the stone-giants tossing boulders.

Well, yes. I was kind of thinking about the encounter with the goblins as being the next major part in the story.

Sorry if I wasn't clear!
