Make a fire in the rain?
So are you saying that this was before they met Beorn?

Ophelia · 06-08-2004, 02:37 PM

That is exactly what I am saying . Keep looking . I have updatet the hints , so it could help more . Hope you shall have luck !

Ophelia

Orcrist · 06-08-2004, 02:47 PM

He couldn't skin and cut the meat because he was used to having it delivered by the butcher.

Ophelia · 06-08-2004, 02:58 PM

Finally ! The medal and the chance to give the next question goes to Orcrist !

Ophe-

Orcrist · 06-09-2004, 09:35 AM

What kind of magic do hobbits have?

Ophelia · 06-09-2004, 09:56 AM

None , if not to take the ability of quietly and swiftly disapearing , when there is a need , as a magic .

Ophelia

Orcrist · 06-09-2004, 10:13 AM

It think you got it. The quote is "They have little or no magic about them, except the ordinary everyday sort of magic that helps them to disappear quietly and quickly..."If that's what you meant then go ahead.

Ophelia · 06-09-2004, 10:19 AM

Aha , it was but it is very hard to translate the "unique" terms used in the book I have (translated in my native language) . But that was the same one .
After the last one being so hard , I`ll give a very easy one :
Why are all the good rooms of a hobbit hole placed on the left side ?

OphElia

NightKnight · 06-09-2004, 12:12 PM

Because they have windows?

What's your native language?

Ophelia · 06-09-2004, 01:08 PM

You are correct ! Go ahead with the next question .
My native language is the very specific and complicated language of latvians . No offence is taken if you know nought of the existance of such a land .

Ophelia

NightKnight · 06-09-2004, 02:57 PM

Sure I do, it's just across the Baltic Sea from here.

(I live in Sweden, BTW.)

Why could Bard understand the thrush?

Orcrist · 06-09-2004, 03:32 PM

He was descended from a line of men from Dale who could understand the thrush.

NightKnight · 06-09-2004, 03:45 PM

And which line was that?

Orcrist · 06-09-2004, 09:52 PM

The exact quote is "Marvelling, he found he could understand its tongue, for he was of the race of Dale." Good enough?

luthien-elvenprincess · 06-10-2004, 05:16 PM

Bard was of the line of Girion.

NightKnight · 06-10-2004, 06:02 PM

Actually, I don't have the book, so I didn't know that that was the quote. But Luthien gave the answer I wanted, so I guess one of you should go.

Orcrist · 06-12-2004, 11:53 AM

Name the three trolls

Firefoot · 06-12-2004, 12:03 PM

Bert, Tom, William (Bill)

Orcrist · 06-12-2004, 04:42 PM

Yep!

Firefoot · 06-12-2004, 05:01 PM

How many armed guards did the Great Goblin have?

Orcrist · 06-14-2004, 05:50 PM

No idea. I can't even find it in the book.

Firefoot · 06-14-2004, 09:36 PM

Hint: It isn't in the chapters Over Hill and Under Hill or Riddles in the Dark.

Orcrist · 06-14-2004, 09:43 PM

I think I figured that out already

When you say the Great Goblin, do you mean the one who was killed by Gandalf or the one present at the Battle of Five Armies?

Firefoot · 06-15-2004, 04:59 AM

The one killed by Gandalf.

Ophelia · 06-15-2004, 10:18 AM

I have to admit - all I found of the count of the goblin guards is :
six to one Dwarf and there were still 2 left for the hobbit . It makes 80 goblins .

Ophelia

Firefoot · 06-15-2004, 11:18 AM

No, it specifically says somewhere that there were a certain number of guards.

Hint: Look in places where they were looking back on their journey.

Carnimírië · 06-15-2004, 11:26 AM

There were thirty or forty armed guards according to Gandalf in "Queer Lodgings."

Firefoot · 06-15-2004, 12:38 PM

That's what I was looking for. Go ahead!

Carnimírië · 06-15-2004, 12:45 PM

What, according to Bilbo, was the "...dreariest and dullest part of all this wretched, tiresome, uncomfortable adventure"?

Firefoot · 06-15-2004, 01:10 PM

Hiding in the Elvenking's halls.

Carnimírië · 06-15-2004, 01:25 PM

Right again, Firefoot!

Firefoot · 06-15-2004, 02:16 PM

What is the Carrock and why is it called that?

Sirithheruwen · 06-15-2004, 02:29 PM

Carrock=a great rock
Carrock is the word for it.

Firefoot · 06-15-2004, 02:29 PM

Yep.

Sirithheruwen · 06-16-2004, 10:52 AM

Thank you.

After the goblins ended their "horrible song," what did they tell Thorin & Co. (plus Gandalf) to do?

Firefoot · 06-16-2004, 11:12 AM

Fly away.

Sirithheruwen · 06-16-2004, 01:09 PM

Yes.

Firefoot · 06-16-2004, 01:30 PM

What color handkerchief did Bilbo borrow from Elrond?

Kath · 06-16-2004, 01:56 PM

A red one.

Firefoot · 06-16-2004, 01:59 PM

Yes.

Ironically enough, in that same line it says none of Bilbo's had survived, and yet it also says that he forgot it when he left.
