Oh man, why did I come in here last night after everyone left? I made several post and none of them make any sense. My aplolgies to everyone in PT. But I had a great time, and I got 2 great people that are both nice and single to get together. I am very happy this morning. But sorry again everyone.

My prize to Iago, for answering the question correctly is whatever you desire to drink --any thing from bottled water, to coffee/tea, soda pops or alcoholic beverage depending on your age of course.

Hmmm, I am trying to think of another question.
oh, well maybe later.

Sublimation.
Do I get one of your sublime Pseudo-silmarils for that one?

The answer to the Black rider question is, he saw five once he put the ring on, two standing on the lip of the dell and three advancing.

You are correct, looks like we need another question.

The Hobbit chapter XIV called Fire and Water

That one was toooo easy Grondy. I guess I need to come up with a question now. I have answered several.

At the Unexpected party, who asked for raspberry jam and apple tart?

Tig,
I got it from a trivia question on another website. But The Unexpected Party is the title from the 1st Chapter of The Hobbit. If that helps at all.

And Iago leans on the correct one. lol. Whatever you want to drink magically appears in front of you.

{Please forgive me if I wasn't supposed to look it up}

Master Samwise became Hobbiton's mayor for the third time in 1441.

That would be Curufinwe.

Okay, Galadhril and Valedhelgwath each get themselves a Pseudo-Silmaril for their correct answers.

Quite right, The Tengwar of R’mil is correct, R’mil of T’na, however, only completed and arranged characters already in use. I have also seen the name Valinorian, because it was only used for writing Quenya in Valinor.
So you have the pseudo-silmaril Grondmaster!

And the answer for your question is:
"birds" and "firtrees"
it from the goblin song in There and Back Again:

"Fifteen birds in five firtrees,
their feathers were fanned in a fiery breeze!
But, funny little birds, they had no wings!
O what shall we do with the funny little things?
Roast 'em alive, or stew them in a pot;
fry them, boil them and eat them hot?"


(Finally got back the book from my sister... )

With but slender bows.

Looking it up...

Can't find it, but wasn't that the battle fought out in "The Hobbit", between goblins, orcs and wolfs on the one hand and eagles, dwarves, elves and men on the other side?

The Battle of the Peak was the one where Gandalf and the Balrog had a bit of a shindig on the summit of Zirak-zigil above Moria. In the battle Durin's Tower and the Endless Stair were also destroyed.

That would be Thorin playing his golden harp during the unexpected party in The Hobbit.

Anborn informed Faramir that he had several archers around the forbidden pool awaiting Faramir's command to shoot Gollum, but it was actually Faramir who asked Frodo whether they should shoot.

The men of Ringlo Vale behind the son of their lore, Dervorin.
Form Morthond, the great Blackroot Vale, tall Duinhir, with his sons, Duilin and Derufin
From the Anfalas, the Langstrand far away, Golasgil, their Lord
From Lamedon, a few grim hillmen w/o a captain.
Fisher-folk of the Ethir
Hirluin the Fair of the Green Hills from Pinnath Gelin
And last and proudest, Imrahil, Prince of Dol Amroth, kinsman of the Lord, w/ the gilded
banners bearing his token of the Ship and the Silver Swan
And of course 'old Forlong the Fat the Lord of Lossarnach came first.

The House of Elrond, where he was known as Estel.

A Pseudo-Silmaril to 42 for the place and the only name he was known by in his youth, Elrond choosing to keep Aragorn's true name and linage hidden to protect him from harm.


Gollum's Names: What were two names given him by Sam and what was the other taken by Gollum

You got two thirds of it right Val, the missing name is the one that precedes:

Indeed it is Nell, Master Samwise had called him a sneak after being awakened, because Gollum had been off sneaking, which we later found out was off to visit Shelob. Tolkien gave us a hint of what was to come in another six pages, with the following:Now, how to divide a Pseudo-Silmaril into three parts? How about I award it to Val, and he wafts the vapors of sublimation towards Rednell's modem.

Name the three trolls encountered by Bilbo and the thirteen Dwarves.
