That's okay Fionw’, you still get another Pseudo-Silmaril for this answer. 
What happened when Sam tied the Elven rope around Gollum's ankle

Hint: Like what did Gollum say?
It burns! Nasty elves made it!
Aldaradan gets the Pseudo-Silmaril for the correct answer.
How did the Ring betray Isildur
How did the Ring betray Isildur
As Isildur attempted to flee the orcs by swimming in the Anduin, the Ring slipped from his finger revealing Isildur to the arrows of the rocs.
Me thinks the "rocs" were those giant birds from the Sinbad story; however, knowing that was merely a dyslexian typo, Fionw’ gets the pretty bauble for the correct answer.
What was an ’ored
What was an ’ored
I think it was a group of supporters of Eorl of the Rohirrim.
Not specific enough Sian. It is a military term.
A long time since answering one of Grondy's questions...
It's a Rohirrim fighting force, usually cavalry, composed of men from a Lord's household... Numbers may vary, but Eomer's was composed of 104 men.

Val has the correct answer and the Pseudo-Silmaril.
What and where was the Mathom-house
What and where was the Mathom-house
The Mathom House, which took it's name from the hobbits' word for useless or unwanted items, mathom, was located in Michel-Delving. It was used most often for the purposes of a museum, except in the time that Sharkey was in the Shire, when I believe it was used for jail purposes.
Fionw’ has the correct answer except I don't think the Mathom House was ever used as a jail, they used the Lockholes (also located in Michael Jordon...er...Michel Delving) for that. Anyway Fionw’ gets the pretty bauble.

In Leaf by Niggle, what were the two Voices discussing
In Leaf by Niggle, what were the two Voices discussing
Okay, I know the three members who have read this have forgotten where they put their volume containing the short story, so tomorrow I'll post the answer and provide a new one.
I haven't read it, but thanks for giving me a new idea. It looks like the two Voices were discussing his case, how he should be judged. The First Voice thinks Niggle is a complete waste of time; and the Second Voice, which is kinder and more understanding, wins out and helps to send Niggle out on the next phase of his journey.
Yes Eruwen, they were discussing the merits of his past life; you get the Pseudo-Silmaril.
What was "Chuenya"
What was "Chuenya"
Sorry, "Chuenya" is so far not found in any of Tolkien's books. If anyone finds it, let me know, for this is the second time I've wrongly used this word in one of these questions. Grondy gets neither a Pseudo-Silmaril nor an atta-boy on this one.
So instead try: Who or what was "Arahael:
Arahael was the grandson of King Arvedui. He was the second Chieftain of the rangers.
Val gets the pretty bauble for his correct answer.

When Frodo was wounded by the Nazg’l Lord, what did Aragorn go to fetch
When Frodo was wounded by the Nazg’l Lord, what did Aragorn go to fetch
Kingsfoil, as the rustics name it, or athelas in the noble tongue, or to those who know somewhat of the Valinorean as’a aranion.
Although, in the movie he not only got some of the herb but he also fetched a beautiful dame.
lol

lolHe fetched a fetching dame, eh what?
Yes Fionw’ gets the pretty bauble for the correct herb.
The town of Esgaroth stood on what lake
Yes Fionw’ gets the pretty bauble for the correct herb.
The town of Esgaroth stood on what lake
Well, I can't answer one question yet, but I can answer the other.
Sure, Aragorn fetched a dame as well as the herb. He came back into camp with the herbs and an elven lady, named Arwen. So, he fetched the herb and the dame. lol

This could happen only in the movies; never in real life. 
And I thought her name was Arwen, not Herb.
Meanwhile the question remains: The town of Esgaroth stood on what lake
And I thought her name was Arwen, not Herb.
Meanwhile the question remains: The town of Esgaroth stood on what lake
um, I think it was called the Long Lake.
That's it Fionw’, you get the pretty bauble.

Which chapter of which book begins with: 'Of old there was Sauron the Maia, whom the Sindar in Beleriand named Gorthaur.'
HINT: the book was the one Professor Tolkien desired to be published prior to LotR, but the powers that be wanted another book about hobbits instead.
Another hint: I believe it was the first of his books published posthumously as edited by his son, Christopher.
I won't let you give out a third hint Grondy... it would be too easy then 
It is the first line of the chapter 'Of the Rings of Power and The Third Age' (in which these tales come to their end) of the book 'The Silmarillion'...
