Just to throw in another name, I'll go for Thorin 
Nope, it was neither of those Dwarves; two down and now only eleven to go. 
lol Floin?
...I'm gonna kick myself if it isn't him...
lol

Haha! I'll go for Bilbo instead, you could be tricksing us Grondy... Dwarves are not the only barrel-riding type 
ROFL That is so funny! I put down Bilbo first in my above post, then changed my mind. Now that you said it, it's gonna be Bilbo! lol
My book doesn't have a Dwarf named Floin and you other guys out psyched yourselves because it really was one of the Dwarves.
Now let me see, in the order of the Dwarves' arrival at the Bilbo's unexpected tea party there were: Dwalin, Balin, Kili, Fili, Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin, Gloin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, and Thorin.

lol I was mixing up Fili and Oin... :/
Ok, um, Balin
...this is hilarious, here we are, a Tolkien website, many of us are quite knowledged in Tolkien lore, and yet none of us can figure out who said a certain line, except of course Grondy... almost sad lol

Ah! Grondy has very cleverly tricksyded us good and proper, he's made us think so much we are running in circles... It was his plan the whole time 
It is amusing, but of course we could find out easily enough... *Itches to flick through The Hobbit* Let's make this interesting... One big Pseudo Silmaril for the peron who guesses right...
Gloin! (The first thing that came to my head)

Sorry, both wrong.

BofurFili ?
Yes it was Fili, who had had to endure the apple smell that his barrel had previously contained, and as he became so hungry while riding his barrel,that he never again desired an apple to eat for many a day. Golden_red gets the Pseudo-Silmaril.

Ooooh, Fionwe and I were having a glorious battle, and Golden Red just jumps in and steals that oh so Psuedo Silmaril from us...
It isn't over Fionwe... I'll be baaaaack *and fades*
Was it a title given to Merry, Squire of Rohan? Or something similar?

Perhaps a nifty Rohan type of horn?
Tin’viel has it and the pretty bauble. It was an heirloom of the Rohirrim from the hoard of Scatha the Worm and Eorl had brought it south with him to Rohan. It was an ancient Dwarven made horn.

Yup, in his book TTT Tolkien wrote:

Which member of the Court of Rohan secretly served Saruman
Quote:
'What of the dawn?' they jeered. 'We are the Uruk-hai: we do not stop the fight for night or day, for fair weather or for storm. We come to kill, by sun or moon. What of the dawn?'
This was in response to Aragorn's hope for what the dawn would bring. Not that the besiegers would quail with the rising of the sun, but that Gandalf would return with succor to lift the siege.'What of the dawn?' they jeered.

Sorry Loss, it wasn't Gollum; so I don't need to check if you were inside or outside the 24 hour rule.

Frodo heard the voice chanting those words as he slowly watched the hand of the Barrow-wight crawl towards the sword which lay across the necks of Sam, Merry, and Pippin.

The answer was a Mock Dragon Tail made of confectionary (and I would have accepted cake)

As for the other question... I'll guess Faramir. Mmmm... Faramir....
Amari’ has the correct answer and the pretty bauble.

What color were the flutterbys that Bibo saw above the roof of Mirkwood
What color were the flutterbys that Bibo saw above the roof of Mirkwood
There is no way for me to find that out, ecept through an internet search, which I think would be cheating.
Pity I didn't see the Giles of Ham question earlier, I knew the answer to that.
I couldn't get on on the 18th because the lag was really bad, there were 1600 people online, or so the meter said.

Ar-Pharazon the Great, last king of Numenor ere it was destroyed. That was his flag-ship, on which he set sail into the West, and saught to claim the Blessed Land for his own, being deceived by Sauron.
That is without looking it up, too!

The Mythopoeic Society was devoted to studying the works of which three authors
Hint: The lesser known of the three had a last name that was similar to the first name of one of Bilbo's three Trolls and his first name was similar to the first name of Peanuts anti-hero.
Well considering the thread Tolkien would have to be one, then going on era and genre CS Lewis as another is likely - but I couldn't guess at a third - from the clues maybe Charlie Bert?? More clues please :p
Rednell would know this....
Rednell would know this....
Hint: 42 has the first two members and the less formal form of the third's first name. His last name is the plural of the formal first name of one of the other rwo trolls, he whose last name was Huggins.
Charles Williams?
42 bas the correct third author and the pretty bauble.
