The Nerd Herd discussion

Allright... Should have made this a long time ago...

So... Ya. SMe as the others...

Name all member of the fellowship?

Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, Peregrin Took, Meriadoc Brandybuck, Gimli son of Gloin, Aragorn son of Arathorn, Legolas Greenleaf, Gandalf the Grey/White and Boromir.

Um... The rule for this group is you can talk about anything freely as long as it's a topic that has to do with it.

Ok then.

Haha, thank you :)

Loki :) Anja... Begins to cry

And yes :) that was an easy one. Your turn!

Hmm... What is a meeting of Ents called?

An ent gathering?

Entmoot!!!

Jo was correct :P

Yay! Nice question, Ley. :D Can I ask one? Erm.

The name of Saruman's tower?

You ask a question when you get one right, I think.

Erm... I though I knew this... *sigh* Something starting with D, I think.

Orthanc!!! I know this because I lamented for days about the fact that I was short on funds to buy it made out of Lego

Haha!! Well done, Meli. =)

Your turn.

It was very depressing. It looked amazing, but 450 dollars... And the saddest part was that I had 425, but my parents wouldn't give me 25 bucks... Oh well. I ended up getting the ship (the one that legolas, gimli, Aragorn, and the spirits attacked) and rivendell.

Name the company of the dwarves? (Includes hobbit)

Without looking at anything . . .

Thorin Oakenshield, Fili, Kili, Balin, Dwalin, Oin, Gloin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Ori, Nori, Dori, Bilbo Baggins. Also Gandalf, though he wasn't officially part of the Company, nor did he stay throughout the whole quest.

:D

Yay!!! Your turn Jo! Good luck stumping me :)

I'll take that as a challenge ;)

List the characters who left for the Grey Havens at the end of LOTR (all of them).

Ooohhhhh Kay!

Frodo, bilbo, Elrond, celeborn, galadriel, Gandalf, a bunch of random elves... ((Possibly tranduil and tauriel? Legolas and Arwen are the only mentioned elves who stayed...))

Pretty sure that's right :P

Your turn!

Yay!!! Hm... Did tauriel go on the ship? I need more info on this character...

And... I have failed...

10. Tinuviel?

11. Elbereth Githonthiel... I think frodo shouts that out from time to time...

I said 11... I failed... Begins to cry

Oh, ok! I said 10 :)

Name all of the Valar from the Silmarillion.

Tried to read the silmarillion, and failed. Might try again once I forget what an awful BORE it was... I read 20 pages... And closed the book... And never opened it again. And I NEVER close a book.

Oh, wow, Meli, how did I forget Haldir and Glorfindel . . . And Luthien Tinuviel? o_O I'm a failure.

Haven't read the Silmarillion yet, sorry, Ty :(

Yikes, that boring for ye eh? I learned a lot on how the Middle Earth was formed.
(( Ya forgot Manwe and Tulkas, but oh well. Dont forget Morgoth, Saurons master :D He was a Valar too. ))

Name all of the wizards in the council then :).

Which council?

Not the council O.o I mean the silly group that the Maiar sent to M.E To erase the threat of Sauron from men. Gandalf is one of them.

Gandalf, saruman, radagast, and the twins who no one remembers their name.

And yeah... I got super bored...

And I remembered glorfindel immediately, but haldir and the others took a while...

And that's from the silmarillion... Still haven't read it :)

(( Its Gandalf The Grey, Saruman the White, Radagast the Brown, Alatar the Blue, and Pallando the Blue :D ))

Which area ((Talking about below his scales.)) was the only area Smaug the dragon did NOT have gold embedded into his skin?

Guessing that the twins names were in the silmarillion

Um... His belly?

Silly! It was a tiny hole in his left breast. The gems kept him invulnerable to attacks, except for bard, who shot him down using a type of arrow.

Can you guess what that arrow was?

It had a white band on it? I've only read the hobbit a few times, ok? One of my friends stole it... Looks at deranged rabbit

(( Haha! It was a black arrow :D ))

Okay, now... easy one;

What race shot down Isildur after he had failed to toss the one ring into Mt.Doom?

Orcs.

Ty, you're making me feel hopelessly ignorant D: xD

Orcs?

(( WOOT! Correct! ))

Sorry, having a nerd spasm :P There is a big haloween dance and me and three other guys are Larpin the LOTR :D I'm dressed as a good ringwraith :D

I have met someone with higher knowledge than I... I bow down to you. Are you perhaps Tolkien reincarnated?

I think good and ringwaith is an oxymoron ;)

True that

Nice, Ty!

Yay, my turn.

Name the *three* types of Hobbit.
