A worm lives in a hollow rock,
With two doors, one with a secret lock. The unlucky number gets one more, With out him they would not have survived the trip to the door. The worm is killed, the mountain set free, All by a stick from a tree. To answer this riddle, All you must do is make it simple. A nice little riddle indeed. The answer, I suspect, is as follows... Smaug lived in a hollow mountain (rock) with two entrances (one of which is the secret way Bilbo uses to enter. Bilbo is the 14th member of the party taking it past unlucky 13. The dwarves were indebted to Bilbo for his help in getting them to the Lonely mountain (not have survived). Smaug is killed by an arrow (stick from a tree) which in turn sets the mountain free from it's previous tenant.

Name That King
Here's one for fun.
Eastern king. Bound by ring. Second of Nine (or so they sing). Doused in spring. Took to wing. Doomed to end by Bar-B-Queing. |

A warm welcome to Bhager...
I'm glad to see this thread come back to life. "Back to life" unlike King Folca of Rohan who was killed by the Boar of Everholt. Folca was hunting the boar (which he did kill) when he was gored by the tusks of the animal and died. I guess A Swine-Slaying-King's bane would be the tusks of the Boar of Everholt (or the boar itself if you prefer).

Another Riddle
Seven on watch over a sacred wood.
Two look East. Three look Southeast. Two look Northeast. Authors note: To answer correctly you must name the guardians and the wood they protect. |

My theory is the banner of Gondor The "wood" is the white tree The "seven" are the stars on the banner (also representing ships/palantir escaping from Numenor). I do not know what the looking East, Southeast or Northeast is referring to, unless it's the directions the ships went when escaping Numenor (East-ish from Numenor would make sense to get to Middle Earth). Like I said it's a guess, and I may need some help...
