Hey, then wouldn't TD's answer technically be the right one? I mean, if what Frodo saw when he saw flashes was indeed Gandalf fighting off the Nazgul on Weathertop, then it follows that this answer would be right... ah, well.

Is this about where you were refering with your question?

Quote:

Frodo lay down again, but for a long time while he could still see the white flashes, and against them the tall dark figures of Strider, standing silent and watchful. At last he passed into uneasy sleep.

If so, I would agree with Lotesse

So, durinsbane 2244, is it TD's turn now, or what is your final verdict here? Inquiring minds want to know.

durinsbane2244 · 12-12-2005, 09:47 PM

no, because it would be right, had the flashes indeed been gandalf fighting the nazgul, but it wasn't....another hint, he sees the flashes with strider, we learn of them at the coucil...

Telcontar_Dunedain · 12-13-2005, 02:34 PM

And they are later confirmed as Gandalf fighting off the Nazgûl.

Were you looking for something similar to this?

'What is the light?' he said to Strider, who has risen, and was standing, gazing ahead into the night.

'I do not know,' Strider answered. 'It is too distant to make out. It is like lightning that leaps up from the hill-tops.'

Frodo lay down again, but for a long while he could still see the white flashes, and against them the tall dark figure of Strider, standing silent and watchful. At last he passed into uneasy sleep.

Then it was Gandalf battling those Nazgul. What else could it possibly have been? Northern lights? A distant thunderstorm? UFOs?

durinsbane2244 · 12-14-2005, 04:47 PM

nope...that's it, i give up on youse guys...you're very stubborn, and very persistent...

i TOLD you that wasn't it...anyway, Gandalf on Isengard, moonlight on his hair and beard...read Gandalf's part of the Council of Elrond...sheesh...someone else can go...

Lotesse · 12-14-2005, 05:48 PM

Then, durinsbane 2244, please give us a new trivia question! Pleeease...

durinsbane2244 · 12-14-2005, 08:33 PM

ok, though i doubt i'll be lucky enough to deal a blow such as the last one, what is the meaning of the word mithril? [the tie-in being that frodo gets the mithril coat and it saves his life, though i don't know if this can be found in the FotR, if not, i can give a different one]

Lotesse · 12-14-2005, 08:40 PM

The trivia question HAS to be directly gleaned from a passage or sentence contained explicitly in FotR; it cannot be something you've just thought of, even though that IS a good question. You've got to know exactly where to reference it to within the FotR. Just to make that clear. Now I'm going to go look through my book and try to find the answer to this question. But please make sure your questions are directly taken from within the pages of FotR, o.k.?

durinsbane2244 · 12-14-2005, 09:02 PM

than no, i take it back, because it can't be found directly in FotR text, and i forfeit my turn to Lotesse for being very prompt and on-the-ball in this thread...

Spock · 12-15-2005, 12:36 PM

Good, that saved me an intervention

durinsbane2244 · 12-15-2005, 05:58 PM

er...yay...

Lotesse · 12-17-2005, 08:51 PM

Who was the chief counsellor of Elrond's household?

durinsbane2244 · 12-17-2005, 10:58 PM

er...elrond?

Lotesse · 12-17-2005, 11:36 PM

um... No.

Serenoli · 12-18-2005, 07:33 AM

Glorfindel?

Lotesse · 12-18-2005, 09:02 PM

Not he!

durinsbane2244 · 12-18-2005, 11:01 PM
