Este, I have the feeling the question is too hard for us. ( in other words: we're too lazy!!!)

I would wait more few days, and if no one would answer right..... you would give us hints!

Lizra · 04-25-2003, 07:04 PM

What! Too hard!

Let's try harder people! I'll start with The Arkenstone, given to Bard, hmmmmm, he gives that silver and pearl necklace to the elven king at the end, ahhhhhh he tried to give Gandalf his "troll's booty", but I don't think Gandalf took it. He took the two handled cup from the dragon's horde and gave it to the dwarves, and........how about a small *hint* for the last?

Bombadillo · 04-25-2003, 08:05 PM

Hmmm... I thought this would be easy.
Then I realised I was in The Hobbit forum.

Well, perhaps you could say he gives away the company's posotion or hiding spot at some point in the book, although off the top of my head I can't think of specifically when. Also, in the beginning, he gives a lot of food to Gandalf and all the dwarves when the drop by his hobbit hole.

If I'm right about these, just give credit to Lizra, because she got more and I'm not sure mine even count.

I think your right Lizra. Gandalf did take the troll booty, and I counted and that's 4. 1.The Arkenstone
2.The Necklace
3.The troll booty
4.The two handled cup
So if I'm not greatly mistaken it's Lizra's turn!

Wow, Lizra!

you're good!

Este · 04-26-2003, 11:29 AM

Very good, Lizra! You got the four I was thinking of.

Just as a point of interest, I realized after I asked the question that I had left one out.

Quote:

After a week, therefore, he said farewell to Elrond, and giving him such small gifts as he would accept, he rode away with Gandalf.

I guess there were five after all, but as I only asked for four, it's Lizra's go!

I eagerly await your question.

Lizra · 04-27-2003, 09:54 AM

Ahhh! I love The Hobbit!

All right, let's continue along these lines.

Describe three different instances where Gandalf leaves, and later returns in The Hobbit

gimli7410 · 04-27-2003, 12:48 PM

when they are in the goblin cave, when they are climbing the mountain side and when they are captured by the trolls

Lizra · 04-27-2003, 12:53 PM

Would you elaborate more on the specifics of "climbing the mountan side", please!

(I was thinking of when does he leave, and when does he reappear..course, it could be said, he leaves just when he is needed, and reappears in the "nick of time".

)

gimli7410 · 04-27-2003, 01:07 PM

i think it is when they are nearing rivendell and there cross over a mountain and he is right at the top.(thats the best i can do,i can't find my copy of the hobbit)

Radagast The Brown · 04-27-2003, 03:08 PM

Well, he reappear in Beoren's house. Ah! and before Mirkwood.

Lizra · 04-27-2003, 03:28 PM

Well, he does disappear before they run into the trolls, when the weather got bad, and it was dark. "Just when a wizard would have been the most useful , too," as Dori and Nori groaned. He reappeared in time to confuse the trolls into staying up past their bedtime.

And he nipped into the goblin's door crack, right before it snapped, following the orc slave drivers and dwarf/hobbit prisoners to the edge of the great (goblin's) hall. He conjured up some of his best magic and was able to rescue the dwarves once again.

As far I know, he was with them through the Rivendell visit, and the Beorn visit.....and then..... ??

Radagast The Brown · 04-28-2003, 01:27 PM

AS I said! He wasn't with them in Mirkwood!!!

Lizra · 04-28-2003, 04:27 PM

Ok Mr. tactful!

He left right before Mirkwood and returned again....?

(gimli or Radagast may ask a question, since I'm suffering from correctitis here. )

gimli7410 · 04-28-2003, 06:38 PM

i got to it first. im not sure if this has been asked but what ways did gandalf think beorn got his powers from?

Gulio, Strength of Many · 04-28-2003, 09:05 PM

Ok, exactly which question are we on exactly? The Beorn one? I'm confused!

gimli7410 · 04-28-2003, 09:58 PM

If you read Thge hobbit, you would've know who's Beorn.

And I don't know the answer.

Agburanar · 04-30-2003, 04:17 AM

He was either a bear that had turned into a man or a man who had turned into a bear. I don't remember how it was s'posed to have happened.

gimli7410 · 04-30-2003, 10:42 AM

yes that is his power but how did gandalf think he got it
