Even More LOTR Trivia Questions! Can't Post

Hi everyone! It's Monday and that means another round of LOTR Trivia!

The rules are simple.

I ask six questions from the LOTR Trivial Pursuit game. The questions are divided into six categories: Things, Evil Characters, Good Characters, Places & History, Warfare, and Making Movies.

I will post the answers for the questions on Friday for you to score yourselves. Until then, answer them, discuss them, joke about them, and feel free to award plenty of Invisible Extra Credit to those who deserve it.

For the record, the LOTR Trivial Pursuit game has some questions that are just too easy, some questions that are awkwardly phrased, and some questions that seem to be flat wrong. I am combining questions from a couple of different cards to get these sets and to try and weed out some of the odd ones. Also, I wouldn't put too much thought into worrying about whether or not the questions fit their categories.

Here are this week's questions:


What Hobbit family does Bilbo mention immediately after the Bagginses in his party speech?


Who is the "third one" referred to by the Rangers in Faramir's cave?


What is Gandalf doing when Frodo awakens to find him at his bedside in Rivendell?


How many leagues away from Edoras does Theoden say Eomer and his men are?


What weapon does Aragorn use to kill the Warg that threatens Gimli in the refugee attack?


What material were the leaves on the trees in the indoor sets made of?

What Hobbit family does Bilbo mention immediately after the Bagginses in his party speech?

Boffins (or was it Puffins...oh right, these are hobbits, not birds)

Who is the "third one" referred to by the Rangers in Faramir's cave?

Gollum
(Conspiracy theory: Their captain's long lost younger brother, Golumir)

What is Gandalf doing when Frodo awakens to find him at his bedside in Rivendell?

Smoking? (Really, Gandalf...he's already sick Wink)

How many leagues away from Edoras does Theoden say Eomer and his men are?

20??? (Or was it 20,000?)

What weapon does Aragorn use to kill the Warg that threatens Gimli in the refugee attack?

An arrow
(Better question: What weapon does Aragorn use to nearly kill Gimli? ... A warg!)

What material were the leaves on the trees in the indoor sets made of?

Ummm...leaves?

"When you think of the great Battle of Pelennor, do not forget the Battle of Dale. Think of what might have been. Dragon-fire and savage swords in Eriador! There might be no Queen in Gondor. We might now only hope to return from the victory here to ruin and ash. But that has been averted -- because I met Thorin Oakenshield one evening on the edge of spring not far from Bree. A chance-meeting, as we say in Middle-earth."

Well, it's Friday again and Friday means answers. Here are the answers for this week's trivia game. How did everyone do?

Here are this week's questions:


What Hobbit family does Bilbo mention immediately after the Bagginses in his party speech?
The Boffins


Who is the "third one" referred to by the Rangers in Faramir's cave?
Gollum

Can anyone confirm or deny for me? I think Faramir never uses the exact words "third one" to refer to Gollum. There may be some wiggle room for anyone who missed this one!


What is Gandalf doing when Frodo awakens to find him at his bedside in Rivendell?
Smoking his pipe


How many leagues away from Edoras does Theoden say Eomer and his men are?
Three hundred


What weapon does Aragorn use to kill the Warg that threatens Gimli in the refugee attack?
A spear


What material were the leaves on the trees in the indoor sets made of?
Silk


Thanks for playing or lurking this week!

Those are definitely the hardest! [In reply to] Can't Post

When I'm picking questions for that category, they always seem to be way too hard or way too easy. I promise to slip some of those easier ones into later posts Cool
