But I think he was sick and never really recovered. Don't recall who killed him, though. I believe he went to either Gondolin or Nargothrond so probably died in the battle for one or the other? Or at the havens down south.

All is correct; and he indeed died in a battle in Nargothrond - battle of Tumhalad.
Your turn Tuor.

Tuor of Gondolin · 03-18-2004, 11:35 AM

Actually, I thought my observations were too general.
But as Barliman Butterbur probably observed when Bill got back to Bree "Never look a gift pony in the eye."

How about Folca?

Captain Stern · 03-19-2004, 03:41 AM

The Boar of Evelhort?

Tuor of Gondolin · 03-19-2004, 09:27 AM

Very good. Your turn.

Finrod Felagund · 03-25-2004, 10:56 AM

I'll go if that's ok!

Amroth...

Radagast The Brown · 03-25-2004, 02:47 PM

The sea slained him.

Finrod Felagund · 03-29-2004, 11:34 AM

Correct! It's slew...but thats ok

Thought something is wrong

Feanor.

Tuor of Gondolin · 03-29-2004, 06:26 PM

A bunch of balrogs?
In Hithlum? during the First Battle of Beleriand.

Radagast The Brown · 03-29-2004, 06:39 PM

Hmmm... but who gave the last strike? That is the one I'm looking for.

Tuor of Gondolin · 03-29-2004, 06:53 PM

By the leader of the pack, Gothmog.

Vroom, vroom, vroom.

I guess nobody remembers classic rock.

Radagast The Brown · 03-29-2004, 06:58 PM

Correct, Tuor. Your turn.

Tuor of Gondolin · 03-29-2004, 07:02 PM

Who and where terminated Scatha the Worm?

Finrod Felagund · 03-31-2004, 11:14 AM

Shoot! The name evades me, but it was an ancestor of Eorl right?

Yes. Which is a hint as to where the dragon was slain.

P.S. I've always thought the name "Finrod Felagund" one of the most melifluous in Middle-earth, but then, languages and their sounds were a foundation for Tolkien's writings. In H. Carpenter's "Biography" he's quoted as saying he just liked the sound of words like "cellar door", irrespective of their meaning.

Radagast The Brown · 03-31-2004, 11:55 AM

Oh... Scatha is a dragon... right. Would the one who slew him Frumagar?

Tuor of Gondolin · 03-31-2004, 01:30 PM

RTB: You're close. It was one of the Eotheod, in the area between the Gladden and the Carrock, and Frumgar led them there. But it was someone else with a similar sounding name who killed Scatha a century later. Okay, I looked some of that up.

Radagast The Brown · 03-31-2004, 01:48 PM

Frum?

Tuor of Gondolin · 03-31-2004, 02:55 PM

Yes! It's Fram. Wonder if he was around later, and available, if he could have handled Smaug for Bilbo.

Your turn.

Radagast The Brown · 03-31-2004, 05:45 PM

Fram, is it? I would never guess it.

Folcred. (a hard one, I must add)
