yah thats right it was too easy

Elf Girl: Either when sauron was defeated and Ilsidur was killed ( along with the people in the battle) but the Ring was safe (sorta kinda) for 3000 years (until Bilbo found it, or was it 2500 years the Ring was in the river?)
Or, when all the dwarves die in the Battle of Five Armies to get the Lonely Mountain's gold.

This is the closest, but not right.

Adrian Baggins · 01-03-2003, 08:51 PM

Riddles in the dark ended up leading to Frodo having to save Middle Earth and Gollum dieing and Frodo loseing a finger or just riddles in the dark or Gollum's lust for the ring led to his death.

Close, close.

Menelvagor · 01-04-2003, 02:34 PM

Gollum being rescued from the ring by Bilbo finding it?

Menelvagor · 01-04-2003, 02:37 PM

Or Gollum saving Frodo from the ring by biting it of his finger at the Sammath Naur?

Adrian Baggins · 01-04-2003, 03:02 PM

Bilbo's pitty gave Gollum a new part to play in th ewhol life of the ring which led to a death that could have been different? I don't know my best idea wasn't right. This is harder then it looks.

Elf Girl · 01-04-2003, 04:40 PM

I'll repost my riddle for reference:

A question hard,
The stolen gold,
Will save,
Though dear the price would be.

No one is right, but it is in the Hobbit.

cassiopeia · 01-05-2003, 12:30 AM

Elf Girl: One of the riddles Gollum or Bilbo asks? I havn't read the Hobbit for a while, so I can't remember all the riddles. The riddle where Bilbo asks what have I got in my pocket?

TinuvielChild · 01-05-2003, 01:14 AM

"What have I got in my pocket?"

[edit] Whoops, sorry, didn't see your post, cass! If the answer is that riddle, it goes to cass; she got there first.

Radagast The Brown · 01-05-2003, 03:25 PM

maybe you're right, but I can't see any conection to the gold.

TinuvielChild · 01-05-2003, 05:19 PM

The Ring is a gold ring. The riddle was a "question hard", both for Gollum and Bilbo. The "dear price"...that I'm not sure on, but the rest of it fits.

cassiopeia · 01-06-2003, 12:58 AM

That's Ok, TC. I agree with TC, the stolen gold is the ring Smeagol stole, a question hard is the riddle, will save is, I think, Bilbo's life and dear price is the war of the ring or something to do with it. We will have to wait for Elf girl.

You were the first one, and yes, it is right. I'll get you another riddle in a few days.

Elf Girl · 01-06-2003, 03:57 PM

The "dear price" was indeed the War of the Ring.

Elf Girl · 01-07-2003, 04:53 PM

New riddle:

Beautiful at first,
It became the worst,
Nightmare of the friends,
Before the mountain ends.

Christiana · 01-08-2003, 12:37 AM

the treasure trove of smaug?The corrupted elves(THE ORCS)?

Christiana · 01-08-2003, 12:38 AM
