"Two Towers" Trivia

Welcome to the Two Towers trivia thread. The rules are basically the same as the Fellowship trivia thread.

- Only questions from "The Two Towers" itself.

- The first person to answer correctly asks the next question.

- Wait 48 hours for confirmation of a correct answer by the asker (or two third party confirms after 24 hours).

- Four wrong answers should prompt a hint from the asker.

- Have fun!

**************************
AND NOW THE FIRST QUESTION:

What happened at Derndingle?

'Hoo, eh? Entmoot?' said Treebeard, turning round. 'It is not a place, it is a gathering of Ents-which does not often happen nowadays. But I have managed to make a fair number promis to come. We shall meet in the place where we have always met: Derndingle Men call it. It is away south from here. We must be there before noon."
page 467

So the answer is an Entmoot happened in Derndingle.

Correct. An appropriate start, I thought.

Your turn, Firekitten.

Oh? We are allowed to refer to the books so obviously? w00t! I thought you were meant to only use your LotR knowledge for these trivias. Good news!

Allowed? I suppose. But it cuts down on bragging rights. We just have to make the questions harder, eh?

Well, the question was hard. I didn't remember anything about Derndigle. I thought you made that up.

Legolas; beware of the see (and the seaguls)

Gimli; she told him to be carfull of which tree's he cuts down

Aragorn; (I had to look this one up)

Where now are the dunedain, Elessar, Elessar?
Why do thy kingsfolk wander afar?
Near is the hour when the lost should come forth,
And the grey company ride from the north.
But dark is the path, appointed to thee;
The dead whatch the road that leads to the sea.

I thought maybe it was an alternate form of the Springle-ring.

Who does Sam describe as, "Sometimes like a great tree in flower, sometimes like a daffadowndilly, small and slender like?"

Oops, nearly forgot about this thread. All right, what was Sam's wish at the end of The Two Towers?
