Duilin and Derufin, both were trampled/otherwise killed as they led their troops close to aim at the eyes.

That was a bit of a random statement

Decidedly odd, but when I pressed "post" I was convinced I was the first person answering the relevant question... It's magic!

So who has posted the next question - sorry for being confused ?

That there is the question.

Can you explain what you are looking for in your quiz question. From the wording I can't work out if you are thinking of revision changes to the Hobbit as a result of Tolkien writing LOTR, or differences in LOTR that resulted in changes to the Hobbit as revisions.

We all know about the reworked 'Riddles in the Dark' chapter that was changed from its original form by LOTR but I'm scratching my head about what changes it might be unless it is something to do with differences in Gandalf and his his meeting with Thorin and that sparked off the quest for Erebor.

Sorry, it should be "In what way did Gandalf (in FotR) mention the changes that Tolkien made to the Hobbit".

LordElrond · **Posted:** Sun Mar 17, 2013 7:08 am

"If you are referring to the dragon incident, I was barely involved."

Draugluin · **Posted:** Sun Mar 17, 2013 8:54 pm

Nope.

Gandalf recounts in the "The Shadow of the Past" that Bilbo was lying and under the influence of the One Ring Ring) to strengthen his claim to it.

He describes it as Bilbo's strange story of how he won it, how he could not believe it and finally got the truth of him.

In the Hobbit Tolkeien just has the line

"Gandalf gave Bilbo a queer look from under his busy eyebrows" and the fact that Bilbo wonders if he has guessed at the part of his tale he left out.

The true events are explained in the Prologue to the Fellowship of the Ring and how Bilbo even set down his original story in the Red Book.

Draugluin · **Posted:** Tue Mar 19, 2013 8:50 pm

Yup! Your go.

Azog · **Posted:** Sat Mar 23, 2013 5:54 pm

What did Gandalf say on the field of Cormallen when the power of Sauron was removed from the hosts of Mordor ?

Azog · **Posted:** Wed Mar 27, 2013 8:59 pm

It's not that hard - it's in the book (RoTK) ;-)

SouthernDunedain · **Posted:** Wed Mar 27, 2013 10:17 pm

Few possible answers (just delved into the book.)

'The eagles are coming'

OR

'Stand, Men of the West! Stand and wait! This is the hour of doom.'

OR

'The realm of Sauron is ended!'

Azog · **Posted:** Wed Mar 27, 2013 11:33 pm

I was looking for this one

Stand, Men of the West! Stand and wait! This is the hour of doom.'

I think the Eagles are too early and the third one is too late.

Over to you ;-)
