What was the name of Pippin's pony in Rohan?

(sorry it's been so long :oops:

)
My fault :oops:

EDIT: Sorry, I meant Merry :oops:

If Pippin has a pony (as far as I remember, he only rides double with Gandalf), I have no idea what it's name might be.

Merry's pony is called Stybba.

LordElrond · **Posted:** Thu Jul 18, 2013 10:59 am

Yes your go.
Sorry...

Who was, according to Tolkein, the member of the fellowship who did the least to advance the quest?

Draugluin · **Posted:** Sun Jul 21, 2013 11:30 pm

Legolas

Sir Richard · **Posted:** Mon Jul 22, 2013 1:18 pm

Gimli (since legolas was already taken xP)

Goldman25 · **Posted:** Mon Jul 22, 2013 1:21 pm

Nah, Gimli furthered the Quest by making them go through Moria ... I'm guessing Boromir, since Legolas has been said.

Sir Richard · **Posted:** Mon Jul 22, 2013 2:20 pm

Not really, it was really Frodo who decided to right? Or maybe that's my movie-knowledge speaking... xP

Goldman25 · **Posted:** Mon Jul 22, 2013 2:24 pm

If Gimli hadn't suggested it, mentioning Balin's expedition, Gandalf wouldn't have considered it at all. If Gimli hadn't pushed the idea, they'd have probably tried the Gap of Rohan instead.

Sir Richard · **Posted:** Mon Jul 22, 2013 2:28 pm

Probably very true

However, since we both seem to agree that Legolas is(and in my opinion always was) useless, establishing whether or not Gimli was useful or not is quite pointless. xP

Telchar · **Posted:** Tue Jul 23, 2013 10:30 am

The answer was Legolas.

It was not Gimli but Gandalf who made them go through Moria in the books, with Aragorn being against it. They changed it in the movies because Gandalf can't be wrong

What was the kill count of Legolas and Gimli at the Battle of Helms Deep?

Sir Richard · **Posted:** Tue Jul 23, 2013 3:27 pm

42 for Gimli and 41 for Legolas, for it is said that Gimli surpassed Legolas' count by one. This one was easy, because it is a thing I like to mention now and again to elf-lovers, especially when I am trampling over their armies with Gimli xP

Draugluin · **Posted:** Tue Jul 23, 2013 4:01 pm

Yup, and I'm pretty sure that that was the only reason why Tolkien thought that Legolas did less than Gimli, because of that one kill. Also, in the movie they had the count at 43-42 for some weird reason.

Sir Richard · **Posted:** Wed Jul 24, 2013 2:21 pm

It is wierd that PJ changed it up for the films, but it makes for a great trick question. xP
Alrighty, here goes my question:

What is the name Ilfrith a version of?

Telchar · **Posted:** Wed Jul 24, 2013 3:28 pm

Edith? Tolkien's wife's name?

Sir Richard · **Posted:** Sun Jul 28, 2013 12:14 pm

No, it is not.

Sir Richard · **Posted:** Wed Aug 07, 2013 2:50 pm

Is this question too hard? Perhaps on a rather too obscure topic? Would y'all like me to pose a new question?
