	I realize that some of these deaths are recorded in other books. If they did not actually occur in the Lord of the Rings or Hobbit then I placed it in the Silmarillion (unless, of course it wasn't mentioned in the Silmarillion). I hope the book choices help and don't hinder.

	Awesome quiz! I had a lot of fun with it. I'm nitpicking here, but could you also accept Snowmane for who killed Theoden, since that was what ultimately killed him?

	Very nicely done! And now, the nitpicking. You should take "himself" or "herself" for Maedhros, Nienor, Turin, Denethor, and Gollum. If you're taking Gurthang for Turin's death, you should probably also take The One Ring for Gollum's. Also, Bullroarer's real name is Bandobras, so that should be an acceptable answer.

	@ cirith: I added Snowmane - thanks for pointing that out. @ micah: Thanks for pointing out that I should include "himself" or "herself". I did have "Bandobras Took" but not "Bandobras" by itself so I added that. Finally, I debated about putting "The One Ring" down for Gollum but felt that was too much of a stretch. Gurthang was included for Turin because the sword actually encouraged Turin to kill himself.

	Fun quiz! I couldn't remember Lotho for the Party Tree, so I just tried "The Industrial Revolution" to no avail.

	I haven't had so much fun with a quiz in a long time. I got so excited when I realized that huan killed carcharoth and carcharoth killed huan. It sounds odd when I put it like that but I loved it.

	Awesome concept, and hard since I haven't read the Silmarillion in a while

	Thorin was killed by goblins (mountain orcs), not by "normal" orcs.

	LTH:	Apr 26th, 2011 at 03:45 GMT		1 point
	@History_Lover, could accept Sackville-Baggins for Lotho?

	History_Lover:	Apr 27th, 2011 at 01:47 GMT		1 point
	@ SlavlarChemDog I corrected it to "goblins" but left orcs as an alternate. @LTH I added "Sackville-Baggins" and variations of that. Thanks for the suggestions!

	Great quiz. Nice that you included characters from The Silmarillion (even though I missed most of those). There are some clever ones in there, too, like "The Party Tree."

	Dorak:	Sep 7th, 2012 at 02:01 GMT		1 point
	Nicely done! "Suicide" should be an acceptable answer in some cases.
