Join us right now in the Hall of Fire as we explore the whys and wherefores of chapter 13 of The Hobbit. The dwarves and Bilbo are trapped inside the mountain. Smaug has disappeared. What crafty plan will Bilbo come up with to save the day this time?
“I am going down the tunnel once again. I have been that way twice, when I knew there was a dragon at the other end, so I will risk a third visit when I am no longer sure.”
We’re done! Thanks to everyone who joined our discussion! Next weekend, we’ll be delving into the latest movie rumours. Mark your diary!

After our abortive trivia challenge of a fortnight ago (our trivia-master Elrond took a fall on the dangerous journey from #rivendell to #thehalloffire), we’re going to see if we can make it work this time!
So, do you know the difference between a Balcoth and a Brandybuck? All the seven names for the Noldorin stronghold of Gondolin? How many great rings of power there were in total?
If you’re up for the challenge, our trivia master Elrond will be taking control of this weekend’s Hall of Fire session. Elrond knows more than 750 questions — some easy, some not so easy! So join us tomorrow (Saturday October 1) from 6pm EDT in #thehalloffire on our IRC server (irc.theonering.net) where we’ll be indulging in a fun battle of wits where that will test your Tolkien geekery to the limit!

Here at the TORn chat we’ve just had our own movie marathon, but now you can do it all over again — well, the ROTK EE at least!
The Lord of the Rings: War in the North development team are having a viewing of the ROTK EE today starting at 2pm PDT and running until 6pm EDT — and they’ll be doing it live with us from our TORn chat. If, like the Snowblind Studios team, you’re just looking for an excuse to watch The Lord of the Rings, then come and join us! (HINT: that’s about 10 minutes from now!)
Chat with the game developers, participate in trivia, and win prizes! Can’t make it right at 2pm? Be fashionably late, jump and in whenever! We’ll be giving regular updates letting you know where we are in the movie.
*Please note that — as with our movie marathon — we will not be streaming the film, but we encourage all fans to watch it locally (on your own tv, or computer) while we chat.*
We’re done! Thanks to everyone who joined and made it such a great success!
