No, not far-fetched at all, Annunfuiniel. In fact, very near-fetched, as it is the correct answer. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] You seem to have a talent for guessing my attempts at cryptic clues. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Take a drink, but not initially going home tonight. - This was indeed "Draught" without "ght", the initial letters of "going home tonight"
One of Thorin's company follows. He loses nothing but finds the first of the Nine. - The member of Thorin's company that I had in mind was Gloin, who loses "o" (nothing) but gains "u", the first letter of Ulairi, another name for the Nazgul, giving "gluin".
But them together, and you get Draugluin.
And sad howler? Well, the meaning of Draugluin is "blue wolf". [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
Well done. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
