No. None of those are correct, I'm afraid.
I'll repeat the clues here for ease of reference:
1. Bag End (Hole in bottom of sack.)
2. Olog-Hai (Superior troops may avoid being petrified in battle.)
3. Beorn (Magician found in Combe or near Archet.)
4. Doomed ocean fortress.
5. Evil one gives love-bite, by the sound of it.
6. Horse lord said to have come to an end at this place.
7. Walda (King reverses commercial edict.)
8. A Hobbit who can take his drink?
9. Orrostar (Headless swordsman and main attraction from Eastern land.)
And now some more hints:
#4 is not a place. Finwe was on the right track with Eambar.
#5 is a bit silly, but what title for an evil one might sound like someone who gives love-bites?
#6 is the name of a horse lord, not a place where one died. The second part of the clue is cryptic.
As for #8, the correct hobbit's surname, and his grandfather, have been given. I'm just looking for another name for him - one that fits in with the "punnish" clue.
Hope that helps. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
