Password

[Nerwen]

Okay, I'll have the next one up shortly.

In the meantime, the latest Werewolf game is still short two players. Would either of you care try your hand (or paw)?

I won't have time for a couple of weeks, I'm afraid. I know that might sound hypocritical, when I am posting so much here, but cryptic clues are a sort of addiction to me, which I manage to slot in somehow ... is the werewolf game a role play game? I have never played one of those.

Nerwen, hahaha I'll no doubt require the entire fortnight to solve ur riddle, but I promise to try really hard and post regularly until Pevrinca returns.

[Pervinca Took]

Hi Ivriniel! I meant that I will continue to post in this thread and try to solve the clues/password, but that I won't have time for the werewolf game as well.

Maybe you understand role play games better than me and can teach me? When I have time to participate in one.

Sort of. And sort of a weird sub-culture, on this site. This may give you the general flavour.

[Nerwen]

Sorry for the delay- I've been busy the last few days. This one should be nice and easy.

1. Fabled vessel and preposition mingle, with monumental results.
2. A short chieftain tumbled, here.
3. Attempt bargain. Stir up to disclose observant member of Beleg club.
4. Await continental upheaval. May not be over your head.
5. Being sensational- disturb to reveal him.
6. Hunter adds a touch of Spain to find her- and it.

[Ivriniel]

I am very well, Nerwen and smiling at the end of my day here, while I tidy up some written work due soon. It's winter here, but we've had spectacular sunshine.

I'll ponder your riddle and post shortly...if not tonight, then tomorrow, and best regards to you.

[Nerwen]

Just to help everyone out- none of the answers to this one are particularly obscure, and there is a connection between them, although rather an odd one.

[Nerwen]

Yep!

ARGONATH Fabled vessel and preposition mingle, with monumental results.
2. A short chieftain tumbled, here.
3. Attempt bargain. Stir up to disclose observant member of Beleg club.
4. Await continental upheaval. May not be over your head.
5. Being sensational- disturb to reveal him.
6. Hunter adds a touch of Spain to find her- and it.

[Pervinca Took]

That's clever! I was trying to use Vingilot as a vessel, as I couldn't think of any other Middle-earth ships with names.

2. I don't think this is right, but a chieftain is a leader, and if you shorten leader to lead it is an anagram of DALE.

[Mithalwen]

Oh I thought of arc first. I suppose I thought our world first because Vingilot isn't exactly a fable within the context of ME

....

same.... that's a first for me ....still wrong though hahahah

Morsul has the password (though "water" is not the common theme). Well done!

ARGONATH Fabled vessel and preposition mingle, with monumental results.
N A short chieftain tumbled, here.
D Attempt bargain. Stir up to disclose observant member of Beleg club.
U Await continental upheaval. May not be over your head.
I Being sensational- disturb to reveal him.
NIMRODEL Hunter adds a touch of Spain to find her- and it.

[Nerwen]

To clarify- as with my last one, the password is the theme. (Recall that the Nimrodel is a tributary of a tributary of the Anduin).

So, by popular demand, let's tackle #2.

Hmmm ... although I'm not 100% sure about Dale, I'm sensing a connection with water. Nimrodel and Argonath have river connections, and Dale is on or near a lake, I think?

But then, Moria could work for 2 if it's a literal tumbling and a literal (dwarf) short chieftain (and Dale sort of could as well).

Well plenty of soldiers fell in the Dead marshes which is part of Nindalf...

The comma is throwing me off but I feel here just completes the grammatical sentence? Also indicates the answer is a place.

Not Dale or Nindalf. The "short chieftain" is literal; "tumbling" is not. The comma is just to emphasize that the answer is a place (it's not grammatically required).

[Nerwen]

Yes, it is DEAGOL. You are right about "bargain"; "attempt" however, refers to the word "go", made from the remaining letters. For the other part- Deagol is "observant" because he found the Ring and also because he is described as "sharper-eyed" (than Deagol). He is in the "Beleg club" due to having been killed by a close friend.

For N- no, it is not Narog or Norbourn. The Shire is extremely relevant however (though the answer is not in the Shire).


ARGONATH: Fabled vessel and preposition mingle, with monumental results.
N A short chieftain tumbled, here.
DEAGOL: Stir up to disclose observant member of Beleg club.
U Await continental upheaval. May not be over your head.
I Being sensational- disturb to reveal him.
NIMRODEL: Hunter adds a touch of Spain to find her- and it.
