Pervinca Took is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
Pitchwife did the vast majority of the work. I'd say it's definitely over to Pitchwife.

(Also, although I have loads of experience in writing cryptic clues, I don't think I've ever written a riddle).

(By the way, the first disease I thought of was the one that carried off Lalaith, but then I realised I was in the wrong Age).

I hear ya it's a tat (just a tat, only a tat - writing a riddle in public only not like 'hideous', I mean we could have distended bellies for starvation, or have lost any of out family - Ebola - dear eru, thank u for getting on top of the epidemic, but an Elvish prayer for the deceased). Anyhooz seems to me, Master Pitchwife *bows* it's 'tag ur it!

I'm sure it'll be perfectly perfect,

PS Pervinca, who says we can't have TWO riddles running CONCURRENT, in fact, I gottan idea

Say - why don't u wait for Pitwife to caste his riddle - then - add in a 'duo riddle' concept - i.e. write either of:

1. An Extension.
2. An Inversion.
3. An Augmentation

or

simple Second Verse - that somehow links theme one (Pitwife) to ur Theme Two

then we all gotta Duo Riddle to answer

Interested? :anyone else want to pipe up to say 'yay or nay'?
