3 - More elvish than that. Too young, too.
I'll start giving hints for #1 only after first guess.

"Eldest first, or quickest first?"

Turambar · 12-11-2003, 02:10 PM

Last attempt for #3 - Twenty-four (CANTA RASTA) ?

Celebrian · 12-11-2003, 02:20 PM

3 - Sorry! This one's toltolly tengwar. And I must away...

Turambar · 12-11-2003, 02:34 PM

Ah - is #3 twenty ? (Tengwa 20 is nwalme = "torment".)

Celebrian · 12-11-2003, 02:45 PM

Turambar, yes, nwalme is the clue!

4) Tomb? Grave?

Celebrian · 12-11-2003, 05:52 PM

4 - The Tombs, is correct, Finwe! Denethor headed there with sickly Faramir.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-12-2003, 01:30 AM

1. Company?
2. Azanulbizar?
5. Elves' New Year?

Celebrian · 12-12-2003, 07:32 AM

No, no and... no. Keep quessing, I think the pass is getting obvious, however.
1 - Another group was there, albeit briefly
5 - Turambar's last guess was closer, wordwise

Turambar · 12-12-2003, 12:35 PM

How about just lithe for #5 ?

#2 Misty Mountains?

Celebrian · 12-12-2003, 01:00 PM

#2 - You may have to look in the SIL to find this dark Home. Is this thread limited to LOTR?
#5 - So close you're tickling me!

Turambar · 12-12-2003, 01:07 PM

#2 Angband ?

#5 Overlithe?

Celebrian · 12-12-2003, 01:45 PM

2 - Yea, Friend, and
5 - Nay, you've already used that guess and it's still wrong. You might have to be a Breelander to get this one.

Turambar · 12-12-2003, 02:25 PM

The Summerdays ?

Celebrian · 12-12-2003, 02:34 PM

You're hot, 'tis the correct time of year to be enjoying the May-Honey

Turambar · 12-12-2003, 02:42 PM

Celebrian · 12-12-2003, 05:39 PM

[img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Alas! No. Hint: About the brew and the bees; bees gather the honey in that month of blooming, so anyone making a mead (honey added) drink is going to have to wait 'til the bees are done to gather it, then make the mix and wait a bit for it to ferment.

Finwe · 12-12-2003, 07:34 PM

1) Fornost? Norbury?

Celebrian · 12-12-2003, 09:12 PM

Ah, Noldorian, #1 is a grouping of ... characters (as opposed to place or thing)

Finwe · 12-13-2003, 12:06 PM

1) Rangers? Dunedain?

Celebrian · 12-13-2003, 02:46 PM

Nice group, Finwe, but Butterbur's still not happy about #1's grouping.

[ 8:58 PM December 14, 2003: Message edited by: Celebrian ]

Finwe · 12-13-2003, 02:51 PM

5) Forelithe? Afterlithe? Lithe?

Celebrian · 12-13-2003, 02:55 PM

Afterlithe is correct, Finwe! Surely you have the password on the tips of your fingers, also.

Finwe · 12-13-2003, 03:25 PM

I can't seem to find the pattern. Grrr.... this is so frustrating!

Turambar · 12-13-2003, 09:46 PM

Is the Password FANTASIE ?

Celebrian · 12-13-2003, 11:09 PM

Aye, Sir, starin' ya in the face like the moon a' plenilune. Di'ya need hintses for the first'un then?

"He sang like a starling, hummed like a honey-bee, lilted to the fiddle, clasping his river-maid round her slender middle."

Turambar · 12-14-2003, 09:08 AM

What is "Fantasie" other than the German word for fantasy ?

Finwe · 12-14-2003, 10:57 AM

Hmmm... the only other one that I can think of for # 1 is: Fellowship.

Celebrian · 12-14-2003, 02:00 PM

Turambar:
In Bilbo's song Errantry, the term "Fantasie" is used as perhaps an imaginary land where the wanderer is "roaming over Belmarie and Thellamie and Fantasie".
According to Merriam-Webster the word is used in the same context as Fantasia, (ala Chernobog [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ), to denote a "musical composition free and fanciful in form."

Finwe: The Fellowship "grouping" was much nicer than the thematic one in this password puzzle.

Finwe · 12-14-2003, 02:02 PM

Fallen Kings?

Celebrian · 12-14-2003, 02:07 PM

Almost there! Look for another term.

Finwe · 12-14-2003, 05:34 PM

Failed Kings?

Celebrian · 12-15-2003, 11:05 PM

[img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] In a poor attempt to provide a tricksy question, I've only tricked myself! After finding finally a map of the Third Age with political boundaries marked, here is resubmitted the first clue in (hopefully) easier form so we can wrap up sooner:

One Minas Morgulian grouping left Butterbur drooping : Fell Riders
Two, a monster cache, a place of doom: Angband
Three, at this age what angst a tweener would be suffering?: Nwalme, torment, tengwar#20
Is four a mound, or stone, a place for bones? : Tombs (Denethor)
A fifth, a time in Bree to be mead a-drinking: Afterlithe, called "Mede" in Bree
The sixth is where there lived an Inkling: Sandfield Road, Oxford
Seven's a remedy for overheating: Isenmouthe (ice-in-mouth)
Guess eighth and poser end is soon, for it is a burial bloom: Evermind

Turambar has guessed the password, FANTASIE.

Celebrian · 12-16-2003, 07:24 AM

Hmmm... no, I don't think this group of dark persons were mentioned that far north.

Finwe · 12-16-2003, 06:51 PM

Fell Riders?

Celebrian · 12-16-2003, 08:53 PM

Verily so, Finwe! You are a good guesser!
Turambar, your turn to step up to the palantir.

I've got a proposition:

It's been more than 10 days. Do you Passworders allow me to post my puzzle, or do we wait for Turambar?

Thank you! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
