No, just making it a bit more challenging, (and resorting to semi-desperate measures to get the required letters).

As we're on a new page ....
MAURA: Find him circulating at a strange support group. ERESTOR: Put back, almost intact, to find him. TELCONTAR: A twist of double pastry for him. THARKUN: Search around the ship for him. GLORFINDEL: Coin in German money? Shake it up for him. GLOIN: Behold, spirit! Turn and see him! GALDOR: For him, a happy alternative, with minimal compromise. THEME: PEOPLE PRESENT AT THE COUNCIL OF ELROND. Maura it is (as in Maura Labingi). I hadn't noticed the juxtaposition of rum and AA! Yes, that works. But it's simply that 'rum' is a word meaning strange. Circulating, not strange, was the anagram indicator. And Tharkun *could* be found on the ship west, but I didn't realise that when I used ARK and hunt to produce the clue. Over to Urwen!

Here is another themed one inspired by Pervinca's.
1. Note a befuddled entrance for him 2. A pronoun sits in the middle of a fork for him 3. A metal and an animal surround a headwear in turmoil for him 4. Hindu religious teachers, befuddled, for him 5. A haze and a bar come together in a spin for him 6. Crazy bloomer surrounds a note, in a spin, for him

Could the N one be FINGON? (FOG + INN).
No, not a mind reader ... Galadriel and William had done all the work up to then!

Ah, so is it a MAD ROSE rather than a flower anagram? MAEDHROS, Fingon's friend? H isn't a note, though ....

D would be Fingon's BFF MAEDHROS, assuming one uses German musical notation (H for B, where B = our B-flat): MAD + H + ROSE
EDIT: cross-posted with Pervinca

Well, it is a note, just not a standard one.

I: (Beleg) CUTHALION: Cu (copper) + HAT + LION

Done.

I admit it's not at Pervinca's level, but I try.

Very good- with the quibble that "swamis" doesn't have an E in it.

Well, it says that the word can also be spelled 'swamies' somewhere, so I went with that.

It was excellent, Urwen. You're becoming a dab hand at these!

OK, I'll take a shot
1. To rescue him, you must cut a group of terrorists off at the knees. 2. Voicing a depressive ***, a voiced rune? [OK, donkey. Bloody forum software] 3. A German pursues a backwards revolutionary, in front of his defense. 4. Spanish gold leads to a confused forum topic, not an article. 5. Our German mumbles "Lieber G---" but without energy

It's Pervinca's turn, actually, unless they wish to give it up....

Whoa! Hang on. It's the person who guesses the password that has the next go!
That said, I don't mind. Let it stand.

In that case, I'll take the backseat and let Pervinca solve this one so that they could take their rightful turn.

No, no! I have had lots of turns. And I can't solve all that on my own!

I have an idea number 1 might begin with CEL, because a group of terrorists is a cell.

First points to Pervinca!
1. To rescue him, you must cut a group of terrorists off at the knees. 2. Voicing a depressive ***, a voiced rune? [OK, donkey. Bloody forum software] 3. A German pursues a backwards revolutionary, in front of his defense. ORODRETH: Spanish gold leads to a confused forum topic, not an article. 5. Our German mumbles "Lieber G---" but without energy [How do you generate colored text here?]

Eeyore is a depressive donkey!
Anyone know of a rune that sounds like Eeyore? There's a Viking rune called As/Oss, but that doesn't really get me anywhere. Eeyore sounds like IOR, which begins the name IORHAEL, or IORLAS (or, indeed, IORETH), but I don't think that's what the clue's asking for either. Unless there's a rune called HAEL?
