1. Spoil, but beam endlessly within for him.
2. Two geezers join to make a third! (More nicknames than epesses). 3. Disperse racket because ... oh, just see him! 4. Film genre disquiets him a little. 5. He sounds like a mutilated fish. 6. He's a famous gun, give and take a vowel, but lacks sibilance. 7. Endless pastry adds pronoun for him. 8. Turn, turn, and swallow metal for him.

Turin and Turgon are the only names containing 'turn'.

Nope, not Turin.
Or Turgon. Who has said the name has to contain 'turn?'

Oh ... turnover as a pastry! A clever guess, but no.
You're right about turn, turn ... but it doesn't have to be the *actual* word, does it?

I didn't know what you meant by colt. No, colt is not an answer, nor an element of any of the clues.

Bilbo and Balin are wrong, though.

If the password didn't have 8 words, I'd say that the password is Thorin.....

If it weren't for 'endlessly' part of the clue, #1 would have been Maeglin (gleam+in), but since that part exists, it's not......

Ah, now I see where you're going wrong.
'Spoil' isn't an anagram indicator.

Then I am lost. Nothing makes sense. I keep looking for names, but I can only see Balin, Thorin and Maeglin there.
I tried Fundin too, because of father/son possibility, but he doesn't fit either.....

Or if ACH somehow means 'beam', then we'd get Marach. :/

So if the words were 'ruin' and 'plank', the answer would be ru + pla + in. Except that's not a Tolkien name. ^_^ Spoil could be rot-decay-mould, ruin-wreck-damage, or (if Pervinca is a big fan of Time Team) something like earth, dirt, or even slag (heap, as in blast furnace). Or of course 'soil', but that seems a bit too on the nose. Beam could be a noun or a verb, and could be light or wood. I think it's used in ships, too. hS has little time, and no actual ideas, just musings |

It's not as hard as you think. No further correct *answers* at present, though.

I know what #1 is now, and I know your secret weakness too, Pervinca. Just as I am fond of Maeglin, you are fond of Maglor (GLOW-W inside of MAR). And we both used our secret weaknesses quite a lot in our puzzles recently.

But what is the connection between Dwalin and Maglor.....?

MAGLOR: Spoil, but beam endlessly within for him.
2. Two geezers join to make a third! (More nicknames than epesses). 3. Disperse racket because ... oh, just see him! 4. Film genre disquiets him a little. 5. He sounds like a mutilated fish. 6. He's a famous gun, give and take a vowel, but lacks sibilance. 7. Endless pastry adds pronoun for him. DWALIN: Turn, turn, and swallow metal for him. Well, Maglor is probably my favourite of Feanor's sons, and I sympathise with all of them regarding that stupid oath their father pretty much forced on them. But it's really a coincidence that he has ended up in *so* many of my puzzles.

Is racket or disperse an anagram indicator? Also, by famous gun, do you mean a brand of gun or no?

It's a company that makes guns, but given that I have no interest in guns, it is only famous to me because of the title of a film.
And that is all the hints I am giving tonight.

I still stand by my reasoning that #3 is Tuor, because nothing else makes sense.
Unless, of course, you say that 'disperse' is synonym to 'mina', in which case, my answer would be different.
