Well, you're right about 'a hunt.' But it's the wrong hunt.

Still thinking of hunts... I believe Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas are called the three hunters. If you count the hunt for Gollum to be a thing, Gandalf and Aragorn. I feel that as I still don't know what to do with this information, I am probably still on the wrong track.

THREE: How many hobbits to a) be company and b) destroy a Ring?
HUNTERS: Participants in la chasse, as the French would say. 3. Take the second of a golden present. 4. Prayers on a star? 5. Take the third of the third to exist when the Istari came. 6. It’s a hard thing when Harriet Beecher changes direction, (3/4 pence). Quite right about the hunt, and almost there on the prayer clue.

HUNTERS: Participants in la chasse, as the French would say. ARTANIS'S GIFT TO GIMLI: Take the second of a golden present. 4. Prayers on a star? 5. Take the third of the third to exist when the Istari came. 6. It’s a hard thing when Harriet Beecher changes direction, (3/4 pence). I'll accept that, because I think you were referring to Galadriel's gift to Gimli.

I gave up trying to think of something clever for the prayers and looked them up. The Three Prayers in Numenor were the Erukyermë, the Erulaitalë and the Eruhantalë. Any of these?

Take the third of the third to exist when the Istari came. 6. It’s a hard thing when Harriet Beecher changes direction, (3/4 pence). I thought ERUKYERME meant all three of the prayers together. Just looked it up again, and it's just one of the three, as you rightly state. Apologies! That was the answer, but I've amended the answer to all three of them. 'On a star' means 'on a star-shaped island,' of course.

It’s almost definitely threes, which means 5 is not Narya.

1. Eye fluids are disturbed, with a vowel switch, and they emerge.
2. Types of boats? Well, not really. They are high. 3. A pen is mightier than these, even if they're deadly.

2. Are there boats called TOWERS, because they tow things? TOWERS are high.
3. SWORDS, from the famous saying? And could the password be TWO? Using the third letter of each answer? ... 1. TREES! Two of all three. The swords could be Orcrist and Glamdring, perhaps?

Correct-o

Short, but very sweet! Thank you.
And here we go again: 1. He’s fierce! Vehicle … scorch at great and troubling temperature! 2. Stone cat – proportion without direction, but noted. Why, we ask? And such spin, for an unpleasant way to go! 3. She’s more innovative, with vowel switch and further revolution. 4. He’s sibilant immediately - sounds like a principal. 5. Greeted Radagast, initially, in his confusion. 6. Fruity soap goes end to front to form something much sharper. 7. Large stones, thrown about, lose the original fourth for them, (a multitude, parenthetically). 8. French finished, you hear, with Laurie Lee’s village? Mingling reveals her. 9. No clearing around him. 10. Like Covid, but the next category downwards. 11. Very cold place loses chariot of somewhere very hot (or so it sounds) to leave a weapon? 12. At that time, a song within him. 13. Pester for an animal. 14. Ledge containing French husband produces a shiny thing.

#8: I tried FIN + SLAD (thanks to Wikipedia), and stared at it for a minute before realising I could go for fini > FINUI + SLAD = FINDUILAS.
#12 sounds like something inside THEN. ODE would fit as a song, to give THEODEN. hS

1. I think is CARCHAROTH: CAR + CHAR + HOT
11. Might be HELCARAXE - HEL(L) CAR= AXE

#14: I vaguely recall from a song that the French for husband sounds like 'marry'. SILL + MARI = SILMARIL?
#10: if taken literally and considering the Middle-earth theme, PLAGUE is a possibility. hS
