No way! Umbar is not number 4's answer?
Anywhen... 4. Lond Daer? 5. Gothmog? 6. Calenardhon? or Rohan? 8. Rorimac? or Old Rory?

No. None of those are correct, I'm afraid.
I'll repeat the clues here for ease of reference: 1. Bag End (Hole in bottom of sack.) 2. Olog-Hai (Superior troops may avoid being petrified in battle.) 3. Beorn (Magician found in Combe or near Archet.) 4. Doomed ocean fortress. 5. Evil one gives love-bite, by the sound of it. 6. Horse lord said to have come to an end at this place. 7. Walda (King reverses commercial edict.) 8. A Hobbit who can take his drink? 9. Orrostar (Headless swordsman and main attraction from Eastern land.) And now some more hints: #4 is not a place. Finwe was on the right track with Eambar. #5 is a bit silly, but what title for an evil one might sound like someone who gives love-bites? #6 is the name of a horse lord, not a place where one died. The second part of the clue is cryptic. As for #8, the correct hobbit's surname, and his grandfather, have been given. I'm just looking for another name for him - one that fits in with the "punnish" clue. Hope that helps.

Well done, Nilpaurion. Your frustration has not been in vain. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
1. Bag End (Hole in bottom of sack.) 2. Olog-Hai (Superior troops may avoid being petrified in battle.) 3. Beorn (Magician found in Combe or near Archet.) 4. Alcarondas (Doomed ocean fortress.) 5. Evil one gives love-bite, by the sound of it. 6. Dunhere (Horse lord said to have come to an end at this place.) 7. Walda (King reverses commercial edict.) 8. Holdwine (A Hobbit who can take his drink?) 9. Orrostar (Headless swordsman and main attraction from Eastern land.) So that just leaves #5 and the small matter of the Password. It's not Aldudénië I'm afraid, Arestevana. Quote:

I can't find the password: My knowledge of Tolkien's mythos is not yet complete. But to end Sauce's reign of terror [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] , I'll share my ideas.
1. At first, I thought that the second to the last letters form the password. They now form this: NARA_NDRA. No word like that, right. What if you reverse it? ANDR_ARAN. Nothing formed still... 2. Then, I realised that maybe the *fill appropriate adjective* Sauce had used some form of step thing. The most promising? NANO_RAIS. Don't know what that means... Wait...is the password SIRANNON?

No, not a Vampire. But where does a vampire ususually bite his or her victims? The answer sounds like someone who might administer a love-bite there. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Bingo! Solved at last.
1. Bag End (Hole in bottom of sack.) 2. Olog-Hai (Superior troops may avoid being petrified in battle.) 3. Beorn (Magician found in Combe or near Archet.) 4. Alcarondas (Doomed ocean fortress.) 5. Necromancer (Evil one gives love-bite, by the sound of it.) 6. Dunhere (Horse lord said to have come to an end at this place.) 7. Walda (King reverses commercial edict.) 8. Holdwine (A Hobbit who can take his drink?) 9. Orrostar (Headless swordsman and main attraction from Eastern land.) The Password is indeed Nob (the answer to the question posed by the first letters of each answer). Well done, Celebrian. The thread is yours. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Is four a mound, or stone, a place for bones? A fifth, a time to be mead a-drinking The sixth is where there lived an Inkling. Seven's a remedy for overheating.

2 still holds its mystery.
6 is indeed Sandfield Road, Turambar! Reposting for this page: One, Gondorian grouping, Butterbur drooping Two, a monster cache, a place of doom: Angband Three, at this age what angst a tweener would be suffering?: Nwalme, torment Is four a mound, or stone, a place for bones? : Tombs 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 Guess eighth and poser end is soon, for it is a burial bloom: Evermind ~~~~~ "Nemo omnia, quae nec videntur nec videri possunt, miribilia mundi vel intelliget vel animo finget." <font size=1 color=339966>[ 2:50 PM December 12, 2003: Message edited by: Celebrian ] <font size=1 color=339966>[ 3:57 PM December 13, 2003: Message edited by: Celebrian ]
