Feanor certainly doesn't always put those grey cells to the best use. So yes, I agree with you.

And now ... over to you!

Urwen · 06-17-2019, 02:32 PM

This password idea was given to me by one of Nerwen's remarks during her last riddle.

1. Messed up gaiety? Endlessly sick? Something you wear? See it!
2. People who are up to no good? Not in this case!
3. Two drinks form a flower.
4. A movie singer follows direction, and it appears!
5. Extremely dry with a vowel shift? Endless aid? Gather these for her.

Doesn't fit with the theme. Think about your favorite character instead.

When in doubt, turn to Elvish.

Pervinca Took · 06-18-2019, 01:07 AM

That's what I was thinking.

I think I need to figure out the theme first, though.

I am sure you will figure it out.

Pervinca Took · 06-18-2019, 06:08 AM

Hmmm ...

Is it saving/sparing people? The Brandywine took Frodo's parents but spared him? He wasn't in the boat, though.

The Brandywine saves them from the Nazgul?

Pervinca Took · 06-18-2019, 08:48 AM

1. ERECH is an anagram of 'cheer '

Does the Stone of Erech finally free the Dead?

I can only offer S for endless 'sick,' though.

It is saving people, or rather protecting them.

Pervinca Took · 06-18-2019, 12:00 PM

Mithril coat! MIRTH, and you wear it! And has the first two letters of ILL in it.

Password: MOINA (= safe, secure).

Oh ... and N + ENYA = NENYA, which protects Lothlorien.

Also, was my reasoning for BRANDYWINE correct - protecting the hobbits from the Nazgul?

THEME: PEOPLE/PLACES/THINGS THAT PROTECTED SOMETHING/SOMEONE FROM HARM

Urwen · 06-18-2019, 04:26 PM

Over to you.

Pervinca Took · 06-19-2019, 05:10 AM

Great clues, Urwen, and a very nice idea for a theme.

Here you are, then:

1. Edro! Or is it in Mordor's name?
2. Rossetti’s gentle exhortation. Or does it concern a looking-glass?
3. Uttered in Lothlorien. ‘Tis a winding path.
4. To do this or not is the question, thought Iluvatar.
5. I wonder, perplexed, at this urgency!
6. Pinter’s, Werenowska’s or Buffini’s? Whichever! Uttered by one at the Morannon.

EDIT: SO SORRY! I HAD MISSED OUT CLUE 1!

Huinesoron · 06-19-2019, 05:30 AM

3. "EA!" is glossed as "be" or "to be" (I guess it's an imperative)

5. Harold Pinter is a playwright; I vaguely remember doing something of his, but can't place what. It appears Nicola Werenowska is too, and they each have a play called "SILENCE"; I'm guessing that's a Gollum line.

hS

Pervinca Took · 06-19-2019, 06:09 AM

SILENCE! Pinter’s, Werenowska’s or Buffini’s? Whichever! Uttered by one at the Morannon.

So has Buffini ... the only one I've seen! Great play. I only found out the other two had written a play with the same name when I googled to check the author.

'Silence!' is what Gandalf sternly says to Pippin when he springs forward with a cry of grief at the sight of Frodo's mithril coat. That is at the Morannon, I think?

First letters. Red when I have time. Lunch going cold!

EDIT: SO SORRY! I HAD MISSED OUT CLUE 1!

ANOTHER EDIT: hS, maybe you studied The Caretaker, or The Homecoming?

Huinesoron · 06-19-2019, 06:32 AM

All-New All-Different #1: "OPEN! In the name of Mordor!"

Are we on exclamations in general, or specifically imperatives?

Pervinca Took · 06-19-2019, 02:57 PM

Well, right family. But that link mentions more than one of them.

The one you want is female.

Urwen · 06-19-2019, 03:01 PM

Christina Rossetti?

Pervinca Took · 06-19-2019, 03:14 PM

Yes. One of my favourite poets. But the clue refers to one of her most famous poems, and also to a particular Tolkien thing/happening.

Urwen · 06-19-2019, 03:16 PM

Rise?

Pervinca Took · 06-19-2019, 03:36 PM

That's not a poem I've heard of.
