Thumbs up That's it!

1. Nob Initially north of Bree.
2. Odo Ringbearer without flinging Ring first.
3. Bob Stable boy of the Pony.

Now, what's the password?

A hint: One thing in common.

Can you explain #2 ?

Kind of a sideways palindrome you've got going there - reading down starting from the 1st, 2nd and 2rd letters of "Nob", you get Nob-Odo-Bob again. Very clever.

The Ringbearer is Frodo, without the first letters of Flinging Ring (Fr), which makes Odo.

The Eye Neither are correct.

The letters of the clues themselves provide nothing to the password, but the clues have one thing in common. That's the password.

*skims rules* I'm pretty sure it was legal. Anyway, here's the new puzzle:

1. Amon Din: The silent place on which I am.
2. River Running: Water sprinted to the east.
3. Horn Call of Buckland: Hobbits are afraid because their enemies have torches.
4. Weathertop: Atmospheric Conditions on the upside.
5. Indis: Mother of the one with the sharp tongue.
6. Indor: Morwen's kinsman not outside.
7. Gamgee: Faithful companion ends up turning right.

None of those.

#6 isn't going anywhere. Turambar's guess was the closest so far.
#3 is entirely cryptic.
In #7 "faithful companion" is the straight clue.
