Ringbearer?

Urwen · 07-13-2019, 07:31 AM

But that has nothing to do with 'ma' or with 'colander'.

Pervinca Took · 07-13-2019, 07:32 AM

Not master. What do you drain lettuce or boiled veg in?

Also, you need an expression of surprise for the 'Goodness me!' to begin it with ... although 'Ma' is actually right for the 'my' bit.

Urwen · 07-13-2019, 07:40 AM

Cormacolindor?

I do see two final bits, but not 'goodness me' bit.

Pervinca Took · 07-13-2019, 07:53 AM

CORMACOLINDO: ‘Goodness me, my lettuce-draining implement!’ we seem to hear him cry, (roughly speaking).

PASSWORD: MAURA

COR! (An expression of surprise. Is it just a British expression, I wonder?)

Just knock the end off to get the singular. 'Cormacolindor' on the Field of Cormallen referred to both Frodo and Sam as The Ringbearers.

Urwen · 07-13-2019, 08:06 AM

Is the last one Bronwe Athan Harthad (Tara+Wan+Heat; the only thing missing is the fireplace.....)

Urwen · 07-13-2019, 08:11 AM

You up for making a new riddle, btw?

Pervinca Took · 07-13-2019, 08:55 AM

CORMACOLINDO: ‘Goodness me, my lettuce-draining implement!’ we seem to hear him cry, (roughly speaking).
DAUR: He’s not nearly as stern as he sounds.

IORHAEL: French king returns – hear a word of praise for him!

PASSWORD: MAURA
THEME: FRODO

The elements, though, are (Eleanor) BRON + WAN + HEAT + A + HEARTH - E + D (sings a different note/tune - change note letter for a different note).

(I meant the original 'Alfie,' with Michael Caine).

The original password was FRODO, but I'd have had to get the F from ELF-FRIEND, which is good and true, but perhaps not quite as specific as CORMACOLINDOR/RINGBEARER.

Over to you! Well done.

I can't make another riddle just now, I'm afraid.

Urwen · 07-13-2019, 12:09 PM

My well of themed passwords is quickly drying up. It'll be a while until I make the next one.

1. Her physical condition is haywire.
2. Temporary provision of money reveals her (chaotically).
3. A nasal in the middle of fractured bird claw, for him.
4. Note, he is unyielding, in turmoil.

Pervinca Took · 07-14-2019, 07:11 AM

1. HALETH, from HEALTH?

Urwen · 07-16-2019, 04:14 AM

Pervinca, where u at?

Huinesoron · 07-16-2019, 05:45 AM

All I see is a bunch of anagrams I can't get anything out of.

#2 seems likely to include 'loan', and #3 is probably talon + n, but I'd have to resort to brute-force attacking them with a searchable database to get anything else out of them. I don't really want to do that; it feels like cheating.

(Which is why I personally usually try to give a moderately specific straight clue. Different clue styles, &c &c. This is fine and probably cleverer clues than mine.

)

hS

Pervinca Took · 07-16-2019, 08:45 AM

I am at the same stage as Huinesoron - stuck at loan and talon.

Only possibility I see for the password is HUAN, but maybe it's an elvish word and not Huan at all.

Urwen · 07-16-2019, 09:03 AM

What if it's TALON+M?

Pervinca Took · 07-16-2019, 01:13 PM

I tried that but didn't come up with anything.

...

TOLMAN?

Perhaps they both wore snazzy HATS?

Or they share their names with minor Star Wars characters, just like the obscure Elvish word HOTH?

(Wait, that's not actually obscure at all...)

hS

Urwen · 07-19-2019, 03:54 AM

Huinesoron is close with HOTH, if you do some vowel-swappin'.

Pervinca Took · 07-19-2019, 04:28 AM

HATH is Primitive Elvish for treat kindly/help to cure.

Not that.

Pervinca Took · 07-19-2019, 04:32 AM

HITH (mist) seems even less likely.

Pervinca Took · 07-19-2019, 04:35 AM

HETH is sibling. Is it sibling pairs?

Not at all. It was challenging. Not an easy feat when we have all written and solved so many, and on so many different themes.

Pervinca Took · 07-19-2019, 04:48 AM

Also, both are youngest-and-oldest-sibling pairs.

Urwen · 07-19-2019, 04:53 AM

Over to you.

Pervinca Took · 07-19-2019, 05:13 AM

1. Note, more lowly he sounds.
2. Befuddled elephant sings differently for him.
3. Events a royal initially disturbs, ever so slightly, reveal her.
4. Jaws's unsung spying organ? Not just a hungry predator, though. Actually evil.
5. Send the remainder back! Surround the pen fluid! Adjust very
slightly for him.
6. Elver's parent sings at this time, although a little out of sync, for her.
7. He joins Elizabeth Windsor, once one jumps out to the front.

Urwen · 07-19-2019, 06:34 AM
