That's for you to guess. :D

7. Turin (Turnover-over+I)
|
1. Spoil, but beam endlessly within for him.
2. Two geezers join to make a third! (More nicknames than epesses). 3. Disperse racket because ... oh, just see him! 4. Film genre disquiets him a little. 5. He sounds like a mutilated fish. 6. He's a famous gun, give and take a vowel, but lacks sibilance. 7. Endless pastry adds pronoun for him. 8. Turn, turn, and swallow metal for him. |
Turin and Turgon are the only names containing 'turn'.
|
Nope, not Turin.
Or Turgon. Who has said the name has to contain 'turn?' |
3. Leod, from DOLE
|
Nope.

Also, is my guess and reasoning for 7th clue correct? These are difficult..... |
Oh ... turnover as a pastry! A clever guess, but no.
You're right about turn, turn ... but it doesn't have to be the *actual* word, does it? |
So a synonym of turn?
|
Could be. ;)
|
Quote:
But it might not be, is that it? |
So the gun isn't colt either?
|
I didn't know what you meant by colt. No, colt is not an answer, nor an element of any of the clues.
|
I got clue 8!
Dwalin (AL within WIND) And 6 is Bilbo (from BB) |
And 1 is Balin (BALK-K + IN)
|
1. Spoil, but beam endlessly within for him.
2. Two geezers join to make a third! (More nicknames than epesses). 3. Disperse racket because ... oh, just see him! 4. Film genre disquiets him a little. 5. He sounds like a mutilated fish. 6. He's a famous gun, give and take a vowel, but lacks sibilance. 7. Endless pastry adds pronoun for him. DWALIN: Turn, turn, and swallow metal for him. Well done! Dwalin is correct. Bilbo and Balin are wrong, though. |
Theme: Dwarves?
|
Not dwarves.
|
If the password didn't have 8 words, I'd say that the password is Thorin.....
|
If it weren't for 'endlessly' part of the clue, #1 would have been Maeglin (gleam+in), but since that part exists, it's not...... :(
|
Ah, now I see where you're going wrong.
'Spoil' isn't an anagram indicator. |
Then 1 is Thorin (ROT+IN)
|
Nope. It ain't.
|
Then I am lost. Nothing makes sense. I keep looking for names, but I can only see Balin, Thorin and Maeglin there.
I tried Fundin too, because of father/son possibility, but he doesn't fit either..... |
Or if ACH somehow means 'beam', then we'd get Marach. :/
|
5. Amdir (MARD+I)
|
1. Amroth (HARM+THROW-W)
|

So if the words were 'ruin' and 'plank', the answer would be ru + pla + in. Except that's not a Tolkien name. ^_^ Spoil could be rot-decay-mould, ruin-wreck-damage, or (if Pervinca is a big fan of Time Team) something like earth, dirt, or even slag (heap, as in blast furnace). Or of course 'soil', but that seems a bit too on the nose. Beam could be a noun or a verb, and could be light or wood. I think it's used in ships, too. hS has little time, and no actual ideas, just musings |

It's not as hard as you think. No further correct *answers* at present, though. |
|
I know what #1 is now, and I know your secret weakness too, Pervinca. Just as I am fond of Maeglin, you are fond of Maglor (GLOW-W inside of MAR). And we both used our secret weaknesses quite a lot in our puzzles recently.
|
But what is the connection between Dwalin and Maglor.....?
|
MAGLOR: Spoil, but beam endlessly within for him.
2. Two geezers join to make a third! (More nicknames than epesses). 3. Disperse racket because ... oh, just see him! 4. Film genre disquiets him a little. 5. He sounds like a mutilated fish. 6. He's a famous gun, give and take a vowel, but lacks sibilance. 7. Endless pastry adds pronoun for him. DWALIN: Turn, turn, and swallow metal for him. Well, Maglor is probably my favourite of Feanor's sons, and I sympathise with all of them regarding that stupid oath their father pretty much forced on them. But it's really a coincidence that he has ended up in *so* many of my puzzles. |
Password: Gondolin?
|
Afraid not.
|
Is racket or disperse an anagram indicator? Also, by famous gun, do you mean a brand of gun or no?
|
It's a company that makes guns, but given that I have no interest in guns, it is only famous to me because of the title of a film.
And that is all the hints I am giving tonight. ;) |
Well, I found Smith and Wesson. If we remove sibilants, we have Mith and Weon......
|
I still stand by my reasoning that #3 is Tuor, because nothing else makes sense. :p
Unless, of course, you say that 'disperse' is synonym to 'mina', in which case, my answer would be different. |
