4. Helluin

Ah, some good answers there. :)
'Nauglamir' is correct. All others wrong, but Nilpaurion is very very close with the guess for no. 8 ... just follow all of the steps in the clue... |
4. Sirius?
8. The Followers or The Aftercomers? |
Don't ask...
#2 - The new Sawmill in the Shire?
#9 - Cirith Ungol? |
#4 Luinil ?
|
8. Followers?
|
Hmmm...
8. Hildórien?
|
NightKnight is right with the Aftercomers. (A translation of Hildor).
Turambar is right with Luinil. :) Cirith Ungol is wrong. Nilpaurion's first guess at #9 was good. #2 ... nope. If you need any hints, yell... |
9. Winding Stair?
|
Nope.
|
The other stair, with the name I can't remember? :p
|
*grins*
No, it's not a stairway. As I said, Nilpaurion was almost right with Cirith Forn en Andrath. Almost.... ;) |
Perhaps you meant the more common version of its name used by Gandalf, "the High Pass"?
|
No. The High Pass isn't passed by Greenway. You need to go further south.
|
Update (as I drive myself mad going back and forth between pages ;)):
1. Gladden Fields - Cheery hideout stands before stretches of grass. 2. Robin Smallburrow - Confused Sam will burn or rob. 3. Araman - Half a judge follows Elvish noble in barren wasteland. 4. Luinil - Blue-shining star. 5. Woses - A lack of direction makes Wild Men miserable. 6. Nauglamir - Gift to Elvish leader causes his downfall. 7. Strawheads - Incomers precede heads with dried grass to mock thralls. 8. Aftercomers - Beginnings of a hobbit's departed uncle meet Elvish land, and are translated for men. 9. Andrath - Long Climb passed by Greenway. |
9. Redhorn Pass/Pass of Caradhras?
|
No. Check Greenway's path, and remember the 'long climb' bit. When I say Nilpaurion was close, it's not because he chose a mountain pass.
|
Then it has to be Andrath, which means "long climb".
|
1. Dunharrow?
|
My 16" gun blew up, so I'm using the Mk-26 missile launcher...
9. Tharbad?
|
Andrath it is. :)
Dunharrow is wrong. So ... just some cryptic things left now ... again, shout if hints are needed... |
7. Incomers precede heads with dried grass to mock thralls.
The Incomers are the Easterlings who call the Edain of Hithlum Strawheads and make them thralls. |
2) Master of Doom?
|
#5 Woses --> woe without the S's ?
#1 Gladden Fields ? *shouts for hint on #2* |
Ooh, good answers.
Lindolirian is right with 'strawheads'. Turambar is right with 'woses' and 'gladden fields'. As for #2 ... well, it's confused 'sam will burn or rob'. So take confused as having its usual cryptic meaning - ie, indicating an anagram - and see what you can do with the letters. Hint: You're looking for a living being. Should be easier now. ;) |
Robin Smallburrow? Though you seem to have an extra "R", and no "W". :)
|
Robin Smallburrow it is. :)
The 'w' is from 'will', and there are 3 'r's (burn or rob) and 3 'r's in Robin Smallburrow. So it should work. ;) Password, anyone? |
The completed clues:
1. Gladden Fields - Cheery hideout stands before stretches of grass. 2. Robin Smallburrow - Confused Sam will burn or rob. 3. Araman - Half a judge follows Elvish noble in barren wasteland. 4. Luinil - Blue-shining star. 5. Woses - A lack of direction makes Wild Men miserable. 6. Nauglamir - Gift to Elvish leader causes his downfall. 7. Strawheads - Incomers precede heads with dried grass to mock thralls. 8. Aftercomers - Beginnings of a hobbit's departed uncle meet Elvish land, and are translated for men. 9. Andrath - Long Climb passed by Greenway. |
Oops - you're right - well, that was a nice scramble, then. http://forum.barrowdowns.com/ubb/icons/icon14.gif
|
Thanks!
Anyone going to venture a guess at this password? (Hint: look at the second letters in each word) |
Olofantur?
An earlier name for Irmo/Lórien? ;)
|
Woohoo!
That would be correct. :)
Continue! |
Thanks!
Plese wait for my next puzzle. It'll be here in a bit...well...maybe longer than that.
|
'ere we go...
1. Old and Elder.
2. Elvish solar year. 3. V. Eärendil - He was the fifth king of Gondor. 4. Sounds like a diminutive king. 5. Hobbit between one hot table. Enjoy. Be safe. Don't follow the lights. ;) |
obvious guesses
#2 Yen
#1- Tom Bombadil? |
4) Prince?
|
Shurely shome mistake ...
Nil, is that the answer to #3, or is it part of the clue?
|
Ok...
Sauce, that was the answer for #3.
As for your guesses, hmmm...wrong! Some clues (before I am exiled for a week to the provinces): 1, 4, and 5 are cryptic. The rest are not. :) |
#1 Gnome?
|
2. Coraner?
