BUNGO: Underground? Overground? Womble, that's he.
DAUR: Medical chap swallows half a Vala for him. GOLDILOCKS: Deity overlaps short palindrome girl to meet perturbed footwear? A bigger girl emerges. MERRY: Mouse changes heads to reveal him? NINNYHAMMER: Hard word. Starts with clear direction to a pub. But why, I say? To finish it off with a dwarvish tool. ADALGRIM'S AUNT: Palindrome girl leads the way to a teacup omen - he's there, but the whole answer is one of his female relatives. ELANOR: One solitary girl? It's revolutionary. PRIMROSE: Not poetry, but it contains edge - and then she appears. S His posterior leapfrogs and is disorientated, but meets a headless 80s singer. Nearly! Try another name for Sharkey. |
Saruman?

Well, E does too, but since the arse is disorientated, it loses its E altogether. (Probably mid-jump). Then it meets [GARY N]UMAN. As the singer is headless, the N is lost. And over to Urwen. |
Thank you, and here goes
1. Direction, that is. Harry's bestie runs back. She appears. 2. A girl and a boy form him. 3. A Teletubby followed by a strike, in confusion. It leads to her. 4. 'A hollow is irrelevant, shortly' says he 5. Endless pee? Put the first of tummy up front and assemble him. 6. Devoted to a certain Vala? That is he. 7. A novel sun god returns to her, mirrored 8. First three of a Vala meet circular one in German, all for her. 9. A Dwarvish weapon, a hard-shelled fruit and an Egyptian god mix up for him. |
1. N-IE-NOR (Ron).
I like that one! |
3. Lalaith.
La-la + hit. |
8. YAV-IEN (ein).
|
7. Arwen.
(new ra). |
2. Ella-dan?
|
#5: T+URIN?
hS |
I think it's Nel------- .
Probably an elvish word meaning the three houses (of men) - or maybe the third house. |
9. I can't find the whole of AXE in any male name, but there is AXANTOR, who seems to fit with the other answers.

Where's the fruit, though? There isn't even a U to make NUT, (which is also an Egyptian God-is that in the same clue?) |
NIENOR: Direction, that is. Harry's bestie runs back. She appears.
ELLADAN: A girl and a boy form him. LALAITH: A Teletubby followed by a strike, in confusion. It leads to her. 4. A hollow is irrelevant, shortly' says he TURIN: Endless pee?

Okay, two left, and they should be Elrohir and Oromendil. So: #6: OROMENDIL literally means 'devoted to Orome'. :) So #4 ELROHIR? It's an anagram of 'HOLE IRR(elevant)'. With the password being... Neletonya? Probably Telerin-influenced Quenya for 'my three children', though I'm sure other translations are possible. hS |

Thanks! So was it 'My three children', or was there a different meaning?
In this one the [numbers] indicate which letter you need. And two of the answers are in Elvish. 1. - An old man eats, hears an old thorn. [1] 2. - Kick it in, lose the first in third but gain the fourth, and Bilbo brings it home. [3] 3. - A policeman to fill the tubs. [5] 4. - Of old a lower vista for Fred's wife, mother of rock. [4] 5. - What the wizard brings to five plus a vowel. [4] 6. - In forbidden tongue the type of gaol is more than half cross, note. [2] 7. - Noble when hot? Tyler sounds uncertain. [3] 8. - Thrice ten is a lot, but only three each below the window and in the song. [1] hS |

7. WATER
'O! Water Hot is a noble thing!' Oh! And WAT (TYLER) plus ER. Giving is a T, I do believe. |

4. Is 4 something like BEDROCK, or just bed? I suppose Fred's wife is Wilma?
With the theme being something about songs and poems - elements or subjects within them, perhaps? 'Water hot' is one, and 'And then to bed!' is in another song. Maybe it's hobbit songs? |

It's WILMA. 1. - An old man eats, hears an old thorn. [1] 2. - Kick it in, lose the first in third but gain the fourth, and Bilbo brings it home. [3] 3. - A policeman to fill the tubs. [5] WILMA - Of old a lower vista for Fred's wife, mother of rock. [4] 5. - What the wizard brings to five plus a vowel. [4] 6. - In forbidden tongue the type of gaol is more than half cross, note. [2] WATER - Noble when hot? Tyler sounds uncertain. [3] 8. - Thrice ten is a lot, but only three each below the window and in the song. [1] (It's an older Quenya word for the 'lower airs', as a subset of vista, the airs as a whole.) hS |
I suppose even elves need a word for when mortals have farted. :D

Password: Elements?
|
You know what - I thought 'elements,' but went looking for an elvish word with two W's in it.
(Facepalm). |
Quote:
1. E - An old man eats, hears an old thorn. [1] 2. L - Kick it in, lose the first in third but gain the fourth, and Bilbo brings it home. [3] 3. E - A policeman to fill the tubs. [5] WILMA - Of old a lower vista for Fred's wife, mother of rock. [4] 5. E - What the wizard brings to five plus a vowel. [4] 6. N - In forbidden tongue the type of gaol is more than half cross, note. [2] WATER - Noble when hot? Tyler sounds uncertain. [3] 8. S - Thrice ten is a lot, but only three each below the window and in the song. [1] So, er... good luck with the rest of the clues? hS |
I've checked the list of elements (Fire, Earth, Air, Water, Ice, Electricity, Light and Darkness) but none of them have required letters in the required positions...
Am I missing something here? |

Not related to the question, but where did you pull that list from? It's clearly modern, but other than 'not Pokemon' I can't really narrow it down. hS |

From here |

2. GOLD: "Kick it in" = GOAL, "lose the first in third" = the A in third place, "but gain the fourth" = the fourth letter in the fourth place, "and Bilbo brings it home" = well, he does. Urwen, that was some brilliant passwording. And Hui, that is some creative password-setting! EDIT: I have a funny feeling 8 is SILVER, for the thirty silver pieces Barliman "donated" to the cause... But can't explain it. |
Quote:
Oh! I've got it. SIL is 3 letters from a SILL, which is below a window, and VER is 3 letters from VERSE. EDIT: 3. COPPER. Slang for policeman, and a copper can be a tub/receptacle. 1. EARTH? Ear, eat ... thorn made the 'th' sound? 5. FIRE, brought by Gandalf? |

Um... okay, #6 is not an English word, and part of the clue explains that. hS |
I assume the forbidden tongue is either Quenya or Black speech.

Anga?

I... am... not sure, in hindsight, why I didn't just use IRON for that last one, except that it would have made WILMA stand out even more. Over to URWEN, and well done all. :) hS |
New one.
1. Something that knights say, England and a conjuction, all for her. 2. Air, right now. In disarray, she is there. 3. He is full of enthusiasm (Rearranged) 4. Returning direction and a male name lead to her. 5. Spanish article and pronoun form an Elven king. 6. In a mirror, things that go on and on reveal him. 7. God ran in circles. He appears. 8. Transition (movie-wise) an evil robot and a particle come together for him. 9. An ancient nomad tribe, sans direction, and a Norse God. For someone done in by a rock. 10. Confused ladies find a way, for her. 11. Maeglin loses a head, for him. 12. A preposition between a long and short direction. It's all in disarray, and backwards. For him. 13. Note a throne in disarray, for him. 14. An entrance, an article and a direction. All in the muddle. For a king. 15. Boaz's wife returns endlessly. Add a preposition for a tragic hero. 16. An element precedes muddled destruction, for him. Finding different ways to portray the same answer is fun. :cool: |
1. NIENNA - NI + EN(gland) + and (short)?
