2. Orofarne.
I figured out the theme. :D |
1. Hey diddle diddle, this earth’s in the centre.
OROFARNE: Sandwich a cookie unevenly around a nasally altered farm and see what springs up. 3. They’ll soothe a sore throat, if the liquid is changed. 4. After hesitation, the fairies’ midwife married him. 5. Christmassy, but dangerous here. IN: What knights say, if you play the tape backwards. 7. A drummer loses nothing, but hisses for them. 8. A singer from the Seventies – hoping to sound like this? TROLL: He’s much nicer when he joins forces with a Moomin. 10. Whether sweet or salt, it cools a hot mouth. I: Simply the first person. 12. You tie one, K? (Take that away). ELVEN-KINGS: Almost a dozen monarchs have lost their way. 14. Of French blood? Well done. Have an oreo! :D |
14. Sang?

Yeah, I got nothing when it comes to the rest of these.

Do G55 and Huey have any ideas?

Best I have is RINGS for 7: Ringo - 0 + SSS. I would need some hints for the rest.

RHYME, more than riddling, should be applied to the first clue. ;) And 4 is cryptic, but quite easily so. |
Hey dol, merry dol, ring-a-ding dillo

Is 1 literally just MIDDLE (-earth)?
For once I got the Shakespeare in #4 unprompted - the fairies' midwife is Queen Mab. But I can't do anything useful with Ummab or Ermab. hS |

I feel like ERMABWED is not much of an improvement either. :D

'More first lines' for the password?

I kinda wanna say FALAS for the Christmassy one, because it's the season with a lot of Fa-la-las, but I don't think it's particularly dangerous, nor can I recall a First Line with it. :D

S could be STING, who has apparently been performing since 1971 (yikes), and has the advantage of being a Tolkien word. I can't pin it to a poem/song though.

Just google 70s male singers/groups. I think it was the name of his group as well. Not Falas either. Look at first lines of songs/poems. All well-known; no more Leonard Nimoy or early versions. |

Fireworks are used during Christmas, and are dangerous to Hobbits in some circumstances, as proven by Merry and Pippin...
|
You're kind of close, in that fire is the correct kind of danger.
Fireworks also feature in another remaining clue. |

RINGS: A drummer loses nothing, but hisses for them. ('The Lord of the Rings' / Is one of those things) If you like it, you do. If you don't, then you boo! |

Fireplace? |

'I sit by the fire and think'. |
Too peaceful. I'm afraid arson and attemped murder are involved ....
Plus that song is one of the other answers. Each clue refers to a different song. |
Is N just NOT? Knot - K?

Voilà!

Fear! Fire! Foes! Awake!

Other than that, there is no words in first lines that are connected with arson...unless...wait! There is! *searches for full text of that one*
|
For the first R, the ONLY bit of the straight clue is They/They'll.
