English slang.

Think of Dastardly and ****ley. :D

How did you guess? :D

I'd already written it when you posted yours.

Oliphaunts for the last one?

No. N is the second letter.

That's what's meant by the fox being the only one 'not on secondment.'

And over to Urwen!

Well, a quick one, maybe

1. A monetary expression, or a Weasley, for him.
2. Bugs, synonymously, for them.
3. Aredhel, minus two directions (at tail), produces this
4. Consume (in a swirl), or drink this.
5. Steed of the unfortunate, or a bothersome insect, rearranged.

1. Bill.
4. Tea (from 'eat').

2. Spies? Midges? Neekerbreekers?

BILL: A monetary expression, or a Weasley, for him.
2. Bugs, synonymously, for them.
3. Aredhel, minus two directions (at tail), produces this
TEA: Consume (in a swirl), or drink this.
5. Steed of the unfortunate, or a bothersome insect, rearranged.


No to the rest. Most of the clues are related to real life things.

2. Ants /Aunts?

5. Hasufel? (Well, it has 'flea' in it).

What's another word for 'bugs'?

Insects.

BILL: A monetary expression, or a Weasley, for him.
INSECTS: Bugs, synonymously, for them.
3. Verb, initially, and pertaining to mouth. It's all muddled for them.
TEA: Consume (in a swirl), or drink this.
5. Steed of the unfortunate, or a bothersome insect, rearranged.

Yes, also clue 3 was wrong, so I changed it.

3. V + oral = olvar

5. Snowmane?

Biots for the password, apparently meaning feathers?

BILL: A monetary expression, or a Weasley, for him.
INSECTS: Bugs, synonymously, for them.
OLVAR: Verb, initially, and pertaining to mouth. It's all muddled for them.
TEA: Consume (in a swirl), or drink this.
5. Steed of the unfortunate, or a bothersome insect, rearranged.

Not Biots, but close by one letter.

BIOTA?

'The animal and plant life of a particular region.'

ARROCH for the steed? (ROACH + R).

Urwen?

BILL: A monetary expression, or a Weasley, for him.
INSECTS: Bugs, synonymously, for them.
OLVAR: Verb, initially, and pertaining to mouth. It's all muddled for them.
TEA: Consume (in a swirl), or drink this.
ARROCH: Steed of the unfortunate, or a bothersome insect, rearranged.

There we go.

Here we go, then:

1. Shoe loses two pronouns, we 'ear, to reveal it. (4)
2. He describes what a bad rider did, with a pencil top in the exact middle? (2)
3. Elemental trochee reveals him. (4)
4. Illuminated anapaest - see him! (3)
5. Caviar and chicken mingle with a wherefore and lose their way for him? (4)
6. A German dwelling, a fricative, a note and a liquid unite. One of them slightly mingles for him. (6)
7. Mixed up lady in an inverted lens - dehydrated? See him! (1)

It's been a while, but I'm gonna pretend my brain is functioning again...

#5: Roe + hen + y, -... well, either an R, E, or N for a direction. It comes quite close to making ROHERYN, losing the E, but then "a wherefore" needs to be RY / YR, which I can't quite make fit. Also, (4) wouldn't indicate either the spelling or the book/chapter he's in (though could be 'what was the last Age he lived in), and, er... I don't know that Roheryn is even a male horse. :D
