1. A little town, a dwarf, a lost path and one Master of Ceremonies combine – however tumultuously – for him.
RIAN: She’s like a country in turmoil. ORI: He confuses the French king. ARATHORN: A wilder roar than that will bring him. 5. Vegetable changes vowels and is blended for him. ELENWE: It takes three paths, a sheep, and great unrest to find her. DEAGOL: See a Dark Elf gallivant around for him! ELENDUR: See him suffer lashes, initially, then chaos. 9. Policemen’s chorus loses order and sailor for him. ROMENDACIL: How the toga’d ones were toga’d, he shows, if chaotically. LAURELIN: For this, Petrarch’s muse, (here unsung), meets one who brought us a shieldmaiden, (we hear). 12. With seven pushbacks, it sounds like a seventies serial might cede a fragrant one for a bun fight. THEME: UNTIMELY DEATHS 9. Look for a chorus sung by policemen in a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. Or rather, an expression repeated a lot in a chorus they sing. 5. Try some vegetables with short names.

Policeman's lot is not a happy one? Or just Policeman's lot?

Not that song. There's another song they sing. Same operetta, though.

Ah ... apologies.
Also in ' The Pirates Of Penzance' is a song called 'When The Foeman Bares His Steel.' The 'words' TARAN TARA are sung after nearly every line and also repeatedly as a chorus. I thought they would appear as part of the lyrics when the lyrics appear typed up, but (at least, in the first place I found them, just now) they don't.

He didn't absolutely, completely die, though, did he? Although he was reduced to a sort of impotent shadow.
Big clue: one of his brothers has already been guessed.

I reckon that 1 and 12 are the hardest, so some hints for those?

The second word of the password is DEARLY, but cannot piece together the first.

It doesn't end in 'dearly.'
12. Look up British 70's serials ... one has a middle word that is echoed in the clue. It's not Poldark (only one word). Not 'The Forsyte Saga' (think that might be late sixties anyway). Not 'Upstairs Downstairs' (no middle word!) I think it was played in the daytime, not the evening.

Besides, most if not all of those aren't even serials!
Not series. SERIALS. DRAMA SERIALS.

The Cedar Tree? Cede sounds a bit like Cedar, and it is fragrant.

Forsyte Saga was late sixties-the original anyway. Was in black and white! My mum watched the Cedar tree when I was very young. It was an afternoon thing. Can’t solve clue though.

You start with THE CEDAR TREE. Then you have to 'cede' the most fragrant word of it, and replace it with one that means the same as a bun fight.

THE PARTY TREE: With seven pushbacks, it sounds like a seventies serial might cede a fragrant one for a bun fight. THEME: UNTIMELY DEATHS And seven pushbacks would result in the Y lining up with the other red letters. (I pinched the term 'pushbacks' from a game show called 'The Chase.')

All right.
He's an elf. Put some elements together and see what you come up with.

CELEBRIMBOR: A little town, a dwarf, a lost path and one Master of Ceremonies combine – however tumultuously – for him.
RIAN: She’s like a country in turmoil. ORI: He confuses the French king. ARATHORN: A wilder roar than that will bring him. K: Vegetable changes vowels and is blended for him. ELENWE: It takes three paths, a sheep, and great unrest to find her. DEAGOL: See a Dark Elf gallivant around for him! ELENDUR: See him suffer lashes, initially, then chaos.

THE PARTY TREE: With seven pushbacks, it sounds like a seventies serial might cede a fragrant one for a bun fight. THEME: UNTIMELY DEATHS (They all 'croaked early' or before their time). Now ... how about the remaining clue? P.S. Right end result, if not quite the right method. Yours only provides one B! It's BREE + BORIN - N + IMC.

When kale changes vowels, we get Kili. What a suprise!

Actually, that gives us two Is, and there is only one in Celebrimbor.

Oh yes. Well, an MC, then. And I should have put 'changes path,' because we need an L.
The vegetable I had in mind was LEEK. BLENDED is an anagram indicator. Kale doesn't need one

Here's a new one, hope you enjoy it. Also, I seem to be running out of unused themes......
1. A befuddled dwarf amid two notes reveals him. 2. A dwarf changes vowels for him. 3. Sturdy within untruth? It returns for him. 4. Greek 17th, in a spin, receives the vowel for him. 5. A german note precedes destruction in a spin for him. 6. He sounds like you're gone after tea.

This has been fixed, but I had to alter two of the clues for this.
