Balin for B one.

Pervinca Took · 02-15-2023, 08:52 AM

DORA: Unlike at least two of her kinsmen, this one is most likely no explorer!
IRMO: Gardener and dream-keeper?
SAEROS: Elvish gob****e forced to go commando – and the rest.
YELLOW: The facial hue that Gollum dreads?
LOTHO: A guy with a salty wife starts to howl, revealing him.
LINDON: Find this fair place in a tunnel in Doncaster!
APPLE: Projectile fruit for a Breeland gob****e.
B A famous gravestone bears his name.
ISEN: It flows through Paris. It mingles and loses direction. Then it flows again.
C A warrior. But changed fully at his core, and flipped at either side of it, he is cruel no longer.

Good idea, though.

Urwen · 02-15-2023, 08:56 AM

Gorthaur comes to mind for C one.

Nothing to do with Gorthaur.

Urwen · 02-15-2023, 08:59 AM

Then what does 'cruel' mean?

Pervinca Took · 02-15-2023, 09:03 AM

It means cruel. The clue is cryptic.

Urwen · 02-15-2023, 09:04 AM

Celegorm?

Urwen · 02-15-2023, 09:11 AM

Or just Ceorl, by changing the u in CRUEL to O, and rearranging the word?

Pervinca Took · 02-15-2023, 09:12 AM

No.

I (pretty much) always account for every letter in my clues.

That's more like it. And flipping the letters either side of the U.

Barrow?

Pervinca Took · 02-15-2023, 09:36 AM

No.

It's a name that appears on a gravestone.

Urwen · 02-15-2023, 09:42 AM

Which one? A real-life one?

Pervinca Took · 02-15-2023, 10:23 AM

Could be.

Urwen · 02-15-2023, 10:30 AM

Beleg?

Pervinca Took · 02-15-2023, 10:33 AM

No.

Urwen · 02-15-2023, 10:54 AM

I am out, then.

Pervinca Took · 02-15-2023, 12:44 PM

You were warm when you said 'real life.'

Indeed! Well done. And over to you!

Urwen · 02-16-2023, 06:47 AM

Well, I've managed to come up with this.

1. Son of the one called crafty.
2. [Name], son of...
3. One of leaf-droppers
4. A messenger.
5. ...[Name]
6. A villain by another title
7. Used to deceive her spouse by the one above.
8. One of the four that 'bow to no one'.

Hope you like it!

(P.S: I am not sure 7 fits the theme, but the text implies she does.)

Pervinca Took · 02-16-2023, 08:47 AM

3. Pippin?

1. Maeglin / Lomion?

Galadriel55 · 02-16-2023, 07:06 PM

1. Celebrimbor, son of Curufin? Both crafty and craftsy.

Oh, and A/U must be AGARWAEN, son of UMARTH.
