NUMENOR: Port loses note, you hear? ... troubled is this realm.
MIRIEL: Edge back, lie around, but don’t blame her.
S IRANNON: Norse bard loses direction, but mingles with valley for a flower.
DAGORLAD: Happy street, yet troubled? It’s plain.
F I L I BERT: Dwarf meets troll for a Bolger.

Yes. Your go.

But can you guess the port? It's not a million miles from Numenor, and contains six of its letters ....

Urwen · 08-29-2015, 12:38 PM

Nothing comes to mind, but I have the list of world ports, so I am sure I'll find something that matches.

In the meantime, here are my clues

1. A stick does a backward flip and lands in the middle of an article for a flower
2. A chaser loses half of himself and gains direction in front.....but this area is unknown
3. This warrior put his garb on backwards
4. The explorer is a Hobbit
5. A shortened hill meets reversed stick for a race
6. Eternal memory is a bloomer
7. Crippled mafia boss is a region

Pervinca Took · 08-29-2015, 12:45 PM

ROMENNA - lose note (A), and you hear a you (U). 'Trouble' (jumble) that and you get NUMENOR.

6 is SIMBELMYNE, or Evermind.

7. I spent quite a lot of today in the land of NOD, which is an anagram of DON, but I don't think NOD has a Tolkien connection.

Urwen · 08-29-2015, 12:46 PM

Nope, but 6 is.

1. A stick does a backward flip and lands in the middle of an article for a flower
2. A chaser loses half of himself and gains direction in front.....but this area is unknown
3. This warrior put his garb on backwards
4. The explorer is a Hobbit
5. A shortened hill meets reversed stick for a race
6. EVERMIND: Eternal memory is a bloomer
7. Crippled mafia boss is a region

As for 7, you got one part right, now think about what other word can be used instead of crippled and put that word before said boss. <3

You helped me out a lot in the previous round, so I am returning the favor.

Pervinca Took · 08-29-2015, 01:00 PM

LAMEDON!

Of course. I think I used it as an answer once myself, but many passwords ago. I had forgotten.

I thought 'crippled' was an anagram indicator and so went astray.

Urwen · 08-29-2015, 01:02 PM

7. LAMEDON: Crippled mafia boss is a region

Pervinca Took · 08-29-2015, 01:43 PM

I wonder if 4 could be Peregrin, because that is a name that means explorer, I think.

Urwen · 08-29-2015, 01:47 PM

Nope. Googling 'the explorer' might help.

Pervinca Took · 08-29-2015, 01:55 PM

Well, Marco Polo was a famous explorer. Polo? (Because I don't think there was a hobbit called Marco, only Marcho).

EDIT: Although googling would suggest it is DORA (Dora the Explorer). Eldest surviving female relative of Bilbo and Frodo.

Urwen · 08-29-2015, 02:14 PM

T'is so indeed.

1. A stick does a backward flip and lands in the middle of an article for a flower
2. A chaser loses half of himself and gains direction in front.....but this area is unknown
3. This warrior put his garb on backwards
4. DORA: The explorer is a Hobbit
5. A shortened hill meets reversed stick for a race
6. EVERMIND: Eternal memory is a bloomer
7. LAMEDON: Crippled mafia boss is a region

Now for remaining ones, synonyms might help. Also, the first clue actually has the needed article within it. Also, the first clue is inspired by your clues.

Pervinca Took · 08-29-2015, 02:26 PM

1. A stick does a backward flip and lands in the middle of an article for a flower

The river ADORN. 'Rod' backwards in the middle of the article 'an.'

Pervinca Took · 08-29-2015, 02:28 PM

And AREDHEL for the password?

Urwen · 08-29-2015, 02:29 PM

1. ADORN: A stick does a backward flip and lands in the middle of an article for a flower
2. A chaser loses half of himself and gains direction in front.....but this area is unknown
3. This warrior put his garb on backwards
4. DORA: The explorer is a Hobbit
5. A shortened hill meets reversed stick for a race
6. EVERMIND: Eternal memory is a bloomer
7. LAMEDON: Crippled mafia boss is a region

The 'reversed stick' in 4 is also 'dor'. Can you see the password yet?

Pervinca Took · 08-29-2015, 02:33 PM

See above.

HILDOR for 5. I put the letters together myself, but had to google to see if it was the name of a race. As indeed it is - a name used by Elves for the race of men, meaning Followers or Aftercomers.

And EBOR for number 3, the warrior one. (Robe backwards).

Urwen · 08-29-2015, 02:45 PM

1. ADORN: A stick does a backward flip and lands in the middle of an article for a flower
2. RHUN: A chaser loses half of himself and gains direction in front.....but this area is unknown
3. EBOR: This warrior put his garb on backwards
4. DORA: The explorer is a Hobbit
5. HILDOR: A shortened hill meets reversed stick for a race
6. EVERMIND: Eternal memory is a bloomer
7. LAMEDON: Crippled mafia boss is a region

Right on all fronts.

Pervinca Took · 08-29-2015, 02:58 PM

Could the unknown area be RHUN? R for the direction, but I thought the rest of the clue would be half of RUNNER, and I can't make that work.

The only chaser I can think of is Turin chasing Saeros - although of course there are the three hunters who chase the orcs, trying to rescue Merry and Pippin.

Maybe Hurin was an athlete and I didn't realise?

Urwen · 08-29-2015, 03:03 PM

Rhun is correct. R for direction and hun for one half of hunter, synonym for chaser.

I spend quite some time making work.

Pervinca Took · 08-29-2015, 03:07 PM

And I even typed 'hunters' in the sentence and didn't think of it.

'Chasser' in French means both to hunt and to chase.

Another great password, Urwen!

Now try this one:

1. Troll’s bloomer.
2. Note great joy in a spin for him.
3. Portal met destruction twice (or is it thrice?) here.
4. Suffered in confusion for him.
5. Internet terror; bridge warden; Took-felled.

Urwen · 08-29-2015, 03:32 PM

3 is Orodruin.
1 could be Fuiyaru
5 is troll

I'll think more tomorrow.

Pervinca Took · 08-29-2015, 03:38 PM

1. Troll’s bloomer.
2. Note great joy in a spin for him.
ORODRUIN: Portal met destruction twice (or is it thrice?) here.
4. Suffered in confusion for him.
TROLL: Internet terror; bridge warden; Took-felled. bridge warden

Yes, 'bridge warden' being a homage to 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff,' which my dad used to tell me as a bedtime story when I was about 4.

1 is wrong. Have a look at my post about 'bloomer' the other day.

Urwen, where does Fuiyaru come from?

Urwen · 08-29-2015, 03:44 PM

Fuiyaru is translated as 'blight' and is called 'gnomes' flower'. Gnomes is a synonym for trolls and bloomer is a flower.

Pervinca Took · 08-29-2015, 03:50 PM

Ah, OK. What language is it?

Urwen · 08-30-2015, 07:08 AM

4 could be Beor, anagram of bore, which means suffered, plus he is male, or Ebor, the one I used previously, along the same line of thinking.

Pervinca Took · 08-30-2015, 06:01 PM

Very, very close with Beor. Now, what if both 'suffered' and its synonym were past participles rather than verbs in the simple past?

Urwen · 08-30-2015, 11:56 PM

In that case Beorn?

Pervinca Took · 08-31-2015, 06:55 AM

Correct. Anagram of 'borne.'

Urwen · 08-31-2015, 09:40 AM

2. Erech (cheer in a spin)?

and Cram for 1.

Pervinca Took · 08-31-2015, 10:02 AM

Good try, but not Erech. Erech is a place, and 'him' indicates a person, plus you need a note. But you are right to be looking for a synonym of 'great joy' to start with.

You are on the right lines with cram - in fact, you are very close! Except that cram is 'biscuitish,' and flat, I think (like lembas). I realised when I was typing about flowers, bloomers, mounts etc. that there was just ONE Tolkienian instance for which I could use the 'loaf of bread' meaning of 'bloomer,' and thought I would do it before anyone else thought of it.

This particular loaf of bread is specifically connected to a troll. It isn't within the pages of LOTR, but it is in a very Hobbitish piece of work.

1. Troll’s bloomer.
2. Note great joy in a spin for him.
ORODRUIN: Portal met destruction twice (or is it thrice?) here.
BEORN: Suffered in confusion for him.
TROLL: Internet terror; bridge warden; Took-felled.

Urwen · 08-31-2015, 10:18 AM

1. Burra?

Pervinca Took · 08-31-2015, 10:54 AM

No. The answer can be found in one of the poems in 'The Adventures Of Tom Bombadil.'

Urwen · 08-31-2015, 11:33 AM

1. Bone (shinbone, to be specific)

Pervinca Took · 08-31-2015, 12:02 PM

Ah, no. I think the poem you're thinking of is Sam's troll song from LOTR - I think a different version of this may be in The Adventures Of Tom Bombadil.

The actual poem you need is 'Perry The Winkle.'

Set to music by The Hobbitons. There's a recorded version of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gMF0fCZ1XQ

And here is the full text of the poem (on a page with a couple of others): http://andrewlansdown.com/favourite-poems/jrr-tolkien/

Urwen · 08-31-2015, 12:16 PM

That was the first poem I found, hence I said 'cram' like 'cramsome bread'

Or maybe bannock

Pervinca Took · 08-31-2015, 12:22 PM

OK, but cramsome bread is the answer! Not cram. It isn't related to cram at all. Well, not cram as in the ration that Bilbo and the dwarves eat in The Hobbit. I daresay Tolkien coined it from the verb 'to cram' - i.e. to shove in as much as possible - and 'some' (ish). Meaning that it was very filling.

CRAMSOME BREAD: Troll’s bloomer.
2. Note great joy in a spin for him.
ORODRUIN: Portal met destruction twice (or is it thrice?) here.
BEORN: Suffered in confusion for him.
TROLL: Internet terror; bridge warden; Took-felled.

Urwen · 08-31-2015, 12:33 PM

Then teh password is Ceorl, I am sure you know why.

Which means that the second answer begins has a letter E as his second letter.

Pervinca Took · 08-31-2015, 12:42 PM

CRAMSOME BREAD: Troll’s bloomer.
BELEG: Note great joy in a spin for him.
ORODRUIN: Portal met destruction twice (or is it thrice?) here.
BEORN: Suffered in confusion for him.
TROLL: Internet terror; bridge warden; Took-felled.

Urwen · 08-31-2015, 01:18 PM

Deagol?

Pervinca Took · 08-31-2015, 01:27 PM

No. You need an abstract noun meaning great joy. It shouldn't be hard to find if you google for synonyms of joy.

Urwen · 08-31-2015, 01:47 PM

I found delight, but if I scramble it, I cannot find anyone associated with it

Maybe Beleg? Note (B) + glee scrambled.

Pervinca Took · 08-31-2015, 02:43 PM

Well done! Beleg it is.

Over to you again!

Now, what if both 'suffered' and its synonym were past participles rather than verbs in the simple past? __________________ "Sit by the firelight's glow; tell us an old tale we know.

Erech is a place, and 'him' indicates a person, plus you need a note. But you are right to be looking for a synonym of 'great joy' to start with. You are on the right lines with cram - in fact, you are very close! Except that cram is 'biscuitish,' and flat, I think (like lembas). I realised when I was typing about flowers, bloomers, mounts etc. that there was just ONE Tolkienian instance for which I could use the 'loaf of bread' meaning of 'bloomer,' and thought I would do it before anyone else thought of it. This particular loaf of bread is specifically connected to a troll. It isn't within the pages of LOTR, but it is in a very Hobbitish piece of work. 1. Troll’s bloomer. 2. Note great joy in a spin for him. ORODRUIN: Portal met destruction twice (or is it thrice?) here. BEORN: Suffered in confusion for him. TROLL: Internet terror; bridge warden; Took-felled. __________________ "Sit by the firelight's glow; tell us an old tale we know. Tell of adventures strange and rare; never to change, ever to share!

Pervinca Took Ghost Prince of Cardolan Join Date: Sep 2009 Location: The Treetops, C/O Great Smials Posts: 5,035	Ah, no. I think the poem you're thinking of is Sam's troll song from LOTR - I think a different version of this may be in The Adventures Of Tom Bombadil. The actual poem you need is 'Perry The Winkle.' Set to music by The Hobbitons. There's a recorded version of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gMF0fCZ1XQ And here is the full text of the poem (on a page with a couple of others): http://andrewlansdown.com/favourite-poems/jrr-tolkien/ __________________ "Sit by the firelight's glow; tell us an old tale we know.

Urwen Spirit of Nen Lalaith Join Date: Feb 2010 Location: Meneltarma Posts: 5,387	That was the first poem I found, hence I said 'cram' like 'cramsome bread' Or maybe bannock __________________ Tuor: Yeah, it was me who broke [Morleg's] arm.

Pervinca Took Ghost Prince of Cardolan Join Date: Sep 2009 Location: The Treetops, C/O Great Smials Posts: 5,035	OK, but cramsome bread is the answer! Not cram. It isn't related to cram at all. Well, not cram as in the ration that Bilbo and the dwarves eat in The Hobbit. I daresay Tolkien coined it from the verb 'to cram' - i.e. to shove in as much as possible - and 'some' (ish). Meaning that it was very filling. CRAMSOME BREAD: Troll’s bloomer. 2. Note great joy in a spin for him. ORODRUIN: Portal met destruction twice (or is it thrice?) here. BEORN: Suffered in confusion for him. TROLL: Internet terror; bridge warden; Took-felled. __________________ "Sit by the firelight's glow; tell us an old tale we know.

Which means that the second answer begins has a letter E as his second letter. __________________ Tuor: Yeah, it was me who broke [Morleg's] arm. With a wrench. Specifically, this wrench.
