Is Dain pronounced Dine as in Dunedain?If so that is my guess for the last one.Lossarnach for L though wanderer makes me think of Don Quixote so Amedon is another maybe.

F: Fray begins. Musketeer loses way. War ends. Lord!
ELANOR: Beer sent back with a point - alternatively, a flower.
LAMEDON: The Spanish wanderer meanders in Gondor.
ARWEN: Pale hesitation around a lovely maiden.
GLOIN: This chap is said to be incandescent.
U: Loose a muddled detectives’ friend; it’s brilliant against the night.
NEEKERBREEKER: Onomatopoeic tormenter.
DAIN: He says to partake of the vittles.
1. Correct, Galadriel. If it was used near the beginning of the thread, I didn't consciously copy it. I haven't read every post on the thread. I meant that it was very like my clue for "Oin" (debt-ridden dwarf, we hear, or something like that).
2. My clue for the last one was originally "He's said to condescend." Then I remembered that "ain" in Tolkien's names is always the sound in "mine." I checked it up, just to be certain, and there was a sound recording of the name Dain on the Tolkien Gateway that sounded more like "Doyne." But I guessed the "dine" sound was most likely correct.
3. Mith, I take it you mean Lamedon? Don't know anything about Amedon. Lamedon is EL + NOMAD (wanderer) mixed up (meandering). My clue for THAT was originally "Injured Gondorian professor," but you used a very similar clue so I had to change it (that was why I guessed Lamedon so quickly in one of your previous clues).
Very surprised you haven't got the first clue yet.
