And good old German note H again, duly swallowed.

Not leader, and not H.

So, not mothers and sons either.

Pervinca Took · 05-25-2019, 02:57 AM

Oh ... AREDHEL, mothers and sons, but HERALD + E.

Urwen · 05-25-2019, 02:59 AM

MAEGLIN: He is an IARPA program
TURIN: He is an Italian city.
MORWEN: Wander backwards, without a note? It's novel in reverse, for her
NERDANEL: She is knowledgeable, in turmoil, with a direction.

It's yours.

Pervinca Took · 05-25-2019, 11:55 AM

Sorry, a lot of things came up and I have been busy all day.

Here you go:

1. He messes up a college bedroom.
2. Register disgust, initially, but turn it around for him.
3. Frosty umpire upset him.
4. Annoy unsuspecting Noldor, initially, and cause trouble before finding him.
5. Ledger is all over the place, but gains direction and reveals her.

Urwen · 05-26-2019, 04:28 AM

1. Amrod (A+Dorm)

Pervinca Took · 05-26-2019, 04:32 AM

AMROD: He messes up a college bedroom.
2. Register disgust, initially, but turn it around for him.
3. Frosty umpire upset him.
4. Annoy unsuspecting Noldor, initially, and cause trouble before finding him.
5. Ledger is all over the place, but gains direction and reveals her.

Urwen · 05-26-2019, 04:35 AM

The only female I know who is tied to Amrod is Nerdanel, but ledger part invalidates that.

Urwen · 05-26-2019, 04:37 AM

The initials of 'annoy unsuspecting Noldor' are AUN.

Urwen · 05-26-2019, 04:58 AM

Oh, so that's how it is.

5. Haleth (Heath+L)

Urwen · 05-26-2019, 04:59 AM

Funny thing is, if Haleth had 's', I'd say that the password was Oaths.

Pervinca Took · 05-26-2019, 05:59 AM

AMROD: He messes up a college bedroom.
2. Register disgust, initially, but turn it around for him.
3. Frosty umpire upset him.
4. Annoy unsuspecting Noldor, initially, and cause trouble before finding him.
HALETH: Ledger is all over the place, but gains direction and reveals her.

Actually, the 'Ledger' isn't really *all* over the place; only a little. Mea culpa.

Is this on the right track?

Urwen · 05-26-2019, 06:06 AM

There is no Tolkien term or name which begins with O and ends with A. I've checked.

Pervinca Took · 05-26-2019, 06:06 AM

It is, but you are using the initial of too many words.

Urwen · 05-26-2019, 06:10 AM

There aren't any five-letter Tolkien words which start with O and end with A, period.

Urwen · 05-26-2019, 06:12 AM

Ah, so you mean, we need initials of Annoy Noldor, ie. AN

Pervinca Took · 05-26-2019, 06:12 AM

No.

Not far off, though.

I'm going to be busy for the next couple of hours. Just letting you know.

Urwen · 05-26-2019, 06:17 AM

What about this?

Pervinca Took · 05-26-2019, 06:19 AM

Well, when you put 'period' on something, it generally means you're ending it.

Maybe your sources aren't as exhaustive as you think.

And why not relax and guess some more clues first?

Urwen · 05-26-2019, 06:23 AM

All right then. If you can find a single five-letter word starting with O and ending with A on this page, then I will believe you.

Urwen · 05-26-2019, 06:24 AM

Anyway, I found 'olama'. Is that the password?

Pervinca Took · 05-26-2019, 06:35 AM

Not even Tolkien Gateway is exhaustive; I'm very familiar with it.

And no, it isn't.

Urwen · 05-26-2019, 06:36 AM

Then can you link me to a source which is?

Urwen · 05-26-2019, 06:41 AM

Or at least tell me which source you used to find the password, because I am stumped.

Pervinca Took · 05-26-2019, 07:07 AM

That would be as good as giving you the answer.

The password describes each of the answers. If you can work out what they have in common, then you can go looking for the password.

Urwen · 05-26-2019, 07:41 AM

So if the initials aren't AN, or AUN, are they UN?

Pervinca Took · 05-26-2019, 07:42 AM

UN is correct.

Urwen · 05-26-2019, 07:43 AM

I assume that Register = Note

Pervinca Took · 05-26-2019, 07:44 AM

Not note.

Urwen · 05-26-2019, 07:46 AM

4. Elurin (Rile+Un)

Urwen · 05-26-2019, 07:58 AM

Password is ONONA, isn't it? (Quenya for 'one of the pair of twins')

Urwen · 05-26-2019, 08:10 AM

3. Folcred (Cold+Ref)

Urwen · 05-26-2019, 08:27 AM

And the last one is Elrond (Enrol+D)

Pervinca Took · 05-26-2019, 09:18 AM

AMROD: He messes up a college bedroom.
ELROND: Register disgust, initially, but turn it around for him.
FOLCRED: Frosty umpire upset him.
ELURIN: Annoy unsuspecting Noldor, initially, and cause trouble before finding him.
HALETH: Ledger is all over the place, but gains direction and reveals her.

THEME: TWIN-BORN CHARACTERS

(ONONA = SINDARIN FOR 'ONE OF A PAIR OF TWINS').

And over to Urwen, who sweeps the board again!

Urwen · 05-26-2019, 09:33 AM

Onona is a Quenya word.

Urwen · 05-26-2019, 10:35 AM

This one has a really tricky (and original) theme which I discovered by chance. I am not liable for any confusions that might occur while solving this.

1. Note a furuncle in disarray. A burglar appears.
2. Note, shortened hill, and what her race guards, in a muddle, for her.
3. A Norse God and a type of musical composition in a spin? See him.
4. Note a Spanish measurement for her.
5. Note a befuddled porcupine for him.

Pervinca Took · 05-26-2019, 11:48 AM

1. Bilbo.

Boil + b.

Urwen · 05-26-2019, 11:50 AM

BILBO: Note a furuncle in disarray. A burglar appears.
2. Note, shortened hill, and what her race guards, in a muddle, for her.
3. A Norse God and a type of musical composition in a spin? See him.
4. Note a Spanish measurement for her.
5. Note a befuddled porcupine for him.
