The theme is still wrong, though

MELIAN: A spun tree is followed by a pronoun and a backward element. She appears.
IDRIL: A cover and an element circulate for her
???R???: A broken rule surrounds a pronoun for her
RIAN: A product of a storm circulates for her
AREDHEL: An article, a color, and a dark goddess. Put them together for her.
ELWING: An alloy, abbreviated. An avian extremity. She appears.

William Cloud Hicklin · 04-23-2019, 11:57 AM

Alternatively, mothers if First Age heroes (if Maeglin counts)

The theme was simply 'first age mothers'. And yet nobody thought of that......

Urwen · 04-23-2019, 02:13 PM

It's Pervinca's turn now. In light of recent events, anyone who attempts to usurp the right of the turn will be subjected to the 'Song that Never Ends' infinite loop, at the highest possible volume. You have been warned.

Nope. You never said 'Mothers of First Age'. The closest you came was 'Mothers of First Age Heroes' as opposed to simply 'Mothers of the First Age'. There is a difference between the two.

Pervinca Took · 04-23-2019, 03:44 PM

He was pretty close, but I guess Maeglin isn't a hero. Luthien could qualify, but I suppose technically she's a heroine.

A good password, anyway.

Well done!

Telcontar is NO + CLATTER, though. I didn't realise the word 'rattle' was also in 'Telcontar' - thought I'd written a really difficult clue!

William Cloud Hicklin · 04-24-2019, 06:12 PM

6 is a difficult clue, but it does not contain any mistakes.

William Cloud Hicklin · 04-25-2019, 05:36 AM

OK. For 6 I was thinking Gimli: G + MILE - E, but that leaves GIML.

GIMLI is correct, but it's MI + GILL - L.

William Cloud Hicklin · 04-25-2019, 08:45 AM

OOoh, so "notes" includes sol-fa. I hadn't realized that.

Boromir from 'roomier,' indeed.

I had not thought of using the doh-re-mi notes as elements until someone did so quite recently on this thread.

It's a one-word pudding, if that helps. And an old-fashioned one.

William Cloud Hicklin · 04-25-2019, 12:35 PM

Wow, I had to go googling to find it; I'd never heard of it

7. Legolas ELL + SAGO

Don't think I'd advise eating it either - it sounds revolting! I may have had it as a child. Quite like tapioca, I imagine.

Galadriel55 · 04-26-2019, 07:44 AM

Are these now supposed to be council members who are also Fellowship members? That would make the remaining two hobbits.

William Cloud Hicklin · 04-26-2019, 08:49 AM

#3: Of the Council attendees, even including aliases, the only ones containing U are Incanus (used), Tharkun (just used recently, and the same guy), and Underhill. I can't work that out.

Unless it's hobbit names in Westron, but I can't make those work either. Any ideas?

Huinesoron · 04-26-2019, 09:10 AM

Let's try RAZANUR TUK, aka Pippin. It includes 'Rana' (a name of the Moon) and two Us ('possessed U twice'), so all we need is to find a deer and publicity in... ZRTK.

...

Maybe not?

Frodo is also given the name 'Daur' on the Field of Cormallen, which at least starts with a D(eer), but unless there's some sneaky subtraction in the clue, I can't see it.

hS

William Cloud Hicklin · 04-26-2019, 09:48 AM

Well, Underhill contains LUN-R....

Could "Deer possesses you twice" just mean E?

___________

Pippin wasn't at the Council

Pervinca Took · 04-26-2019, 11:31 AM

There is another alias that no-one has mentioned yet.

William Cloud Hicklin · 04-26-2019, 04:06 PM

OK, let's see:

Halfelven
Peredhel

Strider
Telcontar
Elessar
Elfstone
Estel
Thorongil
Longshanks
Renewer
Wingfoot
Stick-at-nought

Underhill
Ringbearer
Maura
Deputy Mayor

Gardner
Banazir Galpsi
Great Elf-warrior

Greenleaf

Mithrandir
Incanus
Tharkun
Lathspell
Greyhame
Stormcrow
Olorin

Goldilocks

Pervinca Took · 04-26-2019, 04:46 PM

None of those.

Were Banazir and Maura also accounted for? I can't make them work, but who knows. They would fit in thematically, with all the people in the password and theme mentioned once.

She just used Maura a couple of days ago. Banazir has no U.

I've played with FULLWISE, which is really a stretch (a punning compliment, not really an alias). But I can't make that work either.

William Cloud Hicklin · 04-26-2019, 11:00 PM

All right, there were 7 persons at the Council who would join the Fellowship:

Frodo
Sam
Gandalf
Aragorn
Boromir
Legolas
Gimli

All those are accounted for except the two hobbits, and that suggests that we are indeed looking at Maura for U and Banazir for N. But I can't make either one work.

Pervinca Took · 04-26-2019, 11:09 PM

1. I never said they were all in the Fellowship.

2. There is a *pair* of aliases that is bestowed once, and in the same sentence, but not in the published LOTR or its appendices. One of the remaining answers is one from this pair.

Oooh, that's sneaky! Not in the published Lord of the Rings, because it's in the unpublished Epilogue. "Master Perhael who should be called Panthael." (Master Samwise who should be called Fullwise). So I was on the right track!

Panthael contains HEAL (leech; we just talked about that definition), and the required N, which is the "direction." I just can't figure out PAT.

Pervinca Took · 04-27-2019, 12:15 PM

I'm sneaky? Have you tried Huey's passwords?

It isn't Panthael, or Perhael, and it isn't in the Epilogue.

But you DO have the right CHARACTER.

The pair of aliases are bestowed UPON a pair. One for each character.

By the way, the 'pair of aliases' clue is the U clue, not the leech one!

They would fit in thematically, with all the people in the password and theme mentioned once. __________________ You passed from under darkened dome, you enter now the secret land. - Take me to Finrod's fabled home!... ~ Finrod: The Rock Opera

But I can't make either one work. __________________ The entire plot of The Lord of the Rings could be said to turn on what Sauron didn’t know, and when he didn’t know it.

There is a pair of aliases that is bestowed once, and in the same sentence, but not in the published LOTR or its appendices. One of the remaining answers is one from this pair. __________________ "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!

It isn't Panthael, or Perhael, and it isn't in the Epilogue. But you DO have the right CHARACTER. The pair of aliases are bestowed UPON a pair. One for each character. By the way, the 'pair of aliases' clue is the U clue, not the leech one! __________________ "Sit by the firelight's glow; tell us an old tale we know.
