1. C onspiracy - If three (3) is company, then what is five (4)?

3. - + 60, -10, still stepping out of the same door.

14. - Singular, lost in Ladros, in a house by the river.

16. - Before they were grey, they served still.

The Conspiracy (in Chapter 5) has four members: Sam, Merry, Pippin, and Fredegar Bolger, poor neglected chap.

For #3, you actually have the right door! But not the right answer. And no on Bree or the password.

Ah ... the chapter number. I thought 5 was Sam, Merry, Pippin, Fredegar and Folco, then those minus Sam when Sam was terrified of being turned into a spotted toad.

I don't think I'd count Folco as a member of the Conspiracy; if he had been, I imagine he'd have joined the others in Crickhollow.

And not Eol, I'm afraid. You're actually looking for the 'without his name' version in #11.

Not Rivendell. The meetings, glances, and farewells are all from different people, and quite some time apart.

Is 11 Smeagol as the nameless terror- the ghost that drank blood - and the stalker of the Ringbearer?

Nice thought, but no. 'Sing' is relevant here.

Also I might be being a little unfair with 'stalker', but... not by much. (Serial harasser, for sure.)

Is 3 something to do with sailing west, given that Sam did so 60 years after Frodo, I think?

Weird thought - 11. Tom Bombadil?

Wow, lots to get through here!

So that's no on 11 Daeron (he's not the one singing), no on 16 Gimli's socks (), no on 3 sailing west (the 60 is indeed years, though), yes on 5 Imrahil, yes on 8 Red Arrow, no on 4 Grey Havens (though you're pretty close; consider the 'nearly'), no on 11 Tom Bombadil (see previous comment on 11), and no on 4 Cerin Amroth (though that's a great guess).

I think I got them all?

I'm going to guess...

14: Eilinel (although 'singular' eludes me here)

16: The púkel-men

(This is what happens when I return to the Downs - I get no work done. )

No and no, I'm afraid. #14 has both a cryptic and a straight clue, and #16... you're actually kind of in the right place!

(You're telling me! I'm practically new here and I keep writing crosswords instead of working... )

Ha, is 16 the Oathbreakers then?

14 could also be Beren, who never became the Lord of Ladros and died in Tol Galen... and only had a singular hand.

Neither of those either, I'm afraid.

Ladros itself is not actually involved in the Ladros answer.

The nearly last farewell I'm thinking of was near Bombadil's, but I can't remember exactly where.

Maybe the Tower Hills? Sam's last farewell to Elanor.

Was it? I didn't actually remember that! The Tower Hills were the site of the first meeting between the Numenoreans and the men of Middle-earth; the site of Elendil's palantir which let him cast 'lingering glances' into the West; and close to the Grey Havens and the last farewells that take place there.

'Age Removed' is a direct thesauriation of 'Old Took'. ^_^

Aghan's feet, after his watch-stone put out the fire?

There's also the Grey Company - whose passing the Púkel-Men witnessed - but I can't quite connect it to the clue.

Could 2 be the Bridge of Khazad-dûm?

The Grey Company is the right people - but not the right answer. Check the first word of the clue.

Not the bridge for #2; this is another clue with both a straight(ish) and a cryptic part.

I mean, you could have been more specific, but I'm not going to quibble:

Quote:
1. C onspiracy - If three (3) is company, then what is five (4)?
2. - Twixt dark below and dark above, below & between.
3. - + 60, -10, still stepping out of the same door.
4. T ower Hills - A place of first meetings, lingering glances, and (nearly) last farewells.
5. I mrahil - Twenty-second in the line.
6. - A bit sweet, but backward, and if I gave a direct clue it would probably be crude.
7. - Elvish ... and a trio of Beornings.
8. R ed Arrow - Gondor calls, "The flaming cursor!"
9. - Not new, not two, not race, not safe.
10. - They could make almost a Hobbit sequel, but Warwick is necessary first.
11. - With a name, he's a stalker above all others; without his name, sing who he is.
12. - Left behind; his namesake is on the Barrow-downs though.
13. - Scrambled in an anagram: retained in the taproom.
14. - Singular, lost in Ladros, in a house by the river.
15. O ld Took - Bilbo passed, and the Age removed
16. R angers of the North - Before they were grey, they served still.
(As opposed to the Rangers of Ithilien, of course.)

Pervinca Took is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
Does 10 refer to Warwick Davies, who played the hero in the film 'Willow' - which featured many little people?

Could the answer be Willow(s)?

I *meant* the northern ones.

Mablung has never even glimpsed the Watford Gap!

And as for trying to get decent mushy peas out of Damrod ....

#10 does refer to Warwick Davies, and Willow is in the answer...

All Rangers of the North are Grand-Masters of Eckythump, of course.



Willow men?



Although, having looked up the film, Willow and his friends are DWARVES?
