1. Alternate Universe = AU = Gold?
6. Silver? |

'Turn' isn't an anagram indicator, possible for the first time ever. :eek: But: Quote:
GOLD - No, I don't mean Alternate Universe 2. - Weapons on which graphs turn (these ones are red) 3. - Stonework that pulls you from the mud 4. - Number one deus ex machina (now featuring heavy metal) 5. - I would tell you the answer, but -- just a second. 6. - Air is to corundum as water is to...? (Now, about that crown.) 7. - You! Yes, you! Fire! (& look up into the light) (Comments in parenthesis relate solely to the theme; they are not useful for the password letter.) hS |
I have an inkling on what the password could be, but I am not sure how to fit the rest of the clues in...
Could 7 be me, that is, ME. Ur for fire and erm...ewn? |
And uranium for 6? (mostly for wedging the answer into the password)

If my reasoning is correct, then 7 has the initial R, so Rana, fire in the sky?
|
Or maybe just UR, for fire?

But the ansewr is you. :) hS |
Is the answer YOU/U?
Otherwise, I am drawing a blank there... Unless you mean my avatar, which is Glindur...hanging from a cliff...? |
Quote:
Consider what "Fire!" might mean, other than... y'know, fire. hS |
Well, it could mean 'shoot'...

6. Iron?

You said here that answer is you, and now you say it isn't... :eek: |

The one ruby and sapphire are derived from?

Oh, and that torch-bearing Orc at Helm's deep comes to mind. Also Fingon, before shooting an arrow.

I can't see the connection between sapphires and air. I am not that well-versed in chemistry, so any references to that fly right above my head.

Ah. Adamant?

2. Axes, as one Rene would tell you.

What does 5 even mean? That you will tell us the answer? Well, go ahead... :D
|
Maybe 5 is WAIT.

hS |
Maybe a hint or a small nudge in right direction for both could help...?

Okay: I don’t want to spell out the answer. hS |
Mellon! :D

Quote:
Please give one for 7 too... :( |
Wait, maybe Indis. I would = I'd = ID. ID + IN + S = INDIS. So 5 is Indis. Or DIS for same reasons.
|
Ok, I'll bite and try the pun game for 5. Is the answer "Second"? Or "Axe", a singular form of the second clue?
|

To be strictly honest, the clue should say 'just the second'. hS |
Still have got no clue...
|
Lord Voldemort!...
...ummmm. "WOULD"? or perhaps WOOD? |

3. Makes me wanna do a literal pull - but that leaves me with "themd", the form of masonry used by Petty-Dwarves to build the foundations of their hidden houses. A detailed description can be found in HOMEXIII, The Weird Bits.
