eh there's nothing in the rest of it, tbh. maybe it's a crosaire thing (my usual cryptic fix), but pretty often the 'whole' answer isn't spelled out. again, as always, any fault is in the abilities of the setter and not those poor souls struggling to decipher.

First one is storm.
Second looks a really good clue as it can be parsed in several ways (except none of them are leading me to an answer)
― ailsa, Tuesday, 27 October 2009 08:12 (fourteen years ago) link
Ailsa OTM. That was tricky to parse. Plus totally cunning + fair double-bluff of 'ham' being 'ham', as its 'shamans'.

Oh, very nice indeed When Baron, that second one is grand.

o ffs how did i not get shamans after looking at 'sans ham' for ten minutes.

Thanks everybody. This morning I started worrying that maybe the plural of 'shaman' was actually 'shamen.'

just for the sake of the surface i don't think it would have been too unfair to change it to keen on a horse that escapes a predator, it's clear.
