Hi,

I am new to trying to unravel the clues for this type of puzzle. I am stuck on 69a, a monk's order for the cowl he has to wear, and 63d, where games are played in legal chambers. I have ???T?E?H??? for 69a, and ?O???S for 63d. Rooms for legal chambers does not fit. Any help would be appreciated.

@laughoutlood,
Hi again,

Thanks for that. In 66a, they leave an impression on SeaWorld stars, am I right in presuming that the answer is seals, seals being at Sea World, or scars also fits in as well.

@dodgy,
seals leave an impression and the letters S E A L S is in the clue so scratch scars as they arent sea world stars

@laughoutlood,
Hi again,

Thanks for your help. You will be tired of me asking questions by the end of the puzzle. However I am a novice at this type of puzzle. In 26a, setback for new reserve, I have ?E?E?S?. I have decoys for 24d. I did think of relapse but that answer will not fit in with decoys coming down.

@Dutchy,
Hi again,

Thanks again everybody for your help. You will be pleased to know that with the help provided the puzzle has been completed. In fact that completes all competition puzzles for Colossus 132. I find the stinker oh so much easier than the cryptic.
