I like Roulette first, hope you're ok with my locking it in. (not just russian roulette, but regular roulette is a game of luck)

Maybe cat? It'd not great, but possibly the best 2nd option.

I can find some other, albeit weak, connections:

you have a cast, because you got unlucky and break your leg
there's look in any sport, so football
there is a superhero, I'm trying to remember which one that has good luck (I think she as in the Flash TV show)

See, all of them are weak. :)

So, yeah, if you want to try cat next, I'm ok with that.

(Lucky strike is a brand of cigarettes, but I don't see any help from that)

I think I like cat better than any of those. If it's not cat though, I could see it being strike though.

I currently imagine mail-mi wearing a dark trenchcoat and a bowler hat, hunched over a bit, toothpick in his mouth, holding a gun in his pocket.  One bead of sweat trickling down his nose.

Okay, so I think one of the words is Stick.

Log should be avoided; if you wanted to clue Stick/Log, the word wouldn't be Shrubbery.

There's a Monty Python reference to be found here I'm sure, but I don't remember how it goes.

I’m fine with Stick

After that, maybe it’s finally time to guess Shakespeare?

I’m not convinced that Galz is avoiding log.

Ok, long shot but a Shrubbery is basically a bush. And bush is another word for the Australian Outback. And Kiwi is a word for a person from New Zealand, which is close to Australia. ... no, that's too much.

So we've had

Sweltering 3

Probably Air, Beach, and Pool

Churchill 3

London, Germany, and ???

Shrubbery 2

Stick and ???

Unguessed possibilities for Churchill: queen and Shakespeare, maybe spine?
unguessed possibilities for Shrubbery: log, ?

I don't think we can pass here. faust, what do you think about Shakespeare? He's sort of vaguely possible for all the clues. Idk what the connection to shrubbery is, but it sounds like a word he'd use. Maybe I'm thinking of "Get thee to a nunnery"

I mean, I agree that this is too much, but... kiwi is also a fruit, I suppose a berry, so it would grow on a shrubbery?

We have 3 words left though, right? We cannot guess them all this turn anyways. I don't think it's terrible to pass.

Shakespeare is the obvious one, right? There are authors of superhero comics, you write on paper which is made from logs, you cast people in a movie written by an author... that's all I got.

Yeah, all this time it was possible Shakespeare was theirs, but clearly now it's ours.

After that, clearly swowl going for the win here. Nothing seems too clear. Let me think about it some.

OK, some other vague possibilities:

Log, you mentioned, but also the context if "captain's log"...
Spine, as in a book, and often has the nake of the author on it
Back - sometimes books have author information in the back?

I think I like spine for our 2nd guess, not sure 3rd yet.

I didn't think of Spine, I like that as our 2nd guess too. I think log would be best for our third?

Nice.I'm happy with Log as our 3rd - even if not ours, I don't think it will be theirs (or assassin) either.

So if you're still good with it, feel free to lock it in.
