Preamble: From six clues, before solving, a word must be removed, suggesting
a thematic circumstance. For all other clues, before solving, a letter must rise to the clue above, and a letter come in from the clue beneath (skipping the six clues referred to above), this effect wrapping around from the top of the across clues to the bottom of the down clues.

11a Man baiting me beamed on the way out (6) ?E?ME?
I think possibly an "i" has to come in from the clue below...and an "A" has to go to the clue above..possibly biting in the clue rather than baiting.

[ProfessorMaisie]

11 LEAMED 'Main biting me...' (plus 'i' minus 'a').

[ProfessorMaisie]

...'on the way out' is the indication that it's an archaism for 'beamed'.

[saladdodger]

Thank you Prof
I have BEER? for 3d ( bree ...scotch broth with the R moved up)and UNDERLIE for 13a ??

[Neveracrossword]

SD, I am passing through - yes to both of those.

[ProfessorMaisie]

Yes, they're both right, saladdodger.

[ProfessorMaisie]

3d has a 3 letter word removed

[ProfessorMaisie]

...it's 'slope' + 'final' for 13 (plus 's' minus 'i').

[saladdodger]

3d ...yes i get that one now...

5d ALE?RS ?
Last out having taken in warnings

For the message i have 5,11,2,3,2,3,7...but not sure how to apply it...

[ProfessorMaisie]

5d ALERTS 'least and 'take' (=R) plus 'e' minus 'n'

[ProfessorMaisie]

...if you look at the down entries there are 5 't's - they make new words when they're lifted up one or two positions (the remaining letters stay in the order they were first entered).

[saladdodger]

Thanks again Prof

28d I(R)ans shabby envoy having case (5) E comes in from below...
oOrie or oUrie

[Loki2034]

Finished all but I too can’t parse 28d. oorie or ourie? Thanks for any hint.

[Neveracrossword]

28 D. The envoy is Courier, h(e)aving case = ditch first and last letters, so Ourie.

[Loki2034]

Thanks Neveracrossword.

[Neveracrossword]

Loki2034, glad I could help. I know you asked for a hint, but that was too difficult for me!

[professorplum13]

Thanks from me too

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks,professorplum3. It took me a while yesterday to see how that one worked!
