5a Hmmm - Baobab - 'B(achelor of) A(rts) + o(ld) b(oy)' (2 students) + 'a b(ook)' - which works if the clue should read "...written by..." 

I can't find a definition yet.

2d Ogrish - 'go' (work, upset) + 'rish(i)' (Vedic poet, abrupt; short)

Best I found was  -

2   Rishi is a Hindu poet so leave off the last letter to fit abrupt. I don't know how go-upset so OG. It looks like your answer is right because Jorthkyn is an ogre. Best I can do.

2 Work = Go, upset = OG + RISH(i) abrupt poet

I had them both but really just bunged them in hoping for the best, so good to have them confirmed & explained. This puzzle was quite tricky for a Talos imo
