Newbie needs help please!!

I thought that 18d One talks quietly, facing dangerous creature (8) was BRUTALLY and that 35a Unknown number of soldiers joining legion to capture key province, once (8) might be NORMANDY but I can't have both!!

Hi fififun, could you show which letters are the ones you have and where they cross, please?

Hi bullfrog.
i am still doing this (having had company this weekend; that's my excuse and I'm stuck with it) and so far I have

18 dn
xxxAxLxx

and 35 ac
NxxxxxDx

i think Normandy could be right (unknown number =N, soldiers= OR but stuck to parse the rest

MANY for "legion" around D (key of)

prattler, one talks

P= quietly rattler = dangerous creature

Thanks Verona and chrise- how thick am I today? really stuck on "legion" being of the French Foreign kind.

Thankyou for all the help...
