Assuming this is 27, Pendragon - the 6-letter evil add-on I take to be an Americanism meaning tough. I can't see any relation to 27 if this is right - but it may well not be. I think the question mark allows him to just get away with what I take 27 to be - the "have" really belongs in 28. (By the way, can anyone get the code tags to work on this site?)

I can see what you mean with your ans for 27A pendragon, but what part do the first 4 words of the clue play?

...I took the extras to be genius (6) and marauding (9)

Yes - those are clearly right. I had badass (s being his first) and massively (anag of evil as my s)...

So my conclusion is, pendragon, you are using an anagram of the wrong word for the first word of 27 ...

With my answer to 27A, it is the "somewhat sequentially" that seems irrelevant. I was thinking that "to leave a lodging" means one would not live in. And my answer means "have life," but I'm not at all sure about it.

You mean how one might leave school if there were an alarm?

yes

Yes - it's the "lodging" that is superfluous - or over-specific - and seems only there to fit 28 ... as the "have" is.

Thanks, Prospero. I think this is one of those crosswords where one is not 100% sure, but glad to press the submit button and finish with it!
