14d Might be AGAMEMNON (Hero)

Soon = ANON

Bold = GAME around M(aiden)

26a - I think it might be BEANFEASTS (Party)

Runners = BEANS around (with "drinking" acting as a containment indicator)

Quickly = FAST around E(nergy)

So it can't be BEANFEASTS then, Margaut - back to the drawing board.

Sorry Brendan - you are quite correct - mistake on my part - was 22 with 8 letters. Thanks to everyone I have now finished it although I am not sure whether LEDGE or LODGE is correct for "Room register" will toss a coin I think

If the clue is just "Room register" (and not Room register will toss a coin I think), then I'd say it's LODGE (Double definition - as in Lodge/Room and 'Lodge a complaint')
