"Risky Business" by benchen71
Welcome to...
benchen71's Metas on a Tuesday (MOAT)
Can you storm the castle by getting across the MOAT? Here's a quick puzzle for you. I've tried to make the clues fun and the meta even funner! The answer to the meta is a profession. Enjoy!
PM me with your submissions or submit on Crosshare. Either way, I'll compile a list of those who successfully solve the meta.

Nudges are here.
The solution is here.

Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

Cute!
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

I think the drawbridge was left open! Easy passage across the MOAT. Hopefully the gate was down.
Fun one. Thanks.

Crossed!
This might also be a nice intro to cryptic clues, for the uninitiated.

Late to the castle party, but made it before I was locked out.
Confirmed on crosshare.
Have I ever commented about how much I like Ben's metas?

Raiding the castle kitchen now. Nice relief after a miserable weekend (meta-wise).
