Some adventure now needed for glory (6)
I believe the answer is:
renown
'glory' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'some adventure now needed' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'RENOWN' can be found hidden inside 'adventure now needed'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for renown that I've seen before include "High repute" , "High reputation, fame" , "Fame and eminence" , "Plane's maximum width" , "Fame and public acclamation" .)
