Forgive me if this clue is not good.
it is a blood sucker, not, the middle sounds like dentistry, the last is hellish.
Ah, one of the three faces is the Mona Lisa. The other two faces are in a city in Italy. The city begins with a T. One is kept in a church. Its true origin is shrouded in mystery. :wink:

Right, so what is the third face that's kept in Turin and some people think was the model for both the Mona Lisa and the Shroud of Turin?
 
:rolleyes: It's a self-portrait.
 
Leonardo's self-portrait in Turin?

Correct! Some people think Leonardo created the Shroud of Turin and used himself as the model for it, the Mona Lisa, and (uncontroversially) his self-portrait.

So you each got one of the faces. Um, maybe you each get a turn?

Look in wiki for hypoxia, then find a link to aspic, then what is a blood sucker,
and the sounds like dentisry thing. then the hellish bit.

Well I know what hypoxia and aspic are, and I have a fair idea of a blood sucker. Then I get stuck.

On this clue, I'll guess sea anemone. But I'm not sure about the other clues yet...
 
I'm guessing squid. If it's right, somebody else go. I have to leave for work now. Won't be back until after midnight.
