It's a Betrayal at Krondor riddle. The answer is 'Death'. I will never ever forget this particular riddle after my DM used it on us. We told the guardian the answer was 'Debt'. Said guardian tried to kill us, despite our pleas that it was a legitimate answer. Sigh... -------------------- Japanese Scientists Grow Frog Eyes and Ears - Headline Posts: 1509 | Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00 |

I ended up googling it, but it has been too long. Maybe death? Edit - Umm. Really no legitimate excuses here. Didn't scroll down. Only saw the first response. Thought I could be helpful. I did manage to sync the times so that it appears like they were posted simultaneously. Almost. Grrr...

Heh… reminds me of a riddle my DM used on us one time. At some point, our party met a dryad, who told us to be careful where we look for beauty. Later, we were looking for something, and we encountered three illusionary creatures: a landshark, a mindflayer, and a beholder. We had to pick one. Any guesses at the right answer? -------------------- Do not provoke the turtles. They do not like being provoked. -Lenar My website: Nemesis' Refuge Posts: 743 | Registered: Friday, September 29 2006 07:00 |

I'd say the Beholder. Since beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Of course, I'm somewhat leaning towards Landshark too so... Beholder, final answer. Did I win the million, Meredith? -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed. Posts: 2686 | Registered: Friday, September 8 2006 07:00 |

quote:Beholder indeed. Wow. You got it much faster than we did. Then again, we were all tired, and the DM didn't actually refer to what the dryad said until we'd been puzzling over it for a fairly long time. -------------------- Do not provoke the turtles. They do not like being provoked. -Lenar My website: Nemesis' Refuge Posts: 743 | Registered: Friday, September 29 2006 07:00 |

I was pretty sure it was beholder, but the 'be careful where you look' almost threw me. That's why I was leaning toward Landshark. That, and some game designers will throw in something completely non-sensical just to make things difficult. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here.

Best riddle ever was that pointless goblin riddle in Erika's tower where the best solution was just to kill them. I love riddles that end like that. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

-X- says that the answer to the original riddle was, indeed, death. -X- had a lot of fun saying that riddle for weeks afterward to allof his friends until they began plotting his death. -X- offers an explanation, since this is first post. -X- is not trying to imitate Dikiyoba The Great. -X- simply enjoys third person too much. -X- also uses it more often. -------------------- May the fires of Undeath burn in your soul, and consume it.
