Hey, Guys!

I was wondering if any of you know some riddles about ANY of the standard monsters in BoA (preferably demon or undead ones). If you know any riddles, please give me a PM, PM ME including the riddle, the answer, and your SPIDWEB Name. Thanks! Any demon and undead riddles will probably be used in an upcoming super-small riddle scenario!

Thanks!

In case you don't already know, almost everybody hates riddles in scenarios.

I don't — I think they're great. One of my favorite parts in Nethergate was the three statues who ask riddles in the Vale of the Sould.

I'm helping a total n00b with their scenario. It's basically a huge spiral with lots of riddles - and then monsters. Simple, but fairly effective. I personally find riddles BL**DY annoying, but, other people like them, like Ischi.

Oh well, just keep on waiting.

It is on some forums. I'm a member of a few, so it's just plain easier to stick to the same CoC's for all of them. So BL**DY is a censored word!

And PM me the answer to that riddle!

I guess it was a feeble attempt at humor. Go watch Monty Python's Holy Grail.

I too love riddles! Any scenario should contain at least one, in my opinion!

Is it an African or European swallow?

Stop steal material from Monty Python!

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Scene 1: 'A swallow carrying a coconut?'

[opening music]
[wind]
[clop clop clop]
KING ARTHUR:
Whoa there!

[clop clop clop]
SOLDIER #1:
Halt! Who goes there?
ARTHUR:
It is I, Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, from the castle of Camelot. King of the Britons, defeater of the Saxons, Sovereign of all England!

SOLDIER #1:
Pull the other one!
ARTHUR:
I am,... and this is my trusty servant Patsy. We have ridden the length and breadth of the land in search of knights who will join me in my court at Camelot.

I must speak with your lord and master.
SOLDIER #1:
What? Ridden on a horse?
ARTHUR:
Yes!
SOLDIER #1:
You're using coconuts!
ARTHUR:
What?
SOLDIER #1:
You've got two empty halves of coconut and you're bangin' 'em together.
ARTHUR:
So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land, through the kingdom of Mercia, through--
SOLDIER #1:
Where'd you get the coconuts?
ARTHUR:
We found them.
SOLDIER #1:
Found them? In Mercia? The coconut's tropical!
ARTHUR:
What do you mean?
SOLDIER #1:
Well, this is a temperate zone.
ARTHUR:
The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land?
SOLDIER #1:
Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
ARTHUR:
Not at all. They could be carried.
SOLDIER #1:
What? A swallow carrying a coconut?
ARTHUR:
It could grip it by the husk!
SOLDIER #1:
It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.
ARTHUR:
Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here?
SOLDIER #1:
Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?
ARTHUR:
Please!
SOLDIER #1:
Am I right?
ARTHUR:
I'm not interested!
SOLDIER #2:
It could be carried by an African swallow!
SOLDIER #1:
Oh, yeah, an African swallow maybe, but not a European swallow. That's my point.
SOLDIER #2:
Oh, yeah, I agree with that.
ARTHUR:
Will you ask your master if he wants to join my court at Camelot?!
SOLDIER #1:
But then of course, uh, African swallows are non-migratory.
SOLDIER #2:
Oh, yeah.
SOLDIER #1:
So, they couldn't bring a coconut back anyway.
[clop clop clop]
SOLDIER #2:
Wait a minute! Supposing two swallows carried it together?
SOLDIER #1:
No, they'd have to have it on a line.
SOLDIER #2:
Well, simple! They'd just use a strand of creeper!
SOLDIER #1:
What, held under the dorsal guiding feathers?
SOLDIER #2:
Well, why not?

Micael, either that's tGM in puppet account form, or someone has cut and pasted his entire profile. Excluding the e-mail, but it's already been established that he had several puppet accounts set up through various free e-mail services. A different e-mail for each account, but still tGM. (unfortunately) :D

You are going to cause Micael serious brain damage...

Riddles are ok, if done right. But I can't really think of an instance where they are done correctly, so it's best to avoid.
