Another good answer, but not what I had in mind. In particular, the middle two lines would be sort of weak clues if that was the answer.

The riddle evokes the image of a fly trapped in a spider's web. But I'm still struggling with it. That's a sign of a good riddle!

Shazam! thread resurrection!

I'll kick it off with one of the unsolved riddles from last page...one of my own:


When my name is called your children run screaming;
But if you think to find me then surely you're dreaming.

Down your spine I send pin-pricks as if some chill
Had sapped your strength and roasted your will.

I come at night to take the name of your mother,
For what's fair for the one is fair for his brother.

Trick and trade and war the best
All my habits, my sins are blessed
I take from one or take from all
As you walk this pale blue ball
Maker's marks and sweet lass kiss
With my blade I shall not miss
Come to call all done in black
Without my life a savor lack.

You've got some good riddles! This one is challenging, the best I can come up with is...

Here's a clue...when I present this riddle to my PCs the troll king who they're riddling with uses this last line: "Now my name can you deduce?"

[MENTION=67]Rune[/MENTION] Nice. Was it too easy?

Ok, here is the last of my "troll king trio":

My love makes no sense, she's bound to ramble,
But so melodious is her voice I hardly care,
That I would walk thru briar and bramble
To lay down by her side and softly weep.
Some call her shallow, say my heart's at gamble,
But they've never thirsted for love so deep.
Of what do I speak?

My guess:

a brook?

Obviously not too easy if it took this long!
