[QUOTE="ceratitis, post: 2817808, member: 39937"] while many replies here refer to the level of dificulty of the riddle i think its irrelevant. to me the fact that your DM saw you getting terribly frustrated and constently comenting the clues she gives you are irrelevant and did nothing about it is the major issue here. in the end killing your char and saying that the only problem she saw was you complaining is just spite. it sounds like she's a classic DM vs PCs type to me and that is a major problem. someone mentioned that if this was a riddle in the vatican or an old church he wouldnt even give out the bible and the tru believers would have passed it with ease and i agree they would have but that is exactly the kind of knowledge the skill knowledge religion represents. your char would have solved it without a second thought probably even half way through the dispription of the room but expecting you to do the same is just mean. i hope you work things out and end up playing and having lots of fun but to be honest if this attitude of her's continues you should consider leaving the group. i would. Z p.s i personally like riddles a lot and we have many of them in our game, they add lots of fun mainly 'cos out dm doesnt kill you when you cant figure it out right away. in this game more then any other in the world its all about [B]how[/B] you play not about winning/solving the riddle [/QUOTE]
