RIDDLE 14
==========

I’m often held, yet rarely touched
I’m always wet, yet never rust
I’m sometimes wagged and sometimes bit
To use me well, you must have wit

Your Tongue!

 

[Steverooo]

RIDDLE 15
==========

As light as a feather, but you can’t hold it for ten minutes

Your breath!

 

[Steverooo]

RIDDLE 16
==========

The beginning of eternity
The end of time and space
The beginning of every end
The end of every place

Another easy one, Master of Riddles!

"e".

RIDDLE 17
==========

The root tops the trunk
On this backward thing
That grows in the winter
And dies in spring

An icicle!

Your Tongue!

Your breath!

Is this some kind of Zen insult sequence or something?


Hong "your mother!" Ooi

RIDDLE 18
==========

I am so simple
That I can only point
Yet I guide men
All over the world

A Compass needle.

(Rant) Incidentally, the compass was invented in the east somewhere before 1,000 AD, and in common use throughout Europe by 1300, yet it never appears in D&D equipment lists! (/Rant)

RIDDLE 19
==========

Three lives have I
Gentle enough to soothe the skin
Light enough to caress the sky
Hard enough to crack the rocks

Is this too hard/easy?

Too hard, for me! I was thinking Base-4 Primes (3, 7, 37), but I doubt that's it... Better give'm a hint!

A snail's burden is his "home" ...

...and a man can easily carry a snail's home!

I still think "A Cloud" is a better answer!

Stahn Li has the right answer ti the riddle. I think it's a very clever one. I'm playing with 2 maths wiz so that might be a problem since they'll probably try to figure out an answer using the pi number or "calcul differentiel et integral" ====> sorry don't know the translation to that.

Some nice riddles on the thread and will possibly use some of them too.

Now what about puzzles? Any good ones out there. I'm running "The Sword of the Dales" and despise the one in the module ie you have to figure out the opposed school of magics and place things accordingly.
