[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8175587, member: 6987520"] Hey all, Saturday we'll finally be playing again on Saturday (after the holidays and a long break) and I decided to challenge the group with a riddle. Now, the group is great, but frankly not the brightest bunch so I want something they might have to think about but really shouldn't stump them. So, I know for most people here this shouldn't be too hard but I would like some thoughts or feedback. The riddle length will vary depending on how many "clues" you think it needs, so please comment on that if you care to and thanks.
