[QUOTE="Vigwyn the Unruly, post: 2096108, member: 20345"] [color=orange]"Hmm. I think we should carefully consider the riddle. As often as not, such oracles are sent to confound rather than illuminate. The deities seem to take particular pleasure in this game of theirs. [i]The locks are key to finding them.[/i] Of course the locks that fasten doors and such are not the only kinds of locks there are. In my travels, I have seen clever devices whereby boats can move along canals up and down large inclines. These consist of a kind of section of the canal that can be closed off at both ends and water pumped in or out to raise or lower the boat to the next section. Of course, I haven't seen any canals in Cauldron since I have been here. [i]Look beyond the curtain[/i] This makes me think of waterfalls in which the curtain of falling water sometimes hides a cave behind it. [i]below the cauldron,[/i] This almost certainly points to a location below the city itself. [i]But beware the doors with teeth.[/i] Hmm. Tricky indeed. What kind of teeth might this mean? The teeth of a cog, perhaps? [i]Descend into the malachite 'hold,[/i] This will require more thought and research. [i]Where precious life is bought with gold.[/i] Is there perhaps a slave market, or maybe a cleric that sells access to spells that restore life? [i]Half a dwarf binds them, but not for long.[/i] I have no idea what half a dwarf refers to, but it certainly sounds like time is short."[/color] [/QUOTE]
