Riddle Race!! A Summerfaire Competition

[Frohste]

Bonfire is cancelled. Either myself or one of my other guild members will hand out prizes on a later date. So Sorry.

Honor will be posting 3 riddles for Summerfaire. We will be posting the riddles on July 18 at approximately 6am EST in this thread, so that folks have an equal chance of answering them first. Prizes will then be awarded at a bonfire/party On July 21 8-10pm EST during Summerfaire at the Honor house.
Rules:
1. You may only answer one riddle and you may only post one answer for that riddle.
2. Alts are allowed.
3. The first person to post the correct answer in this thread wins the prize for that riddle. (In your post, please state which riddle you are answering.)
4. Please put your character name and number within your post. (Thanks, Pallas. Good idear.)

Even if someone else answers a riddle before you get the chance, don't be afraid to put your answer in. Theirs may be incorrect!

I'm really looking forward to this as it's my first Summerfaire. Hopefully you all have fun with it, too!

[Frohste]

Above I have added the date that the riddles will be posted.

[Frohste]

I have also posted the date of the bonfire/party.

[Frohste]

To get to the Honor house, go one north of the life monument in Dundee. From there go west till you can't go west any further. Then go north as far as you can. Then west until you hit the HONOR courtyard. You're there! I'm supposing the party will be mostly in the courtyard but please feel free to explore the house. *smiles* There is nothing you can break as it is meant to be a home and to be lived in! Please, make yourself at home!

[Naridith]

Hmmm. Just to clarify, you mean July, right? Also, 8-10 EST. AM or PM? I assume PM, but may be helpful to be specific.

[AKA Azure]

Nari,

You're correct - July and pm - these things happen in all the rampant excitement and anticipation of Summerfaire!

I believe I noted it that way on the Summerfaire schedule thread, but I'll double check and update as needed.

[Frohste]

thanks, Azure! And you are correct on all accounts. Hope to see lots of people there!

Riddle one:

In darkness and dank
I lived and I played
Down, not up.
Buried
I'm up, not down
In a bed
Soft and round
Where they all laugh and play

Prize: 10k in health or power potions, winner's choice

[Frohste]

Riddle two:

I am a serendipitous benefaction
Mimicking
Benumbed and lucent,
Silently snuffing
with powerful legerdemain.
Returning to tenebrous solitude
to wait.

Prize: one droppable ingot

[Frohste]

Riddle three:

I flee in putrid, eternal calignosity,
An anencephalous,
Aphonic game slave.

Prize: 1k in health or power potions - winner's choice

I don't know why but for some reason the name of Master Trainer Randahl pops into my head when I try to solve Riddle 2. Probably not the answer what you are looking for.

Ok! Thanks to all who participated! Riddle guessing is closed. I guess we made the riddles too difficult because there was only one winner. Congratulations to Thorn Greencloak! *bounces* I shall get with you and see which type of potions you would like.
The answers were:
Riddle One: Dundee Rat Burger
Riddle Two: Mystical Blade
Riddle Three: Rotting headless hen

Thorn guessed Riddle Three.
Zanaan was close on Riddle One but I cannot accept the answer because certain things in the riddle pointed specifically to the burger. I will give details on what each part of each riddle meant later.
Thanks again to all who participated!
And congratulations to Thorn Greencloak!!

[Frohste]

I have realized, thanks to Azure, that there is no such thing as a Dundee Rat Burger! Therefore, the only fair thing to do is award Zanaan the prize for that riddle. I shall get with you, Zanaan, to see if you would like health or power potions.

[Zanaan]

That's not necessary. Just reinvest them in your next contest. Thank you though.
