A Riddler

[Mephistophelian 977]

*Whilst walking on the Anthos highway, should it happen to be of good weather, you spot a man dressed in fine clothing. He already has a small crowd gathering around him, and they all seem pretty serious. He beckons you closer, and should you walk towards him, he shall tell the small crowd that a new contestant has arrived, and they all cheer and clap. You notice a board next to the large chain the man stands on. It reads:

Hall of Riddle Masters:

-Kanoro Torch

Previous Riddles:

-My house is not quiet, I am not loud; But for us the creature fashioned our fate together.

I am the swifter, at times the stronger, My house more enduring, longer to last.

A times I rest; my dwelling still runs; Within it I lodge as long as I live.

Should we two be severed, my death is sure.

Answer: a fish in the river. Found by Kan.

He then begins speaking, and you almost sense the crowd leaning forward in anticipation.*

"Riddles are those that I ask on this fine day, so I have one for each and every one of you! For those who think they are strong of mind and have a razor wit, come closer, for this here riddle includes a prize! Five hundred Minas to the man who solves this riddle, but only after you throw me the entry fee!"

*The man then takes off his hat and passes it around, collecting twenty Minas entry fees to be able to compete for a thousand Minas. Should you chose to give him some money, he winks at you and continues collecting. Once he has collected all the Minas, he claps his hands together to get your attention.*

"Five hundred to the man who solves this riddle!

Unnoticed and taken for granted, it can manoeuvre itself amongst the crowds and be forgotten only moments after it's recognition. What is it? "

*The man claps his hands together and rubs them, waiting for a reply...*

((To enter this competition, please use this application form. Also, it shall be noted that the answers will be posted on this page. No answering without paying, please, else you will not get the prize! Also, I think it is worth noting that 20 Minas is nearly nothing, so you might as well pay xD. This is just for the RP fun, anyway.

Answer: Rosella shouts out loud at the man as she stands in the crowd. "THE CLOUD TEMPLE!"

*The man looks at Rosella and smiles.*

"Nay, t'is not the answer! If ye wish t' try again, wait for th' next riddle."

*He now looks at the crowd and grins slowly.*

"Fear not your small loss of Minas, it is a small price to pay for the reward! Speak, I say, speak!"

[Mephistophelian 977]

*The man puts his hands on his belly and laughs loudly when he notices how silent it is.*

"I dare say that, if one listened closely, they would hear the old wheels creaking in your heads! Hohoho!"

*He glances around, looking for anyone who is brave enough to answer the riddle. He has already mentally prepared his mind so that no mind mages may pry the answer from his head.*

((I would also like to challenge the staff to this. Go on, show us your great and infinite wisdom!))

[Sentlit 108]

As the man passes by, Cyrus does not pay. He mumbles "I will not be participating, but I still wish to hear this riddle." as the man holds the bag to him.

Upon hearing the riddle, Cyrus places his hand upon his chin. Hearing the riddle he mumbles "Loud house, quiet man... Creator... Both endure time, but the man moves more quickly, if at all... The man is bound to house until death, and relies upon it for life..."

Perhaps reaching an answer, he simply folds his hands behind his back, waiting to see if someone else calls it out.

[Mephistophelian 977]

*As more people call out answers, the man, who has now positioned himself on top of a chair, is laughing ever more. Glancing at those who should out the answers, he replies to them.*

"Nay, t'is not an Orc, ma'am, and nay, it shall never be a mountain, sir! No no no, it is not a cat, fair sir!"

*scratching his beard! he waits for more answers.*

((There, just gave you a few of the infinite number of things it is not going to be. I am so nice, aren't I? Also, Sentlit, why don't you send me a pm so we can see if you know the answer because, I have to say, if I didn't know the answer myself, I would struggle! Pro tip: translate this into modern English, it helps a lot!))

Sonn Ander knows the answer but he will wait for people to try answer

Kan stands in front of the man and with a sigh he responds with the only thing he can think of that makes any sense at all.

 

((Response hidden until I know if I'm right or wrong. I PMed Chump it.))

 

 

Kan crosses his arms and waits to he is he was lucky and managed to get it right.

[Silent™ 552]

Sylen walks past the crowd and asks one of them what all the commotion is about, and they tell him about the riddle contest. He ponders for a moment before coming across the answer to the riddle, then smiles and goes to sit down nearby, waiting to see how long till someone finally gets the answer

[__WaterFox__ 636]

Alirya nods then pulls out a piece of charcoal and writes something on a scrap of paper

She reaches out drop infront of the riddler's face as she passes

[Mephistophelian 977]

*glances at the relative location of Kan. Looking intently at Kan, he tries to remember if Kan had payed 20 Minas or not. Winking at Kan, he puts a finger to his lips and continues waiting for the answers to come streaming for a while.*

((Kan, good job! I will send you the Minas once you send me my 20 Minas. Also, please refrain from not posting occurring to my really simple rules (because you kinda did). Either way, good job, and try and do the next challenge!))

Kan slowly makes his way over, slipping him a small pouch of the twenty minas with a small smile and a returned wink.

 

((Sorry about that, was having issues getting on the server. I added a picture to show I paid now though.))
